Without a doubt, the beast trapped within the formation was a dragon. Wilbur took a deep breath, then stepped into the formation.


    The view before him began to shift dramatically at once. Wilbur was now surrounded by gray skies and endless volcanoes. He was on a spot ofnd covered inva that had cooled down.


    Boom!


    Two volcanoes erupted just then, spewing out red-hotva. Wilbur could even sense the energy within the volcanova. Everything here felt so real despite being an illusory realm.


    "Roar!"


    Just then, an explosive roar could be heard. Wilbur turned to see an enormous, winged dragon climbing out of one of the volcanoes. It towered over Wilbur like a giant, radiating a wave of dragon aura that made him dizzy.


    Had Wilbur not been a dragon n cultivator, he would have been forced to his knees by the immense powering from the dragon.


    The dragon let out another furious roar as it noticed Wilbur. It spread its wings, soaring into the sky before turning and swooping down quickly.


    Wilbur''s jaw dropped open. The dragon wasing for him! Just as he had snapped out of his stupor, the dragon opened its mouth to spit out a jet of mes.


    At the veryst second, Wilbur channeled the power of light in his body to emit a blinding glow. A ball of light spread out around him, but the dragon''s mes enveloped it at once.


    Wilbur raised his hands, using the Light Gloves to absorb the mes through his defensive barrier. It was not long before the gloves began to glow as well.


    The dragon spat out another jet of mes, enveloping Wilbur''s defensive barrier once more. This time, however, Wilbur was quickly able to absorb the energy from the mes before channeling them into the form of a white dragon. Wilbur had the white dragon charge out of the barrier to attack the winged dragon.


    The white dragon soared around in the air, swiping its ws at the winged dragon''s neck. The winged dragon spat out a jet of mes, but the white dragon did not back up in the slightest as it grabbed the winged dragon by the neck.


    Wilbur raised his right hand, opening his palm before closing it abruptly. The white dragon''s ws radiated a powerful energy that had the winged dragon crying out as it struggled in vain. Wilbur was rather pleased to see this and felt that this would be enough to defeat this beast.


    However, the next second, golden runes filled the air within the formation. They moved around slowly, and Wilbur could feel his own energy flowing out of him as


    a cloud of ck miasma appeared at the winged dragon''s neck.


    As the ck miasma continued to expand, the winged dragon''s neck slipped out of the white dragon''s grasp with a loud pop. The winged dragon took the opportunity to escape, flying away to the top of a volcano as it roared at Wilbur smugly.


    Just then, the white dragon had disappeared as Wilburnded. He felt as if all the energy had been drained from his body, and it was exhausting to even stand up. Looking around, Wilbur suddenly realized that it was not the formation that was trapping the winged dragon.


    No, the winged dragon was actually a part of the formation itself. Killing the winged dragon might be the key to breaking the formation, but Wilbur found that battling it would cause the formation to absorb his own energy and wear him down instead.


    Wilbur frowned, muttering to himself. "If my energy can be absorbed, does that mean that it..."


    Just as he was pondering to himself, the winged dragon had taken flight once again as it spat out a jet of mes. Wilbur raised his hands, using the Light Gloves to convert the mes into the power of light.


    This time, it took him around ten seconds to form a defensive barrier. Following that, Wilbur expanded his defense barrier once more, but the winged dragon seemed to be able to tell what he was trying to do. It withdrew its mes and spat out a stream of ck miasma in the shape of a spiral instead.


    The miasma quickly formed a vortex and quickly swallowed up Wilbur''s defensive barrier made from the power of light. It was not long before Wilbur could sense the miasma trying to absorb his powers. However, the power of light was a middle dimensional power, thus the ck miasma ended up being absorbed to be a part of the power of light instead.
