Chapter 65 - Figure

As Julius along with Jessica and Emily continued to walk towards Jun and Stacy, Jun began to wave towards the others so that they knew that hun and Stacy were there.

After reuniting, Stacy along with her friends said goodbye to Jun and Julius before leaving in the direction which Julius had come from.

…

"How much information have you gathered on this world?" Julius asked his master.

"It was as we thought, this species of humans bid indeed very weak when it comes to strength. Even you could take on every single person they have in hand to hand combat at the same time and still win. However, I have made a new discovery. They have weapons which can cause enough damage to completely wipe at least 1/4 of a whole great kingdom. And it's not like there area only one of them. There are thousands of them and if unleashed at us, we could get wiped from this planet. They are far more advanced than we are. While we had just recently been introduced to gun machinery, apparently they've had them available for over 400 years. In a war where both sides had equal preparation time, we would get completely annihilated," Jun said which broke Julius' heart but also brought fear into it. Even the great kings and queen could stand no chance against the technology which this civilization of humans had. In exchange for sacrificing cultivation, they were able to come up with things which were much more powerful than any of the kings or queens of the great kingdoms.

"So how do my 5 subjects stand up against these weapons which you speak of?" Julius asked as in trying to compare the actual strongest creatures from his world to what the new world had to offer.

"I'm sorry Julius but even they might not be able to survive. However we still have one hope. That hope being you. For now we're safe but if you wish to one day take control or become allies with this other world, you'll have to go to the library of the limitless and take every scroll that they have to offer then absorb them," Jun informed Julius.

While to others it might have looked like the two of them were fooling around, they had actually been researching the new world. Having Stacy, Jessica and Emily as their personal guides made their journey much easier and within one day, they were able to gain as much information about the world as they would have gotten in a month if they had tried to do it on their own.

"Jun are you sure that even with the library of the limitless that I'll be able to stand a chance against the weapons that these people have?" Julius asked as the two of them began to walk towards a nearby hotel which he had found out about while going on his date with Stacy.

"To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that even with all the scrolls that you would be able to survive, even so, many people will die in the process," Jun replied to his student.

"Then so be it," Julius grit his teeth as he watched Jun give the cashier at the hotel the money she asked for. Of course she was baffled by the amount of money Jun had I the suitcase but nevertheless, she handed him his room key.

Once inside the room, Jun dropped his suitcase on the ground and collapsed on his bed since there were two beds in the room, one for him and one for Julius.

"Julius, about what you said earlier. What did you mean by 'so be it'?" Jun asked. When Julius had said those words, he was talking about confronting his magical powers since he knew that he had them. Even when the glowing figure took over, Julius knew that it used a magical spell which conformed that he had magic. Julius still didn't want to rely on magic as it was forbidden for a reason and yet it was the only way that he could match the strength of the new world. As such he said those words to himself but accidentally said them out loud.

Of course he was not going to tell Jun that he had magic as even if he was his master or friend. Julius would be executed if he indeed had magic.

"I meant that I was going to train like I have never done before. Speaking about that, you forgot to chance the weight of my suit so first thing in the morning, make my suit heavier," said Julius as he himself collapsed on his bed before going to sleep so he could cultivate in his sleep.

However unlike the previous nights which Julius went to sleep, something different happened. Although the continues to cultivate in his sleep, he was no longer in the calm sea but instead back at the empty dark space where his white glowing figure somehow always was.

"So you're finally ready to accept my powers? You wish to gain magic and all the heaven-tier scrolls right?" the white figure spoke to Julius for the first time which was shocking to Julius but he still answered.

"If you're the one who has that magic, yes I would like to have it," Julius replied.

"No! You're far too weak to be given magic. I cannot pass on such a valuable thing onto a creature which I do not deep worthy," said the white figure.

"So what is it that you're saying? Are you telling me that you're going to continue using my body as you wish and still not going to obey me? You've got a lot of nerve, you realize that I could tell people that I have magic and I would be killed along with you, right? And don't even try to make up some lie because I know that to pass you to another user, it must be done through a magical potion or pill," Julius said as he grinned from outsmarting the white figure.

"You do make a good point but there are a couple flaws with that," the white figure replied to Julius in a disappointed tone.
