Guardian Of The End-Chapter 154 I Am Bursting Into Particles Of Light

"Well, thats two down." Jason sighed. He sat up and flexed his neck a bit. "If either of you feel like you are turning into particles of light, do tell me beforehand."

"I don't think we will have time to tell that. After all, the process seems to be instantaneous." Orion noted. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"I was just joking." Jason stood up and looked at towards the North. "The predators are on the move. Evening will soon go and night will come. We will have to find a shelter before that."

"Preferably a shelter where we don't get infested by monkeys." Amber coughed lightly.

"I guess we can manage that." Jason smiled.

Orion didn't understand what the two of them were talking about. After all, he hadn't been with them during the survival exercise.

'Why am I interested in it in the first place?' he questioned himself. 'I don't need to know about other people's things unless they concern me or are of political importance.'

Orion had heard enough non sense in his house that he had alienated himself from such stuff.

If he didn't find anything of interest, he would no longer listen to that. This was a good thing considering how his mother, father and step-father were continuously bickering.

Even when Brian had moved out, Orion hadn't been able to get some rest.

'Focus, bish! You are not getting distracted by such things in the middle of the forest.' Orion scolded himself and tried to empty his mind.

On the other hand, Jason was discussing something important with the system.

[ Hestia isn't moving or anything. I tried looking at her directly but some kind of force surrounding the temple repelled me. ] The system reported.

'Hmm, we still need to reach Hestia and help her. She did say that once we reach the forest, she will come back. That doesn't seem to be working…'

[ Maybe we have to reach some specific part of the forest? Speaking of that, do you remember that beast which you talked with during the trial of fear? ]

'I do remember that. It also asked me to bring Orion and Amber along with me.' Jason suddenly paused. 'Both of whom are walking behind me.' 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

[ Sounds like the perfect moment for something to go wrong. ]

'Well, you jinxed it. Now something will definitely go wrong.'

Jason stopped walking and held up his hand. Orion and Amber watched this with confused expressions as he raised three fingers.

"Three… two… one…" Jason muttered while keeping his eyes open.

Since nothing seemed to be happening, he started stretching the count. "Zero point nine… Zero point eight, zero point seven, zero point six, zero point five…"

BOOM!

An explosion suddenly took place beneath their feet, dragging them under the ground. Jason said zero at this moment and used his thunder to get to the surface.

Amber pushed upwards with her fire, using it like a jetpack.

'Great, I am left out once again.' Orion sighed mentally.

The only way he could push himself upwards was by using something as a support for his feet. He would channel his mana to his feet and increase his jumping ability.

Using that, he would be able to jump at what someone might call an inhumane level. If he controlled his weight as well, he could almost fly like a bird, except he would have to flap his hands.

'Maybe the chamber of rebirth will reincarnate me. Hopefully, it will be in a better place where I won't be left behind.'

Just as Orion was about to get buried under the Earth, he felt something wrapping around his arm.

His eyes widened when he saw that Jason had shot a whip made of darkness and had wrapped it around his arm.

Amber too had helped him by bringing a somewhat stable piece of land below his feet. This allowed Jason to grab a hold of him without pulling his shoulder out.

"Orion, maybe try helping us a bit?" Jason raised an eyebrow.

Orion shook his head to clear his thoughts before using his secondary element, the life element, to lighten his weight.

The way he did it was by decreasing the force of attraction his body felt. With enough practice, he could suspend himself in air but it couldn't be done instantly.

"Phew." Jason sighed in relief. "You are heavier than you look."

"Can I ask you something?" Orion questioned in a low tone.

"Go ahead."

"Why did you both save me?"

"Maybe a thank you in its place would be nice." Amber muttered.

"Or perhaps something like "I am grateful for your help" would be nice." Jason mused. "Do we really need a reason to save you?"

"People do things with a reason or some kind of goal in mind. No one just does something without a bigger goal." Orion replied with narrowed eyes.

"That's one way to think," Jason muttered. "But sometimes, people just do what I want. I don't need a reason or a motive to save someone or kill someone. What I see and what I have understood are the two things I act on.

Nobody has the time to think of the future during such moments, unless you are an overthinker. Its too much."

Jason couldn't help but remember the time he had spent on Earth. His thinking had been similar to Orion's.

Once he had reincarnated and had experienced numerous new things, Jason slowly changed. Currently, he could define himself as a handsome magnet for trouble who seemed to attract all kinds of beings.

"I see…" Orion murmured.

Though he felt weird, Orion could tell that he had just made a breakthrough in the field called development.(AN: character development ahem.)

"Hmm, we will talk about it back in the real world." Orion said with a confident expression.

"We can talk about it now too." Amber pointed out. Even though her knowledge on the topic, if there was a topic at all, was low, she felt she could add some points as well.

"Nah, I am bursting into particles of light." Orion smiled.

His body suddenly changed to particles of light and flew to the sky before vanishing. Only Jason and Amber remained inside the chamber of rebirth
