Guardian Of The End-Chapter 170 Into The Den Of The King

"His child is a demi-god?!" Issac asked with a wide open jaw.

He looked at Risa in disbelief, who shared a similar expression. Both of them knew many strange things and had experienced many such things themselves.

Both of them also had knowledge on gods and demi-gods yet it was the first time they were seeing a demi-god in such a condition.

"She will stay like this until I take her to a temple on her fifteenth birthday. If that doesn't happen, there were be strange and dark consequences which I don't think we should face." Jason finished before relaxing in his chair. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

It had took him a few minutes to give them the complete run down of the story. He now realized how unreal the story sounded.

Fortunately, the Syrward family had been established by using the words weird, chaos etc. as a base.

"I guess she is going to stay here with us." Risa sighed. "Just when I thought we wouldn't be seeing children until you or Nora had your own children."

"She isn't really a child. May is just stuck in the body of an infant even though she is a teenager in reality," Jason pointed out. "Also, she doesn't need us to do any thing. We just have to provide her shelter and protection."

Risa and Issac exchanged another glance while talking things telepathically. Jason on the other hand looked at May and sighed.

'If you weren't Sun Wukong's daughter, I might have left you behind in a deserted area of the forest.' He sighed mentally.

[ Oi, I heard that! ]

'I thought it to make you hear it. You are getting to stay here because of the connections I have with a few people. If not for those connections, you might have exploded right now.' free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

[ I guess you are right… Thank you for saving me. ] May replied after a few seconds.

Jason didn't said anything in reply and stood up from his chair. "You guys stay here and discuss things. I'm gonna go meet Karna."

Without waiting for their replies, Jason walked out of the kitchen and exited the house. He slowly walked towards the edges of their garden and leaped out of the fence.

'I wonder how Karna is doing. I haven't met that guy for so many years. Hopefully, he hasn't kicked the bucket yet.' Jason thought while walking towards the edges of the town.

[ It feels nostalgic to be moving here, doesn't it? ] The system asked curiously.

'I have spent most of my current life in this place. No matter where I go in this world, this will be my home.' Jason replied with a slight smile.

He soon saw the shelter, also the place where Karna stayed for a better of the day, in the distance.

[ Hmm, is it the people that make a place home or is the place itself that one calls home? ]

'That's a deep question. You all right?' Jason asked with a raised eyebrow.

[ I am all right, host. Thank you for asking. ] The system replied politely.

Before Jason could think of a reply for it, his entire body shifted upside down. His whole world started spinning and in the next second, he immediately vanished from his spot.

Inside the Syrward manor, Risa immediately stood up on her spot, her hands slamming hard on the table.

"Jason's aura just vanished from Duphia." She said with a deadly look.

Issac immediately stood up from his spot and dashed out of the room. His face remained expressionless yet dangerous thunder seemed to be leaking out of his body.

He roamed around the entire town in a matter of seconds before returning back to the manor.

"He isn't here…"

"I know. Don't question my powers during moments like this." Risa replied with narrowed eyes.

"I am not questioning them. I am just stating the facts.' Issac replied before shaking his head. "But that's beside the point. We have to find Jason right now and bring him back."

"I did put a mark on him but I don't think I even needed to use it." Risa sighed. "He has ended up in the clutches of the person we didn't want."

"Julian…" Issac's eyes glowed with hatred. "Don't tell me he is going to force a contract on Jason as well."

"Knowing Julian, that's some of the least cruel thing he can do. I just know that we have to get there on time and kick his butt." Risa replied in a dangerous tone.

"So we can use a bit of our true powers?" Issac questioned, his amber eyes glowing brightly.

"Just a bit but yes, we are going to use them." Risa nodded before cracking her neck.

Both of them then looked at May who still present on the table. They reached a silent agreement and picked her up.

Risa made the demi-god lose consciousness before putting her in one of the numerous rooms present inside the manor.

Once they had done that, the duo stepped out of the manor and glanced in the distance.

Two blood chilling auras burst out from their bodies and spread over the entire town. Every single citizen of the town froze on their spots and dropped whatever activities they were doing.

The older generation present inside Duphia trembled in fear because the auras they were sensing belonged to a terrifying couple.

They had seen Risa and Issac in action and were afraid for the person who dared to go against them.

Unfortunately, they were not aware about the contract they had signed with Julian…

"I wonder what those two are up to…" Karna muttered.

The shepherd was lying inside the shelter with his eyes closed. However, he had goosebumps all over his body.

'Its been a long time since I have sensed their powers. Those two are fking demons when they go all out.' He thought before shivering once.

On the opposite outer edge of the town…

Amon, the demon who also lived in Duphia, was staring at the direction of the manor with a curious expression.

'It must have been Julian who did this…' the old demon knew the current king well.

Though he wasn't sure of Risa and Issac's victory due to the contract of binding placed on them, Amon knew that the duo wasn't going to let Julian go unscathed.

'Well, I don't have to worry about this. At the end of the day, both of them will live.' Amon thought before vanishing.

As for Risa and Issac, they had already vanished from their spots and were headed towards their grandson.

They were out to get Jason back…

'I won't be surprised if I just ended up in the main villain's hideout.' Jason thought the moment he appeared in his new surroundings.

He was currently standing in a high class room which looked completely polished. His eyes quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed that the room was empty.

'System, run a scan on the surroundings.' Jason instructed.

[ Host… ] The system's replied in a fading voice. [ There is a divinity restriction placed in this room. I… ]

Before finishing its words, the system's voice trailed off. A grim expression settled on Jason's face as he upped his guard.

[ My senses have been dampened as well but since I am technically not a divinity and neither a divine being, I am not that much effected. ] Hestia replied in a tired voice.

'Don't worry, I am not asking you to do anything. Just be there to talk with me.' Jason replied calmly.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened up and a man walked inside the room. An arrogant yet calm expression rested on his face while his eyes looked at Jason from head to toe.

'Blond hair, slightly arrogant expression and the finish of this room… I think I am present inside the room of the fking king himself.'

Jason didn't know who to cuss for his bad luck. He could only look at the king helplessly while backing away a bit.

'I have to look the least bit intimidating and act terrified. Who knows what I might be subjected to here.'

Jason's actions seemed to work as Julian looked at him with a pleased smile.

"So you are the grandson of those two…" he muttered underneath his breath. "You don't look anything like them though."

'Actually, I do. Your eyes are just too weak to see it.' Jason wanted to reply yet he bit his tongue.

It was best that he remained silent for as long as possible. If he spoke up, things could get difficult for him.

"Giving me the silent treatment?" Julian asked with raised eyebrows. "I guess you aren't that dumb."

Julian casually walked to the bed and sat on its edge. His eyes were continuously staring at Jason's face, making the latter feel as though a child molester was glaring at him.

"I will give you a minute to tell me everything you know about the plans of your grandparents. It can include anything mentioning my name, which is Julian, destruction of the kingdom and such." Julian said in a calm voice.

Jason blinked in surprise since he wasn't sure whether he heard the right thing. As far as he knew, neither of his grandparents were secretly planning a rebellion.

[ Considering the things they lost the first time, I would be surprised if they even formed a small opposing faction, much less plan a rebellion. ]

'Which makes me wonder whether they are good actors or is this king a bit screwed in the head.'

Jason didn't speak anything for the next minute, making Julian sigh.

"Remember, you got this on yourself."

Julian snapped his right finger, the edges of his lips curling into a small smile as the power of his divinity filled the room
