It was only then that Wilbur realized he hadpletely forgotten that the power of light and the power of destruction had different roots to begin with. Despite both of them being dimensionalws of the middle dimensions, they werepletely different forms of energy.


    There was darkness with light, and there was evil with good.


    Upon realizing this, Wilbur began to radiate warmth. He borrowed the power of light from the dragon''s head on his back, and its warmth quickly made Wilbur''s body glow with a white light. As the white light grew, the Shadow Men who rushed forward were killed by its glow.


    The white light seemed to be immensely powerful, reducing the iing twenty or so Shadow Mening in from either side to dust.


    At the same time, Wilbur felt his body picking up speed in its recovery with the help of the white light. He heaved a sigh of relief as the Shadow Men finally disappeared, sitting down once more to channel his dragon aura to rest.


    The Shadow Men did not dare to get too close under the protection of the power of light, which meant that the most important thing to do now was to restore his body. The first dragon cauldron hovered in mid-air, absorbing the rampant dragon aura radiating off Wilbur as his body was slowly restored.


    Half an hourter, Wilbur had mostly healed. He got off the ground, continuing to head into the cave. A whileter, Stefan''s voice rang in his head once more, "It does seem like you are gifted indeed, Wilbur Penn. You managed to take the Shadow Men down."


    Wilbur did not believe Stefan anymore this time. After all, the ant-men had nearly killed Wilbur, and Stefan had not breathed a word to him then. If Wilbur really was the chosen one that Stefan was talking about, Stefan should be helping Wilbur find the Light Armor more actively.


    It was not right of Stefan to remain silent in such a moment of urgency like earlier, even if he was trying to test Wilbur. It was definitely true that he was trying to test Wilbur, but Wilbur was unsure of what his goals were with the test.


    After all, there was no way Stefan would just leave him in such a state just now if he really was the chosen one. Being the chosen one could just be an excuse, or Wilbur was just one of many, many more of the Light Warrior''s chosen ones.


    Just then, Wilbur suddenly thought of the Dark Messenger''s words. After all, the Dark Messenger had killed over twenty chosen ones in the past, and Wilbur could just be one of those many chosen ones as well.


    Stefan did not seem very pleased with Wilbur and thus did not help him out just now. Wilbur, having been the leader of the Abyss Mercenaries, had long since seen through humanity. Now, his subconscious was telling him that Stefan was not to be trusted.


    Maybe Stefan did have the Light Armor with him, but he might not be willing to hand it over to Wilbur. Now that things were in this state, the only thing Wilbur could do was follow Stefan''s instructions and find the Shadow Men on his own.


    Wilbur reached the end of the cave soon enough, where there was a crossroads with three paths. "Senior Stefan, could you please tell me which path I should take?"


    "The one on the left. You''ll see me after you walk through it."


    "Alright."
