Grote, who had thought the entire time that this was just a joke, scowled at the three men. His expression turned ashen as he shouted, "How dare you attack me, Conrad!"


    "Why else would we evene looking for you? Take this, Grote!"


    Conrad sent out an attack, that Grote swiftly avoided by swerving sharply aside. He then aimed a kick at Conrad''s chest.


    Grote used the pressure to fly backward,nding on the ground as Conrad rubbed himself in the chest. "What are you standing there for? Get him!"


    Wilbur and Felix exchanged nces before attacking Grote at the same time. Grote smirked at the sight, saying, "Foolish of you two to make an enemy out of me."


    Grote muttered a spell, and a nearby tank exploded. The water it had contained quickly flowed up to him.


    Wilbur had reached Grote by then, and the water from the tank wrapped itself around Wilbur like a strong chain. Wilbur looked down and was shocked at what he saw. The water wrapped around his belly resembled the body of a dragon. "Water element dimensional powers!"


    At the same time, Felix had reached Grote''s left side as he stabbed Grote with his sword. Grote raised his left hand, and a jet of mes several meters long shot out of his palm to engulf Felixpletely.


    "Senior Horne!"


    Wilbur shook himself out of the water dragon''s control with a sudden surge of power, sending out strong vibrations to crush the water dragon into droplets.


    "How dare you kill Senior Horne! I''m going to make you pay!"


    Wilbur summoned the Magic Dragon de as he leaped onto Grote''s head, bringing the sword down. A powerful ck sword aura came gushing out, just as the scattered droplets of water on the ground turned into a curved defensive barrier.


    The defense barrier quickly absorbed Wilbur''s attack, and it was nowhere to be seen the next second. Just then, Felix''s voice rang from behind them. "Don''t be rash, Master! Grote''s a double cultivator, you need to get back!"


    Just as Felix''s voice rang through the air, a gigantic hand reached out from the watery barrier to grab Wilbur. It squeezed hard as Grote glowered at him from behind the barrier. "Do you really think you can take me on? You''re no more than a lower dimension cultivator!"


    The pain shooting through Wilbur''s body made him grit his teeth, and his mind raced for a solution. All of a sudden, a ck vortex formed on the surface of his body that quickly sliced through the gigantic hand.


    The pressure squeezing around Wilbur disappeared as the broken pieces of the hand turned into a mass of droplets once more.


    "That''s... That''s the dark space dimensionalw!"


    Felix stared at Wilbur in shock, whose pupils were now a jet-ck color. A murderous aura rose into the air as Wilbur leaped up to Grote, the ck vortex lifting him up.


    Grote tried his best to cast his water element and fire element attacks, but the vortex quickly absorbed all of them.


    The next second, Wilbur grabbed Grote and pressed him to the ground.
