Chapter 27 - Anger

<<Secret Art: Sky Splitter>>

Julius' eyes began to glow white as he got up from the ground with his mouth wide open. In his had was a large white blade with a straight line engraved right through the middle of his blade which glowed blue. While Julius was technically moving, he was unconscious and his body was just moving on its own, much like how he was when he fought against the bears in the forest which he was sent into to get food in the form of a rabbit.

"Is he possessed?" the fat man said as he turned around.

"Ready for round 2? I guess we'll just have to teach you to give up... don't worry boss, we've got this," said the two body guards as they charged towards Julius with a large grin on their face, all while the fat man who continued to laugh watched and anticipated for Julius to get the beating of his life.

At that precise moment, Jun and Mary had finally arrived at the dark district. Right as they began to descend from the sky, the saw as the two body guards began to charge towards Julius. So sure that the prince would be defeated easily, Jun forced his dragon to descend at and even faster rate, but even so, they wouldn't make it in time and they accepted that Julius would just have to bear a punch or two until they arrived to his rescue.

Right as the two body guards came close enough to Julius and raised their fist in an attempt to punch him, they suddenly came to a stop. Neither of them moved as their body stood in place... as for their heads, it was completely sliced off clean from their body. Since they didn't realize what happened, the two body guards got confused as to why everything was upside down and why they felt like they were falling. That was when they saw their headless body standing there and realized what had happened.

Seeing his men get killed with a single attack, the fat man began to move back slowly until he let go of the woman he was dragging and began to run away for his life. Drenched in fear and confusion, the fat man ended up falling on the ground but still tried to crawl away.

Once Mary and Jun arrived on the scene they quickly rushed to see the glowing Julius with blade in hand as he stood there aimlessly. That was when he turned his attention towards the fat man. Seeing as Mary couldn't allow William to die yet as he would need to face a trail, she stepped in the way and held Julius' hand as she tried to forcibly stop him.

"You've done enough! Stop it!" Mary yelled at Julius. However, not a single word got to him but seeing as she was trying to stop him, Julius' body perceived her as an enemy and forcibly made her let go of his hand before placing both palms on his glowing blade. Without wasting a moment, Julius brought his blade up towards the sky before swinging it in a downwards manner right to Mary. Seeing as Julius was trying to attack her, Mary moved away to the side before preparing to launch a minor attack just so Julius would pass out.

However, right before she could attack him, a large beam of light came out of the blade and began to go forwards in the direction at which Julius's blade when in. Mary was forced to watch as the beam of light cut everything in its way for over 200 metres with barely giving any time for anyone who was in its way. As for the buildings that were there, they were sliced clean.

...

"H-he did that?" Mary asked as fear began to set in. Even she didn't know if she could've survived that attack. Fortunately for her, another attack like that wouldn't be coming as Julius passed out completely and the blade in his hand began to disintegrate.

...

"So I guess it was him who also caused that bright light in the forest. But how...?" Jun asked himself as he helped both Mary and Julius to get back on his jade dragon and began to help them fly away.

As for William, he was finally able to crawl away from the dark district and then the two guards who were there closed the gate. The bodies of William's body guards were left to rot but the kids which Julius had mildly befriended began to search the body guards' pockets and found some gold coins inside which meant that their day was pretty lucky.

Lastly, the woman helped her husband which was apprehend with large ropes get out of them and then she helped him walk towards wherever their home was as his foot had been shot. While not the ideal way to get out, it was better than him having to be shot but also lose his wife.

...

When Julius finally woke up, he looked around to see where he was. Once again, he didn't remember what happened after he passed out and the white glow in his eyes took over but one thing was for sure, he needed to have a conversation with Mary.

"I see you're finally awake Julius," said Jun who was sitting beside him in the hospital like room if a hospital room was to exist in the medieval era with the technology of 1700s.

"Where's Mary?!" Julius demanded.

"She's in the room next door. She ended up receiving a beating herself so try to go easy on her," said Jun as he could see that Julius was angry at Maru for some reason.

"Go easy on her?! While she's able to recover from some minor injuries in a royal castle, some poor guy in that place has to deal with a gun wound with nothing to help him.. She wakes up every single day in her magnificent castle to rule over her people and enjoy anything and everything she could want while there are kids there who can't eat! Are you seriously saying that you approve of this?" Julius asked Jun with his face filled with anger.
