Chapter 217 - Threat

Name:Hero Cultivation Author:AMonarch
Although Julius himself had given Spike a threat which meant that he planned on actually doing significant damage to him, Spike had no choice but to ignore Julius' warns as he didn't have a choice in the matter. Due to him still being under the control of Henry, Spike would have to forcibly walk into a situation where his death was guaranteed.

"I see, so you're not willing to back up huh? That's fine then, I'll just finish this battle off before it can go any further. Don't worry though, I'll be regenerating your body back to full health once this war has come to a close," said Julius as he began to slowly and seamlessly break multiple bones in Spike's body. One by one, Julius broke as many bones as he could find while moving around like a slithery snake.

After having nearly all his bones broken by Julius himself, Spike had no option but to sit down in a agony as he couldn't even cry due to him being under the complete control of Henry. 

Nevertheless, Julius turned his attention back to his real enemy, that being Henry. Due to this, Ian and Steven both stepped up to protect their new leader.

"So it's going to be you two now? How interesting-" Julius began to speak only for the both of them to charge right at him while Ian attempted to latch on to Julius' right leg and force him to fall on the ground while Steven went for Julius' head as he wanted to punch it so hard that it would explode instantly.

However Steven and Ian weren't dealing with an inexperienced fighter as their actual enemy was Julius who had undergone intense training in which he would be forced to memorize how to deal with any type of fighting technique. That also included how to deal with two opponents at the same time in which one would go for his legs and the other one would go his his head.

To deal with both Ian and Steven at the same time, Julius flipped his body upside down in which he used his legs to wrap around Steven's neck and place him in a choke hold while he wrapped his arms around Ian's neck while still being upside down. As such, placing his two enemies in a deadly position where they would be at his mercy. Due to Julius knowing that they were already his enemies and not having a care in the world no matter what he said, Julius allowed himself to let go of the feeling of pity which he had for them before as if he thought of them as comrades or foes, it wouldn't have changed the way they thought of him as they were basically living robots which did as they were told. Hence Julius' decision to place the both of the in their respective positions until both of them lost consciousness due to the absence of oxygen in their body.

After forcing the two of them to be knocked out by him, Julius once again got up from the ground to face Henry, not being challenged by Liam, Rosie as well as Steph. However seeing how much time he had already wasted fighting the others, Julius decided to opt for a faster and more efficient way of disposing of his enemies, that being to simply do as much damage to them as possible without caring if they died. 

Julius was beginning to lose any remorse due to his excessive use of his powers, no matter how many times he knocked his enemies down, more of them would just show up or take their place. Julius was starting to feel sick of having to go through the same process over and over again to the point that he was starting to think that maybe killing off a few of his comrades wouldn't have been that bad as it was a necessary sacrifice. If he didn't kill them, they would kill him instead which would be the worst outcome as Henry would just continue to control them like the tools he saw them as. As such, if Julius was going to exhaust himself to the point where he would be losing his sanity, he needed to at least guarantee the lives of some of his previous comrades. Even if it wasn't a lot of them, just a few would have been enough. Due to that

me mentality, Julius decided that he would no longer hold back against the 3 new enemies which stood in front of him. In fact, he wouldn't hold back against anyone in the room any longer.

"Forgive me," said Julius as a single tear left his eyes before his chest began to glow a mix of orange and red.

"Special trait: endless hellfire"

Using this special strait, Julius spit out an endless fountain of what could only be described as pure hell. It had both a mix of magma and the strongest fire the world had ever seen. Without even thinking for a moment, each of the 3 opponents which Julius was facing tried to dodge his attacks. However Julius would not sit there and watch as they tried to escape from his attack. He was no longer taking into account who he was facing. If they stood in his way, they were going to die.

Due to this, Julius picked up a large chunk of the magma which he has just spat out and moved so quickly towards Liam that no one in the room even saw Julius move until he was right in front of Liam. So that his opponent wouldn't be able to react, Julius quickly shoved the large pile of burning hell magma right into Liam's face where he would burn through his face then his skull before finally reaching Liam's brain. 

Due to the brain being the most sensitive part of the head of a human, Liam was instantly killed off. His mind was put in a state which it couldn't recover from. As such, his entire body could no longer function.. Hence that was the end of Liam and just the start of the hell awaiting Rosie and Steph.
