The dragon aura''s immense vibrations sent Jerome flying back several meters. At the same time, Jerome''s invisible clone that reappeared within five meters from Wilbur was sent flying as well beforending heavily on the ground.


    "Oh my, I haven''t met an opponent quite like you in thest thirty years now. This time, I''m going to show you what I''m capable of."


    As he uttered those words, both Jerome and his clone chanted a spell at the same time. Their eyes flew open and shouted in unison, "tinum Protection!"


    Immediately, both Jerome and his clone emitted a golden hue. It was a defensive shield that stuck close to the body, and Wilbur saw a form of energy he had never seen before as the shield took shape.


    This energy looked simr to Wind Sprite''s magical tower, which meant that Jerome''s tinum Protection was his version of middle dimensional protection. It looked like all Wilbur had to do was break through the tinum Protection and he would be able to defeat Jerome.


    Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he initially thought Jerome would be extremely powerful. Now, however, it seemed like Jerome was not that much stronger than Wind Sprite.


    Yes, Wilbur should not have trusted Wind Sprite.


    Just as Wilbur was deep in thought, both Jerome and his clone came charging over at the same time. Jerome and his clone were not invisible this time, and Wilbur controlled the dragon to circle around himself. He thought that the dragon would be able to block Jerome''s attacks, only for the dragon to vanish into thin air uponing into contact with Jerome''s defensive shield.


    "What the..."


    Both Jeromes leaped into the air, raising their metal hammers before swinging them down heavily on Wilbur. At the veryst second, Wilbur summoned the historical halberd. He spun the halberd twice in his hands, raising it just as the two hammers came down.


    Boom!


    Wilbur fell from the air after the loud collision, with his body stuck in the mud below like a nail.


    "Hahaha! Prepare to die, you fool!"


    The two Jeromes waved their hammers at the same time, swinging in Wilbur''s direction. Wilbur gritted his teeth and soared into the air, backing up several meters beforending on the ground on his feet.


    Both Jeromes hurled their hammers at Wilbur together, and he held the historical halberd up to deflect the attack. With a loud ng, their weapons met, and Wilbur was sent flying away as the two hammers flew back to Jerome and his clone.


    Wilbur finally realized how powerful Jerome was then. He was far stronger than he appeared and had been hiding his true powers so that his opponent would let their guard down and think that he was only able to rely on tinum protection. The truth was that Jerome had only used a third of his powers from the very start.


    Upon activating tinum Protection, Jerome would use all his powers then and throw his opponent off.


    Wilbur wasted no time and activated the Dragon''s Safehaven. All at once, a brilliantly colored ray of light appeared around Wilbur, forming a shield that enveloped him. The two hammers bounced off harmlessly after hitting it, then flew backward from the impact.
