"I''ve long since epted another, and the person I''ve epted happens to be another me. He doesn''t know that, though, and thinks I''m a selfish bastard. He wanted to leave me in that dimension, but he''s been proven wrong now."


    Wilbur leaped off the stone wall, frowning at Stefan. "Who''s this person you''re talking about?"


    "Don''t you know?" Stefan sneered, and then his expression suddenly froze as he asked, "How did you even make it into the Cave of Korst without him?"


    Wilbur lit up at the words. "Are you talking about the other you? The other Stefan?"


    "No, not the other me, the Brighter Side of me. You''re now speaking to the Darker Side of me. More urately, Stefan separated himself and his shadow into two different beings. He''s him, and his shadow is his shadow. And, well, I''m that shadow."


    Despite the fact that different dimensions used cultivation methods, Wilbur could guess that Stefan had been to the dimension where the Shadow Men lived. What he had not expected was Stefan splitting himself and his shadow into two different entities.


    "Why did he do that?"


    "You''d like to know, wouldn''t you?"


    "That''s right."


    "It''s a pity you''ll never find out." Stefan darted up to Wilbur once more,unching an attack at Wilbur''s face. Wilbur tried to dodge, but the Shadow Man on his left grabbed him by the arm and hurled him backward.


    The next second, both Shadow Men took out their steel knives and came charging at Wilbur. Wilbur leaped into the air at this, chanting a spell as the dragon aura around him condensed into a huge dragon once more.


    Wilbur controlled the dragon to battle against the two Shadow Men. However, the two Shadow Men did not let up in the slightest. Instead, they continued to force the huge dragon backward. Atst, both Shadow Men charged together and drove their knives into the dragon''s belly at the same time.


    The dragon let out a cry of agony, exploding into a cloud of rampant dragon aura. At the same time, both Shadow Men reached out as their arms extended several meters to grab Wilbur''s legs, yanking him down from mid-air.


    Wilbur fell to the ground and grabbed the two Shadow Men, spinning them round and round before tossing them against the stone wall.


    The Shadow Men crashed into the wall and somehow melded into it, disappearing from sight. Following that, two shadows emerged from the wall once more from different directions and charged at Wilbur once again.


    Wilbur nced at the first dragon cauldron hovering in the air, leaping upwards. Since the dragon was no match for them, he would have to use his ultimate move.


    The dragon aura in the first dragon cauldron spilled out as Wilbur withdrew all the dragon aura from it.


    The Shadow Men grabbed Wilbur''s feet to pull him onto the ground once more. Yet just as Wilburnded, he pressed down on the Shadow Men''s shoulders with a hand while letting out a cry of fury.


    "Arghhh!"


    A massive surge of dragon aura rushed out from him and filled the room, bringing about a powerful vortex. A new cut would appear on Wilbur''s face each second, but several secondster, both Shadow Men were reduced to dust with a howl of anguish.


    However, the exploded dragon aura did not fade away just yet, causing more injuries to build up on Wilbur''s body as time went on. Just then, the first dragon cauldron soared into the air once more to reabsorb the rampant dragon aura in the room.
