Chapter 256 Galirius Maximus!

"So you both defeated Gale while we dealt with Albus. That's two major people out of the race." Issac commented. "Wasn't this kinda easy?'

Currently, Issac, Risa, Jason and Amber were standing on the same spot where Albus had created the magic circle.

It was extremely close to completion but now that its creator was gone, it had faded out. However, the magic circle was still present on the ground.

"Why do I have the feeling that those two were just here for time pass and distraction?" Risa wondered aloud. "I don't know about you both but me and Amber had to use a bit more of our powers."

"On our end, Jason handled Albus's dragon and then I simply killed him so it was fairly easy. Why don't you use your life magic to recover your as well as Amber's energy?"

"I don't feel safe using life magic on Amber since she is exhausted by too much usage of divine energy. My magic might react inside her body, creating even more problems." Risa explained.

"I see. Then what about Hiro? Did he tell you anything about what will happen now?" Issac asked with a serious expression.

"That's the problem. He isn't responding to my messages. I asked Zilan to contact him but he isn't responding to Zilan either." Risa sighed. "I have a feeling that this is the farthest he will go for us."

"Hmm…"

While Issac and Risa were discussing what else they were going to do to end the war, Jason was hearing Amber's account on using divine energy.

"It felt much superior to my normal magic. It was as if I was using some sort of otherworldly thing to fight." Amber muttered with a dazed expression.

"Technically, it is an otherworldly thing but meh." Jason shrugged before blinking in confusion.

Amber was staring at him in a weird way without realizing it. Her eyes were slightly wider than normal and a lost expression was visible on her face.

[ Damn, they are reminding me of the time when we were in love during school time. ] Risa said to Issac through telepathy.

[ Except I was more denser than Jason. Look, he already understood what is happening.]

After talking to the system, it didn't take long for Jason to figure out what was happening. He coughed lightly and waved his right hand in front of Amber's eyes.

"Zone back in, Amber. The fight is not over yet."

"I wish it would be over soon so we won't have to deal with it. There are other things that I would rather experience." Amber said with a dazed expression.

Risa and Issac couldn't help but chuckle after hearing the duo's conversation. However, this moment didn't last for long.

"According to what I believe, this war will be over soon." A young shrill voice entered their ears.

With a sigh, the quartet lifted their heads towards the sky to see a young ten year old grinning at them.

The ten year old was completely bald and was wearing red robes covering his body from neck to toe. The royal family's symbol was etched on the back of the robes.

"Gon…" Issac muttered in an irritated tome. "I should have known that Julian would send you here to specifically annoy me."

"If you knew it beforehand, why didn't you call me out?" Gon smiled.

"I take it he is not really ten years old." Jason commented.

"He is around the same age as me and your grandpa. Don't judge people based on their appearances since things can get pretty complicated." Risa explained.

Without saying a word to the trio, Issac suddenly launched himself towards Gon. Black thunder wrapped around his body as he punched Gon in the face.

However, a piece of metal suddenly appeared in front of Gon's face and blocked Issac's punch. A smile appeared on Gon's face as he punched forward.

Metal wrapped around his fist and covered it completely. Issac easily dodged it by moving back at a high speed.

"The reason Issac is annoyed by Gon is because he can perfectly counter Issac. Gon's magic is considered a mutation of Earth magic, a blessing directly given to him by patron." Risa informed.

[ A blessing is a special ability or talent handed to a person by a god. Some gods with limited number of divinities to hand out prefer giving blessings instead of divinities. They stay with a person from the moment they are born. ] The system added.

[ My gift of different forms of thunder to you would have been considered a blessing if I was a goddess. ]

"This fight will likely end up with Gon getting a slight edge over Issac. I better go and fight alongside him before things get out of hand." Risa sighed and launched upwards.

She and Issac were blurs in the sky as they directly aimed at landing a physical blow on Gon's body.

Like a literal child, Gon kept on giggling and blocking their attempts at hitting him. The metals he conjured somehow seemed to block every single hit without breaking.

"Do you think we should help?" Amber asked.

"I don't think there is anything we can do. Judging from how they are fighting, I think there is only one specific way to defeat that guy." Jason shared.

[ You are correct. Both of you should instead go and help those at the borders. Zilan is telling that things are getting out of control. Also, find May again. ]

"She promised she would only go out for five minutes…" Jason sighed.

May had told him that she would go out of the barrier and take a look around Duphia for five minutes.

"You will know if anything goes wrong with her so there's no need to worry. Let's go find her." Amber pointed towards the edge of the barrier.

The two of them disappeared from their spots and appeared outside the barrier. Jason immediately located May and found her fighting against thousands of men who had been chasing after some archers.

"She is holding back." Jason observed.

May was only hitting a few guys at a time and had an expressionless face. Jason could tell that she was actually controlling her anger to make sure she didn't go on a rampage.

"Something wrong must have happened to make her that angry." Amber commented.

She had also gotten to know the basics of May's nature by staying with her and Jason for this much time.

"Let me go help her. We will ask her for details later on." Jason informed and went to help May.

White thunder was wrapped around his body while he used arrows made of dark element to easily kill numerous warriors at once.

May blinked in surprise when she saw Jason dropping them so quickly without injuring the archers from their side.

[ Thank you. ] May said telepathically.

[ Why were you so angry? ] Jason asked while dropping down more of them.

[ I sensed a very familiar aura which triggered my memories of the time moments after my birth. I remember it so clearly that it was almost unbelievable… ] May's expression turned dejected.

[ We will talk about this later. ]

Jason and may together killed all the warriors while Amber helped the archers get to safety.

Once the last warrior had been killed, Jason and Amber gathered near May and asked her for the details.

The latter took a few deep breaths before explaining what had triggered her memories.

"When I was taking a look around Duphia, I sensed a familiar aura. When I went to investigate it, I saw that princess from earlier."

"Briana." Jason muttered.

"Yes, I saw her. I thought that I found the aura familiar due to that but I was wrong. Seeing her and sensing her aura for a few seconds triggered my memories of the past. I had sensed that very same aura moments after being born…" May's voice trailed off.

Jason and Amber exchanged a glance after hearing that. If what May said was true, it meant that Briana had been chasing after May's mother.

"The Red-Butt Money king said that your mother was injured when she left you there in the forest. Could it be possible that Julian had sent his men after her to get to you?" Jason wondered aloud.

His mind was working overtime to figure out whether his theory was correct or not. However, the truth could only be told by Briana or Julian.

"I don't know. That's why I want to capture her and ask her this in person." May stated. "I don't know why but my blood started boiling the second I remembered this."

"I…" Jason was about to say something when he suddenly felt something weighing him down.

"Galirius Maximus!" Briana's voice suddenly echoed around the entire town as a white magic circle expanded over the entire town.

Standing on top of the magic circle were Briana and Julian. The latter had a smug expression on his face as he saw everyone below the circle being weighed down by its magic power.

"I told you I would come for you. Hello, my slaves."
