Guardian Of The End

"You are leaving this decision to me?" Amber asked with a shocked expression.

The duo was currently sitting under a tree outside the Syrward manor. Midnight was steadily approaching yet the two teenagers didn't look sleepy at all.

"I am fine with not going as well. I didn't tell grandpa the real reason for the visit. He thinks it's only an invitation to see my other side of the family." Jason sighed.

His body slowly slid to the ground as he rested his head on the hard bottom part of the tree. His mind was currently thinking about what he would do if he actually went to the demon kingdom.

"You want to go though, don't you?" Amber smiled. "I can tell you are interested in exploring the demon kingdom and getting to know more about the demon side of your family."

Jason had to agree that Amber was telling the truth. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't at least a bit interested in vising the demon kingdom.

"The problem is that the sins will be with me as well. Even if Amon can br a protector for me, I don't think he can beat all the sins on his own." Jason stated his concern.

"I guess having two guardians will serve as some sort of protection."

"Two?" Jason blinked in confusion before it hit him. "So you are ready to go?!"

"I am. I need to move on and what better way to do it then go into the supposed enemy's territory?"

Jason had a smile on his face. His eyes were still closed as the wind gently blew his hair.

"Also, isn't that kinda rough?" Amber questioned while looking at Jason's head resting on the trunk.

"Now that you mention it, my head does hurt a bit..." Jason commented, slowly trying to get up.

However, a gentle hand prevented him from rising up. Before he knew it, his head was resting on something soft.

Jason temporarily froze when he felt the soft skin under his head. As far as he remembered, Amber had been wearing a knee-length skirt...

"Amber..." Jason murmured yet his voice didn't reach Amber's ears.

The system, Hestia and Flamey watched this scene with internal grins.

They could tell that both Jason and Amber were blushing like children in love.

It was so cute that the three of them silently sent a prayer towards the goddess of thighs.

As weird as that might sound, there really was a goddess of thighs.

"Reminds you of something?" Issac, who was standing near the entrance of the manor with Risa, asked.

"Older times. I am surprised he actually told you where they were going." Risa commented.

"I am surprised myself but I guess this shows that he trusts us. We have to let him explore the world anyways."

"Especially considering the fact that we were never the ones to stop exploring." Risa grinned.

The old couple looked at Jason and Amber with a loving and protective gaze.

What the future held wasn't known by any of them but despite that, all of them were ready to face it in their own way.

"Uh... why are all of you looking half-burnt?" Issac asked with a surprised expression.

Currently the Syrward family were standing in their garden alongside six of the seven sins, Hecate and Amber.

All of the sins had their clothes burned up, showing that none of them were wearing any kind of special clothes.

However, their bodies looked completely unharmed.

"We were trying to get him and ended up running into an unfortunate encounter..." Diana muttered while pointing towards an unconscious boy being carried by Manny.

Both Jason and Amber recognized the boy as Wade, their classmate from the Royal academy.

"He did this?" Jason asked.

"No, he didn't. His protectors were the ones who did this. I wish we could've taught them a lesson but they seemed close to him." Juliana muttered in a disappointed tone.

"In simpler terms, we basically kidnapped him and his protectors retaliated. I teleported all of us here." Amon summarized with a calm expression.

Somehow, his white coat was slowly returning to ite original condition.

"Now kidnapped wouldn't be that kind of a word," Hecate smiled. "We basically borrowed him for a short while."

Jason silently exchanged a glance with Risa and Issac while wondering whether he was doing the right thing by going with them.

"Jason and Amber, are you both ready to come with us?" Hecate asked at last

"Yes, we are going to come." Jason replied as Amber nodded beside him.

"Good. Now we can leave peacefully."

"Um before that, I want you all to swear an oath." Jason coughed lightly. "Please swear that none of you will do any harm to us."

The sins exchanged a glance. Xavier shrugged once before opening his mouth.

"I swear."

Following his examples, all of the sins swore the oath, Juliana being the last one to say it.

Hecate also went ahead and said it aloud. None of them were really bothered by the oath since they wouldn't face any lashback even if they broke it.

At least that's what they thought.

"Just a reminder that this oath is now bound by the power of a divinity." Jason smiled as a purple pen appeared in front of him.

Seven purple rays shot out from the pen's cap and entered the bodies of the sins and Hecate.

Three golden rays followed the purple ones and hit Wade, Amber and Jason's bodies.

In front of everyone, a golden glow bathed the ten people before receding.

This was the first time Jason had actually made use of his divinity to obtain a divine oath from such a large number of people at once.

"He did get your hormones..." Amon suddenly chuckled, breaking the uneasy silence that had settles over the place.

Issac couldn't help but grin after hearing that statement.

Jason, however, was looking at the system screen that had appeared in front of his face.

< Message from Sancus >

< Good job, Jason. That was a good oath you got there. I will talk to you about the powers of my divinity tonight. >

Author's note: As you might have noticed, I haven't been uploading much for the past few days.

The reason? My laptop broke down. Now I took it for repair but unfortunately, it seems like I'll have to wait a week before it's repaired.

Writing on phone is extremely tough and my eyes hurt by simply trying to write a chapter.

That's why I'm afraid that until I get my laptop back, my update rate will remain around 4-7 chapters a week...
