Guardian Of The End

Chapter 220 Flames Of Succubus

"Which trial would I be doing next?" Jason asked.

"Depends on which of the sins is free but I guess you will most likely be going with Xavier. He should be free soon to take you and Amber with him." Diana informed.

"Then can we go and see what she is doing?"

"Sure. Astryn told me to do that as well since she sai that it might appear helpful to you. Something to with visionary ability and theories."

"Right…"

Jason wondered whether Astryn had wanted to tell Diana about his vision ability. However, the question was, how did she know about it in the first place?

Diana guided Jason through the hallways again and this was the first time he got to see the entirety of it.

However, his attention was instantly pulled away by the maids and butlers roaming around.

"Is it me or are their outfits are a bit too… revealing?" Jason questioned as he saw a maid wearing a dress exposing her cleavage.

"Things are like that here. Each of the family members of the sins get inflicted by something related to their sins. My family feels urges of lust from time to time where they only think with their lower halves." Diana sighed. "Its annoying to see them like that."

"But aren't you the sin of lust? Do you also get urges like that?"

"No, I don't. As long as I have this ring with me, I can control my urges and also prevent myself from going on a rampage with my powers." Diana pointed at the silver ring which was once again back on her finger.

Jason stared at it for a few seconds before averting his gaze. What happened inside the trial was definitely going to stay inside his mind for some time.

The sin of lust finally took him through one last turn before they reached a staircase leading towards the basement.

"The steps are a little slippery so make sure you walk carefully." Diana warned while descending the stairs.

Jason took her warning seriously and immediately jumped down the entire staircase. Diana looked at this with a surprised expression before smiling.

"Take a left and enter the room with the silver gate. Amon and Amber should be inside." She gave the directions while continuing her slow descent.

'At least it's not a black door.' Jason turned the silver door open and stepped inside.

He was immediately blasted by an extremely hot wave which left a few scorch marks on his face.

Jason immediately used his dark element to surround himself before taking care of the burn marks. His skin had already started healing itself while the barrier was protecting him from similar attacks.

"Before stepping inside a room, at least get the details of what is happening inside." Amon suggested as he appeared right beside Jason.

"Blame Diana for that."

Jason's eyes scanned the room and saw Amber standing in the center of it. In front of her was a black jewel emitting an extreme amount of heat.

When Jason switched to his mana vision, he was shocked to see the amount of fire mana present inside the jewel.

"This much mana can surround an entire kingdom at once!" he exclaimed.

"I know. That jewel is called the 'jewel of passion' which was created by extracting the lustful energy of hundreds of succubi in heat. Unfortunately, this can only be controlled by a magma mage at a high level," Amon paused. "In other words, someone like Amber."

"Please don't tell me that she is battling the passionate heat of succubus…" Jason murmured.

"In a much-summarized version, yes. If she can tame those flames and absorb them, she will be able to use true black flames, otherwise known as Hellflames. Astryn is the only other person who I know can use the normal version of black flames."

"I think she taught Amber how to use them as well. Oh look, Amber is already using them." Jason pointed out at the tornado of flames Amber had just created.

It was created using magma element except the normal flames had been replaced by the black flames.

"She can tame those flames I guess." Amon muttered with an expressionless face.

Both of them saw the jewel emit a similar tornado, one made from complete black flames. The two clashed while Amber vanished from her spot.

She appeared directly behind the jewel and encompassed it inside a magma prison. The jewel couldn't move from its location, allowing Amber to touch it with her right index finger.

She sent a twinge of her own version of black flames inside the jewel before pulling back. A thread of sorts was now connecting her with the jewel, allowing her to suck in the energy directly from the inside of the jewel.

Jason observed this closely with his mana vision, wondering whether Amber's body could handle all this energy.

He kept a close look on her body and was about to shout to tell her that she had reached her limit when something shocking happened.

A divine beacon suddenly shone inside her body, sucking the remainder of the fire mana inside it.

The beacon was clearly a divinity which was now shining brightly inside Amber's body like a soul.

[ Divinity holders can easily tell whether the other person has a divinity or not. Its even easier for you since you only have to use your vision and control it to check whether the other person has a divinity or not. ] Hestia explained.

Jason nodded absentmindedly as he was comparing the power of the divinity with his own. It was definitely stronger than Sancus's divinity, yet it failed in comparison to Erebus's divinity, which was the system.

[ I am one- ]

'Of a kind.' Jason finished. 'I know.'

The system chuckled before falling silent. Amber on the other hand was taking deep breaths since the energy inside the black jewel was about to run out.

Her body was also reaching its limit, but she managed to hold on until the last drop of fire mana had vanished from the jewel.

Its color slowly started fading before turning to that of a plain unpolished ruby. The jewel hit the ground and sank inside it, probably to recharge its own energy.

Amber on the other hand knelt on the ground while panting. Jason appeared beside her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

'I haven't tried this before so let's see if it works.'

Jason transmitted some of his light mana to his hand and tried replenishing Amber's energy. It seemed to work to a certain extent as Amber's complexion turned a bit normal.

"Thank you…" she whispered before pulling herself up with Jason's support.

"You shouldn't try to make any quick movements just in case the energy inside you decides to refute." Jason suggested. "Its best if you take things slow."

"All right. Lend me your shoulder to walk then." Amber replied.

Jason simply nodded and took Amber back to the door. Amon and Diana were watching the duo with amused expressions but didn't make any remarks.

"Congratulations, you have unlocked the ability to use hellflames. Many demons will be ready to kill for that ability. In fact, I won't be surprised if a few humans will try to do that as well." Diana congratulated.

"That's one way to motivate someone…" Amber snorted. "Now what are we gonna do?"

"About that…" Amon exchanged a look with Diana. "We have to go back. Julian and his patron are currently standing outside Duphia and demanding that you both should be handed over to them.
