The Supreme Level Up System

"Our family didn\'t inherit all of the stories of the journey of those two, but they worked together, and with the help of their allies, they protected the world from an ancient threat, but the battle had been too difficult," Sauros said. "They lost many friends and companions… In his grief, the god left the world to prevent other tragedies. As for the goddess, she decided to pass to the next generation the will of their allies… Or so the legends say. It is hard to tell the truth from fiction after so long."

It was a rather long tale, but Aion could say that some parts made sense based on what he knew. Still, considering how things ended up for the Mirelis kingdom, it seemed that some of them decided to forget the teachings of the goddess and their ancestors… Or perhaps since they knew the truth, they decided not to follow her will and don\'t pass the knowledge to the next generations.

"In any case, before splitting up, those two decided to seal that technique," Sauros said. "They defeated their enemies, but for some reason, it seems that they can return… The reason for that is that they were only defeated at some point in time, and until now, they remain defeated. However, they might come from the past and change that."

Time Travel… One of the worst things that can happen is at the hands of super-powered beasts or people. Aion was starting to think that he was reincarnated in this world to deal with that problem. He had no idea why he had been chosen, but it wasn\'t something that he could ignore.

"With his blood, the god sealed the technique and prevented its use, and with her magic, the goddess managed to keep his blood safe. Until now, we thought that things would be fine as they were, but that was a mistake and caused the kidnapping of Artemisia," Sauros said. "With that in mind, we decided to take the statues crafted using the blood of the good in order to prevent the same thing from happening. We assumed that just like us, only the heads of the families knew about the key to the barriers around the world, but it is clear that the knowledge was spread during the war, so we need to make our move."

"That is quite a lot to swallow at once…" Artemisia said while frowning.

"I see… that is why you two asked for Aion and bought that bracelet for Artemisia," Lexus said. "You want his help, but you knew that he wouldn\'t leave his mother alone after that incident."

"How convenient that you bought a convenient tool to solve two of your problems at the same time," Aion said.

"We won\'t deny, but you can understand what will happen if we leave the relics as they are," Seris said. "You and your mother will become a target, and you know what might happen… If you faced a small fraction of what might happen. The world was much more dangerous before… One of the guys that captured mother opened w fissure to the past and brought an ice dragon. Why do you think that happened when he had no control over the relic?"

"... Because the fissure appeared in a period where they were common?" Aion asked.

"Exactly, you are not half bad for a kid who was raised to have muscles for the brain," Seris said.

Artemisia smiled while pinching his side, and then she whispered: you scored a point! Aion felt like sighing. Still, he decided to return to the subject.

"So, all in all, you guys are saying that the enemies that were defeated in the past, they might show up in the future once they know that they will be defeated," Aion said. "They can come, but they can\'t return because of the relics… Right?"

"Yes, you catch on quick," Sauros said. "The relics cause and have been causing a disturbance on that kind of magic, but if the disturbance once happens in the present, then the enemies can come to this present, but their only way to return would be by destroying the relics."

"What if those guys head to a future where the people managed to discover other ways to use time travel?" Aion asked. "I guess you guys\' job is to prevent that, but even so… I get it now why you are a nomad group of people."

"If they are hard to find, then they are hard to be defeated. Thus, their family will always exist and prevent that kind of magic from developing," Lexus said.

"Yes, but things won\'t be like that forever," Sauros said. "We noticed some weird movements all over the world, we can\'t confirm that things will be getting harder for us, but we need to be careful. Once again, for that reason, we want Aion\'s assistance."

"... I want to know more about this, and since you all confirmed that a dragon appeared, then I have to believe in the veracity of that," Vangel said. "We also need to prevent that kind of thing from happening, so we need the relics in a single safe place. I authorize Aion to go with you, but in the end, he needs to decide that by himself as well."

That was very convenient, and once again, Aion couldn\'t tell what Vangel was thinking. Still, what he had realized before didn\'t change. He needed to make sure that his mother won\'t be targeted and make sure that the relics would be with him. Also, he needed to repay his debt… Artemisia\'s life was one hundred times more important than Sauros from his perspective, and the relic that could protect her was that valuable.

"All right… I am going," Aion said. "What do you want to do, mom? You are strong enough to help, even if the mission might be a bit dangerous."

"... I am going to pass, I Will join this free time that I didn\'t have in a while," Artemisia replied after a short moment of silence.
