Chapter 160 - Don't Worry

"What the hell happened here?" The group of people which consisted of the kings and queens of the great kingdoms, the captains as well as the vice captains of the royal guards all asked at the same time as they stared at the saw the gate which was on death island was gone along with 11 monster heads being laid down on the ground.

The island had turned pitch black as if it was burned multiple times. In the distance was a single person which looked to be eating some sort of a red circular object which most members of the group assumed to be an apple. The man who was eating the apple looking object was sitting on top of a large bolder even though his cloths and skin were clearly burned and had many cuts on him.

After closer inspection, the had realized that the man who was eating the red object was Julius which was on the brink of passing out as blood kept flowing out of the cuts on his body with his weak eyes staring off into the distance as they didn't look at anything specific.

"Is that you Julius?! Why the hell are you were? Do you know how dangerous this place is? You could have died here. And what happened to the monster that was here? Why do you look like this? Tell me Julius, what happened?!" Henry began to ask all these questions before realizing that what Julius was eating was not an apple but a monster core.

"D-"

"Don't worry."

Those words were Julius' before he passed out from exhaustion as he couldn't keep it up anymore. However Julius didn't lose consciousness by falling off the Boulder that he was sitting on. No, Julius had changed. Julius passed out with his eyes open and without moving a single inch.

"What do you mean don't worry?!  Look at the shape you're in! Are you sure you're even alive? You look completely exhausted, that's not even the worst of it. You have so many cuts on your body that I can't even count them all! Why did you challenge the monster on this island?! You know that you can't defeat something as powerful as it-" Henry began to speak as he along with everyone there turned their heads to look at the 11 monster heads on the ground. One of those heads were that of the monster which they had come to get killed by. 

"No way… you don't think that-. I mean it's not even possible right? If the theory stays to be true that the monster we faced is only level 90 and level 91 to level 100 monster still existed, that would match up perfectly with the amount of monster heads on the ground. But there's no way he could do something like that right? It's just not possible," Wilson said as he began to get goosebumps from the sight in front of him. Not because he was happy that Julius took care of the enemy and they didn't have to die but because Julius was a greater monster than anything they'll ever see.

"Come on, we should be grateful that we don't have to die now. I mean I doubt any of you actually wanted to die here. I can sense the fear from all of you along with myself," said Henry as he saw his hands shaking from just looking at the decapitated heads of all the monsters.

"Let's just leave this place before some other monster comes out of nowhere," said Henry as he prepared to grab the passes out Julius and leave the island only to be stopped by a red dragon.

"A monster already?" Henry asked as he backed away and prepared to defend his son.

"Relax there Henry. I'm taking the kid back. I'm responsible for his safety now, you guys can get going on your own," said Jun as he got off the ruby dragon that belonged to Julius before carried the prince and placing him back on the ruby dragon and leaving without saying a word to any of the others.

"Red dragon?… That's the one which attacked me 3 years ago!" Sandra yelled out as she remembered the attack which took place at her kingdom by Julius who had come to steal Dae and Knight. Even now, none of them knew about the army which Julius had in the 10th continent.

"You just realized? That was the dragon which belongs to my son, Julius. I'm pretty sure I already told you that he was the one who attacked you. Even Wilson mentioned it to you after his battle with Julius a couple years ago," said Henry as they all began to head back towards the ship which they had just gotten off of before heading back to their own respective kingdoms with a sense of relief now that they didn't have to get killed but a sense of fear because the person who had saved them was stronger than they could ever imagine.

…

"Queen Mary, you don't seem so good. Is everything alright? Is there anything I could do for you?" one of the Mary's servants had asked her as he saw the concern on her face.

"Oh no, don't worry about it. It's nothing, it's just something that happened today. I feel very uneasy," said Mary as she began to think of some way to defeat Julius as she still wanted to get revenge by killing either Jun or Julius.

"Actually, there's something which I want. Could you call Hendrick here for me," Mary requested of the servant who was speaking to her.

"Of course, it'll only be a moment," said the servant before bringing her Hendrick. The guard which had been loyal to her and stayed at her side after the first time she had called him by his name instead of referring to him as just a random guard.

"Good evening my queen, how may I be of service to you today?" Hendrick asked her as he bowed out of respect for her while he closed the door behind him after he had entered her room.

"Come on, there's no need to speak to me so formally, just call me Mary," she replied with a kind smile.
