A fierce chase broke out between the two as they ran wildly. Upon reaching a crossroad, the Shadow King split into four clones. Three of the clones came charging at Wilbur from three different directions, and the other one stood right there before turning to look at Wilbur. "You might have the protection of the middle and upper dimensions, which I definitely envy, but you're far too innocent if you think that's going to be enough for you to protect the world. This world is going to end in destruction by my hands. Remember my name—the Shadow King!" Upon saying the words, the Shadow King disappeared in a plume of black miasma. Wilbur stood at the crossroads, detecting the three powerful auras coming from different directions. All three auras were extremely powerful, and Wilbur was at a loss. The Shadow King was far too powerful, to the point where even his clones were capable of emitting powerful auras. "F*ck it, I'll take them as they come!" Wilbur charged down the path on the l
The whales were covered in bloody injuries as if they had died from the attack of some sort of sharp weapon. The reporter in the news said that this might be a result of some illegal fishing on the Rostead coast, where fishermen had no choice but to dump the whales they had caught back into the ocean. Whales were precious creatures of the ocean, especially blue whales. The reporter urged the public against illegal fishing, but Wilbur froze at the sight of the live feed from the ocean. The dead whales looked especially fresh, and there was a pattern to their injuries. Those injuries did not look like they were caused by binding ropes around them to hold them down before going in for the kill, but like a gigantic creature had wrapped a tentacle of sorts around the whales to strangle them to death. Perry frowned. "Could he be behind this?" Bernard nodded. "Yep. It's him for sure." The image of the Shadow King's giant hand from the dark space he had conjured last night entered th
"Alright, that's not on you. From what I know, you've been working for Locke for ten years now. Is that true?" "Yes, sir. As a matter of fact, I would have been working for Mister Locke for eleven years in two months." "Alright. Well, since you've been with him for so long, I'm sure you must know his weaknesses and flaws. Surely you know what he likes and dislikes, right?" Tony paused for a beat, before saying, "Actually, Mister Locke isn't too different from the other heads of families out there. The only thing that made him stand out from the others was that Mister Locke hated anyone looking down on him or talking down to him. Mister Locke absolutely hated being called useless. From what I know, Mister Locke has gotten rid of anyone who tried to look down on him. Those people would either end up missing or leaving Rostead altogether. It can be said that Mister Locke was unrivaled in the country." Wilbur was able to find out Locke's weaknesses upon coming out of the manor. It
"Lord Shadow King, you have to get revenge for my son!" "I will do it! Just shut up!" Wilbur knew that his plan had succeeded. There was a smirk on his lips as he said, "Mister Locke, it seems that you're not the strongest man in Rostead after all. Hart's death proved that you're nothing but trash." The Shadow King took a step forward before he turned back to face Wilbur. A voice that sounded like Locke's came from his throat, "What did you say? What did you just say?" The Shadow King said, "Enough, Locke, you've disappointed me greatly." "Shadow King, don't forget that we're in this together. If you don't help me with this, you can kiss your plan goodbye." "You despicable fool, I'll make you pay for threatening me." The Shadow King looked up at Wilbur with coldness in his eyes and said, "It looks like I'll have to kill you first. Otherwise, this guy won't listen to me." Wilbur flipped his right hand, summoning up the thunder cleaver. Then he said, "Come, I've wanted to
Bernard said, "I think we should assess the Shadow King's strength now. After all, our chances will be much better if we have more information." Perry looked at Bernard and asked, "So, how much of his strength do you think the Shadow King has now?" Bernard replied, "Around thirty percent, but no more than that. If Wilbur hadn't stopped the Shadow King last night, then the Shadow King's strength would have reached at least fifty percent. If that were the case, then the Shadow King would be able to kill the whole of Rostead tonight. But now, the shadow King is still only at thirty percent, so we still have a chance to kill him off." "A chance?" Wilbur said with worry, "The Shadow King is getting stronger with time, and neither of you is a match for him. I don't think it'll be easy to deal with him." Bernard said, "Honestly, if you didn't appear, it would be hard to deal with Shadow King, but since you're here, then it'll be much easier to deal with the Shadow King. After all, y
The Shadow King gritted his teeth and said, "Wilbur, you refused to take the easy path that was offered and insisted on going through hell. I originally intended to spare you, but I didn't expect you to dare to come to the sea. You're nothing without the Light Gloves bestowed upon you by a middle dimension expert. Very well, now I shall show you what true power is!" With a roar, the Shadow King directly controlled the black octopus to extend several tentacles toward the speedboat carrying Wilbur and the others. At that exact moment, Bernard quickly changed the direction of the speedboat and rushed out hundreds of meters in the opposite direction. Waves splashed on the surface of the sea. Bernard once again turned the speedboat towards the huge black octopus, gritting her teeth and saying, "Is everyone ready? The big battle is about to begin." "Hmph," Perry sneered coldly and said, "No wonder there were whale carcasses floating on the sea. So, it was this guy's doing. It seems we'
Seeing this, Wilbur knew that everyone had fallen into the Shadow King's trap. He hurriedly shouted to everyone, "This is bad! You all need to spread out. He's using the black panther to absorb the spiritual energy from you. If this continues, he will drain all of your spiritual energy dry!" Hearing this, Bernard immediately changed his expression and said, "Wilbur's right, Captain, we need to spread out!" Perry said, "It's not that I don't want to spread out, but that guy is now absorbing the spiritual energy inside us. We're all under his control." "So, what do we do now?" Perry looked at Wilbur and said, "Wilbur, please." "I got it." Wilbur released his dragon aura, condensing it into the form of a large dragon. Then, the dragon roared and charged toward the formation where the eight people were located. Boom! The moment the dragon collided with the formation, an explosion occurred. The dragon aura dispersed, and the eight people were thrown out by the powerful force
The black spheres swiftly moved on the tentacles and quickly flowed back into the main body. The Shadow King chuckled and said, "Wilbur, you are the most delicious delicacy in this dimension. Unfortunately, tonight, all your power will belong to me." "You arrogant fellow! Tonight, I'll show you that there are also powerful beings in this world!" Wilbur broke free from the tentacles, emitting a white light all over his body. The next moment, he rushed towards the black octopus. The thunder cleaver in his hand pierced one of the tentacles of the octopus. Then, a white light emanated from the thunder cleaver, and the power of the Shadow King continuously surged out from the octopus tentacle, infused into the thunder cleaver, and then absorbed by Wilbur. "You despicable creature! Get away from me!" The Shadow King forcefully threw Wilbur away. Wilbur floated in mid-air and said coldly, "Since you can absorb my power, I can also absorb yours!" The next moment, Wilbur turned into a
