Chapter 47 - Too Dangerous

Just as Julius had said the villagers had began to spout out nonsense as they pushed on their beliefs to be truth.

"Hey, it's that kid that made those swords appear out of nowhere," said one of the villagers as they saw Julius walk out of the home which causes all of them to get frightened.

"Listen up! From now on, I am your king. Anything I say becomes law, in exchange for that, I will give you a life where you can enjoy living. More specifically, Liam here will provide you with that for the time being," said Julius as he brought Liam forward.

"He will bring life to this dead village and the surrounding areas as well. All I ask from you is to give him your held when he asks for it," Julius said which left all the villagers speechless as if they didn't believe him which wasn't new as what group of people would believe a mere child which told them that he was going to get rid of all their worries.

"Hey Liam, do you mind using a secret art called greenest grass? Don't ask where I learned about it from because you should already know by now," Julius told him which Liam replied to with a nod.

Liam who was a tall buff man with shining brown hair placed his palm on the exact spot where he was standing before activating his secret art.

<<Secret Art: Greenest Grass>>

Just as Spike and Rosie did in their respective villages, Liam also brought grass, trees and crops to the village which was responded by the villagers with a dumb founded face. Unlike the previous times which he asked a subject to preform the secret art, Julius didn't ask Liam to only keep the area which he gave life up to the village alone so Liam went beyond Julius' expectations and allowed life to bloom in a an area much larger then the village itself which caught Julius by surprise.

"I guess this continent will be filled with life before I know it," said Julius as he smiled from knowing that he was in dependable hands.

"You'll be able to take it from here," said Julius as he waved goodbye to Liam and began to head outside the village however he was once again stopped by the man which had stopped him and Jun when they tried to enter the village. Unlike the previous time though, he was alone instead of with his gang

…

"Uh.. thank you king…" the man began to speak before he stopped as he didn't know Julius' name.

"It's Julius, king Julius," Julius informed him.

"Thank you king Julius for you've done for our village. We will follow you until the day we die," the man said as bowed in front of a 14 year old.

"No problem, just help out Liam in his time of need. I need to get going now but how about we have a proper conversation when I get back one day?" Julius offered which the man nodded quickly in agreement to Julius' request.

"I will need your name if I am to find you again one day," Julius requested.

"My name is Karl, sir," he replied to Julius.

"Okay then Karl, I'll come back to fulfill my promise one day," said Julius as he ran off to get on the jade dragon which Jun was already on.

…

"Way to go your majesty, you've become such an important figure," Jun mocked Julius.

"Are you really jealous of a 14 year old kid? You're more pathetic than I thought," Julius replied to his master.

"Pathetic?! Okay then, we'll see who's pathetic when your training resumes after this mission is finally complete," said Jun as he prepared a sinister training regiment in his head to torment Julius with in the future.

As they continued to argue, Jun's jade dragon took flight as it headed North towards the second last village which they needed to go to.

"After we get to this village, there'll only be one left before we can returning to your training," said Jun.

"What will my training even consist of when this is all done," Julius asked as he didn't know what his teacher had planned for him.

"I'm not quite sure myself but I was thinking about some physical body building then going to kill monsters in the wild before going to the first dungeon which you'll probably find pretty difficult," Jun informers his student.

"Dungeon?…" Julius asked as he didn't know what his teacher meant by his words.

"Yes, a dungeon. It's an inclosed space where the only way to get out after you enter is to kill all the monsters inside it. It's almost always a near death experience but at the end of it, you'll gain tremendous amount of exp which can help you level up a couple times depending on how difficult it was," Jun explained.

"What kind of monsters are in the dungeons? Are they like the frogs and lizards I fought?" Julius asked.

"Well, there are a verity of dungeons which each have a different species of monsters. Of course there will be animal like monsters but the majority of them are humanoid beast which are capable of complex thought. If you manage to get strong enough, you might be able to even speak to some of them as the more difficult a dungeon is, the smarter the beasts inside it are," Jun explained.

"Have you ever been in a dungeon?" Julius asked.

"No I haven't. It's much too dangerous for someone like me who only cultivates through meditation. I could very easily succumb to the quick and agile movements of the monsters inside dungeons. However, you're different, you're a dual cultivator. You can do what I can do and also what I can't. You were truly favoured by the heavens," Jun told his student before looking back to see the mesmerized Julius as he heard about dungeons.. There wasn't even the slightest bit of fear in Julius' eyes, all there was in them was excitement and anticipation.
