The next thing that Adrian needed to do is to perfectly sync with the Aether energy. He might have transformed the excess nether energy into aether energy, but he has yet to bond with it. If he does not bond with aether energy, then it would naturally leak out of his body.
The leakage of aether energy already started and the Daemos Elders could already feel it happening. Since the leakage is only a small amount, the aether energy is not noticeable to those that are slightly far from him. Even the Daemos Elders are shocked to find what kind of energy is emanating from Adrian's body.
"Do you know that kind of energy?" Ascalor asked Koronn as the latter is the most studied among all of them.
"I do not even know where he got his first energy in the first place. We, Daemos, rarely stray away from origin energy. He is the first in at least a millennium to attempt making his body turn like that. It might be related to the fact that he has the blood of the Perfect Ones." Koronn stated.
"Do not tell me that you used your powers to stop time and take his blood?" Bronx stated.
"Do you think I am that absurd. I got permission from him of course and I verified his bloodline. He has definitely the perfect body to carry the blood of the Perfect Ones. Even when he was born, he already has the signs that he has that blood. He is special compared to the others." Koronn stated.
"At least you asked him for the blood. If it was the old, you then you would have just used your mastery of Chronomancy to take what you want. It is also the reason why you became such a troublemaker back in the day." Ascalor teased.
"You say that yet you are worse than me. Your pranks were childish excuse of a grown man that wanted to get attention. Do not put me in the same level as you because I at least get results that can help our race." Koronn stated as he and Ascalor stared butting heads.
"Stop it you two. You know that we need to protect the youngest now as our enemies has already detected his energy." Bronx stated.
"You did not change as well. You were always the calm one that stopped our petty fights. You really do deserve your position as the Daemos Corps Commander." Koronn stated.
"I agree with you, but we are still not friends." Ascalor stated.
"Just you, agreeing with me means that you surrender. It also means that you are in a lower position than me. Wahahaha!" Koronn stated with a hearty laugh, but he already started to cast Chronomancy spells to slow down the ones attacking them.
"Just because I agree with you about Bronx' great personality does not mean I am beneath you. It just means that I have a gracious heart that could appreciate the strength of others unlike an old fart like you." Ascalor stated as he also casted spells that sent some of the enemies away into the void.
"Seriously, I am already getting tired of the petty rivalry between this two. At least, they also do that while succeeding in their duty. It would be another thing if they are not trustworthy at all." Bronx stated with a sigh as he erected force barrier to keep the enemy away from Adrian.
Just as the elders say, the enemies have already started to feel the intense life energy that Adrian is giving off. The one that felt this energy first is the Horseman of Death as he could detect a strong life force like any other in the vicinity. The Horseman of Death thought that it was the three beings that give off life energy, but he is wrong as this was a fourth one.
When the Horseman of Death locked its gaze towards Adrian, he could see the demon that he choked earlier. That was the demon that he infected with his essence. He wanted to use that demon as a sacrifice for the Dragon of Revelation, but an intense energy of death blocked him. It shocked the Horseman of Death because it was a more potent energy of death than his.
The Horseman of Death wanted to charge towards Adrian's location and absorb that intense life energy in order to fully regenerate, but the Dark Dragon King is not letting him go near the backline. The Horseman of Death started to think what it needs to do in order to get near until a burst of strong life energy erupted from Adrian's body.
A pillar of golden green light shot out from Adrian's body as this energy started to permeate around him. The ground below him started to grow strange and strong plants while the air around him felt invigorating. The ones hit by this intense invigorating energy even felt their strength coming back to them.
The first ones to get hit by this energy are the Daemos Elders. The energy that they thought would take a few more hours to regenerate started to quickly fill up because of the intense life energy that Adrian is exhibiting. They are not the only ones that looked at Adrian because the eyes of hunger emanated from the monsters that the Dragon of Revelation summoned.
Monsters have a natural instinct to becomes stronger and that they need intense life energy to make that happen. The monsters hungrily eyed Adrian as they plan to devour him and absorb that intense life energy. Even a wyrm can straight up evolve into a true dragon if one is bathe with that intense life energy.
"This brat! He is attempting to evolve!" Ascalor shouted as he immediately used all the energy that he regenerated to create a separate space for them but that would also cut them from the space outside. He decided to just reinforce the force barrier that Bronx has erected.
"He might have felt that his body would break down if he does not evolve now. We have lost many promising demons when they could not control the energy of their bodies. It is up to us old generation to make sure that the young ones stay alive." Koronn stated.

The three arch demons did not need to talk to each other to say that they agree. They also find Adrian to be something akin to their son as they have raised him. In fact, they do not want to say it, but they have been raising him to succeed one of them if one of them should fall.
The three arch demons transformed into their true forms once again and applied an intense gravitational field around Adrian. The monsters that can fly suddenly dropped to the ground and crashed onto those that are basically lying face flat. Seeing the great opportunity presented to them, the long-range damage dealers immediately used their skills to try and kill the monsters.
The players cheered for this as they already see the Daemos as great helpers for their contribution points. If the Daemos Elders were not whisked away earlier, then they might have helped the players in defeating the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The players made sure to make use of the opportunity that is given to them, but they are also curious of what is happening to Adrian.Hor
The monsters that could feel the intense life energy emanating from Adrian could only try their best to reach him. Some could even be seen crawling with blood spurting out from their bodies as they knew that all they need is a touch of that intense life energy. One taste and they could advance themselves into another being and evolve to become stronger.
The desperate attempt at what the monsters are trying to do could be seen as heartbreaking and would make you want to root for them. With the appearance of the three Daemos Elders, one could say that the demons are the villains if this image is without of context. But that brief sense of pinning for the underdog did not last as the monsters would shout their desires to devour the source of the intense life energy.
When Adrian's life energy started to begin rising to its peak, the Horseman of Death started to make his move. He activated his skill that created numerous apparitions once more and sent it out to all the enemies. The Dark Dragon King could not be easily fooled though as he suddenly used a skill that sees through lies.
If there is one thing that cannot hide from the darkness, then that is lies and illusions because darkness could see through all of that. The dark dragon king easily noticed the real body of the Horseman of Death and fired his dragon breath at the latter. The Horseman of Death could not dodge the breath attack because he is focused on getting close to Adrian instead.
