Jason immediately reappeared inside his room and jumped towards the runes. Once he had activated them, he went back to the lab.
"Looks like you found her." Risa commented the moment she saw him.
She had just finished cleaning the last man and was simply waiting for Jason to return. His expression was enough for her to guess that he had found Amber and that she was in some kind of danger.
"I did and she is about to be attacked by what looked like the king's people," Jason said in a hurry. "Do you think we can reach her?"
"Well, if you have found her, we can easily reach there. I can try teleportation formation but you know that we will end up a bit far from her. Are you ready to go get her?' Risa questioned back.
"I am."
"Then come stand here and channel the location to me using telepathy. Just send an image of the place and I will do the rest of the work."
Jason did as told and walked to stand beside Risa. He tuned in to the telepathy radio, a name he had come up with on the spot.
'I wonder if she can even get us close to that location…' Jason silently wondered before channeling the image to Risa.
The latter immediately started drawing runes on the floor. It took a minute for Risa to complete the teleportation formation but once it was done, both her and Jason vanished from their spots.
"Looks similar to that area." Risa muttered once they had appeared in their new area.
Jason and Risa were currently surrounded by thick palm trees on both sides. For some reason, the morning light still hadn't hit the place, making it appear dark as though it was still night.
"Let me see how far we are from her…" Jason muttered before expanding his senses throughout the area.
Now that he was much closer to Amber than before, Jason could immediately feel her popping up into his domain.
His head jerked towards the east before looking back at Risa.
"Let's go. Risa ordered before turning into particles of light and rushing forward.
Jason activated his white thunder and jumped forward as well. Using the connection, he guided himself towards Amber's location.
'System, can grandma sense the lives of others?' Jason asked randomly.
[ There is a chance that she might be able to do that though I haven't sensed her doing the same with us. ]
'I see…'
It took Jason barely three minutes to get to the lake where he had seen Amber. The connection he had been using disappeared, making him frown.
[ It doesn't give you the exact location. Once you are one kilometer away from the specific vessel, the signal vanishes. This happens to make sure that the auras of the two guardians don't clash.
If that happens, it can lead to degradation of senses and things like that. You don't have that much area to cover up so things are going to be pretty easy. ] Hestia explained.
Jason nodded before looking around to see any signs of Amber or the men. However, before he could move, the entire lake in front of him erupted like a volcano.
A tornado made from pure red flames appeared in the middle of the lake, evaporating the water at an alarming rate.
Hovering at the tip of the tornado was a young girl with red hair and glowing orange eyes. She was none other than Amber who was currently glaring at figures emerging from underneath the water.
'Did they just take her underwater to fight her?' Jason thought with a frown.
Though on second thought, it made much more sense to fight a magma mage under the water instead of fighting them on land.
[ Jason, release as much of you thunder that you can without getting noticed by others. I have a feeling that you might need to dodge some of the attacks that will be thrown in this direction. ] Hestia suggested.
Jason used more of his thunder as he had noticed that the look in Amber's eyes was similar to someone on the verge of breaking down.
He carefully stepped back and watched the fire flicker around Amber's body. The people sent by the king to capture Amber looked at her with guarded expressions yet it was clear that they had anticipated this.
[ She is currently in a very traumatized phase. The divinity inside her is like an ocean during a storm. Its extremely chaotic and if she releases all that power, I am sure that not even these highly trained professionals can live to see the daylight… ]
Once he had heard her words, Jason used his vision to personally see the divine energy. Unlike May, whose body was emitting divine energy at a dangerous rate, Amber's body was emitting low amounts of energy.
It was almost negligible yet if she had a ton more of the same energy stored inside her divinity things would get a lot tougher.
[ Just let things be. I tried contacting her guardian but she isn't responding. I have a feeling that we might just get to see a brilliant fight in front of us. ]
'Aren't we supposed to prevent things like this from happening or am I remembering the wrong thing?'
[ Nah, we are just going to let her get all of it out. Even Risa agrees with this. ]
Jason looked around with a surprised expression just to see Risa standing a few meters away from him.
Her face remained expressionless yet her eyes were completely focused on Amber. If she wanted, she could have ended the fight pretty easily but for some reason, Risa remained fixed on her spot.
'I guess it is better to sometimes let it all out…'
Jason turned his gaze towards the tornado again, wondering what Amber's next move was going to be.
The ones sent to hunt her were also wondering the same thing. Their numbers ranged between ten to fifteen, which might have seen like an overkill if Amber wasn't a vessel.
All of a sudden the tornado expanded over the entire lake, covering all the experts in its burning flames.
Unfortunately, Julian had used his brain while sending the forces. All those who had come to capture Amber shot out of the tornado while being surrounded by water shields.
'Wait, those are definitely burn marks…' Jason noticed that many of them actually had burn marks on their arms.
[ They were caused by their own shields. Amber controlled her flames in a way to make sure that the water didn't evaporate yet still turned hot enough to cause some serious damage. ]
'That's one way to use someone's powers against themselves.'
Jason continued to watch the fight. The water mages all released attacks simultaneously in hopes of extinguishing the tornado at once.
Yet Amber was currently in a different realm. She raised both of her hands forward and shot two tornadoes out of them.
They combined together before expanding in the form of a firewall, reminding Jason of the move that Amber's twin had used a few years back.
All of the incoming water attacks came in contact with the firewall, evaporating the moment the fire touched them.
Half of the water mages shot from their spots, water droplets trailing behind them. Arrows of water formed around their bodies and attacked Amber from various directions.
The remaining group all started performing hand signs and in less than five seconds, they had conjured up three water dragons in front of them.
The water dragons shot straight towards Amber who still hadn't moved from her spot. Shockingly, both the arrows and the dragons hit her at point blank range.
They threw her backwards, making both the water mages and Jason feel confused. Amber hadn't resisted one bit and simply had let herself fly back.
Risa was the only person present there who didn't question what Amber had done. Her eyes were grim as she stared at the direction Amber had been thrown in.
'It should be happening now…'
The moment the thought entered Risa's mind, a huge explosion took place in the spot Amber had landed in.
The ground started rumbling and cracking apart. Jason's eyes widened when he sensed the amount of divine energy leaking out of Amber's body.
He immediately took off into the air and summoned the purple pen, which was Sancus's divinity.
'How do I take some divine energy out of this?'
[ Just focus on the object. You should be sensing the divine energy soon. ] Hestia replied since she understood what Jason was planning to do.
He immediately focused on the pen and soon enough, divine energy started coming out of it. Jason controlled the divine energy as though it was an extension of his body.
He made it move towards his body and wrapped himself in it. The moment he did that, the divine energy from Amber's body shot out in the form of a wave, knocking everything back.
Risa watched this with a grim expression while clenching her fist.
'If only I could have saved Ariana…'
