Guardian Of The End

Chapter 141 What Are You Both Doing Here?

In the fifth year arena…

'When will such incidents stop happening with me?' Jason questioned himself.

[ It will happen once you are no longer the protagonist. But to do that, you need multiple children so that they can be at the center of attention. ]

'I will ignore that comment.' Jason replied before looking at his surroundings.

He was back at the fifth year arena and was standing outside the dome that had been created by Albus. It was evening time and the arena was empty, except for the children present inside the dome.

,m 'System, how much time do you think has passed?'

[ No idea. ] The system replied.

Jason sighed and started searching for familiar faces inside the dome. His eyes landed on Zeke and Wade, both of whom were still undergoing the trial.

This meant that Amber and Mila had both cleared the trial before him.

'The number is still quite enormous. I would say about ten to twenty students have managed to clear the trial.'

Jason was about to walk out of the arena when two figures suddenly landed in front of him.

"Grandma? Grandpa? What are you both doing here?" Jason blinked his eyes in confusion.

His grandparents were standing in front of him with relieved expressions on their face. Issac and Risa didn't reply and simply patted his head.

[ I have a feeling that we were absent for quite some time. ] the system commented.

'Same.'

"You did a good job, Jason. You are the sixteenth person to clear the Trial of Fear. You are also the fourth person from the expert zone to do this." Risa smiled.

"Huh?" Jason frowned slightly when he realized that even though he and Amber had entered the portals together, someone had managed to clear the trial earlier than him.

"The surprising thing is that all of them are people you know. The first to clear the trial from the expert zone is the third princess of the kingdom, Mila Vancouver. The second one was Amber, the third was Orion and now, you are the fourth one to do it." Risa added.

'I wonder how Phobos separated the children into different zones. Or maybe it was done by Albus himself.'  Jason wondered silently.

"How much time has passed since I entered the trial?" he asked at last.

Issac and Risa exchanged a glance before the former replied, "Six months have passed since then."

Jason was left stunned by this. He had been expecting somewhere around a month or two months at max. Six months was a really long time he had spent inside the trial.

'This means that I am eleven years old now.' Jason glanced down at his body but noticed no visible changes.

It would still take a few years for him to change into an adult.

"Let's go somewhere more private. We will talk then." Issac said while looking around with narrowed eyes.

It looked as though he had caught someone who was spying on them.

"Hold on tightly," Issac added. "I am even worse at teleportation magic than Risa but at least I can take us to the correct place."

With a snap of his fingers, a magic circle ignited below them. Jason took Issac's warnings seriously and closed his eyes.

He also used a bit of his lightning mana to make sure that if he appeared at the top of a sky, he would be able to land a bit more easily.

[ What if we end up under the ground or perhaps underwater? ] The system questioned.

'You…'

Jason couldn't think of an appropriate response in time. The three of them were teleported out of the fifth year arena.

'Ugh…' Jason felt as though someone had locked him inside a washing machine and had set the washing machine to rotate for eternity.

When he appeared on solid ground, his eyes immediately looked for the washroom. Once he had located his destination, Jason immediately barged inside and threw up.

"Ugh…"

Issac and Risa, who were standing outside the washroom, sighed.

"Maybe we should have walked to the room." Issac muttered.

"If we had done that, who knows how many people we would have encountered." Risa countered. "Speaking of good things, we better order some food for Jason since he hasn't eaten anything for six months."

Issac nodded in agreement and left to find some food. Jason reentered the room a few minutes later with a sick expression on his face.

"I will never teleport with him again…" he muttered.

"Trust me, he doesn't want to do that either. One time Issac managed to actually swap his left and right index fingers with his little fingers. That was quite a mess to clear up…" Risa grimaced as the bad memories appeared in her mind.

"Um…" Jason on the other hand looked at his body to check whether any of his body parts had shifted.

[ everything is good, host. ] The system reassured him.

"How does teleportation magic work?" Jason questioned with a relieved expression.

"Its too complicated for you to understand right now. Once you develop some tier three skills, I will teach it to you." Risa replied.

"Um, I already have a tier three skill."

"Oh?" Risa seemed surprised with this. "Show it to me later on. There is something important that me and your grandfather have to tell you know."

Truth be told, Risa wanted to see what skill Jason had created and whether it was really a tier 3 skill or not.

Since she was someone who loved to experiment and discover things, the creation of new skills was fascinating for her.

Before either of them could say anything, Issac returned with food for Jason.

Seeing something delicious being brought towards him, Jason drooled. He hungrily ate the food, making Risa and Issac smile.

"How did I… manage to survive… six months… without food?" Jason asked between fights.

"As Albus might have told you, the interior of the dome replenishes your nutrients with the help of mana. Though not eating leaves a small change in your body. You are just a bit slimmer now." Risa explained.

She and Issac then waited for Jason to finish his food which didn't take long. Once he was done, he looked at both of the with a curious expression.

"What are you both doing here?" he asked the same question again.

"Well, we knew that you were facing the trial of fear and didn't really intend to come here. But once we learned that you were directly going to enter the chamber of Rebirth without clearing two more trials, we had to come here." Issac explained.

"We are here to tell you about," Risa said in a grim voice, "the infinite loop that is present in the Rebirth chamber. If you are not careful, you might get stuck there for infinity."
