Guardian Of The End

Andrew closed the door behind him and lead the duo inside. Amber stuck close to her twin's side before going to meet her father and mother with him.

"So, how are you?' Nora asked casually.

"Hmm, I am not sure how to answer that but I guess I am fine for the time being," Jason replied.

"Ha…" Nora sighed. "Things have been weird as of late. Those belonging to the royal family have started internal wars inside the academy. Me and Andrew were their major targets since we belong to the four families."

"Were there any other people that they targeted?" Jason questioned.

"As far as I know, they are acting on the orders of the king, Julian Vancouver. I guess you already had your run in with him."

"Yeah, that too on multiple occasions. He isn't someone I would like to invite to a birthday party." Jason sighed. "There are so many people out there to get me."

"That number is definitely bigger for you than it is for me. Though there are some people who would like to get their hands on me." Nora sighed as well.

An uneasy silence settled between them. Nora didn't know what to talk about and Jason wasn't in the mood to talk.

Both of them simply kept on walking until they ended up in the hall where Amber was reuniting with her family members.

'She has quite a big family.' Jason observed as he saw numerous people greeting and hugging Amber.

Out of the four families, the Syrward family had the least number of family members, that too by a large margin.

It was obvious that such a big reunion wasn't possible for them.

'You are feeling awkward, aren't you?' Amber's voice entered his mind.

'Not really. I just don't know what to do now that I am reconnecting with a missing piece of my life.' Jason shrugged.

'Happens. The first thing you can try doing is smiling a bit more.' Amber suggested. 'You will start enjoying the short moments in life more.'

'Trust me when I say that I do know that and I do enjoy the tiny moments in life.' Jason smiled.

It took Amber a few minutes to meet up with everyone before she excused herself. Andrew and Amber came to stand beside Jason and Nora as she shot an apologetic look towards them.

"Its your family. I took my time with my own family and you have the right to do the same." Jason replied with a smile.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Andrew asked. "We can try catching up but I don't think either of you will be able to sit still and discuss things like that." 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

"What makes you say that?" Amber questioned.

"Oh please. I noticed how you were a bit reluctant to meet some of them." Andrew snorted. "Also its pretty obvious that Jason is getting bored. I think it would be best if we go back to the Syrward manor to find the next thing we should do."

"We will get to check up on the barrier as well…" Jason murmured. "Let's do that."

"Last to get there will treat the others to lunch!" Noah suddenly announced before moving with the speed of wind.

Andrew cursed and dashed after him, using his fire magic to propel himself forward. Jason and Amber shared a secret smile since both of them knew that they had missed moments like this due to spending too much time inside the chamber of rebirth.

"Should we give them a chance or destroy them?"

"Let's just get there. Do you even have money to treat them?"

"Good point."

In the blink of an eye, both Jason and Amber vanished from their spots. It barely took them two minutes to reach the top again since they were traveling solo without any worries.

Nora was the next person to arrive but it took him quite a few minutes to get there. Andrew followed him soon before sighing.

The quartet headed inside the manor as Jason signaled for May to come to him. The demi-god happily came to him and started hovering around his back.

"Who's that?" Andrew questioned with a surprised look.

"She is May. May, meet Andrew. He is Amber's twin." Jason made a quick introduction before using his mana vision to see who was present in the house.

He located Ray meditating inside his room and controlling his mana. The rest of the family was outside.

[ Try shifting to divine vision. You might be able to see where Amon is. ] The system suggested.

Jason agreed with it since he knew that Amon would definitely be using divine energy to repair the barrier.

'If he is staying at the house, there is only one place where he could be present at.'

Jason's eyes started glowing as he stared directly down. His vision passed right through as he peered inside Risa's lab.

His guess turned out to be correct as he saw the outline of a silver ring lying in the palm of a person. Divine energy mixed with mana was slowly coming out of Amon's body.

"I will be right back." Jason explained before dashing out from the back door, May following him closely.

Only he and May were the people who could safely entered Risa's lab without facing any problems.

Jason, however, knew that the others might try to come below so he opted to use the teleportation formation still linking his room with the lab.

He reached the window of his room and entered the room through it. After smearing his blood on the symbols, Jason hugged May and prepared to be teleported away.

The two of them appeared right inside the experiment room where Amon was standing with a grim expression.

When he saw the two of them, he lifted his gaze and sighed.

"Since you are the first one to come here, I guess I will deliver the bad news to you first."

"What bad news?" Jason questioned.

"Julian's attacks weren't just normal attacks using divine energy. Whatever he used managed to destroy the barrier and disabled one of its mechanisms. I can no longer repair the broken layers nor can I generate new ones…"

AN: the third volume ends with that. Time to do some time skips and go the action part since I seem to be losing a lot of readers…

Hopefully this novel will stay alive enough to help me survive xD.
