Guardian Of The End

Just like the system had said, using attacks charged with divine energy was enough to kill the zombie goblins in one hit.

'That was why Risa had trouble killing that goblin in the past. She couldn't make use of her divine energy due to the contract.' Jason remembered while hitting a goblin with a thunderbolt.

[ Definitely. But that doesn't explain how that cube got here or why did that goblin appear here. ]

'You can't get the answer to all of your questions at once. We will have to wait for some time to receive all the answers.'

Jason and May ended up cleaning all the goblins in a few minutes. Once they were done, the duo decided to head back and call it a day.

"Let's see how fast you can go on that cloud. Try using it at full speed to reach the manor." Jason suggested while looking in the direction of the manor.

May accepted the challenge and launched herself forward without any warning. Her movements couldn't be captured by normal eyes due to how fast she was.

But in the end, Jason managed to appear at the manor first with the help of divine energy mixed with his white thunder. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Risa had already placed the collection of rocks down in the garden and had surrounded it with a protective barrier.

The major heads of the four families, including Brian, Zeke's grandfather and Amber's parents, were looking at the collection with grim expressions.

"How are we going to defeat so many of them if they keep getting stronger every time one of them dies?" Amber's father, Matt, asked aloud.

"We shouldn't have any problem until the halfway mark is reached. After that, I am afraid that only the strongest of us would be able to rival the commanders gathered by Julian." Issac replied.

"Maybe if we had won the war in the past, we wouldn't be facing such circumstances." Zeke's grandfather sighed. "I just want to retire and meet some new young women."

"Grandpa…" Zeke shook his head at his grandfather's words.

Truth be told, all of the elder generation wanted to retire and live the rest of their lives without meddling with Julian.

Unfortunately, none of them could get their wish fulfilled and would have to continue fighting till the end.

"I wish the war had ended back then but it didn't. Now we have to fight together once again but things might be different this time." Risa said before looking at Amon. "Amon, if you may."

"The demon king and the other kings are going to join us in this fight. Julian has transfered half of his forces to the demon kingdom and is trying to put the entire continent under his command.

If we don't stop him with them, he will have an entire army under his command, not counting the fact that he already has the two neighboring kingdoms under his control." Amon explained.

A stunned silence spread over the entire area. Amon looked at Issac and Risa before realizing that he had spoken something that only he knew.

With a sigh, he continued on. "Yes, he almost has the entire continent under his rule and in a few days, he will have the fourth kingdom under his control as well.

He will soon turn most of the residents into his patron's followers and things will go down the drain. If all of you want to retire peacefully and spread the remainder of your days with the younger generation, we will have to fight together."

One by one, every person present there nodded their head in agreement. If they didn't do anything, the future of the next generation would be in danger.

"Now that all of us are on the same page, there is something I would like to add." Jason suddenly announced as he walked in the middle of the group.

Everyone gathered there knew who Jason was, not just because of his family but because of the things he had done in the past decade.

Despite that, some people felt a bit weird getting told things by someone half their age.

"I can tell that some of you might feel weird that someone like me is addressing you about things." Jason smiled humorlessly. "Just remember that this someone is stronger than almost every single one of you gathered here."

That comment was enough to send chills down their spines, especially when Jason showed them a glimpse of his divinities.

'I wish you had taught me how to project your aura as well.' Jason said to the system as he projected the aura of Erebus's divinity, aka the system.

[ Erebus's divinity projects a weird type of aura. You wouldn't have been able to control it and would have scared a lot of people. That is why I didn't tell you how you can use it and control it. ]

'All right.' Jason turned the aura off and began with what he wanted to say.

"According to what I have calculated, Julian's divinity can suppress every single one of you present here. Only I can counter the effects of his divinity and prevent you from being enslaved.

If any of you ever encounter him in a fight and feel like you are about to be enslaved, immediately call for help. Each and everyone single one of you are important as a whole." Jason finished before turning towards his grandparents.

Risa nodded and gestured him to come forward. Jason casually walked up to her and touched her shoulder.

He activated Sancus's divinity and turned on the forceful contract breaking ability. His body was surrounded with a bright glow which was slowly being transfered to Risa.

Five minutes later, the glow had vanished from existence. A ringing sound echoed around the garden as the purple ball pen made its appearance.

It touched Risa's forehead once and vanished. Seconds later, Risa sighed in relief. A huge burden had just vanished off her shoulders as Jason had successfully broken her contract.

'Sometimes it's good to make a public display of power.' Jason commented while looking at the faces of the others present around them.

All of them seemed amazed and a bit excited after seeing his display of power.

[ If the time calls for it, you have to do it. ] The system agreed.

'Indeed.' Jason replied as he moved in front of Issac. 'This is just the beginning. We have a lot of things waiting for us in the future…'
