Guardian Of The End

Jason returned home with the metal cube placed inside his storage. He directly headed towards the kitchen and slumped down on the chair.

"You seem tired more than usual," Risa remarked before passing Jason his food.

"I finally mastered the usage of green thunder at the amateur level. I crafted this with its help." Jason took out the meta cube and placed it on the table.

Risa eyed it with a curious look before patting Jason\'s head. She then walked out of the room and started heading towards the lab.

\'Show me the information on green thunder now.\'

< Green Thunder: Green thunder is the crafty type of thunder. With the help of this thunder, one can mold thunder into any desired shape without fearing the leakage of charges or uncertain destruction. >

Jason glanced over the information in a few seconds before sighing. The information failed to tell how hard it was for someone to master the thunder to a level where they could use it without letting it run wild.

[ This is just a small summary and indicator to tell that you have successfully unlocked the power and can use it on command. ] The system commented.

\'I know.\'

Jason quickly ate his food and went to the lab to continue his training. Much to his surprise, Risa wasn\'t the only person present in the lab.

"Today is the day when I will wake her up." Risa said the moment she saw Jason.

Amber was currently lying on a bed near her. Her skin had many blisters spread across at uneven distances.

Her face also looked pale and her body had thinned out since the last time Jason had saw her.

"If I don\'t wake her up today, her body will slowly stop doing certain things. The divine energy that she used didn\'t completely leave her body so she will have to manually throw it out right now if she wants to have a normal body," Risa explained in a concerned voice.

She had already lost one of her dearest friends, Ariana, to something similar to divine energy.

Risa wasn\'t planning on losing another person due to the same reason. Fortunately, the barriers on her powers were a bit more loose and she could use magic she formerly couldn\'t.

"Is there anything I can do?" Jason asked with a serious expression.

"The only thing you have to do is to counter the waves of divine energy that might escape her body. To do that, you will have to use some of your own divine energy." Risa instructed.

Jason nodded and closed his eyes. He could feel Sancus\'s divinity inside him, waiting for the right moment to be called upon.

[ You can generate attacks using divine energy. Just call upon the pen, infuse a bit of the energy with your mana and counter the incoming divine energy waves with it. ]

\'You make it sound so easy…\'

Jason opened his eyes and nodded towards Risa. The latter nodded back and approached the bed.

Touching Amber\'s face, Risa slowly started stabilizing Amber\'s body. She also cut off some of her pain receptors to make sure that the red-haired girl wouldn\'t feel the entire intensity of the pain.

"I am going to wake her up." Risa warned before sending her life mana inside Amber\'s body.

The latter\'s eyes immediately flew open, taking in the ceiling.

"Where?" Amber asked in a hoarse voice. She tried sitting up yet her entire body suddenly went still.

A wave of pain hit her abdomen, making her clutch her stomach with a groan. Risa looked at Jason and gave him a small nod.

"Amber, I know you can listen to me. Just let the pain slip away from your body. Think of it leaving your body and entering the surroundings." Risa instructed.

Amber gritted her teeth and did as instructed. She thought the pain to be leaving her body and much to her surprise, it worked.

Red energy invisible to the naked eye started leaking out of her body. Fortunately, both Jason and Risa had their respective skills to help them see the red divine energy.

"Do it now!" Risa exclaimed.

Jason immediately spun into action. He called upon the divine energy of the purple men while summoning his dark element.

Though he originally planned to use thunder, Jason realized that using the dark element was a much safer alternative.

Not only would the corrosive property would help him, he could control it much easily. Also, in case anything went wrong, Jason knew he could cut off the dark element more easily than thunder.

[ Be careful. Divine energy can make attacks more charged than normal. ] Hestia warned.

Her words turned out to be true as Jason manifested a whip of darkness. The whip shone brightly and with a single swing, Jason was able to cut through it like butter.

\'Wait, what exactly does this do? Didn\'t I just divide the divine energy?\'

[ It doesn\'t work that way. The separated part will mix with the natural mana of the area. You just have to keep doing the same thing over and over again. ]

Jason raised his eyebrows in surprise but didn\'t say anything. He simply kept on cutting the divine energy without any care.

He had no idea how much time passed by in this manner. He only stopped once Risa stepped back with a relieved expression on her face.

"You can rest now. Her body expelled all of the excessive divine energy." Risa informed.

Jason glanced at Amber who was lying on the bed with a peaceful expression. Her eyes were shut close and a lot of sweat had accumulated throughout her body.

"She will wake up in half an hour or so. Why don\'t you go get refreshed?"

Jason nodded and teleported back to his room with the help of the runes. He took his time getting refreshed, wondering about a lot of things side by side.

Once he was done, he reappeared in the lab and sat near the edge of the bed.

There were a lot of things he wanted to talk to Amber about…
