Awe and Fear.

Those were the only two things Jason could feel when Amon flared up a bit of his divinity.

The woman as well as every other demon present in the area sank to their knees and started screaming.

Their hands reached for their throats and they started squeezing them tightly as if they wanted to die.

"What a frightening power..." Amber murmured from beside Jason.

The two teenagers could only watch the demons strangle themselves. At that moment, neither of them felt like doing anything.

"We went away for half an hour and you started killing demons from my family."

Diana, the sin of lust, suddenly appeared beside Amon and gave him a teasing smile. The latter raised an eyebrow but didn’t cancel the effects of his divinity.

"Lady Diana..." The woman from earlier managed to speak. Her eyes were blood red and tears were falling down her cheeks.

"You shouldn’t try to take someone so blindly. That is why I hate all of you so much." Diana sighed before snapping her fingers.

Some portion of her divinity flared up as well and canceled the effects of Amon’s divinity.

"Off you go back to the place you came from." Juliana, the sin of envy, sighed before snapping her fingers.

The demons instantly vanished from their spots, leaving the sins alone with Jason, Amber and May.

"So this was the creature that emitted that aura." Koro, the sin of greed, commented. "She looks quite young to do something like this.’

"You are one to talk. You are fifteen yet you still look like a ten year old." Manny, the sin of gluttony, chuckled.

"Oi, I didn’t live five years of my life. I am still ten." Koro complained.

"Divinity. Not young. Teenager." Xavier, the sin of sloth, observed.

Somehow, everyone present there, except May, were able to understand what Xavier meant to say.

"You are correct. She is older than she looks and yes, she has a divinity that she can’t completely control." Jason explained.

Even though he didn’t trust the sins, he had to provide some sort of explanation for the situation.

’why do I feel so comfortable around them?’ he wondered at the same time.

[ It’s probably because all of you are high-level demons and have some sort of connection. I am ninety percent sure it has something to do with your bloodline. ]

’Bloodlines are so complicated. The events of the past still make their way into the future this way.’ Jason sighed mentally.

"The real question is, how did she get here?" Juliana asked at last.

"I don’t know. She suddenly appeared in front of us without any explanation." Jason shrugged.

[ I came here to meet you… ] May said inside his head.

’You sound weak. Go and sleep. I will handle things here and we will talk later.’ Jason urged.

[ All right… Don’t leave me… ] May replied weakly.

’I promise I won’t.’

"Hmm, I guess she can stay with you as long as we completely mask her aura," Juliana muttered. "Is that fine with you?"

"Sure."

"Xavier, do your thing now." Juliana instructed.

The sin of sloth slowly moved forward and tapped May’s forehead with his right index finger.

A small amount of divine energy transferred from the tip of his finger into May’s body.

Her aura slowly started to fade away alongside the divine energy of her divinity.

Jason used the ability of his eyes to look at what was happening.

[ Sealing magic. Xavier used his divinity to seal the energy inside May’s body, with her permission as it seems. ]

’So he couldn’t have done it without her permission?’

[ Hmm, he probably could have but that would have required more energy and would probably cause harm to May. You’ll have to personally ask him for more details. ]

’I see…’

"Now that her aura is masked, let’s talk about some important stuff," Diana said cheerfully. "Which one of you wants to host him at your family house?"

"We are going to my house since Wade is staying there as well," Manny replied. "Didn’t we already discuss this?"

"We totally did!" Koro nodded. "Sis just wants to do some time pass before we go."

"Oi, don’t expose me, you brat!" Diana hissed.

"There they go again…" Juliana facepalmed yet didn’t do anything to stop the two sins.

This made Jason wonder whether the sins were also like normal people instead of the supposed terrifying demons they were portrayed as.

"We are like this." Xavier whispered near Jason before walking away.

’Four words…’ Jason looked at the sin of sloth with a surprised expression.

"All right, that’s enough. Koro, drop it. Diana, we have people we need to take care off." Manny said at last and finished the argument between the two sins.

"Does this happen often?" Jason asked Juliana.

"All the time. Sometimes I feel like all of them are just kids but perhaps that’s because I’m the oldest one among us five." Juliana sighed.

"Must be quite tough to handle them."

"Not really. I have been with them ever since they were born." Juliana smiled. "Lucius, Amon and they are my family instead of the blood related one."

Jason maintained his silence and let the sins teleport him away.

’I wonder if you have started thinking the same way.’ He silently wondered while looking at May.

Perhaps for the demi-god, Jason and the Syrward family had become her family.

A family not related by blood.

"Place is a bit rusty so don’t mind it much. If any demon tries anything funny, just tell him or her that you are with me," Manny explained to Jason and Amber.

All of them were currently standing in a rusty dining hall.

The chandelier hanging above head was also covered with so much dust that it had lost its shine.

The same could be said for almost everything inside the room except for one thing.

A silver ring that was floating in the middle of the room.

"Oh? That’s interesting." Diana commented. "The ring is reacting to someone’s presence."

"And it’s not mine." Manny added.

All eyes turned on Jason. He had his fair share of experience with such things so he immediately handed May over to Amber and closed his eyes.

The next moment, the silver ring shot from its place and directly struck Jason’s forehead.

A system message followed it but Jason could only read half of it before losing consciousness.
