GUARDIAN OF THE END

Jason couldn't help but feel excited to talk more about the powers offered to him by Sancus's divinity.

However, he had to contain his excitement due to the presence of multiple people around him.

"Let's leave now or do you still want to obtain some more oaths?" Diana asked in an annoyed tone.

The sin of lust felt a little irritated that a child like Jason had managed to obtain such an oath from her.

"No, that's all I needed." Jason reassured.

"Then please step a bit closer to us. I don't want you both to strand somewhere in the demon continent." Amon instructed.

Once Jason and Amber had stepped closer to thr sins, Amon closed his eyes and activated a teleportation spell.

Jason waved at Issac and Riss one last time before vanishing from his spot alongside the others.

Issac and Risa watched him go while combating a mixture of feelings.

Though both of them knew that this wasn't the first time Jason was going to a hostile environment where many beings would try to take advantage of him.

"Hopefully Amon keeps him safe..." Risa mumbled.

"I trust Amon with my life," Issac said. "I'll put my trust in him and hope that he keeps Jason safe."

"Same..."

[ Amber, did you ask grandpa or grandma to contact your parents and tell them about this? ] Jason questioned.

Currently, he and Amber were moving through a void like place.

Their senses were completely cut off and they could not communicate using telepathy.

This was a common phenomenon experienced during log distance teleportations.

Even those who had mastered the arts of teleportation magic couldn't simply use long range teleportation without entering the void-like place.

[ I did. Aunt Risa already contacted my father and told him everything that happened after my disappeared. She did omit certain thing though... ] Amber's voice trailed off. 𝑓𝐫ℯe𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝘭.co𝐦

Jason immediately understood what she was talking about.

If both of them could see other right now, Jason would've noticed the slight blush of red appearing on Amber's cheeks.

[ Anyways, my father argued that I should come back but your Aunt shut him up. She does have a way with people. ]

[ That she does... ] Jason replied while remembering about the special mages Julian had sent to get him captured.

Risa had gotten a bit creative with them...

[ Wait, you are calling her aunt? ]

[ Yeah, it feels much natural. She likes to hear that as well. ]

[Hmm... ]

A few minutes passed by in silence before Jason's sensed were restored.

He found himself to be standing in a huge field full of red flowers.

Despite leaving during the morning, the sky had turned orange, almost looking identical to red.

"Wait..." Jason suddenly froze as he recognized the field he was standing in.

Even though he had only visited it once, the memories had been etched directly on his soul.

"Welcome to the demon kingdom, my descendant." A familiar voice echoed inside his ears.

Jason immediately turned back and was met face to face with Aiden, the demon he had met almost a decade ago.

"Aiden..."

"Yes, that's me. Good thing you didn't forget my name. I'm not good with introductions." Aiden sighed in relief. "Anyways, how you doing? It's been a long time since we last met."

"Uh..." Jason struggled to find the correct words to reply to Aiden.

A lot of things had happened since the last time they had met.

Jason had even learned a bit more about Aiden from Hestia.

'Hestia, system, can either of you hear me?' Jason called out.

However, no response came from either of them.

"I forgot to mention but the restrictions on my domain are getting tighter. I can't even talk to my own system." Aiden explained with a bittersweet smile.

"Doesn't it get lonely?" Jason questioned.

"It does but I do have someone to keep me company." Aiden raised his fingers to his mouth and whistled loudly.

Suddenly a figure materialized out of his shadow. Jason blinked in surprise when he saw that the figure was none other than a wolf with a dark blue fur.

"Wolves have always been friendly with me," Aiden explained while stroking the fur of the wolf. "This one has been with me ever since I got free from prison for the first time."

"Why did you get imprisoned in the first place?"

"You love to ask a lot of questions, don't you?" Aiden smiled before gesturing for Jason to follow him.

He started walking towards the north with the wolf walking right beside him.

Jason silently followed him while trying to figure out what could have happened in the past.

'I currently don't have anyone to help me if anything goes wrong. I'll have to make sure that Aiden doesn't do anything to me...'

Seconds after thinking that thought, Jason started doubting whether he could do anything to Aiden in the first place.

Not only was he much older than him, he was also more experienced and powerful.

Someone like Jason didn't stand a chance against Aiden.

"You don't need to be worried. I am not going to do anything to you, especially since your patron is Erebus." Aiden said from ahead.

Jason was surprised by his words yet didn't say anything.

"You might be wondering how I know this or how I know Erebus? Well, let me answer your question." Aiden sighed.

"Erebus and I go way back. He used to hide his identity back then since he had caused a small blunder and had his curse's power increased thricefold. He went by the name of God of Entertainment.

He worked together with someone called Infini, who was the Goddess of Entertainment. Both of them chose miserable people from Earth and reincarnated them.

It's similar to what you went through except we didn't actually do anything good and neither did we get patrons. Our sole goal, which was kept hidden, was to entertain the other gods.

It basically meant that our sufferings and enjoyments became a show for them to watch. Damn I still hate that..." Aiden's voice trailed off.

Jason's instincts told him that it would be best if he kept himself quiet.

Aiden automatically spoke up a few minutes later. "The first time I met Erebus in his real form was when my new home, the demon continent part of Clover, was being destroyed..."
