The return of the Apostle God of Death
Deep pain
After the celebration party. The next morning Julian returned to training, but this time he tried to strengthen his apostle's strength. Julian went back to the mountains to be alone and practiced his apostle powers. Julian went to practice for a few months, when he met the god again and trained under his direction. One day the god told me.
“you know, you are my second apostle, my first apostle has died from overusing his powers.”
Julian asked too
“and who is that guy?”
The god of death answered
“Lucifer, the fallen angel.”
The surprised Julian instantly stopped his training and asked again
“apa?Lucifer? you mean the lucifer who in legend once came to earth and exterminated almost half the inhabitants of the earth?”
The god answered back
“iya, it's real, he did it because of his hatred towards the god of life, he said, when he was still an angel of the god of life he questioned the actions of the god of life who just silently watched humans kill and destroy each other's race and did not give any clue what to them. Lucifer who was getting sick of trying to rebel but he lost and entered the eternal prison Arkor Aylum. I who was observing the incident also took the opportunity to make Lucifer my subordinate. I offered him the power to be my apostle, and he went straight to earth and destroyed everything to lure the god of life to move and finally he moved and was able to seal Lucifer forever, all that remains of Lucifer is now just his relic item.”
Julian also now has a new purpose in addition to gathering colleagues, he also intends to collect items left by Lucifer to strengthen himself. Julian's training finally ended when he returned to his 17th year, when he came home and his family prepared a surprise party for him and invited people close to him to participate in the party. Of course there was Clarissa, they both talked in the balcony. And finally Julian made a decision.
“Clarissa, I may not be rich, nor do I have my own peerage, all I can offer you is myself, my feelings and my time. But I promise to protect you with everything I have even my own life, will you be my fiance? And be my wife in the future?”
Clarissa who was shocked shed tears, then she said
“I may not be perfect, but I love you Julian, yes I want”
Clarissa hugged Julian, without them knowing it turned out that everyone at the party was watching them and immediately congratulated them. The next day Julian's father spoke to him and planned to hold the inauguration of their fiancee. Finally the inauguration of the fiancee was to be held on the 30th of the month of Ryuin, exactly 8 days away from Julian's birthday. After that Julian was busy with the preparation of his fiancee, he also invited Clarissa to find the best tailor to make her a dress for the event later. After that Julian re-trained his troops, this time he planned to do sparing in the front line division. Julian promised the position of division captain to one who could win duels 10 times in a row, the rule was 2 people would advance and duel, the rule was that, the loser will retreat and the winner will continue against the next person, everyone has the same chance but for those who have lost 3 times are eliminated, everyone has the same chance, the duel will stop if the enemy surrenders or is unable to fight again, and Julian will be the referee. Then the duel began so fierce that it attracted the attention of count Lucian knights, who were amazed by the Julian army's swordmanship taught with Julian's own teachings. There are 3 strong candidates, a clawed man named Rudolf, a paladin named Vanxer, and an adventurer named Jake. And at the end of the duel, jake was the winner and captained the front line division. The engagement day arrived. Julian spread his army to secure the day. Many people came especially the third prince of the empire that Julian hated.
“julian, clarissa, congratulations on your engagement, I hope it will last until you are old, and for you julian, I wait for presence during the war against the kingdom of damascus later.”
“thank you noble”
Clarissa whispered
“sayang, why don't you answer the third prince?”
Julian answered
“I hate it, I'll tell you later after this show is done.”
The show is over and Clarissa comes to Julian's room at Julian's request, then Julian tells the reason why he hates the third prince, Julian indirectly tells about his past life. Clarissa was silent to Julian's story and worried about Julian's mentality. Eventually, Julian Clarissa decided to move to Julian's mansion and asked his parents and Julian's permission. It was approved and Clarissa moved 2 days later. After that came a letter asking for the count lucian to send his troops to war defense against the kingdom of damascus which is trying to make an invasion. Julian's father asked Julian and his troops to go there, when Julian's father was talking to Julian suddenly he collapsed. Julian who panicked immediately brought his doctor to be examined, and it turns out that the count lucian suffered from a rare disease that has been acute and until now the cure is difficult to find even heal magic only alleviates his pain. Julian would try every way to cure his father, his father said
“hahaha thanks son, maybe this is also my age factor, I hope I can see my grandson later hahahahaha”
The next day Julian left for the battlefield, before Clarissa came to Julian on her horse and said.
“I don't want you to get hurt, come back safe and nothing less, I look forward to your return”
clarissa kissed Julian and made the whole army cheer about it. Julian immediately ordered his troops to go forward. Arriving at the battlefield Julian's forces are assigned to take over the southern mountain region. Without a long delay Julian immediately used his tactic of attacking at night but only he was alone and tried to lure the enemy troops out of his camp, as they exit Julian's army will prepare to kill him one by one with camouflage magic developed damian and his magician army. Julian's attack was so effective that the enemy was lured to attack the mountain completely and leave the troops in the main camp, with the lure of some of the Damascus troops to the mountain then the troops in the main camp do not have reinforcements for a while. The war went on for almost 3 weeks, and finally Julian's troops were allowed to go home without any casualties on Julian's side. But as Julian was preparing to return home he got a letter saying that Julian's father's condition was becoming more critical. Julian spoke to Reinald and left in a hurry. Arriving at the dimension still using the blood-filled armor Julian ran into his father's room and was beside him.
“dad, why is it getting worse? I just found out what it takes to heal you.”
His father replied in a soft voice
“no julian, maybe it's time, I tipped your mother and sister yes, also take care of clarissa, hah my dream of seeing my granddaughter seems to be difficult hahahaha”
Julian's father died, Julian yelled "no" so loud that the glass broke. He was devastated by the passing of his father.
