When the chain that they crafted broke, the elders suddenly went into panic mode. They did not expect something that they crafted using their combined mana would snap or fade. They suddenly started to blame each other for the deficiencies in the spell.
"You two are going to get it if that brat does not come back in a week. You were not able to stabilize properly which is why there was an imbalance in the spell's constitution." Pann stated attempting to shift the blame away from himself.
"You are blaming us when it was you who that should be saying sorry. We can clearly see that you were sloppy old man. You tend too much to your herds that you almost forgotten how to use spells." Ascalor retorted.
"I am with him at this one! You were even worse than me when I mostly tarin my muscles." Bronx added.
The three kept arguing on who was at fault because they know that Adrian has a higher chance of being trapped there for a long time. They promised him that he would be out by at most three days, but they could no longer keep that promise.
"You should have a beast that could travel to the River of Time, right?" Ascalor suddenly asked Pann.
"To call them beasts! They are my cute family! Also, do you think I have one for every occasion? Temporal Monsters are vastly different compared to Spatial Monsters like Bessy. Encountering one is already one in a million but having tamed one is very close to impossible." Pann stated as he does not have a Temporal Monster.
Temporal Monsters are extremely rare kinds of monsters that could traverse time easily. One minute they are in the present and the next they could be in the past or future. They have the ability to traverse through the River of Time without being harmed by the effects of Time Travel.
In fact, one of the ingredients to create a magic circle that can send one to the past is a heart of Temporal Monster. Many would want to attempt this, but the spell is not stable because Temporal Monsters do not control what time period, they will be sent in. The user of the Time Travel spell could most likely be sent to the far future or the distant past.
While the elders were still arguing, two figures suddenly materialized from light beside them. They were too engrossed on who to take the blame that they did not immediately sense the arrival of the two. Adrian was wondering what happened for them to argue like kids, but Koronn could more or less guess.
"It seems that these old coots have already view him as a son if they are fighting like that. Then again, I do too but I will not say that out loud." Koronn thought as he suddenly said, "Alright, old bag of bones. Stop fighting in front of the child. It is getting unsightly."
"You are actually scolding us when you are the one that was trapped there in the first place. We would not have put in effort if you were not punished. Actually, were you even punished? Judging by the look that you have, you are not even scratched by a Time Wraith." Ascalor stated as he observed that Koronn did not have any wounds.
"I was not punished in that sense, but I was locked inside the River of Time for twenty days in mortal time. It might have been twenty days here, but it was actually two hundred years there. I would have lost my mind if I did not have great mental blocks." Koronn stated.
"So, did you at least get something useful that we could use from the River of Time? I am not going to ask the brat because he was only sent there to fetch you which is why he never seen anything we can use against the future." Pann stated.
"Can we actually use that information? I mean, would we not affect the future in a bad way and get punished?" Adrian asked.
"Not really, Equinox. The future is far more flexible compared to the past but there is one thing that you should never do in a future timeline should you get caught in one." Bronx stated.
"What is taboo for a future timeline?" Adrian asked.
"In a past timeline, you must not change it in any way. In a future timeline, you must never take any item from there. Especially ones that are not yet discovered or created because the universe will punish them with the Lightning of Providence." Bronx stated.
"Who knew that the universe is also a patent committee." Adrian thought as he stayed to hear the conversation of the elders.
"I was not able to peer too much in the future, but I do know that the evil gods will once again rise. It seems that they have already started with the domination of some places that our eyes cannot reach from the scenes that I saw." Koronn stated.
"Did they break the dimensional barrier?" Ascalor asked.
"That is the unfortunate part because they did not even do anything to the dimensional barrier. In the future that was shown to me, there was no dimensional crack as if they were already here in the first place." Koronn stated.
"Maybe they were already here in the first place. They might be the sealed ones that were lost in time." Ascalor stated.
"I do not think so because the one I saw was powerful as a Greater God that descended and that is still not possible for the current energy in the main world." Koronn stated.
"Maybe they increase the energy of the main world like what the angels did. It has happened once so it is not farfetched to say that they could do it again since the followers of the dark gods are quite a good number." Adrian stated as he raised his hand.
