Part 80: Wizard king Julius Novachrono
In the streets of the royal capital, the citizens were looking towards the castle surprised. "The castle, is there someone fighting there," a man said a flashed of light appeared around the castle. Around the castle Julius flew around before firing balls of light at Licht. He dodged out of the way before firing light swords at Julius who dodged. The light swords hit the wall and sent rubble flying. Julius trapped pieces of the rubble in spheres before sending them flying at Licht who cut through them with a light sword.
Meanwhile the entire castle shook from the battle. "Sir over here," A mage said leading Marx to a window and he could see the battle.
"This power, its Julius and he's fighting someone," he thought looking worried as he watched Julius dodge his opponents attacks. "A mage who can keep up with the wizard king and who uses light magic, theres only person like that, the leader of the eye of the midnight sun, Licht," he thought looking surprised.
"But this doesn't make any sense, the royal knights are out on a mission to defeat him," he thought when more mages walked into the area.
"What's happening, who is the wizard king fighting, what should we do," some of them said sounding nervous. Marx clenched his fists before looking back with a serious look on his face.
"Everyone remain calm, this is one of those times where our metal will be tested and right now we need to remained focused," he said.
"Yes sir," they said giving the salute while Marx looked back outside the window.
"That's right, the most important thing I can do now is remain calm," Marx thought as his grimoire flew in front of him and opened. "If we were to join in the battle we would just be a distraction for Julius, the only ones who stand a chance against Licht would be the ones at captain level," he thought.
Then using his magic, an image of him appeared at all the magic knight headquarters. "This is a message to all magic knights, please listen," Marx said.
Over at the blue rose knight headquarters. "Hey Char," Sol said pointing at the image.
"A transmission," Charlotte said looking serious. "Whats happening Marx," she thought.
Over with Jak who was with Sekke. "It's a transmission," Sekke said looking confused.
At the headquarters of the crimson lions. Some of the members along with Leopold were in Feugoleon's room. "Whats going on," one of them said while Leopold looked serious.
"As of right now the wizard king is fighting someone believe to be the leader of the eye of the midnight sun Licht," Marx said making the knights look surprised.
"The battle is currently still going on and we might need assistance from the magic knight captains," he said. "All knights await orders from your captains and arrange your guards," he said. Then the transmission stopped.
"The wizard king is fighting," one of the knights said.
"What should we do, captain Mereoleona isn't here," one of them said while Leopold clenched his fist.
"This is the perfect chance to get payback for my brother," he thought. "But first," he thought before getting up and getting everyones attention. "Whats gotten into all of you, you call yourselves the crimson lions," he said.
"Remember what my brother always told you, remain calm and we can win," he said. "So lets get ready for battle," he said holding his fist in the air and making his squad members cheer.
"Theres a battle in the capital, what should we do our captain isn't here," members of the golden dawn said looking confused. Yami looked serious before quickly picking up his broom and flying out the window.
"I just hope I'm wrong," he thought as he quickly headed towards the capital.
As Julius battle with Licht continued their movements got faster. Licht had to dodge a beam of light that changed direction from Julius spheres. "His predictions are getting faster," he thought taking out a light whip.
"Your movements are getting reckless, its not that hard to see what you will do next," Julius said calmly.
"Ahh," Licht said angrily as the whip grew long and started destroying more of the building. Julius trapped more of the debris before the whip grabbed him. He was pushed along the wall before falling to the ground near Licht. Licht then looked surprised as he dodged an attack form Julius.
He fired more light swords and Julius trapped one in a sphere. "I believe this is yours," he said pushing his right arm forward. The sphere went forward before vanishing and leaving the light sword. Licht barely dodged as the sword almost cut his hair.
"He accelerated my own attack and sent it right back at me," Licht thought looking surprised as Julius landed on the tower in front of him.
"It would make things easier for me if you surrendered, I don't want any harm to come to Vangeances body," Julius said calmly.
"Hes not trying to kill me, he just wants me captured," Licht thought. "Hes been holding back, against me and my four leaf clover grimoire," he thought looking at Julius. "Why does a human have this much power and where is his girmoire," he thought.
"If your curious about my girmoire, then all you have to do is look up," Julius said pointing up.
Licht looked up surprised to see multiple large pages turning in the air. "What kind of girmoire is that, it doesn't even have a cover," he thought looking surprised. "Our mission will greatly change this world and this man is here to stop me," he thought.
"This girmoire and I are a lot a like, we don't exactly fall into any category," Julius said smiling as he thought of his past. "For a long time I wondered who I can be, until I realized the path I walked on was a part of me," he said.
Julius clenched his fist, "I am the wizard king and I will protect the people of this kingdom," he said.
"So you want to protect them," Licht said making Julius look surprised as he noticed Licht smiling. "Go ahead and try," he said flying into the air.
"Sealing magic, release," he said as multiple red circles appeared around him. They then vanished as a bright light shined around him.
"He had this much power," Julius thought looking surprised as multiple light swords started appearing.
"For taking away our dear friends, our loved ones all of you must pay," Licht said more light swords appeared. The light from the capital could be seen all the way from Hage and the village from where Marie is.
At Hage the children looked at the light confused. "What's happening to the capital," Nash said.
Sister Lily placed her hands on the children's shoulders. "Don't worry everything will be fine, after all we have the magic knights to protect us," she said smiling.
With Yami who was getting closer to the capital. He looked at the light with an annoyed look on his face. "Just what is going on Julius, I gotta hurry," he thought before flying faster.
In the capital, "Now, Light magic, light swords of Judgement," Licht said as the swords started falling to the people.
"No I cant let this happen," Julius thought. He thought of his past before he became the wizardry king, back when he was just a magic knight. There were people who used all their magic power to increase their wealth. They didn't care much for the commoners. Julius continued as a magic knight hoping he would get an answer on what he should do. Then he met a magic knight from the purple orcas. Zara, the first commoner to be made a magic knight.
Julius joined him in a battle and knew he didn't have enough magic. But his work with traps spells were great. When Julius offered to heal his injuries Zara said to focus on the people first.
"Saving people is magic knights duty after all," Zara had told him with a smile. Julius wasn't sure what a magic knight was, but he knew Zara was the real deal. But he later learned Zara had died. Julius then decided to be a magic knight just like him. But then he learned something that angered him. Zara was killed by his own squad mates and the others thought they shouldn't care just because of who he was.
Julius wondered why things were like this when both nobles and commoners can change. He realized if he wanted to change things he needed to get stronger, standing and trust. That's what lead to him becoming the wizard king. "It may be slow, but the people have begun to change," he thought. He thought back to the star festival and the royal knights selection exam.
"I cant let it end this way," Julius thought as his girmoire glowed. "Time reversal magic, chrono stasis," he said. A large blue clock appeared in the sky and the time on it stopped. The light swords heading to the people stopped making them look surprised. Then the hand on the clock turned and the swords began to vanish into pieces of light.
Yami reached the capital and flew towards headquarters. "You had just enough power to stop my light spell but for nothing else," Licht said. "You were so focused on protecting them that you couldn't dodge me," he said.
Yami reached the building and flew up the wall. He landed and looked surprised at the sight in front of him. "That's because your, the wizard king," Licht said smiling. He had stabbed Julius with a large light sword. Julius coughed up blood as the sword vanished.
"Being the wizard king, is your only weakness," Licht said as Julius fell to the ground. Licht then held the last two magic stones.
Yami looked at Williams mask before looking at Licht. He then grabbed the handle of his katana, "Just what is going on here," he said. Yami then took out his sword with Darkness coming off it, "Tell me Vangeance," he said angrily.
