Chapter 400: Possible Effect of Pandemonium

Elder Danaya relayed the details of how Ascalor ended up in his current situation. She was briefed about a few days ago when it happened. The two of them watched the footage of what the demon eye captured. Adrian is the one to use the demon eye as only mana from Daemos could activate them.

The Demon Eye looks is like what its name suggests. It is an eyeball that has a black slit as a pupil and a blue iris and black sclera. It is the size of a basketball and looks as if it is frozen but in reality, it is a mana crystal that can harvest mana from the surroundings to power itself. Adrian watched the projection with Elder Danaya.

Ascalor felt a great spatial disturbance that happened in the central continent. Ascalor immediately went to the scene as he knew that great spatial disturbances would create a hole in the barrier that separates the gods and mortals. He reached the area and immediately started hi job of repairing it.

As Ascalor is repairing the spatial disturbance, he noticed that it is not naturally made. He suspected it as being made artificially because the rip in the fabric of space is too perfect in shape. Natural spatial disturbances are irregular and not of an almost perfect circular shape.

Ascalor paid it no heed as he needed to fix it before a dark god could pinpoint its location. He is absolutely focused on his task, but he still has awareness for any potential attackers. As Ascalor is doing the finishing touches on the hole, he is suddenly blasted with an energy beam of green and black colors.

The energy beam came from a bipedal beast that is a mix of an octopus and a whale with wings of a bat. The energy beam did not reach Ascalor though as he bent space which made the energy beam miss. Adrian could recognize this beast because this was what Eldritch transformed into when they fought.

"I think I know that person." Adrian stated as he paused the video.

"You know him? Have you fought against a Star Spawn before? Did it not inject you with something? Are you okay?" Elder Danaya stated as she panicked. She then emitted a warm green glow that enveloped Adrian. It seems that she wanted to check Adrian's condition upon knowing that he fought against a Star Spawn.

"Thanks for the concern but I was not injected with anything when we fought. I even died once but I could revive thanks to Yewdrasil's Blessing." Adrian replied as he calmed Elder Danaya down.

"That is good then but never challenge a Star Spawn recklessly. They could plant malevolent seeds in your body that can transform you into monsters of unbridled destruction if not detected.

That is the reason why the war became much longer than expected. The bodies of the fallen became incubators of monsters while some transformed into abominations themselves." Elder Danaya stated with a sad undertone.

"Let us continue then." Adrian stated as he continued playing the video by injecting his mana on it once more.

The attacks of the Star Spawn proved to be unsuccessful as not one attack reached Ascalor. Ascalor is about to finish off the Star Spawn but he suddenly felt an immense sign of danger behind him. He was about to use Blink in order to dodge but the spell collapsed leading to him just evading instinctively.

Ascalor managed to move his body do dodge the attack but he was still struck in the end. A sharp spike like crystal managed to pierce Ascalor's side. A wound like that would not have been fatal to Ascalor but he was injected with a poison.

His blue tinged skin around the wound suddenly changed color to white. Ascalor could not use Blink for some reason and opted to teleport the area he is in. He managed to do just that and pulled out the thing that stabbed him.

Ascalor then noticed that the small hole in space that is the size of a marble is where the spike appeared. He tried casting magic spells, but he could not properly gather his mana which is fatal for spell casters like Ascalor.

The Star Spawn then ignored Ascalor as it went to the location of the black crystal spike. The Star Spawn then held out a green orb that channeled energy to the spatial hole. The marble sized hole started to slowly become larger.

Ascalor seeing this could only request for help immediately but he knew that he needed to do something to stop the Star Spawn. If the Star Spawn continued with what he did then whatever entity on the other side could potentially rip the fabric of space open once the hole is big enough.

Ascalor collected the remaining mana he could control and fashioned it into a sphere. The sphere looked like a universe is trapped within and it would spread upon the sphere breaking. Ascalor threw the sphere with his remaining strength as a result he became unable to fly.

The thrown sphere reached the Star Spawn's area and it immediately exploded. The explosion is so powerful that it immediately sent the Star Spawn flying away. The spatial hole that was increasing in size suddenly started shrinking once more.

The Star Spawn had yet to give up though as he once again returned to the spatial hole and started channeling the energy of the green orb once more. Despite being wounded, the Star Spawn continued but other members of the Daemos have arrived.

The Star Spawn managed to fend off the other demons with the help of the entity on the other side. The spatial hole became larger and larger but suddenly the whole world became dark. The space also became unstable which made the spatial hole implode and damage the entity on the other side.

A loud shriek came from the entity on the other side that hurt all the ears present in the area. The Star Spawn looked at the spatial hole to see what happened and growled with displeasure. The spatial hole disappeared, and he is now surrounded by the Daemos Corps.

The Star Spawn then absorbed the green orb back into his body and flew away. The Star Spawn did not manage to escape though as the Daemos managed to trap him inside an Isolation Box, but it killed itself. The Star Spawn became particles of light and managed to evade capture.

"That Star Spawn is most definitely Eldritch. It seems that he tried to enlarge that spatial hole in order for whatever is on the other side to pass through. Fortunately, Ascalor thought quick but the one thing that reset the spatial tear could only be me. Rather, the Pandemonium spell." Adrian thought as he suddenly tried to deduce the effect of the spell.

Adrian thought that him getting possessed by a fragment of a will of a God would not have consumed all his health and even his extra life. The Pandemonium spell should have been much more than a single target spell because of the huge cost.

"Could that spell manage to reset everything anomalous like space disturbances? It should not be farfetched to think that way because it came from a god that is modeled after the Daemos.

This God Chaos should be a powerful entity on the level of a great god. I also would not transform into that form unless the game deems it necessary. Whatever is on that other side might be so powerful that the current player base would not be able to handle it." Adrian thought as he pieced the details together.

"The shard that pierced Ascalor is nowhere to be found as it disintegrated when the spatial hole disappeared. At least, that is what the other Daemos Elders stated. If we had that crystal shard then we might be able to use that to cure Ascalor right now." Elder Danaya stated.

"Can we not just turn back time on his body so that he would be back to normal like nothing happened?" Adrian asked as the Daemos could literally bend time and space.

"Did you not think that we did not try? Both Pann and Koronn tried their best but whatever is affecting Ascalor right now is inhibiting Origin Energy. Whatever this poison is denying Origin Energy from a demigod being.

The only choice that we have would be that of a godlike being, but the gods of time and space are more robotic. They are not gods with feelings after all and they could not help even if we beg them. Gods will weaken once they step foot in the mortal plane." Elder Danaya stated.

"Is there nothing we can do? You are basically using your own energy to maintain Ascalor's condition. If you do not stop then you two might die at the same time at this rate." Adrian stated in a worried tone but Elder Danaya only smiled sadly.

"There could be a way if you manage to find the Sands of Time." A voice from behind them stated.
