MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny
Chapter 57 Julius

At the location Carl and Nuriel are also not too good, they are attacked completely by mutants.

"Miss take cover behind me!"

The elder Kael fights using magic very well, each magic throwing mutants in all directions, while Carl although he is not strong enough but there is Nuriel who can replace him.

Behind his cute claws, Nuriel could decapitate mutants with a single swing, however he was still a black dragon.

"Huuf, I don't believe it will be very difficult against these beasts."

Elder Kael looked in all directions as the corpses of the beastmen began to cover the ground due to the relentless mutant attacks.

"If it's like this we'll lose after running out of stamina."

"Hold the elder, I will heal you."

Carl continued to heal Elder Kael whenever he was injured or exhausted, but it could not last long as the longer the time passed, then where the two would run out quickly.

"Huuf huuf, where I've run out."

Carl lowered his hand, although he was not hurt but could see that he was very tired from using too much mana.

"Here you go, just rest I still have enough strength."

However, Elder Kael was already filled with sweat.

"Kyuun!"

Nuriel continuously killed one by one the mutants with his claws, he was too young to use magic.

Yet one of the wolf mutants was able to reach it with claws, making it crash into the ground forcefully.

"Nuriel!"

Carl yells to make Elder Kael hurriedly cast wind magic to save Nuriel.

It left his back open, without having time to prepare another magic, a wolf mutant had already bitten his neck strongly.

"arghh!'

"Stay away from him!"

The desperate Carl hit the mutant head with his weak hand, at least it was enough to make the mutant slightly retreat from Elder Kael.

The remaining mutants began to surround Carl, none of them attacking as if they were playing tricks on him.

"Far away!"

Carl throws a stone at the mutants making them attack simultaneously.

Feet, hands, waist, neck, bite after bite kept tearing Carl's body apart. He did not even have the strength to scream.

His consciousness quickly disappeared in the darkness.

Aaahhhh I died in a very silly way.

"The rooooaaarrr!"

For a moment Carl saw a giant wolf mutant who wanted to eat him but he did not feel any pain.

I hope big brother's okay.

At least he could be thankful for dying after meeting Ryu.

...****************...

In the throne room, Ryu, Masaru, and Rosa stood before the king.

"Well, I didn't think you could get to this place."

We were able to reach this room after passing through countless troublesome guards, some of them as strong as Roderick's men.

However this king was really in a different dimension, the Aura he was emitting was on par with a demon lord, albeit in a different way.

Fortunately he was alone, it would be extremely dire if he had guards.

"I'm Julius, I just want to live happily as a king, but I didn't think any of you would launch an attack once it arrived."

"I am Masaru, one of the heroes called to stop you."

"I'm Ryu, and she's Rosa."

Since Roderick's death, Rosa has become more silent, partly it's my fault for killing a person close to her but I also have no regrets about doing so.

"Can't we settle this peacefully?"

I was so shocked to hear that, I never expected that a bloody sect would ask for peace.

I got some information that the sect we were fighting was the bloody sect, which worshipped the blood god by making the blood of living beings as an offering to obtain a very extraordinary power.

"Unfortunately not, so how about we end this now?"

Masaru has always been a decision-maker, it feels like he is a real hero compared to me.

"it's a pity then."

Julius stood up from his throne and blood floated around him to form a sword.

His air became much heavier when he stood up.

I prepared the defense in anticipation of the surprise attack.

"Carl please buff us both."

"Alright, I'll support from behind."

"Ryu, please take care of my back."

"Haha leave it to me."

We both attacked simultaneously.

Julius didn't move at all?

Ignoring Julius who was just idle in place, Masaru swung his sword at the speed of sound towards Julius' neck, but before the blade reached his neck, a blood shield held onto Masaru's sword.

Looking at his defense, I used dark magic on my sword, and aimed at Julius' heart from behind.

Different from my expectations, his blood shield was still able to withstand my sword which was usually capable of destroying any defenses.

"Hmmm you two are quite strong, especially for you Ryu."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Saying that, I once again swung the sword towards his neck but the blood shield continued to resist our attacks.

No matter how much we attack, his shield continues to hold our swords, not to mention that the speed of blood is very unreasonable.

"Both of you, back off!"

Following Rosa's instructions, we jump away before a Julius is showered with magic.

"Well, your magic impresses you too."

But Julius appeared without the slightest injury, can be seen if he was covered by a blood bubble.

"Tch, magic has no effect either."

"Msaru, any plans?"

"I don't know, we just have to beat him here."

That is, I see absolutely no loophole to win against this Julius, fortunately he is not an aggressive enemy.

"What's wrong? you guys done yet? then it's my turn."

Realizing what he wanted to do, I hurriedly ran towards Rosa, and sure enough before long a blood tentacle attacked towards her.

"Mazaru!"

Although this was a liquid object but it felt so heavy that I was pushed a few steps while holding it.

"Yeah!"

Masaru cut off the tentacles that attacked us, it retreated for a moment but in an instant regenerated again.

"There are 8 tentacles, although the strike force is weak but it is quite troublesome."

"It also broke my sword when it was cut."

Masaru showed his sword that looked like it was starting to rust just because it cut through the tentacles.

"It's getting more troublesome."

"heart!"

Rosa shouted from behind as all the tentacles attacked simultaneously towards us.

"The regeneration is too fast!"

It felt against so many tentacles because it recovered in a matter of seconds.

"Masaru, protect Rosa, I'll go after her main body!"

"All right."

I ignored all the tentacles and preferred to attack directly towards Julius who was still looking at me with about.

From the beginning he never used his sword so I don't know how strong the sword he had.

"The right choice, but don't get me wrong."

I charged towards Julius but instead of using a blood shield, this time he only used his sword to defend.

"Where was the blood shield before?"

"I don't need that to fight you."

"Or maybe you can't?"

"Hahahha, you have such observant eyes."

Julius continued to laugh as our swords clashed against each other, yet he did not move from his place.

"At least your attack power is not that strong either."

"really?"

I was a little surprised to see the slightly wrinkled look on Julius's face.

"Ughhh!"

Feeling the pain, I took a few steps back, without realizing that there was blood running down my cheek.

Whatisit? I couldn't see his attack at all.

"See?"

"Arkh!"

Without any sound, a scratch appeared on my arm and leg.

I really racked my brain just to understand what was going on, but nothing came to my mind.

"It seems a little bad."
