Guardian Of The End

A magic circle suddenly expanded under Risa's feet. It kept on expanding until it touched Galirius's feet.

Suddenly, hundreds of arrows of light shot out from the magic circle and started hitting Galirius.

The god summoned red colored forcefields to protect himself from the incoming arrows. However, the arrows were much more powerful than he had anticipated.

One of them cracked right through his forcefields and managed to hit his abdomen before vanishing. Galirius was confused by this when all of a sudden, his vision went completely white.

"Issac." Risa gestured for Issac to go ahead and do his job.

Issac shot out in the form of a black thunderbolt and directly clashed with Galirius's forcefield. It seemed like the divine energy forcefield would hold on but something weird happened.

Issac's black thunder changed into golden thunder in the blink of an eye. The forcefield broke down into tiny pieces and Issac materialized in front of Galirius.

The god, who was still blind, using his sensory powers to get away from Issac. The latter smiled and joined his hands together before punching forward with a combined fist.

A horse made from thunder was released from his fist and charged forward towards Galirius. The god's vision came back at the end moment and allowed him to see coming attack.

Galirius raised both of his hands forward, making a bright red shield appear in front of him. The horse clashed with the shield before exploding, causing a lot of smoke to appear there.

Risa didn't miss this chance and twisted her right hand in Galirius's direction. The magic circle turned black as chains made from dark magic shot out from the circle.

They wrapped around Galirius's limbs and kept him fixed in one spot. Galirius's skin started burning the moment it made contact with his skin.

"Those are some good binding chains." Galirius chuckled as he destroyed the chains with a snap of his finger.

Red beams of light shot out from his body and made their way towards Risa. The latter smiled and clapped her hands together.

The magic circle below her summoned an army of warriors created by dark magic. All of them were holding their own pairs of shields and swords and had a magical rune embedded in their forehead.

'Necromancy? Jason questioned.

[ No. Risa is simply manipulating those puppets created by dark magic. The runes on their forehead are created with the help of life magic and are most likely there to help them regenerate. ]

The warriors raised their shields together in a defensive formation and took the beams of red light head on.'

Their shields started hissing as the beams of light were slowly corroded away. The runes on their foreheads started glowing and a second later, their shields were as good as new.

[ One thing that is truly fearsome about your grandmother is her control over her magic. She can create and use the most complex of magic without breaking a sweat. If you are not careful, she can use your own magic against you. ] Issac informed Jason.

The magic circle below Risa's feet changed color again, indicating that a light based attack was coming.

Galirius's jaw twitched at this and he summoned his own magic circle below his feet. His circle was bright red and only had a single pattern repeated all over the place.

"Gravitation reversal!" Galirius shouted and activated a spell using the magic circle.

Risa immediately clasped her hands into fist before  canceling the magic she was about to use. All of her warriors started being pulled in the upwards direction, heading towards space at the speed of sound.

Risa and the others inside the circle were also being pulled towards space but at a much slower speed.

"You are bending the laws of the world. That will cost you dearly." Risa reminded as she retracted her magic circle, surprising Galirius.

"You do know that if I put some more force into this magic circle, you will be pulled away to space until you die there?"

"I know that but you will never be able to do it." Risa chuckled. "Jason, I think this is the right time to use your power."

Jason nodded and took a deep breath. One more thing that he had learned in the past few months was to create a magic circle using divine energy.

A magic circle full of complex symbols and designs spread out below his feet. Galirius's eyes shrunk a bit when he noticed that the magic circle was made using Sancus's divine energy was the exact same size as his magic circle.

"Law equalizer!" Jason clapped his hands together and activated the magic circle.

Sancus's pen glowed brightly inside his soul and supplied the circle with adequate divine energy.

The effects of hi magic canceled the effects of Galirius's magic, making him crack his knuckles in anger.

'This is starting to get annoying. The techniques at my disposal can't deal with all of them at once. I need more followers before I can use stronger techniques…'

Galirius had risked a lot by changing the laws of the place. Something like this would force him to suffer from a severe backlash.

Galirius knew that no other god would be ready to face the backlash caused by changing the natural laws of a world.

"Fk you all. I sound like a cheap villain saying this but I have no other choice. I will see you all soon." With that, Galirius retracted his magic circle and canceled his magic.

He immediately felt the backlash aiming for his body and decided to teleport away. It was at this moment that Issac moved forward while being covered with golden thunder.

"I have been saving all that divine energy for this moment." Issac grinned and kicked forward with all his might.

His foot connected with Galirius's head at the last moment, leaving a footprint before the god teleported away.

Issac had a grin on his face after seeing this as he came back to stand beside the group.

"That felt nice." Risa commented while powering down. Her eyes returned to normal and the remainder of the warriors that hadn't been blown away vanished.

"Risa, how did your patron exactly contact you?" Issac questioned.

"She didn't exactly contact me first. She actually sent Jason a vision before wishing me good luck." Risa explained what had happened.

None of them were focused on the fact that a magic circle was present below their feet and was currently pressuring their side of people below.

"Wait, where is May?" Jason suddenly questioned as he started looking for May's aura.

He was able to sense that her aura was nearby yet his eyes couldn't see her. Suddenly, something caught his eye near the ground.

"Is that… Briana?" Amber asked slowly.

Currently Briana was buried deep inside the ground and was surrounded by a pool of her own blood.

May stood right beside her, a wrathful expression visible on her face. She was about to hit Briana on the hand with her staff when he body suddenly started glowing.

Her body increased to ten times its size as fur started covering her body. In her rage, May roared loudly, sending chills down the spines of everyone present inside Duphia.

"Oh for the sake of…" Risa sighed. "I wonder what the hell happened now."

***

Once may had kicked Briana towards the ground, she swiftly followed up with a strike from her staff.

Unfortunately, Briana had already gathered herself together and managed to use her own divine weapon to block the incoming attack.

The two weapons created multiple sparks upon coming in contact but May became the victor due to the extra momentum she carried.

Briana landed roughly on the ground, creating a small crater due to the impact. However, she managed to stand back on her feet and glared at the May

"Girl, that's rude. You should at least let the other side prepare their own divine weapon to fight." Briana grumbled.

"Thats quite ironic considering how you didn't let us create  countermeasure magic circle," May countered bitterly. "Or how you didn't let a mother run away with her newborn child."

The last comment seemed to take Brian by surprise but she didn't have the time to think more about it.

May had already launched forward and used her staff to attack her. They exchanged several blows yet neither side came out as the victor.

Both divine weapons contained equal amounts of power yet May's was slightly superior since she was a demi-god using a divine weapon.

However, Briana's experience and May's lack of experience balanced that gap. Briana had a serious expression on her face since she knew that her current fight was no joke.

"If you want to fight like that, let's get serious."

Briana's battle armor suddenly flashed once as runes appeared on the metal. Her dagger shone the same color as her armor as a divine aura surrounded her body.

"Let's get this sht started for real."
