CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENJulius was forced to stop while Circe started to walk toward him with slow but steady steps.“I almost forgot about you.” Julius sighed softly even though he got no relief from it.“I underestimated you, mortal,” Circe said with a smirk on her face, she turned toward the maidens who were still grunting in pain, and scoffed at them before returning her gaze to Julius.At that moment, she became a bit wary of him and was cautious of not being attacked by him as she saw that he wielded more powers than she had imagined.“You may have been able to defeat my maidens, Diego.

At that moment, she became a bit wary of him and was cautious of not being attacked by him as she saw that he wielded more powers than she had imagined. “You may have been able to defeat my maidens, Diego. But I will be back for you when the time is right. Draevyn may have bestowed his powers on you, but that doesn’t mean that you will be as half as the conqueror he was.” “You may be right, Circe. But that doesn’t mean that I will give up. You can try as much as you want, but I will never go back to your island with you.” Julius stood on his unshaken resolve, looking at the Enchantress who chuck

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Circe turned to look at her maidens one after the other, and with a single motion of her hands, she instructed them to go after Julius. “Grab him since he likes it the violent way,” Circe commanded with a smirk on her face, and the maidens rushed toward Julius with signs that showed that they were waiting for that moment. “Okay, ladies, calm down. I am sure we can sort this out peacefully. No one needs to be violent.” Julius smiled at the maidens who were getting closer to him, but they refused to reciprocate as they glared at him, ready to make use of the weapons they wielded. Julius continued to move backward while Circe stood at a spot with her arms akimbo, looking at the maidens who increased the pace of the steps while they went after Julius. “This is really gonna be difficult,” Julius whispered only to his hearing while taking two several steps backward, wary of the two angry ladies in front of him. He looked at the weapons they had in their hands, and h

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE Julius descended the stairs and made his way toward the classroom block with so much anger boiling inside him. “That coward! He calls me a drug dealer and a drunkard! I should deal with them when the time is right, all of them!”“Relax, Diego. Do not forget what lies ahead of you. All of these are distractions that can set you back from your path.”“Vera? You are still here.”“Of course, Diego. I am always here with you until my time is over.” Vera responded at once while Julius walked into the classroom block and sauntered through the hallway that led to one of the laboratories in the building. “Well, I thought you had left me. You suddenly became silent and refused to give me an answer to the question I asked.” “Focus, Warlord. You still have the ancient book to find, you still have a lot to learn.” Vera caused Julius to go into a period of thinking while he continued walking slowly toward the laboratory. “How long is this supposed to take? How long am I sup

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Slowly, Julius walked toward the Dean who stood patiently waiting for him to get very close before he turned around and headed to his office with Julius following him behind. “Mr. Cassius? Is everything okay?”“Just come with me to my office, Me. Campbell. We need to have a word.” Graham said without turning to look at Julius while he climbed up the stairs that led to his office. He walked into the room as soon as he unlocked the door, headed to his desk, and sat down on his seat. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Campbell.” Graham gestured to Julius who refused to sit even after he had glanced at the seat. “Thank you, but I would prefer to stand.” Julius folded his arms while he waited to hear what the Dean was going to say. He already knew the reason why he summoned him, and had already thought of a suitable response to give to him. From the look on the Dean’s face, it was certain that he was a bit nervous to speak to Julius who wasn’t like the other average cadets

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Julius lifted his brows the moment he heard the words from Noah who slowly returned his gaze to him after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “A secret library?”“Yes. A secret library, Diego.” Noah nodded to affirm his words, and after shielding his mouth with his right hand, he continued. “I think it was built in the past, way before this Combat society became existent. The books there are so old but they contain so many secrets from the past and even predictions about the past. There are books on teleportation, time-traveling, space, reincarnation, and even magic.” Noah shook his head in excitement, staring at Julius who struggled not to express the frenzy that lingered in his mind, ready to let itself out. “Sometimes, I hear voices when I am inside the library, but no one ever shows up. I was thinking that it could be some of the cadets in this college, but no one seems to know anything about it. I am sure that the Combat society would have
