Chapter 409 Struggles



The shadow immediately spread around, shooting at an incredible speed toward those preparing to attack Julius-Ozynk from various sides.

Adrien, Billy, Conrad, Aurdis, and Saeldir immediately leaped back when they saw it. The shadow was clearly not something good; they had to avoid it now.

However, the shadow moved so quickly that they didn't have time to dodge. And when the shadow drew closer to them, it grew upwards like hands of darkness reaching out to grab them.

Conrad unleashed his Magic, forming a silvery shield in front of his body to block the shadow. Aurdis and Saeldir did the same, but Billy and Adrien hadn't reached the level of control to create a Magic shield yet. So, they could only rely on their final attacks.

Adrien and Billy were not the kind to cower and tremble when faced with life-threatening dangers. Both of them were war veterans who had experienced many deadly situations.

So, what they did was flow their Magic into their fists and then strike at the shadows approaching them. There was a light in their fists, similar to the Magic light emitted by Conrad, Aurdis, and Saeldir. Instead of creating a neat and solid shield, they strengthened their fists.

Adrien and Billy let out simultaneous shouts and hit the shadows with all their might until they were pushed back as if they were solid objects. Their fists had a similar effect to Aurdis, Saeldir, and Conrad's light shields, which neutralized the shadows.

Julius-Ozynk growled as he watched this. None of his shadows had managed to hit their targets. He summoned the shadows to shroud his body.

Adrien and Billy exchanged glances; from their looks, they immediately knew what to do.

Adrien and Billy rushed toward Julius-Ozynk, then, using their enhanced bodies, delivered kicks and punches toward Julius-Ozynk.

"They're crazy!" Conrad commented when he saw Adrien and Billy charging directly at Julius-Ozynk. However, what happened next seemed to erase his earlier comment.

*BUAGH!*

Adrien's punch struck Julius-Ozynk's face, followed by Billy's powerful blow to his chest, pushing him backward.

"Their attacks worked!" Saeldir said.

"Let's help them. Don't waste this opportunity!" Aurdis said, then dashed towards Julius-Ozynk. Saeldir and Conrad followed right behind her.

Although their attacks connected, Adrien and Billy could see that their attacks had caused only minimal damage. The shadow had transformed into armor around Julius-Ozynk.

Julius-Ozynk immediately rose with a snarl on his face. The swirl of black and red in his eyes now appeared denser and spun faster. He stretched his hands out to the sides, and from the shadow beneath him, two entirely black creatures emerged. Not long after these creatures appeared, the shadow on their faces partially disappeared, revealing the faces of two soldiers who served as personal bodyguards alongside Adrien and Billy.

Seeing them, Adrien and Billy felt their chests tighten. It meant they had to fight them now.

The two creatures didn't wait for Adrien and Billy to finish their thoughts and charged. They attacked Adrien and Billy as if they were enemies, with so much hatred emanating from their eyes. But Adrien and Billy immediately understood that it came from the creatures possessing Julius.

However, this fact didn't change the fact that Adrien and Billy had to fight these two soldiers, and perhaps other soldiers from the personal bodyguard squad who had not yet appeared.

The two soldiers pushed Adrien and Billy back, away from Julius-Ozynk. Aurdis, Saeldir, and Conrad watched them with worried expressions.

"Don't worry about us! Focus on the creature!" Adrien said, almost like giving an order, as it was in his nature as a leader.

Aurdis, Saeldir, and Conrad hearing this, didn't think of anything else and turned back to face the threat ahead. They weren't worried about the two war veterans. The fact that they were the first to land blows on Julius-Ozynk proved how tough they were.

Aurdis created a dozen spears of light around her body and then hurled them towards Julius-Ozynk. The spears shot at high speed.

Meanwhile, Saeldir gathered silver-colored lightning in his hands. He then hurled the lightning towards Julius-Ozynk.

Unexpectedly, Julius-Ozynk, who had previously only put up a black-red shield as protection, now dashed to the side to evade their attacks. His speed was outstanding; he managed to avoid both the lightning and the spears of light.

The unusual occurrence left Aurdis, Saeldir, and Conrad shocked. But their shock didn't end there.

Julius-Ozynk dashed towards them from the debris and dust caused by their previous attacks. With that speed, he could reach them in an instant.

*CLANG!*

Julius-Ozynk swung a sword formed from the shadow towards Aurdis. However, Conrad was quick enough to get in front of her and put up his shield of light, saving Aurdis from immediate danger.

Saeldir's lightning shot out from behind Conrad's shield and struck Julius-Ozynk, causing him to let out a scream of pain. However, he showed no sign of retreating. In fact, Julius-Ozynk put up an even stronger resistance against the three of them, forcing them to exert significant effort in the battle.

They fought fiercely for several minutes, and destruction spread around, including the presidential palace. No one in the vicinity could escape this damage if they lived nearby. Fortunately, Aerchon had already moved everyone in the area to his pocket dimension.

After exchanging intense attacks, they finally withdrew from each other. The rumbling in the sky grew louder and more frequent, but no rain fell from above. This indicated that the clouds were not ordinary ones that would bring rain but were created from a gathering of Chaos Magic.

Aerchon realized this and looked up. "This is not good," his expression showed concern as he gazed at the dark, swirling clouds. Aerchon knew they had to quickly end the battle with the creatures of the Chaos Realm before he did something else.

Meanwhile, Aurdis, Saeldir, and Conrad were standing side by side, panting heavily. With their powers suppressed in this other world, Aurdis and Saeldir had to exert even more effort to face Julius-Ozynk. However, they could also see that the creatures were struggling.

'This could be a good sign. We just need to push him a little harder,' Aurdis thought to herself.
