NOVEL NEXT Father vs Son
As Julian's command echoed through the atmosphere, the phenomena that had gripped the world in chaos began to subside. The fierce lightning and deafening thunder retreating as if they had never existed.
Across the kingdoms, people emerged from their homes as they gazed skyward in astonishment as the once turbulent skies transformed into a calm and blue expanse which was free of the ominous threat that had loomed just moments before.
The air that was once charged with fear and uncertainty now felt light and peaceful leaving the world in a state of awe and wonder at the incredible display of control he had demonstrated.
As Julian gracefully descended back to the ground, the awe-struck assembly of family and nobles surrounded him with their expressions a mix of disbelief and admiration. Augustus voice rang out that was filled with concern and curiosity,
"What was that, Julian?" With a casual smile, Julian replied, "Oh, it's nothing Grandfather. I just had a breakthrough."
The lightness in his tone was completely different with the monumental event they had just witnessed leaving those present both relieved and fascinated eager to learn more about the true extent of his newfound powers and what it meant for their family and kingdom.
Regina's eyes widened in disbelief as she processed Julian's words, her voice was trembling with both pride and concern.
"What breakthrough have you reached, Grand Mage Realm?" she asked hoping for a less daunting answer.
Julian chuckled softly and shook his head as he replied, "No, I reached the Supreme Realm, Mother."
The shock reverberated through the room and Gregoria gasped, her voice rising in surprise. "What? Supreme Realm? But that was something not even a Grand Mage could achieve"
The weight of his revelation hung in the air with each member of the family struggling to comprehend the magnitude of Julian's accomplishment realizing that their young heir had surpassed expectations and ventured into a realm few had ever touched which ignited a mix of fear, admiration and curiosity about the power he now wielded.
Julian's body shimmered momentarily and the powerful aura surrounding him began to dissipate. As his white hair returned to its usual blonde and the lightning-infused armor faded away as he stood tall now wearing his finely tailored noble outfit.
The familiar sight of him in his distinguished attire brought a sense of normalcy back to the room though everyone present still felt the lingering weight of his newfound power. Julian glanced at his family with a calm smile as if he had simply returned from a casual stroll rather than a monumental breakthrough.
Alden narrowed his eyes with curiosity and a bit of amusement. "What is your true power Julian?" he asked, his tone serious yet intrigued.
Julian chuckled, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Would you like to test it Father?" he teased, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
Without waiting for an answer Julian gestured toward the battlefield. "Let's settle it out there," he added, already turning to make his way outside leaving his father no choice but to follow him.
Everyone in the Easvil family, from Augustus to Regina followed Alden and Julian as they headed toward the training grounds. The air was thick with anticipation as Alden prepared to face his son who had just revealed an unprecedented breakthrough into the Supreme Realm.
Julian's sisters, Eva and Eleanor exchanged curious glances, wondering just how much their younger brother had grown in power. As they arrived at the vast and open field Alden stretched his muscles, a determined look in his eyes while Julian stood calmly as his confidence radiated through the calm crackle of lightning that occasionally sparked around him.
Alden and Julian stood firm as their eyes locked in a silent challenge each sizing up the other's strength. Alden's greenish aura infused with the power of the wind began to swirl around him crackling with intensity while Julian's whitish aura laced with lightning, buzzed like a live wire.
The tension in the air was palpable as the father and son were about to clash in a battle of raw power.
Alden smirked teasing, "Do you think you can win against your father, boy?"
Julian's grin widened. "Why don't we see?" he replied, the crackle of lightning amplifying his word as the earth beneath them began to tremble with the force of their gathering energies.
Alden swiftly swept his arm, sending a sharp arc of wind slicing through the air toward Julian. In response Julian quickly called out "Electric Shield"
A glowing barrier of electricity enveloped him just as the wind struck. The shield crackled under the pressure before shattering into sparks forcing Julian to dodge the remnants of the attack with lightning speed.
Alden chuckled with his voice full of pride and challenge. "Haha is that all you got my son?" he taunted, his eyes gleaming with the thrill of battle.
Julian, unfazed, smirked and replied, "Not even close Father. Let's see how you handle the real thing."
Julian called out "Black Doom!"
In an instant, a bolt of black lightning shot through the air with incredible speed striking Alden before he could fully react. The dark lightning crackled and surged around him as its devastating energy made him stumble back in surprise.
Alden's eyes widened as he struggled to process the sudden and overwhelming power of the attack. He hadn't expected such ferocity from his son and for the first time he realized just how much Julian had grown.
"Impressive," Alden said with his expression a mix of shock and admiration.
"Wind of Nature", Alden shouted and a storm that was small in size formed in the battlefield.
Julian's eyes narrowed as the storm rapidly grew swirling with immense power as it barreled toward him. Alden's Wind of Nature was no ordinary spell it was infused with the force of nature itself and Julian could feel its overwhelming presence.
Without wasting a second, Julian raised his hand and shouted, "Heavenly Thunder"
A massive thunderstorm formed above him, dark clouds gathering in an instant as lightning crackled across the sky. Bolts of lightning began striking down meeting the approaching storm headon. The clash between the storm and Julian's thunder was fierce as the winds roared and lightning flashed. Julian knew he had to outlast Alden's storm or risk being overwhelmed.
