Guardian Of The End

The twin monks didn't respond and continued to hover on their spots. They knew that the woman talking was none other than Hestia, one of the major goddesses related to their godly parent.

"You are his patron?" Choros asked in a low tone.

[ No, I am not. I am just his guardian. Though his patron is someone who you know very well. ] Hestia grinned.

She currently had complete control over Jason's body while he was watching things from a third person perspective.

[ I am sure Erebus would like to meet you both soon. I hope you have maintained a good relationship with him because you were just about to kill his follower. ] Hestia added before rising in the air.

The lava wings rose behind her as the ex-goddess finally used her divine powers after a long time.

It was only after talking with Flamey that Hestia uncovered the truth to using her powers despite not being a celestial being anymore.

"Chronos, do you want to fight her?" Choros whispered.

"No, I don't but you know we have to do it since we are bound by the contract. She must have many restrictions on her so we should be able to fight her." Chronos replied.

"Then what are we going to do about Erebus? If he really is Jason's patron, we will be toast the moment we kill him."

"Let's think about one problem at once." Chronos lifted his hands together and formed a circle of sorts.

Immediately, multiple silver magic circles opened up behind him. His body started going through multiple mutations before returning to normal.

Chronos stretched his arms a bit before shooting forward at a normal speed. However, Jason and Hestia could tell that their body was slowed after the effects of the magic circle.

It had also strengthened Chronos's body so they couldn't avoid the attack either. That's when Hestia used the lava to attack Chronos simultaneously.

The lava took the form of a wolf that dashed towards Chronos. The time mage didn't fear the wolf, at least until he realized that Hestia had mixed her divine energy inside the wolf.

Choros sensed this as well and used his space magic in order to swallow the wolf.

"You cannot manipulate the space like that as long as I am here." Jason said in his normal voice.

One of his eyes turned purple while the other one remained golden. He now had fifty percent control over his body while the other fifty percent was being controlled by Hestia.

Together, the two of them made use of Sancus's divinity to break the laws of space and prevented the wolf from being swallowed up by Choros's magic. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

The space mage immediately appeared beside his brother and the duo combined their magic to create a shield.

Choros's space magic started absorbing the wolf's energy while Chronos's reversed time to make sure that the supply of energy would continue to exist for a long time.

Unfortunately, Hestia had already foreseen this and was ready with a counter.

[ You forgot the basics of fighting. Always make sure to use your senses to keep a check on your opponent. ]

Hestia and Jason appeared right behind the twins and touched their shoulders. The golden thunder wrapping Jason's body immediately hit the twins and electrocuted them.

Since the thunder contained traces of divine energy, it was able to deal damage to demi-gods like them as well.

"Ha…" Chronos gasped as he reversed the time on his body.

Choros wasn't so lucky and had to use the absorbed divine energy to battle the thunder. This left the twins vulnerable for a short amount of time, something Hestia took advantage of.

She immediately used the lava and the remainder of the thunder to create a Chinese dragon.

The dragon wrapped around Jason's right arm before shooting towards Choros, the weaker of the twins.

Hestia channeled a bit of her guardian powers into the dragon such that she was able to ride it using a projection of herself.

[ You are still far too young to defeat me. Go practice. ] Hestia grinned as the dragon tore right through Choros's body.

The space mage gasped loudly as he felt his chest being torn. He immediately used his space element to maintain his vital organs, but it was already too late.

Choros had lost the fight as his body vanished from the plane, leaving Chronos's alone.

The time mage looked at this with a grim expression. He wanted to retreat back as well but it was impossible since he was bound by a contract.

'Wait, the child! He dropped her back at the original location to make sure she didn't suffer.'

Chronos suddenly remembered that May was not present at the current battlefield. Jason had left her at the garden at the last moment before he was submerged inside the volcano.

Chronos started flying towards the garden at hyper speed by decreasing the time around him.

Jason realized what he was doing and moved in the opposite direction. Choros didn't pay attention to this since he was more focused on getting to the garden.

Jason on the other hand was using his connection with May to pinpoint her location. Combined with the fact that he was using divine thunder, it barely took him a few minutes to traverse over hundreds of kilometers of distance.

[ Jason, did you win? ] May suddenly asked as she sensed him nearing him.

'Choros was defeated and Chronos is in a bad condition. Hestia is helping me as well so we will win the battle and enter thetemple.' Jason reassured her.

[ Good because I think I am nearing my limit… I feel bad about asking this but can you please help me? ]

'Sure.'

Jason soon appeared right beside May and saw that her body was literally burning up. The cocoon of divine energy had grown even thicker.

The moment Jason tried to lift May, the divine energy attacked his hand. He immediately pulled his hand back, a grime expression appearing on his face.

If he couldn't touch May, he couldn't regulate her divine energy. And if he didn't do that, her condition would only worsen before she would go on a rampage.
