Guardian Of The End

"Why do people keep forgetting to tell me the most important things?!" Jason complained as the bolt of lightning was absorbed by his body.

The lightning left a bitter taste in his mouth but except that, he was easily able to absorb it without any problems.

"Huh? How did you do that?" A confused voice entered his ears.

Jason immediately looked up at the ceiling to see a woman with spectacles hanging upside down on the ceiling.

Her feet were stuck to the wooden ceiling and her curious purple eyes were looking at Jason.

'The same color of eyes as me...'

Jason realized that this was the first time he was seeing someone with purple eyes.

Even in his new world, purple wasn't a common color and was mostly only seen in thunder mages.

But due to the thunder element being extremely rare, the purple color became rare as well.

"I just absorbed it." Jason replied with a shrug.

The woman was about to say something but l before the words could leave her mouth, a green thunderbolt hit her forehead.

"Thunder..." the woman mumbled with wide eyes.

The green thunderbolt was taken in by her body and vanished from sight.

Both Jason and the woman locked eyebrows as they could sense the other's element.

Both of them were wielders of the thunder element and judging from the exchange, they had similar levels of power.

"The last battle I had with a thunder mage ended up in a stalemate. Come to think of it, your aura is quite similar to that person."

"That's because he is Issac's grandson, Seshat." Astryn informed. "Do you want to battle him in a similar way."

Seshat clicked her tongue when she heard Issac's name. Detaching herself from the ceiling, she landed on the floor.

"No, it will most likely end up in a similar way. I'll just use space magic to kick him out." Seshat replied before rotating her right wrist.

Jason's eyes widened in surprise as he was thrown back into a black void.

He appeared outside of the library in the next second and saw the doors closing in front of his eyes.

"Your grandfather made quite the impression of Seshat on his visit here. I am surprised she even let you out so politely." Astryn commented as she came to stand beside Jason.

The latter didn't say anything and simply stared at the doors.

'So that was space magic...'

Though it had looked a bit similar to teleportation, Seshat had used something completely different.

It was as though she had bended the space between the library and the outside and had simply pushed Jason through it.

"She has been guarding that library for almost 3 centuries. Her job is to make sure that only those judged worthy can read the books inside."

"So in simple terms, I need to earn her recognition to read the books inside." Jason summarized. "Meh, that's too much work. I'll just wait for the sins to pick me up."

"Huh? You are not going to barge in again and challenge her?" Astryn couldn't help but feel surprised after hearing his words.

"Why would I do that if she can kick me out easily?" Jason questioned back. "It's too much trouble to go through just to read some books."

"I thought that having Issac's genes and living with him for this long would've made you like him. He had barged in again after Seshat had kicked him out."

'Unfortunately, those genes were transfered to my system. I became more calm headed and rational like my grandmother.'

[ why does that feel like an insult... ]

'Because it's meant to be one.' Jason smirked mentally.

"I am more like Risa. Anyways, where are the other two who came with me staying?"

"The boy went with the sins while the girl decided to stay behind and wait for you to wake up." Astryn replied. "Let me take up to her."

"Aight."

Jason and Astryn were about to walk away when Seshat's voice stopped them.

"You aren't going anywhere right now."

Jason suddenly found himself inside the library again. Seshat was standing right in front of him and was staring at him with a curious gaze.

"Don't you want to battle me and read the secrets this place holds?"

"No, I don't." Jason replied calmly.

"Weird..." Seshat stepped a bit forward until her face was only a few inches away from Jason's.

The latter felt his heartbeat increasing, not due to the fact that Seshat was a beauty who standing so close to him.

It was the strange aura being emitted by her body that made him nervous.

The aura was completely different from all the others he had sensed before.

[ This is probably the first and last time you'll see a space mage. That's why her aura feels so different. It's a whole new element you are sensing for the first time. ] The system explained.

Jason was about to ask Seshat something when she suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his back.

Seshat pulled him closer and tightly hugged, or rather, strangled him.

Jason could feel the heat from her body transferring to his own yet his mind was currently panicking.

He couldn't breathe air and his lungs felt like they were set on fire.

"Hmm, you are quite resistant to the space element. Is it because of those divinites inside you or due to something else?" Seshat muttered as she let Jason go.

The latter gasped and started taking deep breaths to reduce to the feeling of panic that had overtaken him.

"I squeezed everything out of your lungs and put it in a different place. I also created a small void near your nose to prevent you from breathing. A normal person would be lying dead on the floor right now." Seshat added after a second.

Jason wanted to scream at her and ask why the hell had she done that to him.

Unfortunately, his respiratory system was still recovering and that prevented him from shouting.

"You... are... weird..." Jason managed to say between deep breaths.

Seshat looked at him with a smile before patting his head.

"I know. That's why people call me the bookworm guardian. My life only consists of reading books, writing some of them and occasionally interacting with people."

"Sounds like a pretty boring life." Jason commented.

"You do love to speak whatever you want, huh." Seshat smiled. "I like you. You aren't like the majority of people who come here. For that, I'll give you a reward."

"Uh, thank you?" Jason replied awkwardly.

Seshat continued to maintain the smile as her right hand shot forward and grabbed Jason's hand.

In front of his eyes, Seshat lifted his right hand and placed it on her right breast...
