"What''s that? Are you doubting me?"
"I..." Felix scrambled to kneel. "I mean no disrespect, Master."
"It''s alright. Get up. I''ll show you a perfect Buck Town that I''ll have full control over
by then. By the way, I heard that Wilbur Penn refused to leave Buck Town. He went to the outskirts instead. I gave him a chance, Felix. Don''t fault me for this."
"What?"
Felix was shocked to hear the news. He thought that Wilbur was out of Buck Town, only to hear that he had stubbornly chosen to stay. Felix sighed, saying a silent prayer for Wilbur in his head.
"Don''t you worry, Felix. As long as you stay by my side, I promise Wilbur won''t be able to hurt you. In fact, he won''t be a threat to you at all.
"Thank you, Master."
Over in the snow, Wilbur took on dozens of opponents consecutively. All the challengers were after his gold coins but turned out to be far too weak. Wilbur ended up killing all of them before changing his appearance when he was about to reach the edge of the forest.
Wilbur realized that there was not really any point in staying caught up with these unskilled cultivators. He now had a thousand and five hundred years of cultivation in him, and these other cultivators who had been killing wild beasts in exchange for bronze coins only had between two to five hundred years of cultivation.
If this were to go on, Wilbur would have to kill even more people. He deemed these people innocent and thus chose to change his appearance.
Two hourster, Wilbur returned to Lake nter once again. It was abnormally cold there, as no cultivators had dared to visit there after the massacre following the energy aura leak in the Azure Dragon Lake.
However, this had actually turned the ce into a rather serene spot. Wilbur walked to theke, cupping up some water in his hands and taking a sip. He stopped, frowning at theke before widening his eyes in surprise. Did the aura from the Azure Dragon Lake leak here again?
At the thought, Wilbur leaped into theke without hesitation. Sure enough, the energy aura grew stronger the deeper he dived. Wilbur reached the bottom of theke and saw the azure dragon formed out of energy aura once more.
The azure dragon was nothing but meek and docile around Wilbur, swimming around him and calling out softly. Wilbur took out the bronze mirror, and it began to spin as it absorbed the energy aura around it.
Wilbur muttered a spell, diving into the mirror dimension. It was practically paradise in there, and Wilbur sat cross-legged on arge rock as he felt the speed of time quicken alongside the energy aura in the air.
He closed his eyes. It was fine that Felix had abandoned him, and Augheimer''s dismissal of his dreams as a joke was none of his concern either, as they were entitled to their own opinions.
What mattered to Wilbur was the promise he made to the Child of Light to make Earth a Light World, to maintain its dimensional order so that it would not be usurped by the evil gods!
