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 Kingst 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, you have the Light Gloves."


    "The Light Gloves?"


    "That''s right, it''s the Light Gloves."


    Bernard voiced out his own thoughts. Even though the Shadow King was powerful, he relied on the power of Shadow Men. This power stemmed from the rules of the Shadow Men''s world, and in the world Wilbur was in right now, there was hardly anything that could resist the power of the Shadow Men. Fortunately, many strong beings had once visited this world, and the Light Warrior even left behind a set of Light Armor here. Wilbur obtaining the Light Gloves was possibly the result of a higher power. Now, under Wilbur''s control, the Light Gloves could convert the Shadow King''s power into the power of light.


    By continuously converting the Shadow King''s power using the Light Gloves, his strength would gradually be drained, diminishing his power. When the Shadow King''s strength weakened to roughly ten percent, they could use Wilbur''s dragon aura to kill him.


    Bernard said, "Now, there''s only one problem. Wilbur, can your body continue to absorb and store the power of light? If it reaches the limit, you must release it. We can continue to assist you on the side, but ultimately, you''re the key to defeating the Shadow King."


    "I can still continue to absorb and store the power of light, but I''m not sure how much more power of light my body can tolerate. It might reach the limit soon," Wilbur replied.


    While Wilbur found that his body had grown stronger recently, and the ability of the dragon head mark on his back to absorb and store light power also increased several times over, he still did not dare to be careless. After all, the Shadow King was extremely powerful, far surpassing the Light Saint.


    If the Shadow King was too strong and his power went over the limits of Wilbur''s ability to store the power of light, Wilbur might end up exploding due to being overloaded.


    Perry said, "Very well, then you keep at it. If you can''t continue to absorb the Shadow King''s power during the battle, release it. It will still have a certain impact on the Shadow King."


    "Alright," Wilbur nodded.


    That night, the group boarded a speedboat and swiftly advanced on the sea under the moonlight. At that moment, a gust of sea breeze blew past. Wilbur closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. Then, he opened his eyes and pointed to a spot ahead, saying, "The Shadow King is there."


    As soon as he said that, the sea surged, and a massive ck octopus appeared before them.


    Looking up the Shadow King was atop the octopus'' head. At that moment, the lower half of the Shadow King''s body merged with the ck octopus, leaving only his upper body exposed. Under the silver moonlight, the Shadow King controlled the octopus, resembling a giant sea monster.
