Guardian Of The End-Chapter 172 Chase Through The Sky

"Damn it…" Julian muttered when he felt two forces clashing against the sides of the palace.

The two forces tore through the entire palace before stopping right at the entrance of the room.

"Julian, you made a mistake by bringing him here." Risa's voice echoed inside the room as the doors opened up to reveal both Issac and Risa.

Julian looked at them with a displeased expression on his face yet he didn't say anything to them.

The king was well aware that if he wanted to stop the destruction of the palace and think of a way to capture Jason, he would have to call upon his full power.

"I wish Zilan was here for these moments. It would have been so easy to order him around and get all of my work done without any worries." Julian sighed exasperatedly.

Raising his right hand towards the entrance, he immediately activated the full power of his divinity. He used to it to put the contract between him and Jason's grandparents into effect.

Both Risa and Issac immediately felt something clutching around their hearts yet neither of them did anything against it.

However, the purple pen zipped past Jason and appeared in front of the couple. It touched their foreheads with its tip before returning to Jason's sides.

'The pen looks dull when compared to a few seconds ago…' Jason observed.

This could only signify that the pen had used some divine energy to do something. The effects of its move showed up in the next few second.

"It feels so good to not be restricted by any other powers." Issac muttered while flexing his shoulders.

The constraints around his and Risa's hearts had immediately vanished once the purple pen had touched their foreheads.

Neither of them had any knowledge as to what the purple object was but they knew that it was a divinity.

'I really hate when things get like this…'

Julian, on the other hand, was perched on his bed. He could no longer feel the contract between him and the old couple, meaning that something had broken the contract.

Julian figured out that it was the purple-colored divinity which did this.

'I have to gain more information about the owner of this divinity. How did he manage to counter the contract created by my patron using such a small object?'

Julian closed his eyes and focused on the connect with his patron god. Though he didn't like doing this either, he didn't have any other option left.

[ Why did you call me? ] A deep voice resonated inside his mind.

'Things have gone wrong. There is a weird purple divinity floating in front of me which liberated Issac and Risa from our contract. Not only that but it prevents me from enslaving their child.' Julian replied in a respectful manner.

[ Wait, does the object look metallic and cylindrical? ] The voice asked in a grim tone.

'Yes, it does. Do you know who the divinity belongs to, my lord?'

[ It belongs to a god named Sancus. He is the god of oaths and promises and those with his divinity can override certain contracts and prevent themselves from being enslaved. ]

'Then does that mean that all of my powers will be useless against him?'

[ Indeed. I guess I have to use your body personally to counter this divinity. Tell me everything in detail and there might be a chance that we will be able to capture all three of them. ]

'As you wish, my lord.'

Julian immediately gave up the control of his body and let his patron enter him. His veins suddenly bulged up, making Risa and Issac exchange a glance.

[ Issac, grab Jason and get out of here. He is summoning his patron. ]

[ I wish we could beat of their asses together. Unfortunately, trying to do that will only result in the same thing as last time repeating itself. Let's get out of here. ]

Once the two of them had communicated telepathically, Issac immediately grabbed Jason and dashed out of the room at blinding speed.

Risa also vanished with a bright flash of light, leaving Julian alone in the room. The king slowly opened his eyes to reveal golden glowing pupils.

"They are quite fast…" the same deep voice muttered through Julian's mouth.

Julian's patron god was currently present inside his body yet there weren't many things either of them could do.

'I should try to chase them. Once they enter Duphia's boundaries, it would be impossible to capture them.'

The god suddenly launched himself out of the room and turned into a red beam of light. The red beam of light burst through the destroyed palace walls and started heading in the direction of Duphia.

Meanwhile…

A white ray of light was shooting through the sky a few hundred kilometers away from the palace.

This white ray of light was Issac who tightly held Jason against his chest. The latter was wondering how his body was even in correct shape while moving at such a high speed.

[ Its because of your affinity with thunder and the fact that you can use the same white thunder, albeit at a much lower level. Also, hey there host! ]

'Welcome back, system.' Jason replied with a small smile.

[ Also, I think you should know that a red beam of light is following you from behind… ]

Despite the searing wind, Jason slowly turned back and tried to make things out by keeping half of his eyes closed.

He could finally see the red beam of light heading straight towards them. Jason looked up at Issac's face and was smiled to see him smiling.

'Is there something going on that I am not aware about?'

[ We reached Duphia just now. ] The system announced once they had passed over the boundaries of Duphia. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

"Eat sht, you brain dead god!" Issac shouted at the top of his lungs before landing in front of the Syrward manor.

As for the red beam of light, it immediately came in contact with a black dome which reflected it back.

It shot back at twice the speed and went towards the place it had come from, only to be seen sometime in the future…
