Chapter 1922 Battle Against the Daemos Elders II

"What you need is a better teacher." The voice that is familiar to Adrian stated as the latter turned back to see Elder Koronn. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

"Are you telling me that I am not a great teacher to our most promising young Arch Demon!?" Elder Ascalor stated.

"You are the one that said it not me. I guess you can see where you are lacking." Elder Koronn stated.

"You are besmirching my name! You did not even teach the kid anything! He is lacking in Temporal Magic more than Spatial Magic!" Elder Ascalor stated.

"I might not be the one to teach him of ways that he can apply Temporal Magic but remember that he has survived the River of Time. This makes him more capable of handling Temporal Magic. Demons that bathe in the River of Time shall have more mastery over the fluidity of time itself." Elder Koronn stated.

"You are really mad and psychotic. No demon would even attempt that unless they are incredibly desperate. The Time Reapers would kill or rather erase any demon that does so. The reason why you are safe is because that is your second time, and the brat is safe because of my intervention along with Elder Bronx." Elder Ascalor stated.

"I do not know about you but let me prove that he has mastery over time more. Get ready, Equinox." Elder Koronn stated.

"Uhmm... do I not get a say on this? Like I just died earlier and now I have to fight another one of you." Adrian stated.

"It is cute that you think that you have a say. The tests of proficiency are sacred to the Daemos. We will not die as long it is implemented as if the very fragment of reality is protecting us. Of course, that only applies when there are tests like this. Other times we will die if we are really killed." Elder Koronn stated.

"I see. I thought I did not die because I was special in a sense." Adrian thought as he now knows that all Daemos have this privilege.

"Just make sure that you are not making the test soft on the kid just because you treat him like a grandson." Elder Ascalor stated.

"The rules of the evaluation are simple as well. The only spells and skills that you can use must be related to Temporal Magic. Other types of magic are not to be used as this would not be accurate should you use other magics. Begin!" Elder Koronn stated as he also transformed into his true battle form.

[All of your other skills will be sealed. Only spells and skills of the Temporal Element can be used.]

[Passive skills will not be locked.]

[Do your best against Elder Koronn.]

"Interesting." Elder Koronn stated as he immediately manipulated the time around him to slow down which also made Paradox slow down.

"Chrono Shift!" Adrian stated but he did not cast it onto Paradox.

Adrian casted the Chrono Shift unto himself and bolted towards Paradox. With a powerful kick propelled by accelerating time, Adrian managed to create a powerful burst of explosion that shattered Elder Koronn's time manipulation. Paradox shot towards Elder Koronn at such speed that he was directly hit by it.

An explosion that had the effects of gears and clocks flying about got in contact with Elder Koronn. Adrian smiled as he was able to damage the elder with his impromptu attack. Just as he was about to somewhat celebrate and follow up with an attack, time started to go crazy in the area where Elder Koronn was in. The explosion that happened started to reverse as time itself went backwards.

Elder Koronn was still hurt but the explosion that could have given Adrian some breathing room and affect the elder with partial blindness vanished or rather reverted back. Adrian recalled Paradox and the weapon immediately vanished and appeared next to him. He feared that Elder Koronn might freeze his weapon in time.

Thankfully, Paradox has the ability to return back to Adrian in a moment's notice. Elder Koronn clapped his hands as he was clearly impressed by Adrian's usage of Temporal Magic. He is proud that Adrian knows how to weave time and motion together by using cause and effect. Only a being with clear eyes could see that Adrian used both Chrono Shift and Chrono Lag when he kicked Paradox.

Adrian used Chrono Shift on himself in order to boost his motion. He then casted Chrono Lag on Paradox to slow it down while he kicked it with a layered Chrono Shift. This resulted in Paradox storing all the inertial energy onto it which is a stacked Chrono Shift. This made it possible to momentarily skip a moment in time which actually shocked Elder Koronn as it landed a hit on him.

Adrian knows of this due to his experimentation with Temporal Magic, but it is incredibly difficult to pull off in a battle with many variables. Since Elder Koronn can only use Temporal Magic like him, the elder cannot escape via space magic which means that he can only dodge using temporal magic. It is difficult in actual use, but Adrian can still apply it when given the opportunity as he does understand time more compared to space.

"The only downside is that temporal magic uses more mana compared to spatial magic." Adrian thought as he already lost half his mana with just that attack.

Adrian did not just apply only Chrono Lag and Chrono Shift, but he also actively manipulated time around Elder Koronn. He tried freezing the known Master of Time in time but the only thing he managed to accomplish is a diversion. It was a good diversion, but it cost him 40% of his total mana in return.

"Very good. Now this is your final test from me. If you managed to survive this spell, then I will gladly give you an 80% mastery over Temporal Magic." Elder Koronn stated as he suddenly burst out with energy.

"Better get some distance." Elder Ascalor whispered as he vanished further in about a kilometer or so from his original location.

"Bring it on!" Adrian shouted as he charged towards Elder Koronn knowing that the spell might have a longer cast time.

"Let Time be the ultimate ender!" Elder Koronn stated as a large hourglass suddenly appeared and started to crack.

Adrian rushed towards Elder Koronn as he knew that the spell might backfire on him if he hits him with an attack that is strong enough. What Adrian did not know is that he was too late as Elder Koronn already froze time. Adrian himself was frozen in time as well and looked like he was a statue standing still.

"Temporal Crash!" Elder Koronn stated as time itself exploded in the area.

A powerful explosion that shattered reality itself happened and deleted Adrian from the area. The only thing that Adrian managed to see is an explosion of temporal energy before turning into particles of light.

[You have died.]

[There is no penalty upon dying in an evaluation match with an elder of the Daemos.]

[You will be revived in one minute.]
