Guardian Of The End

"Great, now we have to deal with this guy as well. Can't we just face one problem at a time?" Issac groaned as he was being pressed down towards the ground.

However, Issac still stood straight with his head raised towards the magic circle. His body wanted to lie down on the ground but with sheer force of will, he remained standing.

"What should be do know? The only way we can win is be countering that magic circle. Wade and Ray are the strongest wind mages at our disposal but I am doubtful whether they can counter that spell. It looks like a customized tier 5 spell.

As for Briana, I am afraid that we have no choice except leaving her to Jason, May and Amber. I will tell them to go all out and to avoid Julian at all costs. Let's defeat Gon first." Risa explained the battle plan.

She transmitted the same to Jason and the others. Ray and Wade were specifically told to study the effects of the circle for a few minutes before creating a counter for it.

"Do you think they can do it?" Issac asked while rotating his wrists.

"I am not exactly sure. Maybe they succeed by using their brains and asking help from the Azure dragon. It depends on their coordination. As for the trio, they should be able to handle things well." Risa explained.

"Then let's get rid of this metal guy." Issac grinned.

"We should use more of our power as well since we haven't gotten completely loose for some time." Risa smiled and cracked her knuckles.

Together, the couple shot forward in the form of a ray of light and a thunderbolt.

"So, any idea what we are supposed to do about that?" Ray asked awkwardly while looking at Wade.

"My spirit says that its a customized tier 5 spell crafted by the god inside Julian's body," Wade explained. "My spirit says that he will take the spell off if I offer him my arm permanently."

"Let's not go into the sacrificial mode yet. The spell doesn't seem to be doing any harm anyways…" Ray facepalmed. "I just jinxed us, didn't I?"

"Judging from the glow on the circle, you sure did." Wade commented.

The magic circle was glowing bright silver as Briana chanted something from above. No one could decipher her words but the pressure below the magic circle started increasing.

It was no longer bearable and even Ray had to bend himself a little. Wade simply summoned his spirit and asked him to protect him from the pressure.

"If I die here due to high pressure, you will die as well and I don't think you want to die such a painful and senseless death." Wade reminded the Azure dragon.

The Azure dragon made a clicking disappointed sound before glaring at the magic circle. A counter forcefield appeared on top of Wade's head which started countering the effects of the circle.

"He says he is only going to do this for me and not for all of us. He says that if we can figure out the way to use this skill, we will be able to counter the effects of the spell to some certain level." Wade explained while standing straight.

He moved a bit closer to Ray as the latter felt the pressure slowly vanishing. He looked above them to see the outline of a forcefield countering the pressure.

"How is this possible though? Is that forcefield making changes in the pressure or deflecting the pressure back?" Ray wondered aloud.

Wade stared at the forcefield for a few seconds before remembering something that he had learned from his caretakers.

"Dragons have a way of changing the pressure by controlling the winds. Any above average wind mage can also do it if they compress the air in the right way to fight against the pressure." Wade informed.

"Let me think about it…"

Together, the two wind mages started brainstorming different ways to fight against the high pressure released by the magic circle.

"We are the ones who are going to fight them." Jason stated aloud.

Risa had just informed the three of them about the plan and how they were basically going to buy time until Risa and Issac could come to help.

[ Where is Karna currently? ] Jason asked curiously.

[ He is out of town. I sent him on a special mission to make sure that we have a chance at winning this war. ] Risa explained.

Jason nodded and slowly released the restrictions placed upon him. The first thing he did was to infuse divine energy with his thunder to increase his speed by multiple times.

Amber, who was still feeling tired, didn't use her divine energy and simply called upon her magma element.

May, being a demi-god, used divine energy as her main power source instead of mana. She was holding Ruyi Jingu Bang in her hand and was riding on top of Kwinto's smaller form.

Her eyes were burning with a rage caused by Briana's appearances. Jason was sure that if he didn't make May hold back, she might damage herself by trying to capture Briana.

[ May, please don' overexert yourself. You still don't have the perfect control over your powers and might get hurt. Its best if you use your powers with limits. ] Jason explained telepathically.

However, May didn't reply to his explanation, making him sigh. It was pretty obvious that she was going to use everything she had in order to capture Briana and interrogate her.

The only thing Jason could do was make her job easier so that they would be able to capture Briana without facing many problems.

"Well, desperate times call for desperate measures." Jason sighed before calling Hestia beside him.

It was only due to their guardians that Jason and Amber were able to negate the effects of the pressure weighing them down.

Hestia and Flamey were taking on the entire pressure by themselves since it was much easier for them to bare the pressure.

"Jason, Amber, please don't try to get in my way. I just want to find out how she is related to my mother." May requested before shooting herself towards the magic circle.

"Wait, isn't that the same girl we were discussing about?" Julian asked his patron.

But before Galirius could reply, May brought her staff down on Briana's head. The latter raised her weapon in defense and somehow managed to block the staff.

"Divine weapon…" Briana commented in a surprised tone.

She hadn't expected to see a divine weapon on the battlefield, especially one as strong as the one she was blocking.

"How did you get your hands on that divine weapon, child?" Julian asked in a respectful manner.

For some reason, he felt like if he tried getting the girl in front of him to his side, things will proceed more smoothly.

"Go fk yourself. Let me deal with your daughter for the time being." May advanced on Kwinto and kicked Briana in the gut.

Briana was taken by surprise since she hadn't anticipated May to have such high speed. She was sent flying towards the ground and May went after her.

Julian looked at this with a weird expression before he decided to go help his daughter. Enslaving the girl was definitely going to be useful to him.

"You are not going there." Jason interrupted by appearing in front of Julian.

With Hestia and Flamey's help, Jason and Amber were able to cross to the other side of the magic circle, which was also acting like a barrier.

"You are annoying. You never fight head on and always manage to avoid being hit. Even your grandfather is a better fighter." Julian said in an irritated voice.

"Isn't that your fault that you can't capture him?" Amber asked while casually tossing a magma ball the size of an elephant at Julian.

"I like playing balls but not with that kind of balls." Julian raised his right hand and cut the magma ball in two equal halves.

In the blink of an eye, he reduced the two halves to ashes and left nothing behind. Amber sighed when she saw this.

'Flamey, you are right. He certainly does feel more powerful and judging from that display, I don't think I will even be able to damage him. Even if I use divine energy, I won't be a match to him.'

[ The only way for you to have a good chance against him is if you truly combine with me. But by doing that, I will vanish for a few days and you won't be able to access my powers and the benefits I provide. ] Flamey reminded.

'I know. But can't we fight like them?' Amber pointed towards Jason and Hestia.

Both of them were turning into bolts of thunder and were rapidly striking against Julian's abdomen. The latter tried to deflect them or hit them with his hands but their speed far outshone his.

[ Those two are… ] Flamey suddenly trailed off as a realization struck her. [ Oh sht…]
