Guardian Of The End

[ A demi-god?! ] The monkey king's jaw dropped down. He couldn't believe his ears.

If the words had been told to him by some other person, he would have accused them of lying. But since the said person was a guardian, the monkey king didn't say her words to be false.

[ I triple-checked to make sure that I wasn't wrong. This child is a demi-god. ]

[ Then what should I do? ] The monkey asked in a slightly terrified tone. Even he knew what a demi-god was and what dangers he or she could bring.

[ I suggest you keep her with you until she turns fifteen. If her mother was a demi-human, she would've awakened her demi-human power by now.

But the reason for that and her stopped growth is something that you can't understand. Keep her healthy till the time she turns fifteen and we will come get he. Don't disclose this information or else… ] Hestia's voice trailed off.

The monkey king gulped nervously. He knew what the guardian had indicated and definitely didn't want to experience it.

[ I will obey your command. Until you come to get her, I won't let anything happen to her. ]

[ Since her powers are sealed, there is no danger to you or your community. Though why did you call her your heir if she isn't related to you? ] Hestia asked curiously.

[ its just that I am infertile… ] The monkey king lowered his head. It was hard for him to open up about his condition to others.

[ is that so? I am pretty sure that I can heal that as long as you are not cursed or have a seal placed upon your private organs. ] Hestia offered.

The guardian figured out that if she provided the monkey king some help, he will surely do the task faithfully.

[ You can do that? ] The monkey king's expression brightened.

[ Yes, I can. Now keep your mother shut and let me do my work. ] Hestia replied and closed her eyes.

She released mana from her body and let it circle around the monkey king. She made her mana enter the monkey's body through his nose.

Hestia circulated her mana throughout his body before locating the source of the problem.

Something was wrong with the monkey's mana core which didn't allow the heart to provide sufficient blood to his private regions.

'If I had to venture down there, I would have quit.' Hestia silently thought while using her mana to fix his mana core.

Even as am ex-goddess and guardian, she had her limits. Hestia was sure that she would never check the nether regions of monkeys or a lot of beasts for that matter.

The monkey king didn't know what was happening but he could feel a weird presence inside his body.

He realized that the presence was none other than Hestia's who was helping him with the help of her mana.

The monkey king closed his eyes and silently prayed to Hestia, who he regarded as the goddess of the entire monkey race.

A few minutes passed by in silence before Hestia sighed. The mana present inside the monkey's body vanished the next second.

[ I have healed you. Remember your promise. ] Hestia informed before vanishing.

The monkey king's eyes grew big before he fell to his knees. He thanked himself for going to get Jason early on.

[ I will never be able to repay you. I swear that I will protect this child with my life. ] The monkey king said to Jason.

"Good. Now can you make sure that no beast tries to attack or harass me and my classmates staying in the beginner's forest area. I would be happy if you do that." Jason stated.

[ I will make sure that every beast in the region knows that. There are only two beasts stronger than me in this region but once they know that the guardian of Animolis is your guardian, they will not attack you as well. ]

p "Good," Jason nodded and walked towards the door.

[ Thank you for all the things you did.] The monkey king said one last time before Jason moved out of the room.

The silver-haired boy first arrived at the previous room and stored the berries in his dagger.

After that, he went out of the house and started making his way back to the group. He had to use the system's help in order to do that.

'Hestia, tell me more about demi-gods. If I remember correctly, those at Black(Myriad) rank are also referred to as Demi-gods?' Jason inquired.

[ Those are also called demi-gods which basically means half god and half something else, similar to how demi-human means half human and half beast.

Demi-gods are halfway up the step to become a god however, the word is also used to refer to a being who is born from the sexual activities of a god and a mortal. ] Hestia paused.

'That girl is half god?!' Jason's jaw dropped and he had to slow down to steady himself. "Doesn't that make her overpowered since she is already a demi-god?!'

[ Not necessarily. Since they are still half mortal, they have to level up similarly to other living beings. However, their progress is a hundred times faster and they are almost guaranteed to reach the demi-god stage.

Also, they contained the divinity of their godly parent. This makes them have the same level of power you have. ] Hestia explained further.

[ Don't forget that two of your divinities are still not active since you already had a major divinity. ] The system reminded.

[ Anyways, demi-gods have to face one serious problem. Once they turn five, they have to visit any temple and pray to the gods. Otherwise, the laws of the world will revert them to their infant form. ]

'Is it because they directly contain the blood of the gods?' Jason guessed.

[ Exactly. To be accepted by the world, they have to pray to their godly parent twice. This can be done only when they turn five, fifteen and twenty five.

If they don't pray at two of these occasions, the world will absorb their soul. The mortal parent is responsible for getting the child to pray at five years but… ]

'Her mother was in a bad condition.' Jason finished.

[ We gotta help that child. ] Hestia said at last. [ If I can't save a demi-god, I am not qualified to be a goddess again. ]

It was then that Jason realized something. Since Hestia had been a goddess, the demi-gods would be like cousins to her.

[ Gods don't have DNA but to reach that point in life, they have lost a lot of people and hardly form attractions. However, demi-gods are our spawns and we love them as the few people who are alive.

If I ever become a goddess and that child turned out to be the spawn of a god or goddess that I was close with, I won't be able to forgive myself. ] Hestia explained.

'I see…' Jason didn't know how to respond to that.

[ We will just make her know about the world, train her to control her powers and then let her go wherever she wants. But until she knows the dangers about the world, we will keep her with us. Is that fine with you? ]

'You have saved my life Hestia and we have been together since quite a long time. Of course I will help you.' Jason replied.

He increased his speed after that since the sun had started to sink. Hestia felt her heart expand in her chest due to Jason's willingness to help her.

[ Thank you, Jason… ]
