Lucious-"Julius? I thought Adam and Elise were taking care of you"
Julius-"I managed to give them the slip"
Lucious(in his head)-"Even with evolved skills they weren't able to remove him. I was right to be concerned over this glowing dot"
The water hydra head created from Lucious's spell that Julius destroyed reforms. It moves back to the other heads.
Voice-"This seems to be Lucious's evolved skill. It creates water that is highly pressurized"
Julius(in his head)-"Kind of like a pressure washer then, although I imagine it will be a lot stronger"
Voice-"From a quick analysis I have determined that his water has an average pressure of 500,000 psi"
Julius(in his head)-"500,000!? The mariana's trench only has a psi of over 15,000"
Voice-"15,750 to be exact"
Julius(in his head)-"To crush solid steel would take a pressure of only 50,000 psi. Would I be fine if caught up in that water?"
Voice-"Being an atom you wouldn't die but you would become immobile. However, Lucious has dark magic so he likely possesses a way to destroy your soul"
Julius(in his head)-"That sounds much worse than death. I'll be sure to avoid that"
Lucious-"You made a horrible mistake challenging me. You had the opportunity to run away from here and save yourself. You're clearly intelligent, yet you're also clearly an idiot"
Julius-"You're being a villain in a magical world filled with powerful heroes. You're the idiot here, you had to know it would end badly for you eventually"
Lucious-"This isn't some fairy tail. You don't seem to understand how the world works"
The amount of water around Lucious increases and begins swirling around him.
Lucious-"Now allow me to educate you. Evolved skill: trench soldiers"
Lucious creates ten water golems in the shape of fish based knights wielding spears.
Lucious-"Now! Attack!"
Lucious's trench knights point their spears toward Julius. The spears morph and start shooting out streams of high pressure water.
Julius-"Special skill: particle accelerator"
Julius accelerates to light speed and begins dodging the water jets. The pressurized water zooms past him hitting the trees and blasting holes through them.
Julius-"Your attacks are pretty slow"
Voice-"It seems that Lucious's evolved skill prioritized power over speed unlike Adam's and Elise's"
Julius(in his head)-"Well considering that Adam was able to make that huge ravine, I wonder how much damage Lucious's evolved skill can do"
Lucious-"Fast and small, like fighting a magical gnat. Alright then, evolved skill: abyssal trench"
Lucious creates a large amount of water than begins to blanket the area as a dome.
Julius(in his head)-"It's like he just put a giant bowl over top of us"
Voice-"You could have escaped"
Julius(in his head)-"I couldn't leave Marigold behind. Besides, it wasn't a dark magic attack so I'll be fine"
Suddenly the air around them becomes incredibly dense. Marigold falls to the ground and the trees around get crushed into splinters.
Julius(in his head)-"The air pressure just increased"
Voice-"It seems to have increased to a psi of 100,000. Much higher than the usual 14.7"
Julius(in his head)-"Wait Marigold! I have to get her out of this"
Marigold-"I can hardly move, it's like my body is made of stone"
Voice-"Due to her being an aquatic type beast folk she is naturally resistant to high pressures like this. The more pressing issue is that the high pressure will drastically reduce your speed"
Lucious-"Evading me now won't be as easy as before. Dark skill: mental toxins"
Lucious creates black goo out of his hands. The goo flies towards Julius. Julius is still able to dodge out of the way.
Lucious(in his head)-"Seems he is still able to evade. However, he's definitely much slower than before"
Julius(in his head)-"How slow am I?"
Voice-"With particle accelerator you are moving at about 0.1% the speed of light"
Lucious-"You won't be able to evade this one no matter how fast you are. Dark skill: mental plague"
Lucious creates a dark mass that begins flowing around him growing larger.
Lucious(in his head)-"It's a shame I wasn't able to take control of somebody like him. Even if he ate the chocolate, it seems he has some sort of mental defense. Throughout this whole battle I've been unable to read his mind"
Julius(in his head)-"So what happens if that stuff touches me"
Voice-"It will shut down your consciousness and then erase your soul along with it"
Julius(in his head)-"Well... How do I stop it from doing that!?"
Voice-"Marigold's holy magic can counter it. Help her get on her feet and she'll be able to dispel it. Of course you could also destroy the whole dome with an atomic explosion but that would kill Marigold"
Julius(in his head)-"I'll go with the first option"
Julius flies over to Marigold who is struggling to move.
Marigold(grunting)-"I have to, stop him"
Julius-"Stat boosts skills: strength and durability boost"
Julius boosts Marigold to allow her to move slightly easier.
Julius-"Air skill: vacuum chamber"
Julius uses his vacuum skill on the area around Marigold to decrease the pressure.
Julius-"Listen Marigold I need you to-"
Marigold-"Holy skill: holy water purification"
Marigold creates a splash of holy water to block the incoming dark mass. The splash circles around Marigold and Julius creating a yellow glowing dome within Julius's vacuum chamber.
Lucious's attack flows around the small barrier filling up the inside of the large pressure barrier.
Marigold-"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have been dragged into this"
Julius-"It's alright, are you able to purify the entire attack?"
Marigold-"I can't with all of the pressure around"
Julius-"I can only remove the pressure of a small area"
Marigold-"If I evolve your skill, you may be able to stop him"
Julius-"I thought you weren't able to evolve my skill?"
Marigold-"That was because Lucious told me to say that! I need to do it right now!"
Julius-"Alright, start the process"
Julius floats in front of Marigold.
Marigold-"Holy skill: evolution"
Julius starts glowing yellow instead of blue. Lucious begins walking towards the yellow dome.
Lucious-"There are things I don't understand about you. However, none of those things matter now"
Lucious stops in front of the barrier. He hold his hand out in front of him to cast a spell.
Lucious-"There is no dodging it this time. Dark skill-"
Suddenly the yellow dome explodes and a wave of energy travels throughout the dark pressure dome. Lucious is sent flying back and lands on his feet.
Julius-"You're going to regret what you've done Lucious. Evolved skill-"
