"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
"Goodbye, coward." Wilbur left the parking lot disappointed, returning to his hotel. Despite being a little angry, Wilbur found himself empathizing with Arsi. It was nearly impossible for a regular human being to deal with something so complicated in such a short amount of time. Meanwhile, Arsi, knowing that he was nowhere near capable enough, could only accept the truth of the situation. Had Wilbur not shown up, the fate of Diseya would be none of his business. The International Union would take care of it. But now that he was here, he was going to make sure that the townsfolk were all safe. Regardless of whether the people here were born in Kosanto, or they had escaped from Moda, they were still human beings, and Wilbur was not going to let anyone just destroy the homes of human beings like that. The Night Demons issue could potentially be a simple case, but it could also turn out to be a tough one. Back when the zombies had appeared in that military base, it had cost the liv
The Night Demon exploded as soon as the thunder spear struck it, littering the ground with body parts. Wilbur stepped up to the other Night Demon, holding another thunder spear to its neck. The Night Demon's eye twitched violently. "Sir… Please, let's talk this out. Please don't kill me." "I only have one request: take me to the lab." "S-Sure. I'll take you there, sir. But it's very dangerous there, and they have cultivators guarding the place. They could kill you, sir." "Cultivators? I just so happen to be a cultivator myself, and I'd like to see who's stronger!" "Alright… Come with me, sir." The Night Demon took two steps backward and then led Wilbur toward Moda. Wilbur followed the Night Demon all the way to the border. Just as they were about to get close, Wilbur saw that there was a military outpost set up out here, and all the soldiers there were Night Demons. They roamed around the base, patrolling the grounds. Wilbur frowned at the sight. It was important to
Tony was terrified. "But sir… their camp's here. We won't be able to get past them to enter Moda. This is as far as I can take you, sir." "Fine, but at least tell me why these people are here." "I don't know. I just know that they're coming for Kosanto, and they're trying to send people into town." "What? Why would they want to do that?" Tony seemed to hesitate, and Wilbur pushed the thunder spear further against his neck. Tony closed his eyes and had no choice but to spill the beans. "They're trying to turn off the main power source in Diseya. Once that happens, there won't be any light in there so the Night Demons can attack freely. Three thousand Night Demons can spread the virus to a hundred thousand people in just one night. Then, the one hundred thousand people will spread out to other places and infect even more people." Wilbur gritted his teeth. "What an evil plan." "Indeed, it is." Tony's mind raced, and he said all of a sudden, "Look, sir! What's that?" Wilbur
Just as the other three cultivators charged toward Wilbur, two clones split out of Wilbur's body. The two clones charged at the two Sanctuary level cultivators, and Wilbur himself took on the purple-haired pre-Emperor level cultivator. Wilbur swung his thunder cleaver outward, cutting through the purple-haired man's body. Just then, the blonde man had come up to Wilbur and swung his sword down against Wilbur. Wilbur did not waste a second and intercepted the attack with his thunder cleaver. A powerful force exploded from the collision and sent both of them flying backward. The blonde man stared at Wilbur in shock and exclaimed, "You're at the Emperor level!" Wilbur sneered at him. "Took you long enough to realize." "Well, you're going to die either way!" The blonde man charged toward Wilbur, whose pupils had turned jet-black as he swung the thunder cleaver outward. The power of destruction pierced through the man's body, and he was reduced to dust before scattering into th
The incident affected the entire country, so a lot of Modans chose to flee Moda. Moda's population was reduced by ten percent that year itself. A country's citizens were the root of its economic development and were also an important factor in the existence of a nation. With ten percent of the population fleeing Moda, the country went into a frenzied state. Meanwhile, Kosanto's population increased by half a million people in that same year. Moda could not allow that, so they decided to attack Kosanto by using the Night Demon virus to cause a disaster in Kosanto. Moda believed that if Kosanto was disrupted by the Night Demon, its citizens would flee Kosanto, and Moda would be their best bet. Wilbur was curious about what happened in Moda two years ago. However, the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense had no detailed information on the matter. Wilbur could only call Layla. "Please give me a minute, Mister Penn. I'll forward the intel I found to your phone." Layla h
Smith followed Mackley's gaze and saw that there was indeed a silhouette in the desert. That person was walking leisurely as if he was pondering something. Smith said, "That's right. That should be Mister Penn. There shouldn't be anyone walking casually around this area other than him, after all." Mackley nodded. Both of them knew that the Moda government did not just send the Night Demon army to cross the borders and set up a military outpost in Kosanto. The government also sent ten thousand soldiers to set up military camps and seven separate blockades near the borders so that the Night Demon army would not turn on Moda. The Moda military also created three sets of plans after the operation commenced. Plan A was to convince Wilbur to join the Moda military and work for them. Plan B was to convince Wilbur to give up on interfering. Plan C was for the Moda military to step in if negotiations failed. They would then kill Wilbur and study his corpse. An Emperor level could
