GUARDIAN OF THE END

"What was that…" Jason questioned, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal.

"That was a sky chase with a god possessing the body of another human." Issac replied in a calm voice. "Let's get inside, we will talk things then."

After saying those words, Issac moved inside the house. Jason silently followed him while thinking about the raw thunder that had came out of Issac's body.

The power of it was enough to at least charge an entire state, if not a country.

'He had used the same white thunder that I use…'

[ It should be the other way around since he has been using thunder for a majority of his life, which we don't know how long it is. ]

'True. I have to admit that though Grandpa looked more flashier, grandma's skills were more practical and useful.'

[ You can try and learn both since you have access to both their elements. But before that, you need to learn teleportation magic. ]

'Speaking of that, can they even teach me that considering the curse that is placed on our family?' Jason asked curiously.

[ They should be able to do it since teleportation magic seems like a basic things that most people should know how to use. ]

Jason was still doubtful about that yet his attention was diverted by the purple pen floating in front of him.

Sancus's divinity looked like a normal pen after it had used its powers to allow Risa and Issac to break free of Julian and his patron god's contract.

'Does this mean that both of them are finally free from the contract and can do whatever they want?' Jason asked himself.

He didn't want the system or Hestia to confirm or deny the statement which was why he kept it restricted to his own mind.

"That was a good rebound. I think he had forgotten how powerful that barrier can be." Risa, who sitting on one of the chairs, said with a smile.

She was holding May in her arms who had been brought back from her temporary unconsciousness.

"So what are we going to do know?" Issac asked while sliding into one of the other chairs.

No one could tell that these two figures had just destroyed a major portion of the royal palace and had managed to defeat a god in a game of chase.

Both of them looked like normal old people discussing things about their future.

"I can feel that I am still bounded by control yet my power usage has gone up to fifty percent," Risa explained. "Let me check yours."

She leaned forward in her chair and touched Issac's forehead with her right hand. Risa circulated a bit of her mana inside Issac and took a look at his soul.

Jason, of course, didn't know this. Though his mana vision allowed him to track the movement of the mana, he couldn't explain where it vanished off to.

[ Its entering his soul. Its likely that your grandparents formed a soul bond during their marriage which allows them to peer into each other's souls. It used to be a sweet thing that true lovers did.

Also, I know you will ask me how I know this. The answer is simple, I used to know the person who was responsible for this and other marriages. You can consider her status to be above Sancus's during oaths. ]

Jason nodded in acknowledgment. It was clear that Hestia was referring to a goddess of marriage yet she didn't specifically take her name.

[ Its better to sometimes not take the names of gods. They get called upon millions of times a day and don't bother listening but some of them have names that carry divine power. Using such names might summon a divine spirit or something. ]

'The more I learn about gods and divine energy, the more confusing it gets. Like, how does it even work? I take the name of a god or goddess and boom! Hisoka appears here?'

[ I don't know who that person is but I will consider him like an evil spirit. Yes, something like that will happen but the chances are quite random. ]

'Considering my luck, its best if don't do anything about this…'

Jason patiently waited for Risa to finish checking Issac's soul. Once she was done, a wide smile appeared on her face.

"Your power limit has been lifted up top sixty percent! This means that we can now fight without the fear of being hit with the curses imposed on us by the contract."

"Finally!"

Both Issac and Risa looked extremely happy, something Jason could understand a bit. He knew how it felt to have immense power yet not be able to use it.

"Jason, thank you for what you did back then. You might not realize this but you did a great thing for us!" Risa commented before picking Jason up.

Mind you, he was now fifteen and was a few inches taller than Risa. Regardless, his grandmother was no normal person and easily managed to hold him.

"Uh, grandma, can you let me down?" Jason asked awkwardly.

Risa set Jason down before closing her eyes. She checked something inside her soul once before opening her eyes.

Her green eyes were sparkling with newfound energy while the light in her surrounding started malfunctioning.

Risa made every single particle of light present in the room focus on her.

"It feels good to control your power unrestricted. Also, the normal curse placed on us is no longer in effect. This means that we can teach you things freely." Risa explained to Jason.

The entire room returned to normal as her eyes lost their glow. Jason could feel the hair on his back stand up after this display of power.

At least he got the answer to his question.

"Wait, what happened to aunt Zara?" Jason suddenly asked.

He remembered that Hecate had immobilized his aunt, who as far as he remembered, wasn't cured before he had entered the chamber of rebirth.

"Well…" Risa's voice trailed off before she sighed. "You should take a look for yourself.
