Thomas could not help but chuckle at Wilbur's invitation to a battle, finding Wilbur ridiculous. However, Thomas was also an avid enthusiast of battles and never turned any down, and this was no exception.
"Listen up, young man! I've never lost before, so I'll hold back later to go easy on you. You're going to get lost like a good little boy once you're defeated, got it?"
"Sure."
Wilbur said calmly, "I'll leave as long as you defeat me. But if I win, you'll have to listen to my every order until you get on that plane. How's that?"
"Boy, you sure are cocky, but I must say that I respect that boldness. Alright, I agree with your suggestion. You're not winning anyway. Bring it on!"
Thomas shook Wilbur's hand, and both men stood across each other. It seemed like nothing was happening to an outsider, but they were already pitching their spiritual energy in a battle against each other.
Both men channeled their spiritual energy into their palms. Thomas did not show his mid Sanctuary level powers at the very start because he thought that Wilbur was merely at the Ambience level. After all, Wilbur was an acquaintance of Mister Clements, and Thomas did not want to embarrass him too badly.
Thus, Thomas merely channeled a little bit of spiritual energy to test Wilbur's boundaries. It was not long before Wilbur saw right through him, flashing a small smile. "You're pretty hardy, but this isn't all I've got."
Wilbur surged with spiritual energy once more, and Thomas followed suit with an icy expression. "I'd like to see just how powerful you are. You're at the Ambience level at best. Do you really think I'm going to lose to you?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Wilbur radiated a powerful Sanctuary level spiritual aura. Thomas' chest clenched at once, and he stared at Wilbur in shock. "You… You're a peak Sanctuary level elite!"
"Of course. What did you think? Do you think Mister Clements would have agreed to see me if I wasn't?"
"You…"
Both men surged with spiritual energy once more, and it was not long before Thomas reached his limit. "I refuse to believe that you're more powerful than I am. You're holding on for dear life, I just know it."
Wilbur said nothing, channeling a little harder and lifting Thomas into the air, tossing him around in a circle. Thomas slipped as he landed, stumbling a few steps forward before catching his balance.
"You!"
