Synopsis
Julius is the second prince, born to the king's third princess consort and was granted the Hero title at a very young age. His mother died shortly after giving birth of his younger brother, Schlain.

During The War in Sariella, Julius fought on the side of Ohts and faced the supposed Divine Beast of Sariella, but was overwhelmed. Ultimately, the Demon King appeared and seemingly slew the beast, with Julius being saved from being caught in the attack by Ronandt transporting him to safety using teleportation magic. Later, when the beast's offspring attacked Keren County, Julius ignored orders to flee and engaged the horde. As a result of the events of that day, Julius developed arachnophobia.

After The War in Sariella, Julius became Ronandt's apprentice. However, his training methods proved too dangerous. During one session, Julius was at death's door after Ronandt attacked him using magic to build up his magical resistance, luckily Aurel managed to heal him. Since Julius is the hero and prince of the Analeit Kingdom, a formal complaint was made to the Renxandt Empire. As a result, Ronandt was demoted after Julius was taken back to the Analeit Kingdom.

One day, Schlain is informed by the Divine voice that he had inherited the Hero title. Since there can only be one Hero at a time, Schlain instantly knew that this meant that Julius had died. His death was later confirmed by Hyrince, revealing that he was killed by a mysterious white girl during The Great Human-Demon War.

Julius' death is detailed in Kumoko's point-of-view. When the Human-Demon War broke out, he defended a fort against the Seventh Demon Army. The Demon Commander, Bloe, challenged him to a one-versus-one duel, which the Hero accepted. Julius ended up easily overwhelming Bloe and even gave him multiple chances to surrender, which he stubornly refused. Ultimately, Julius killed Bloe and, believing he was their strongest fighter, demanded the remaining demons surrender. However, the white girl then stepped forward and Julius instantly recognized her as being the same Divine Beast he fought in The War in Sariella years prior. The girl then instantly killed Julius along with his entire party, except Hyrince, using a Rot attack.

To prevent civil unrest, the human nations kept Julius' death a secret until Schlein was ready to be publicly unveiled as the new Hero. However, this would never happen, as Hugo used his Lust skill to brainwash the higher-ups of the Word of God Religion and falsely declare himself the Hero instead.
