Chapter 196 - As

As the old man continued to move around, Julius began to finally piece things together as he finally made a sudden realization. This exact event had taken place during his life. More specifically when he was nothing but a mere child. It was actually the first memory that Julius had in his entire life. That being for good reason too as something horrifying took place during that day.

In the moment which Julius had realized that he was experiencing his first memory once again, the old man finally committed the act which caused Julius to be scarred for life. That being to end his life and cause Julius' brain to force him to pass out. During that time, Julius was much to young to witness a murder of someone, let alone a suicide. Seeing that take place right in front of his eyes left a permanent print inside Julius' head.

Although Julius had gotten used to the concept of death as well as murder, for some reason, no matter how much he tried, he could never forget that day. Julius' trembled in fear any second he remembered that event. For someone that killed without a second thought, as if it was second nature, the one thing which Julius could never get over was that old man's death.

There was just something menacing about that even at the age where Julius was at and what he had witness, that event alone would be the most terrifying one of all.

Right as the old man inside Julius' dream to his own life, Julius began to panic. Although he had witness endless murder, mostly by his own hand, Julius couldn't help but feel sick as he tried to hold back the urge to puke. Tears began to flow out of Julius' eyes like water. Before long, Julius' eyes lost their colour and turned completely white as Julius once again passed out due to that horrifying event.

However with that happening, Julius was not sent back the real world so he could face his own mental breakdown that was caused by the betrayal of so many people. Instead, Julius remained in an unconscious state where he would make a revelation which would get him one step closer to unlocking his full power.

…

In the outside world though, Steven was busy rushing towards Henry as he prepared to end the king's life with a single blow. Although Jun, Mary, Vivian, as well as Roger were all concerned, Henry himself looked awfully calm as if he knew exactly what he needed to do to get out of that situation but also to completely and utterly defeat Steven so that he would never even think about attacking Henry ever again.

<<Secret Art: Henry's Judgment>>

<<Friends Become Foes>>

"No way…" Ian said in a terrified tone as he could believe what was happening. The only other time where he saw a heaven tier secret art being used was by Julius himself which he thought was an insane accomplishment. That was one of the reasons which he was glad to have been working for him. However seeing that Henry can use such a powerful secret art as well, Ian was at a loss for words as all he could do was tremble in fear as something like that truly had insane capabilities.

"STEVEN MAKE A RUN FOR IT! THIS ISN'T ON OUR LEVEL!" Ian began to yell out to Steven however it was far too late as Henry let out a final grin which announced that he was victorious.

A ray of dark light began to envelop the entire castle as everything inside it that was presumed to be an enemy of Henry began to get corrupted by it. Just a moment later the dark light disappeared only to reveal the people who were consumed by it had been on the ground. They were completely unconscious.

"Wait for it," Henry said before snapping and at that exact moment, all of the elite members of Julius' attack squad stood up quickly like they were robots. Although they physically didn't look different, mentally, they were completely different creatures. They could no longer even be considered human as they were living robots for Henry.

"Shall we kill him?" said Spike to Henry as he pointed towards the unconscious body of Julius who was still in the dreaming world.

"There's no need for that. I would actually like it if he were awake when I kill him. I want him to suffer quite a bit for making me go through all of this hell. Although I still don't want to resort to killing him just yet. I would prefer it if he simply agreed to join my side. I mean I'm his father, why is he being so stubborn. Although I shouldn't let personal feelings in matters such as these. If he doesn't cooperate, I'll have no choice but to kill him myself as I shall suffer that burden," Henry said with both a happy and regretful tone as he never wanted things to come to this. Henry believed that if Julius hadn't been born so talented, he wouldn't have had the confidence to process the idea of even betraying his father, let alone actually going through with the plan and getting pretty close to accomplishing it.

"So I'm back here again," said Julius as he remembered the place he was now transported to. That being the realm in which he and the white figure, Duke-Drake spoke multiple times. They also had their battle will all the scrolls from the library of the limitless there was well. It was a special place for Julius as it was the only place where he could truly find peace.

"I'm guess you have something to do with this, don't you Duke-Drake?" Julius asked with a sigh as he expected another revelation to take place once again. It was always when Julius was in time of need that his powers which he received from that pill that old man had given him when he was a child activated to protect him and help him defeat his enemy.

"Since you already know why you're here, I guess I won't waste your time," said Duke-Drake as he prepared to inform Julius about something that was quite important.
