GUARDIAN OF THE END

'Things seem to be going fine but why do I have a feeling that Julian is planning something big…' Risa fell deep in thought while thinking about Julian's plans.

Till then, they had killed and knocked out at least fifty thousand people without losing a single warrior from their side.

Julian simply kept on sending more warriors to different parts around the city in order to divide all the stronger people across the place.

Risa already knew this and only sent the high agility mages to deal with the opposite army. These included Jason, May, Ray, Issac, .Wade and Risa herself.

'Julian, who are you going to target first? I know it is going to be one of the children but I still don't know who it will be.'

Risa felt anxious thinking about who Julia would focus on. Her initial guess was Jason since he was capable of negating Julian's aura singlehandedly.

Her second guess was May since she thought that Julian and Galirius would have already figured out that May was a demigod.

To prevent them from being the center of attention, Risa had paired up Jason and May together.

'He might attack Nora to capture someone to use against us. I should add a small amount of security behind him just in case.'

Just as Risa was about to proceed, a message echoed inside her head.

[ Help me! Gale is chasing after me, possibly to capture me! ]

"Hmm, this is getting weird." Amber muttered after clearing out another group of warriors.

She had been roaming around in a small circle for the past few minutes while trying to clear up all of the warriors.

None of them would try to attack her in a coordinated manner and simply shot towards her with the motive of killing her.

[ They are far too weak for you. Someone is definitely trying to study your fighting style and techniques. ] Flamey commented.

'Well, the joke's on them since I don't have any fighting style.'

[ If only they knew that they were fighting against a lazy teenage girl. ]

Amber lightly chuckled before stopping on her spot. She immediately stomped on the ground, creating an earthquake.

Cracks ran through the ground for several meters before a figure popped up.

"So you have the sensory skills as well. Considering who your guardian is, I can't say I am surprised." Gale smiled as he brushed his clothes in front of Amber.

Amber didn't respond and simply upped her guard. Flamey appeared around her shoulders and hissed at Gale.

"Looks like your pet doesn't like me. Can you tell it to not glare at me like that or I might just cut its tail?" Gale asked in a teasing tone. 𝐟rℯℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝘰m

"If you try to cut her tongue, I might just cut out the part that makes you a male." Amber threatened with a humorless smile.

Gale yawned and simply waved a hand in her direction. A tsunami shot out from the palm of his hand and started advancing towards Amber.

The latter took a deep breath before clapping her hands together. The ground in front of her immediately rose up in the form of a mountain and blocked the incoming water.

It was formed from burning magma which also evaporated the water when it came in contact with it.

"I guess you are not all bark." Gale smiled before his expression turned serious.

He slowly started rising as a cyclone started forming below him. The cyclone soon started raging around and causing destruction.

[ Amber, I don't think your magma shield will be enough to block that attack… ] Flamey commented.

'I think the same as well.'

Whatever skill Gale was using, he wasn't trying to go lowkey. The sky had started darkening as well due to dark clouds gathering above head.

The cyclone soon started sucking water out from the clouds and grew twice its original size.

Amber immediately entered the ground and started running away at maximum speed.

"You can run but I will capture you. Things would be much simpler if I could just kill you." Gale commented while directing the cyclone towards the ground.

It tore through the cracks and started going after Amber.

'Flamey, tell me how to contact Risa.'

[ Just think about her and try sending your words in an outwards manner. You should be able to connect with her mind and she will show up. ] Flamey reminded.

Amber did as told and hurriedly sent a distress message. The moment she did that, the hair on her back stood up.

She immediately turned back to see the cyclone barely being a few meters away from her location.

"Fk!"

***

Risa immediately located Amber outside the barrier and turned into a ray of light.

She shot towards Amber's location while remembering the words she had heard in her laboratory.

The voice had belonged to her patron who was definitely watching over the battle.

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

'Theia, if you are watching this, just let me use your powers if it comes to that. I won't let anyone be taken away from me.' Risa thought while clenching her fist.

She could tell that Amber was underground and signaled her to come to the surface.

Seconds later, Amber burst out from the ground before a cyclone cracked it into many pieces.

Risa rotated her wrist in a circular pattern before flicking it in the cyclone's direction.

An arrow made from pure darkness was released from her hand. It easily cut through the cyclone, corroding it to the core.

"You have the dark element as well?" Amber asked with a surprised expression since she hadn't expected Risa to use the dark element as well.

"I have many things that you don't know of. Now if we want to get rid of Gale, be prepared to use the hottest flames that you can currently control." Risa explained while cracking her knuckles.

Amber nodded as black flames danced around her hair. Her eyes started glowing as she summoned the black demon flames she had received during her travels on the demon continent.

Gale witnessed this with a smile on his face. He crushed a small blue bead in his palm and muttered a few words.

"Let's see whether your flames will keep on burning when you are submerged under water."
