Adrian's inner world started to crumble as his evolution started to commence. The outer world could see Adrian's body being covered by a crystalline shell made of Aether dust. All the Aether energy that he released earlier started to gather to him once more.
The evolution process is the most sensitive time of a demon which is why they tend to only evolve in a secluded area, but Adrian chose to evolve in front of enemies. If the monsters were crazed earlier just because of a taste of his intense Aether energy, then they are now going mad. Even the Dragon of Revelation eyed Adrian as a snack.
"We must protect him even if it costs our life." Ascalor stated and the other two agreed.
"Should we take down the barrier? If they all want the boy, then we can retract the area of protection." Bronx stated.
"No, all of you will need to protect him. I will sacrifice myself for this one. Make sure to take care of the other Daemos while I am lost in the time stream." Koronn stated as he started to chant temporal magic that goes against the rules of the world.
"Prince of Time!" Koronn stated as he suddenly rose in the air.
A giant clock podium appeared as a stepping platform for Koronn. The clock indicated the time of this world moving all normal until Koronn snapped his fingers. The hands of the clock suddenly started to reverse as small clock sigils appeared in all of the area.
The people in the area could not believe what is happening because their allies that died suddenly started to revive. It is not really a revival, but time rewound itself in the whole area for them to live again. Koronn perfectly controlled time in order for the people that died to fight once more.
Even dead NPCs got revived which is why Koronn went against the Providence of the universe. Dark clouds started to gather above Koronn, but he paid it no mind. He completed the spell with ease and looked satisfied that he revived all of the people that died. The Dragon of Revelation roared at the top of its lungs as if cursing the Temporal Demon.
The dark clouds gathered, and a piercing lightning came down on top of Koronn. He immediately used a powerful energy hidden inside of his body to stop the lightning from raining down. The first few strikes got blocked but the next rounds all came at him with full force.
A large lightning bolt came down on Koronn and his barrier shattered like glass. His body got hit by the lightning and the surrounding area got illuminated. When the lightning subsided and the dark clouds were gone, Koronn is nowhere to be found. He vanished without a trace, but the other two Daemos Elders know where he is.
"He has been whisked away in the time stream. Let us hope that he could return in two months." Ascalor stated.
"You do not need to worry. This is not his first time going against the flow. His act now might be more intense than the last one, but it is not to the point that he will get killed. He will return but we must ensure that he has something to return to." Bronx stated as he took the burden that Koronn left.
Due to Koronn's flashy spell and exit, Adrian's evolution did not garner much attention. The egg that has a shell that looks like cosmic dust could be seen forming cracks. The remaining two Daemos Elders could be seen smiling but they could not carry the weight that Koronn left easily. They needed to carry the burden of the barrier which meant that they cannot actively participate in the battle.
It is a good thing that Koronn actually rewound time for those that died. He not only rewound time for those that recently died but also those that died when they just faced the Horseman of Death. Numerous members of the guilds Evergreen, Infernum, and Valor could be seen reviving even though they should have a respawn timer still.
Even Lycan, Vayu and Kabrakan got revived as well due to Koronn's spell. They got sent a notification that their characters have been revived which is why they immediately hopped back into their game capsules. They are even more eager to pummel down the beings that killed them.
"Protect Equinox!" Levin Cloud stated in their group chat as they know that he is an important evolution happening.

Adrian's friends retreated a bit as they needed to protect him from the monsters charging at him tirelessly. Even Solstice turned into blood mist just to get close to her brother and left the front lines as there are now an increase in firepower. They are willing to sacrifice their contribution points just to make sure that Adrian is safe.
Adrian's cocoon made of Aether dust started to form more cracks as he started to show signs of evolving completely. Some of the shells of the cocoon started to fall off and a powerful life energy could be felt from inside the egg. It seems that Adrian is indeed a special existence once more as golden rays of light came down from the skies as if blessing his being.
[The universe is shaking due to the excitement that a new being is getting born.]
[All those that will witness the birth of a unique being will be blessed.]
As soon as the notifications appeared, the monsters no longer cared about those they are facing. They all charged towards Adrian without a care in the world as long as they could eat him. They want to devour him to become a blessed being as well. The monsters no longer cared if they died while charging as they flooded like a giant tidal wave.
It is not just the monsters that want a taste as the Dragon of Revelation wants too as well. Six of the seven dragon heads receded back into the magic circle and the remaining one suddenly elongated to try and eat Adrian.
