575: Meeting Janus
"That's not the only thing which will hurt. Just wait," Ryder said as he gripped the sword firmly in his hand while advancing towards Julien.
"I doubt you'll get the opportunity anymore," Julien said as he also attacked at the same time.
Unfortunately, before his sword could even clash with Ryder, a tree giant came out of nowhere, attacking, which smacked the face of Julien, who hadn't expected it.
Julien once again flew back, but he didn't release the Golden Sword this time. He kept holding it firmly.
Ryder chased after Julien, who had once again managed to stand on his feet, but unfortunately, he didn't get the time to prepare as Ryder's sword came slashing.
He blocked Ryder's attack, but as he hadn't managed to balance himself properly, he couldn't keep standing as he blocked the attack.
He was pushed back and forced on the ground, but that's also not where Ryder stopped as he changed the Sword to a long-handed Hammer with which he tried to smash Julien's chest.
Julien rolled to the side, dodging the attack, but Ryder didn't stop. He didn't give him the chance to stand up as he kept attacking with his hammer like the god of war.
As the attacks of Hammer kept coming nonstop, Ryder didn't stop. He kept attacking, not giving any chance.
"How does it feel down there?" Ryder asked Julien as he kept attacking as if he was mocking him.
"This guy, he isn't half bad. He knows that Julien is a tough enemy when he stands up. Good going."
Standing in the distance, Itsuki was watching Ryder fight Julien. Instead of joining in, he spent his time on observing the battle.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one who was observing the battle.
The hammer kept getting dodged until Julien reached the tree. He couldn't move another. And a hammer also came from above, intent on smacking Julien's head.
Tung!
The hammer finally got a hit as it wasn't dodged. But it didn't hit Julien. Instead, it hit the blade of Julien's sword, which he had used to keep himself safe.
It also happened to be the moment where a strange wave of energy suddenly came out of Julien's body which tossed Ryder back.
"There it comes. He's finally getting serious," Itsuki said, frowning as he saw what had happened.
Julien's skin was shining in a mysterious blue light as his eyes turned pitch black.
He stood up calmly, looking like a Demon.
In the distance, Ryder was stunned to see what it was. This guy? What had happened? How did he become like a Demon?
' Ah, Janus? What's happening? Did he become a Super Saiyan or something' Ryder asked Janus, frowning. What was happening? Everything was going normal. Why is he suddenly like this now?
"He has entered his Half God mode. His strength and defense have doubled. He can also use his godly powers now," Janus answered.
' What the heck? Was he less strong before that he had to be stronger? What the heck is happening? There was no mess like this with Aluren. Why can't Julien be a good boy and die peacefully like Aluren?' Ryder asked, frowning. He was feeling slightly upset.
"All god-sons can enter into their semi godly physique. The trial is to allow them to enter their full godly physique. Only the ones that pass in the trial can become true gods. They are all semi gods now," Janus answered.
