Guardian Of The End

"Jason, is there something that you might want to explain right now?" Risa asked with narrowed eyes.

She was currently looking at May who was sleeping in Jason's arms.

"I will explain it once we get to a more private place."

"You definitely have a lot of things to explain then." Risa muttered before creating a teleportation formation.

She had appeared to pick up Jason five minutes ago, that too after roaming around the forest for a few minutes.

Though neither of them had trust in her abilities, teleportation was the best thing they could do to get away from the forest.

"Touch my arm," Risa said. "I will bind you with some of my mana to make sure we don't separate."

"If we could do this, why didn't we do this in the past?" Jason asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Its because there is a chance that you might end up hundreds of kilometers away from me. At least I will have an idea about your location this way."

"…"

Before Jason could protest, the teleportation circle activated and teleported both of them away.

When they landed on solid ground again, Jason was happy to see that he had appeared right beside Risa.

"Hmm, we didn't appear that far away from Duphia. It should be at a ten minutes running distance, less if we use other skills to increase our speed." Risa muttered after taking a look at their surroundings.

"Grandma, do you have a skill that makes you extremely fast?" Jason questioned with a curious look.

"Yes, I do have many such skills but there is one that makes me quite fast." Risa grinned. "Maybe we can race back to Duphia. This will show you how fast I can be."

"All right. I will use maximum amount of thunder as well… Wait, I have a kid with me." Jason muttered when he looked down at May.

[ Don't worry, I have a high resistance against lightning, thunder, fire and ice. Its a hereditary thing I received from my father. You can go at an extremely fast speed and I won't be affected by it. ] May reassured him.

Jason asked her a few more questions but once he was satisfied, he looked at Risa and gave her the confirmation.

Risa raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. She knew that Jason would tell her the entire story once they had reached their home.

'Issac must be home as well. Hopefully, he didn't use too much of his powers or else Julian will know that we were moving through the kingdom to meet Jason…' Risa sighed mentally before looking at Jason.

He had called upon the power of thunder and let the white thunder wrap around his body. His hair stood up in spikes, making him look similar to a Super Yaiyan.

"See you at the door." Risa said with a teasing voice before vanishing from her spot.

Jason blinked in confusion but no matter what he did, he could no longer see Risa. Shaking his head, he launched himself forward and dashed through the trees.

Simultaneously, he activated his mana vision to try find Risa. All he managed to see were particles of her mana left behind once she had vanished.

'System, did you capture what she just did. Also, can May hear me when I am talking to you or Hestia like this?'

[ No, she can't hear us. Also, I can't even tell what she did, much less record it. You are on your own for now. ]

'Sometimes you are quite useless.' Jason sighed mentally.

A minute later, he was standing at the door of his house. It was quite surprising how you could cover this much distance in such a short amount of time.

[ You would have been able to travel this distance in a much shorter amount of time if you wanted. You just have to improve your control and try to get a bit more faster. ]

'I know. Thunder is quite quick.'

The door suddenly opened up to reveal Risa standing there on the other side. Judging from the piece of chocolate cake she was holding in her right hand, she had reached the house much earlier.

"How much time did it take you to come here?" Jason asked with narrowed eyes.

"A second I guess. I was traveling at the speed of light so it was quite hard to tell." Risa replied with a shrug.

Jason took a deep breath as he tried to process this. "How come you and grandpa are so overpowered and you still listen to Julian?"

"About that…" Risa's expression darkened. "There are certain beings that you can't fight no matter what. You will learn this one day or the other so its better if you prepare yourself for such a day to come."

"What I want to learn now is the teleportation magic. Though I can travel at quite a fast speed, teleportation magic is much quicker and efficient." Jason muttered before entering the room.

A smile appeared on Risa's lips when she heard his words. "Its going to be quite complicated but I will teach you soon. First, we need to talk things out."

Jason looked down at May and was relieved to see that she had told him the truth. He and Risa then walked into the kitchen to see Issac eating some pieces of chocolate cake himself.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to have one so soon…" Issac muttered the moment he saw the baby in Jason's arms.

Jason and Risa exchanged a glance and sighed. They sat down on the chairs while Jason placed May on the dining table, which to be fair, looked a bit weird and awkward.

"So… mind explaining why you have a baby with you?" Issac questioned once he had finished eating the cake.

"For starters, she is a teenager and not a baby." Jason replied before faking a cough.

"…"

"…"

Issac and Risa had to admit that the fact didn't sound that strange at all. Both of them had dealt with their own share of weirdness over the years.

If someone told them that the moon was just someone's butt showing from the sky, they would believe it after some solid proof.

After all, that would give a whole new explanation as to why the dark and light side of the moon were shown.

"Let me back up…" Jason sighed before beginning his explanation.

***

Inside the royal palace situated in Troy…

"Hmm, something doesn't feel right…" Julian muttered to himself while being perched on top of his bed.

The king of Vancouver kingdom could tell that something was wrong but couldn't exactly pin point the source of the problem.

Suddenly, a voice echoed inside his head, making him frown. Julian stood up from his bed and immediately started making his way to the throne room.

'First Zilan disappeared with his family and now this. Things are not going the way they are supposed to go.'

Once he entered the throne room, Julian immediately went to sit on his throne and closed his eyes.

He activated his powers and thought of two figures he knew well and hated. The first one was Risa.

'She's clear. She hasn't used much of her true power after we made the oath so everything's fine. As for Issac…'

Once Julian thought about Jason's grandpa, his frown deepened. From what he got to know, Issac had recently used a small amount of his true powers.

Usually, Julian would've ignored it but due to the current events, he was feeling suspicious about everything.

'Well, I can just ask the spies placed around Duphia to keep a check on the family house. The last batch had already made it out of the chamber and according to the information I received, all of them are staying at their own homes.

I have to get all of them here, or at least the two children with guardians. Once I have them under control, I will be able to increase my manpower by a lot.

The guardian of Mistopia is also sending me reliable information. I am surprised she managed to stay hidden for so many years…'

While keeping his eyes closed, Julian checked on numerous people he had forced a contract upon.

Most of them were the powerhouses of the continent who couldn't do anything against his advances and orders.

'All right, the pieces have all appeared. They are slowly falling into place and if I guide them a bit, things can get pretty good sometimes.'

Julian finally opened his eyes and stood up from the throne. A wave of pain immediately descended on his body yet Julian simply smiled and exited the place.

'Soon enough, I will be able to put everything together and create the world we want. Everything would be fine then.'

Julian returned to his room and crashed on the bed. He closed his eyes and used a bit of the power residing inside his divinity.

'I will prove that making me your follower wasn't a bad idea. I will create the perfect world…'
