A bright light flashed at the bottom of the ocean, spreading as far as a thousand meters. Akator, who had been hiding there, exploded into countless pieces that sank into the ocean. "Akator!" The liquid woman let out a scream of agony. Her hands turned into thin vines, stretching toward Wilbur. They wrapped themselves around him, and the woman used the vines to pull herself up to him. "You killed Adam, and now you've killed Akator too. I'm going to kill you even if it costs me my life!" The liquid woman locked her arms around Wilbur's body, soaring into the thunderous clouds in the sky. The whirlpool was gone now that Akator was dead, and the woman flew into the clouds with Wilbur as the clouds let out deafening rumbles. A bolt of lightning struck Wilbur and the woman. Rain lashed down relentlessly as the thunderous clouds shrank in size. Wilbur's body was reaching its limit. Wilbur and the woman were enveloped in a ball of lightning, one with electrical currents that onl
The woman wiped her tears away, looking at Wilbur remorsefully. "I hope you won't blame me. I used to be able to control the good and evil thoughts on this planet in the past, but now many cultivators have started reaching out to different dimensions after reaching a certain level with their cultivation. Lots of evil thoughts have been brought into this world, and thus I cannot control even my own thoughts. I hope you don't fault me for that." The woman got onto her knees again, but Wilbur scrambled to help her back up. "Please don't say that. I know how hard you've had it, and I don't blame you." "I actually have something else to ask from you. Since the Light Gloves have appeared, that means that the world of light has not given up on this world yet. I hope you can use your Light Gloves to rid this world of all its evil thoughts so that light may return to it," the woman pleaded. Wilbur could sense the woman's sincerity and a lump grew in his throat. "Don't worry. I'll do my be
Wilbur gritted his teeth, shaking his head. He had thought that Senior Fremont would have surely considered the lives of Wrecknam's inhabitants, but that did not seem to be the case. If Wilbur was to leave with the dragon cauldron fragment, two hundred thousand people would end up dead. He would rather give up the cauldron fragment than have that happen. "Listen to me, kid. It's just their fate." "No, I can't do it. I'm sorry." Wilbur turned to leave, and the woman's voice rang from behind him. "Are you really going to give up just like that? You've worked so hard to come this far. Do you want the dragon cauldron fragment or not?" Wilbur stopped in his tracks. The urge to turn back gnawed at his heart, but he ended up gritting his teeth and saying, "I don't want it anymore!" He turned to leave when the domain disappeared. Wilbur was back at the bottom of the well, with the sound of applause coming from around him. Lawrence, Kennard, and the others appeared, and Lawrence s
The seven days made Wilbur understand many things. Life may have its obstacles, but this world was still a positive one where everyone hoped for a better future. People could work together to build a better city and life for themselves. Wilbur stood atop the city walls, feeling the rays of sunlight on his skin. This only made him all the more certain that he had a mission on his shoulders. Upon returning to the hotel, Wilbur took out the dragon cauldron fragment to read its spirit message while also channeling his spirit energy into the piece to find out where the fourth piece would be. What shocked Wilbur was that the fourth fragment of the ninth dragon cauldron was also in Kosanto, down in the southern part of the country in a small village by the border. Wrecknam was located on the west side of Kosanto, and its planes only flew out to Riol International Airport. Thus, Wilbur had to fly there, and then take another plane to Samon, located south of Kosanto. He arrived in Sam
Arsi shrugged and sighed. "Who would willingly do research on something like that? What we need now is a solution, not research." Despite Arsi being clearly frustrated by Wilbur's questions, he was still nice enough to send Wilbur to his hotel. After chatting with Arsi, Wilbur found out that there were around a hundred thousand people currently living in Diseya. Wilbur was rather shocked by what he learned. That number proved that this village was very densely populated for a village its size. Arsi saw the look on Wilbur's face and chuckled. "That's alright. Lots of people were just as shocked when they first came to Diseya. We're used to it, though. Diseya hasn't been around for very long, and it's sure to attract more people as our economy grows. When that happens, Diseya will be upgraded to a township, then even a city." "A miracle will be made out of this village, and everyone will marvel at how special of a place this is." Wilbur raised an eyebrow. "I'd like to know just h
After hearing Beverly's words, Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief. He had guessed about as much even before calling. "Help me ask the department if I should get rid of the Night Demon as a representative of Dasha." "Sure, give me a moment." Around twenty seconds passed, and Beverly responded, "I've just asked the department for you, Deacon Penn. They have approved of your request. The Night Demon is extremely dangerous, and we hope you can help Kosanto get rid of it as soon as possible." "Got it." Wilbur hung up and dialed Arsi's number. "Hello, Mister Penn. Is anything the matter?" "Arsi, can you confirm that all the Night Demons are in Diseya and not one of them has escaped?" "That's what it looks like at the moment, at least. All the cars of Diseya are in that parking lot, and anyone going to get it would have to go through a special genetic detector. They'd be caught right away if they were a Night Demon." Wilbur was rather intrigued after hearing his response. "So, wha
"Don't go over there! You can't go soft at a time like this, come on! Hurry up, he's about to get to us!" Arsi turned on the saw, charging forward. Wilbur looked up to see the Night Demon suddenly getting on his feet, running toward them. "You're all going to die!" The Night Demon let out a cold, murderous laugh as it pounced on Arsi. Wilbur jumped in front of Arsi at the very last second, swinging out with his weapon. The Night Demon was cut clean in half, toppling over immediately. Blood gushed everywhere, and the air was silent aside from the buzzing of Arsi's saw and his panting as he stared at Wilbur in disbelief. "Mister Penn… Y-You're a cultivator?" "Yes, I am. Leave the Night Demons to me." Wilbur looked at Arsi, but his gaze turned firm. "Thank you, Mister Penn, but I'll stick by your side and fight till the very end." Arsi did not need to take part in the battle at all, but Wilbur saw the determination in his gaze and did not turn him down. Everyone had their
The two men returned to the parking lot. Arsi took out two bottles of soda from the fridge at the mini-mart and tossed one of them at Wilbur. Wilbur caught the soda, then took a few gulps before wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Arsi, do you know where these Night Demons came from? Do you know who created them?" Wilbur was certain that if the root of the Night Demons was not destroyed, all it would take was just one Night Demon to show up in Diseya, and the entire country of Kosanto, and even the few neighboring countries would be in grave danger. The only way to save Kosanto was to thoroughly destroy the Night Demons. Despite having obtained information on the Night Demons from Beverly, this research was probably rather private, and thus even the Dashan Department of Paranormal Research and Defense did not have sufficient information on it. That was exactly why Wilbur hoped to get some information from Arsi. Diseya was a small town by the border, and maybe the people who h
