Chapter 1837 The Sealed Light Breaks II
There has always been a debate online with players on who would be the weakest of the Daemos Elders. There was even a poll that the community voted on and all of them were in agreement that the weakest was Elder Koronn. They based this on their observations on the feats that each Daemos elder has done. Still, they know that each of the Daemos Elder is more powerful than the normal NPC.
The players saw Elder Ascalor move entire armies in a split-second while also using spells that destroys his enemies via a powerful space vacuum. Elder Bronx is the next strongest via voting as they saw how he is basically destruction incarnate when he gets serious. They voted Elder Koronn as the weakest because no one has seen him do anything and he is regarded as a shut-in and a bookworm.
This was the first time that the players have seen what Elder Koronn is capable of as he is destroying hundreds of powerful Luxera by himself. The most terrifying thing is that the Luxera could not even counterattack as they were basically frozen in time or Elder Koronn moved extremely fast. The players did not even believe a post that the Demon Equinox believes that the most terrifying elder to battle with was Elder Koronn.
Time bent at the will of the Time Demon. The title, Time Demon, is something that Elder Koronn got when he was very active in his duties in the Daemos Corps. He was actually the most feared of the demons back then because of his influence over time itself. He can even defeat a demon with temporal magic which made every demigod afraid of him even though he was just a greater demon then.
"Ah! This will really hurt my back later." Elder Koronn stated but he is actually just saying that because he is really not in the mood to fight.
As if his personality was affected by his mastery over temporal magic, he really likes to waste his time doing his hobbies and not being useful to the world. He was the one that perceived time as nothing more than a tool which is why he rarely goes out unless he is interested. He only went out to battle this time because Ascalor was still recuperating, and Bronx was preparing the Daemos Corps.
"Still, the fact that my own temporal magic cannot fully restore the crack meant that something divine made that crack. The best that I can do is hold the seal and destroy all these pests that are flying around me." Elder Koronn stated as he actually expected to restore the seal with his magic.
Elder Koronn thought that he could restore the seal in one go but something blocked him from doing so. Something was mixed into the cracks that made sure that deterioration would be its normal state. As if the enemies already expected that a demon would reverse time to fix the seal. He knew that only extremely rare things can do this as interfering with time itself is also a natural process for Koronn like breathing.
Koronn views turning back time as a state where the target just reverses into its natural state. Living and non-living things have the same process as all of them have states. As long as the registered state of the exploded rock for example is a large boulder then he will be able to revert it to that. The seal that he is trying to reverse has registered that its natural state is that of numerous cracks.
The best that Koronn could do is to make sure that the seal will be maintained at its less cracked state. Still, he cannot force this as always reversing time would drain a lot from him as temporal magic drains the most mana among Origin Magic. He also cannot delay the inevitable which is the release of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. He just made the logical choice of holding it as long as he can while the armies below defeated all the annoying light monsters.
"You cannot hold the seal forever, demon!" The voice of the Goddess of Light Luminaria shouted as she can still feel the seal weakening even if it slowed down.
"Just pipe it down, you old hag! We would have let you do anything, but your minions dare kill demons. We shall make sure that you will be sealed for at least a millennium. I bet that will weaken you thoroughly as you will be forgotten by then." Elder Koronn stated.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria knew that demons do not bluff as the demons would definitely seal her when they have the chance. She also did not plan to have the demons killed because that was really not in her plan. She even warned her minions to just let the demons do their task of maintaining the world.
She knows the real reason why the demons exist, and she did not want to have them exterminated. She actually never advocated for the eradication of the demons as it was only her radical believers that did so. She only told her believers back then to never trust a demon as they are beings of destruction and told them to stay away. She did not expect that the radical followers that she had would twist it to spread that she wanted the demons exterminated.
She did not want to admit it, but she was swept away by these radical ideologies as well because it brought her great faith. Her power rose when radical ideologies from her faith risen as well. Even if she knew that the demons are the ones maintaining the world and the universal barrier just by existing.
"Since threats do not work on you then I shall give you some useful things. I can tell you about your father, Demon Koronn." The voice of the Goddess of Light Luminaria stated without any aggression.
Koronn might not have replied but he could be seen to have reacted strongly to the words of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. The Goddess of Light Luminaria was able to see Elder Koronn's reaction even though she can only peer through the cracks. She held this information because she believed this was valuable to deal with the demons should they stop her from taking over.
"You want that don't you? I know that you have been looking for your father. You were famous back then for being only born from one demon parent." The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated as she knew of Koronn's identity.
"I no longer need such a thing because I already have a new family. You have touched that new family which is why you will pay dearly for it." Elder Koronn stated as he started to no longer entertain the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria is shocked to learn of this as this was her trump card against the demons. She held vital information that an Arch Demon was searching for his whole life. What the Goddess of Light Luminaria did not know is that Elder Koronn has greatly changed since his last experience with the River of Time. If the Goddess of Light Luminaria offered this information before that happened, then she might have gotten a deal from the demons.
"WahHHHHH!" The Goddess of Light Luminaria screamed as she no longer has anything that she can use against the demons.
She believed greatly that the information about the father of Koronn would be enough to make the demons turn a blind eye as long as she promises not to destroy the stability of the world. She started to rampage inside the sealed dimension as her plan has failed. She then started to wrack her brain on why that is the case as demons are known to be stubborn and held to their personal beliefs.
"That damned, young demon! Equinox!" The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated as she remembered the demon that humiliated her.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria knew that the changes within the psyche of the demons are due to him. He was the greatest variable that entered the fray which almost made her plan blow into smoke. He was the reason why the demons cared more for the world now then before when they only cared about making sure that it is maintained.
"Make sure to kill that young demon and erase him from existence! No… I shall personally do it myself or else my grudge will not cease." The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated as her whole body started to glow.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria noticed that her humanoid form started to get disintegrated which is why she calmed herself down. She was almost about to release her true celestial form and vaporize some of her creations in the sealed dimension. She had to be careful as she will find it difficult to revert to a humanoid form should she release her true form as she will become vulnerable to being killed in that form.
