Living With My Lady Boss

However, the large creature was very cunning. Wilbur thought that splitting the ground open would provoke the creature into a frenzied retaliation, and perhaps it would come out of hiding and fight him in the open.

Much to Wilbur's surprise, the creature did not emerge from underground even though it was furious. The creature kept attacking Wilbur with its vines while remaining hidden.

Initially, only a single vine would emerge from the ground, but as time passed, more and more vines appeared until there were dozens of them attacking him at the same time. Despite the increasing number of vines, none of them managed to harm Wilbur.

Wilbur was a dragon clan cultivator, after all. His dragon aura could sense everything within the space it covered. So, whenever the massive creature underground made any movement, he knew its exact position.

The cunning creature wanted to use the ground as cover to hunt its prey above. Unfortunately for the creature, Wilbur was not an ordinary target. Despite attacking continuously for half an hour, it did not cause any harm to Wilbur. On the contrary, it had lost over a dozen of its vines to Wilbur's attacks.

Wilbur realized that the huge creature had no intention of coming out, so he planned to force it out of hiding. Soon, Wilbur had an idea. He aimed the Magic Dragon Blade in his right hand at one spot, then abruptly made a slash attack.

As Wilbur swung the Magic Dragon Blade, a green vine emerged from the ground. The attack cut through the vine, cutting it vertically almost a meter deep. Wilbur then severed the vine with a swift horizontal slash attack.

A sharp and piercing scream immediately emanated from beneath the ground as the huge creature quickly retracted its injured vine. Wilbur picked up the severed vine from the ground. It would not kill the creature, but the pain of having its appendage sliced would undoubtedly be unbearable for the huge creature lurking beneath the earth.

Wilbur believed he could force the huge creature out from beneath the ground through this with repeated attempts. He could imagine it as a bizarre plant creature covered in tendrils.

However, something quite unexpected occurred at that moment. The vine in his hand rapidly softened and eventually turned into a puddle of green goo.

Drip!

The green goo dripped onto the ground and quickly seeped into the soil. Wilbur frowned when he saw that. He thought that the creature hiding beneath the earth was a huge plant creature, but it seemed that the being was not a plant at all. It must have been a special type of life form.

His feet were suddenly ensnared by goo while he was lost in thought. He looked down and saw a green goo seeping up from the ground. The goo clung to his feet, then slowly crept up along his legs, seemingly trying to envelop his body.

The green goo moved quickly, and it reached his chest in an instant. The goo continued to rise, and it soon enveloped his neck. Wilbur struggled, but it was futile because the goo had a powerful adhesive force, and it encased his entire body in no time.

More green goo oozed up from the ground. The huge creature was quite cunning, and it did not let its guard down. It piled up a large amount of goo centering around Wilbur, forming a green sphere.

A huge sphere made of green goo over ten meters in diameter was formed on the grassland in the blink of an eye. Wilbur was swallowed by the green sphere, which sat still on the grassland. It secreted a lot of corrosive fluid inside, seemingly intent on digesting Wilbur.

Wilbur kept struggling, but he could not break free of the sphere's hold, which made him feel a deep sense of despair. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind. The voice belonged to the Child of Light. 'Wilbur, the power of light and the power of destruction are one. The power of light heals all, while the power of the destruction destroys all.'noveldrama

"The power of destruction!" Wilbur cried out.

Wilbur suddenly widened his eyes. The Light Gloves could convert the power of light into the power of destruction. Since the power of destruction could destroy everything, it might be able to break through the sphere and save him.
