"What the heck was that?!" Adrian muttered upon reviving as he vanished without a trace when the powerful temporal spell hit him.
"You did better than I though as you at least reacted to the spell, but you were far too late. I managed to freeze you in time when your concentration is at the very bottom. Remember that freezing time against the Daemos is possible if one does not have a clear grip or focus on reality." Elder Koronn stated.
"I though something was strange earlier. You froze time to shorten the cast time of the spell. I also do that, but it takes incredible concentration to even pull off." Adrian stated.
"Still, you did better than I anticipated as I did not hold back at all. I fought you like I would any enemy attempting to take my life. For that, I shall give you an evaluation of 60% because of your use of temporal magic. Even if your control is not as good as mine, you were able to somewhat slow me in time." Elder Koronn stated.
"I guess so. You did tell me that I would pass if I managed to dodge that spell, but I did not." Adrian stated as he is a bit frustrated because he thought he might pass this time.
"This is where you two were." Elder Bronx suddenly stated as he also returned back to Avalon then went to Paradox Planes to look for the other elders.
"Oh! You are here, Bronx. Quickly and do a test on the brat as he asked the both of us to evaluate him on his control over the sub elements of Origin Magic." Elder Ascalor stated.
"It seems that the boy's mental state is already tired. He would need to rest in order to have a far better evaluation against me. We have to talk about something as I have received word from the others." Elder Bronx stated.
"It seems that you managed to delay this one, brat. Better get going before Bronx changes his mind." Elder Ascalor stated.
"Thanks, Elder Bronx. I shall be on my way for now." Adrian stated.
"Be sure to return here tomorrow at the same time for your evaluation." Elder Bronx stated before Adrian vanished.
"So, what is the important thing that you need to tell us." Elder Bronx stated.
"The world has expanded far too fast, and it is bigger than we can see. We would need to concede the rights of observation to the other races or get a representative from them. Unless the kid can find the Eye of Chaos which can bring back the souls of our fallen comrades into the reincarnation cycle, we will not be able to monitor the world as it is now." Elder Bronx stated.
"Even the kid cannot find such a valuable thing that we cannot find. Remember that we even contacted a Seer, and she said that a Demon chosen by the Twin Gods and has the blood of the ancestors will be the one to find the Eye of Chaos." Elder Koronn stated.
"Does that mean we need the power of all the other descendants? The overgrown lizards should also be able to help but they like sleeping more than monitoring the world. They always say that they are monitoring the world, but they usually just sleep for a hundred or so years which turns the world into pure mayhem." Elder Ascalor stated as there was a time where the Daemos stepped back due to the pressure of the dragons.
"I remember that time. The world was riddled with travelers and part of the world was destroyed completely. If I did not break the taboo and reversed time back, then part of the world would have been erased." Elder Koronn stated.
"That was the first time we lost you to the River of Time, but you managed to return on your own eventually." Elder Bronx stated.
"Your eventually is 123 years to be exact and I do not want to use that spell again. The Time Reapers will not take so kindly to me the next time." Elder Koronn stated.
"Elder Pann did tell me something as the boy was looking for the World Fusion Spell. He said that he will give it to him should he pass our evaluations. The Twin Gods said that they need to fuse the worlds of the other descendants into the main world to prepare for something." Elder Koronn added.
"What if we form the Council of Five once again?" Elder Ascalor stated.
"The Council of Five disbanded because the other descendants are no longer connected to the main world. Even the Jotunns do not have a clear portal to arrive here. They should be connected to the world first in order to create the council." Elder Bronx stated.
The discussion of the Daemos Elders continued as they assessed the options that they can do. Meanwhile, Adrian went to visit Saena as she is currently perched on the Tree of Life and Death. He messaged Levin Cloud on what he is doing but there was no reply. It seems that his best friend is also busy on the other end.
[A territory has been established where the Nephilim can propagate.]
"Oh! It seems that Ark and the others are successful in getting land, but the Nephilim Race has yet to be a playable race." Adrian muttered as he closed the notification window.
The next day came, and Adrian returned to the Paradox Planes with the three Daemos Elders are waiting for him. He thought that it would only be Elder Bronx that would be here, but it seems the other two will observe. Adrian took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally as he spent the rest of the time yesterday healing his mind by playing with his soulbounds.
"The rules of the evaluation are simple as well. The only spells and skills that you can use must be related to Force Magic. Other types of magic are not to be used as this would not be accurate should you use other magics. Begin!" Elder Bronx stated as he also transformed into his true battle form.
[All of your other skills will be sealed. Only spells and skills of the Force Element can be used.]
[Passive skills will not be locked.]
[Do your best against Elder Bronx.]

As soon as Elder Bronx said that the evaluation has begun, he immediately went hurtling towards Adrian with such powerful force. Even the wind itself was being cut just by hitting his large body. Adrian expanded his Potential Barrier in order to stop the kinetic energy of Elder Bronx, but it only slowed him down by 10%.
"Not bad!" Elder Bronx stated as he saw Adrian get some distance.
Adrian could only gulp as the hulking figure of Elder Bronx is indeed something to be scared of. He always thought that Elder Bronx' enemies would lose heart if they saw him charging towards him. He is now experiencing the dreadful feeling of Elder Bronx' enemies when they are against Force incarnated on a physical body.
"Seismic Clap!" Elder Bronx stated as he suddenly performed a powerful clap that expelled a burst of energy in a cone.
"Potential Barrier!" Adrian casted as he wants to dissipate the force as this absorbs some energy, but he was blown away. The power of the Seismic Clap was indeed great, but Adrian managed to recover by using his wings. He did not get knocked back as much but he can now see Elder Bronx rushing towards him like a raging bull.
"If you cannot beat them then you should use what they are also doing." Adrian stated as he infused his body with the same force that Elder Bronx was using and charged forward as well.
Elder Bronx charged towards Adrian in a veil of red force while Adrian is in veil of purple energy. Adrian made sure to also coat his wings in order to increase his flight speed even more. The two clashed and created a powerful shockwave that even destroyed some floating stone debris. Elder Bronx was pushed back by ten meters, but Adrian was sent flying towards a large asteroid.
Adrian crashed directly on the asteroid and lost a lot of health. He was losing focus as his vision is suddenly blurry. He clashed with Elder Bronx head on and is miraculously still alive. Even if that live is actually just barely alive.
"Wahaha!" Elder Bronx started to laugh.
"What is funny?" Adrian asked.
"You are actually the first demon to ever clash with me when using Force Magic. The others would avoid head on collision, but you did. You even survived direct contact by utilizing the barrier skills that I taught you. Indeed, I am now even more pumped up for this. Get ready, Equinox." Elder Bronx stated as he suddenly looked incredibly fascinated which made Adrian gulp.
