Chapter 1263 Into The River Of Time
“Exactly! We will send you to the River of Time.” Ascalor stated.
“Why not one of you go? Why does it have to be me? From the way you are acting, I bet it is quite dangerous.” Adrian stated as he could see the shifting eyes of the elders.
“Do not worry because it will not be that dangerous.” Ascalor stated in a tone that is quite difficult for Adrian to believe.
“We are very busy here and we also need to maintain a connection to you just in case. If we are going to send you in the River of Time, we must be here to fish you out. If you get lost there, then you will be lost in time.” Ascalor stated.
“How long will I be lost in time?” Adrian asked.
“The longest would be for a day or two. The worst case would be for eternity. But do not worry because we are confident in you. It is not like this is your first time galivanting into another time period.” Ascalor stated with a firm tone which made Adrian tense up.
The Daemos are warned to never travel back in time because there are repercussions in the present and future. Adrian already crossed in time two times with the first one being aided by Koronn. Ascalor noticed it back then but decided to ignore it since nothing changed that much but he was a bit wrong.
Adrian’s first visit to the past changed his soul’s causality. Ascalor did not notice it at first because it was not that strong, but it became apparent with Adrian’s return to the Paradox Planes. With each return from venturing in the outside world, Adrian’s causality got stronger which means the world expects something of him to be able to overturn some of the rules.
Ascalor thought that Adrian was special because he was born out of nothing like the First Daemos. He was also born in a fighting fit body already, but he was still glad that a new demon was born. He did not expect that the new demon born would be a magnet for trouble which is why he was often sent out for errands to avoid him getting in trouble.
“You know, I was told that you went to the eastern continent back then. Do you know why I am saying this? I believe that the Inferno Frost Ridge that was there, but it suddenly became a city bustling with the protection of a divine beast.
There was also a new power lurking in the shadows of the eastern continent. I believe it was called the Black Butterfly Clan, but I forget what they call themselves in their language. They were never there in the first place, but they suddenly appeared which made some of the hidden powers of the eastern continent emerge.” Ascalor stated. 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The Daemos are a race that is sensitive to the flow of time, space and energy. They are also unaffected by the changes in the flow of time should it be altered. It is also why they have a record of every place in a specific point of time for reference. Should a city suddenly get erased or pop out from the map, they will need to investigate such things.
The Butterfly effect is a powerful tool that anyone would want to have to change the present, but it could also lead to dire consequences. Adrian meddling in the eastern continent created a power struggle for the ones living there. The hidden dragons emerged as they no longer could get what they desire from being hidden.
“I was not the one that broke the Inferno Frost Ridge. I just returned it back to what it should be.” Adrian replied.
“Oh! I am not talking about that because that was already in our list of areas to repair. What I am talking about is the fact that you saved an entire clan. A bigger butterfly effect will happen since human life is not predictable. So, go be a good boy and fetch the wandering old coot inside the River of Time or do you want me to put you in duty of observing the changes that you have made?” Ascalor stated in his smiling but threatening smile.
“I believe that we should fetch the old man lost in the River of Time! But I have an important upcoming event a week from now.” Adrian stated.
“Do not worry because we also know of that event. It is not like you bet your entire territory for that bet, right?” Ascalor stated as he looked at Adrian once again, but the latter diverted his gaze while laughing dryly.
“We will pull you out after three days if you do not secure him within that time. Just make sure that you immediately extract that old coot if you find him. The Time Wraiths might actually be torturing him or something.” Ascalor stated.
“What are Time Wraiths?” Adrian asked.
“They are soulless and mindless beings that keep the integrity of the flow of time. They were born from the fragments of the dead time gods. They will not attack you unless you do something unimaginable like what Koronn did when he reversed back time for strong beings. You only did so for humans so you might get a slap at the very least.” Ascalor stated.
“Can we get another person to go?” Adrian suddenly stated as he fears the Time Wraith that could even punish Koronn.
“I believe only you would be able to. Only an Arch Demon can survive the trip to the River of Time.” Ascalor replied.
“What!” Adrian exclaimed.
“Okay! Done with the explanations. We will reward you if you manage to retrieve that old coot.” Ascalor stated as he suddenly summoned a rift below Adrian’s feet. The shout of the unfortunate sacrifice vanished when he got swallowed. Ascalor, Bronx and Pann then started chanting simultaneously and created a chain made of arcane energy that was sent to cling onto Adrian.𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚
