Chapter 1266 Return With Koronn

"It is not rude if it was accidental. I did not even know that it was your past anyways." Adrian replied.

"Who told you that it was my past?" Koronn stated.

"From the way that you are acting, I can easily tell because you have the face of someone that does not care but has the aura of wanting to kill me." Adrian replied.

"Just because you have seen my past does not mean that you should pity me." Koronn stated.

"If you want my pity then I will give it to you but if you do not then I will not waste my time. I have other things that need to be done and getting out of this place is one of them." Adrian replied truthfully to which Koronn laughed.

"No wonder you are my favorite young demon. I will prepare for our departure because those things that you attracted will not stay there for long." Koronn stated with a smile as he looked at the Time Wraiths.

"Why did you take too long to return though? The others said that you would be gone for a week at most." Adrian asked.

"Why are you asking?" Koronn asked back.

"I want to know since I was the one pushed into this area where you could potentially be locked in for the rest of my life. I believe I at least need an explanation for being suddenly pushed to doing this." Adrian exclaimed.

"I guess I could tell you because you can actually keep your mouth shut. I am not returning because I want to know more about my past. I want to know who my father is because I did not know him that well. I know that my mother was a djinn, but I know that my father is not. He had mastery over temporal magic, and I know that the River of Time keeps a collection of everything that transpired in the world." Koronn stated as he proceeded to create a magic circle below their feet.

"Did you find out?" Adrian asked only to be met wit a sad smile from Koronn.

"Not really. It seems that I do not have access to the records of the River of Time despite my great mastery over temporal magic itself. I did peer into some of the memories as I was able to see my mother's face that I was not able to see.

Anyways, how did you enter the River of Time? I could enter because of my unique lineage and being here when I as but a child but that is not the same for you. You suddenly became such an interesting experimental subject all of a sudden." Koronn stated as his focused suddenly shifted towards Adrian and it made the latter shudder.

"Wait! You mean not all demons can enter into the River of Time?" Adrian asked as he was informed that only Arch Demons could potentially survive the trip.

"Did those old farts not tell you? Only a Noblesse will be able to safely arrive here, and they would still have a chance of losing an arm or a leg. They will be able to survive to regenerate it but the barrier protecting the River of Time is very harsh and powerful. Now, it makes me even more curious about you." Koronn stated.

"Maybe it was due to my Asmodian blood purity." Adrian replied.

"Even Asmodians stay clear of the River of Time as they will still be damaged to some extent. The more powerful you are, then the more resistance that you will get. Did you feel anything when you first got sent here? Tell me in full detail as it would take some time for me to finish mapping our escape since I never needed to carry someone with me." Koronn stated.

"I felt all of my body getting torn to shreds but my core would suddenly release a burst of energy to keep everything intact. I did not feel anything when I actually arrived here at the River of Time. It only felt like passing through a rift or something." Adrian replied to which Koronn only nodded to his answers while continuing in creating the magic circle.

"Since I asked you something, why not ask me more?" Koronn stated as he knew that Adrian will not be satisfied with just a couple of questions.

"What happened to you? Maybe seeing your past did something. So, did you at least see the face of your father?" Adrian asked as he was also a bit curious about the man that seemed to be Koronn's father.

"I was not able to see his face as if a slight fog was blocking my view of him. He did exude something that only specific beings can exude. He exuded divine energy, but I am not able to fully verify it if it is exactly that. He should at least be a demigod or a god by that standard. Tell me, did you see something that I was not able to?" Koronn stated his observations about the details that he saw.

Adrian was also unable to see the face of Koronn's father despite seeing the father's full figure clearly. He did have this familiar tingling feeling that he already encountered someone like that. Adrian has encountered a lot of gods and demigods but each of them exude a different aura so to speak.

But for Adrian, he had this feeling that he already encountered someone like Koronn's father. He did not want to say anything in getting Koronn's hopes up because even he is not sure. If he knows one thing, it is that expectations are somewhat more painful than not knowing anything. The more you long for something to happen, then the bigger the disappointment that you will experience in the end.

"Nothing in particular but I did see a beast that supposedly killed them. It has the modus operandi of a distorted god if I have seen one. If they were that powerful to have sent you to the River of Time back, then they were not ordinary to say the least. Even if we say that you are special, creating a powerful barrier that can withstand the impact of the River of Time's dimensional barrier is at the realm of gods." Adrian replied.

"Even you have the same conclusion as me. I bet you could also feel it inside my body now that you have some as well." Koronn stated.

"Yes. I could clearly see it as soon as I was able to feel divine energy. You are actually a demigod, are you not?" Adrian stated.

"I was born from a god or a demigod, but a Noblesse is something that I am not. Something inside of me is sealing my divine energy from leaking out. Another reason I came here to find a way to unlock the seal." Koronn stated in a serious tone.

"Why? Will it not be unsealed if you fight against your last inner demon?" Adrian replied.

"That is the trick. My last Inner Demon is locked inside that very seal which is why I need to unlock it to ensure that I can become a Noblesse that I knew that I was destined to become. The gods could now descend but there is currently no Noblesse in full power in the Daemos." Koronn stated in eyes full of desire to get stronger.

Adrian knows why the Daemos Elders wants to become stronger because the only living Noblesse, Pann, has yet to regain his full power. For now, lesser gods could descend to become a demigod but how long will that status quo last. The Daemos Elders know that they should become stronger, but they seem to have blockers for each of them.

Something is blocking the Daemos Elders from actually becoming a Noblesse, but Adrian does not know the reasons. Pann has touched up on that subject when Adrian once asked why the three elders have yet to become Noblesse, but he was only replied with a wry smile. Now, Adrian knows at least one of the elder's reasons of not becoming a Noblesse.

It is not that they do not want to become one, but they are held back by something. Adrian knows that becoming a Noblesse is no easy feat because he was the first Arch Demon in a long time. There have been a few promising Greater Demons that could become Arch Demons, but they were not yet at that stage. The elders are by no means weak as even Pann said that they could become Noblesse class.

"To think that I would open up to you here in the River of Time at all places. Seeing you become an Arch Demon and defeating the Horsemen of the Apocalypse might have triggered something in me to become more powerful. The Daemos are the only family that I have right now, and I will willingly give up everything to protect all of you. Although do not tell that old fart Ascalor that I said that." Koronn stated with a genuine smile as the magic circle activated to send them out of the River of Time.
