Chapter 2115: Activating the Time Relic
Wisteria's appearance is still that of a dragon turtle, but she now looked ethereal. Wisteria's current size is about three meters tall, but she told Adrian that she reduced her size to a tenth of her original. She also said that she could increase her size exponentially when she uses Geomancy which means that she could increase her total size to that of 300 meters if she wishes to do so.
Wisteria's head is now more dragon that turtle as her pink skin tone along with her jade cloudlike eyebrows. Her eyes look like that of a small, scaled world as if she has the actual world in her eyes. The scales at the side of her head looked like the wings of a golden butterfly which elevates her charm and beauty. Her head shape is also slenderer compared to Kanlaon's robust and refined look which extenuates her feminine energy.
Another thing that changed is that her shell now has clouds at the side moving as if it was the ground. The clouds floating around her looked like they were representing the sky while the shell on her back represented the earth or a world. The most interesting thing that changed with Wisteria is the tree on her back changing to become almost the same as the Tree of Life and Death.
The only difference from the Tree of Life and Death is the fact that Wisteria's tree has a pearl like object located at the center where the two different tree looks intertwine. Other than her outer appearance changing drastically, the aura around Wisteria changed as well. She was not a divine beast like Kimat and Saena or a Disaster monster like Sirius and Charon. Wisteria actually exuded the aura that is the same of a primordial beast.
"Master! I am now stronger!" Wisteria stated with great joy as her dream of becoming more powerful has finally been achieved.
"I am glad as well." Adrian stated as he patted Wisteria's head.
The sight of a large dragon turtle monster wagging her tail over a few head pats is such a mind-boggling scene. Adrian is just glad that Wisteria evolved safely as he knew that she might have failed. Adrian is actually quite lucky when evolving his soulbounds, but he has some idea to increase the odds. He has a speculation that the world will increase the odds of evolution when you pick an evolutionary path that has no more living species.
"What are we going to do next, master? I want to test my new strength." Wisteria asked.
"You are going to rest as evolution also takes some form of strain on a monster. When you feel completely fine then we will dive in a dungeon to test your strength." Adrian stated which made Wisteria pout, but the latter always followed master.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wisteria agreed with Adrian's suggestion as her body was telling her to sleep as if all her stamina was used. She was pushing via willpower which is why she is returned to the soul chamber to rest. The other soulbounds wanted to play with Wisteria but they know the feeling of low stamina upon successful evolution. Evolution does not mean everything will recover as stamina is used for this process.
"Since I have nothing to do for now, I think I need to use this." Adrian stated as he took out the 'A Forgotten Time God's Relic'
The broken hourglass looking relic looked like it was inviting Adrian to use it. He even felt like something was inviting him to use the relic. He knew that this relic still has some form of will as an ordinary relic will not entice the one that has it. He believed that he is the only one that could feel this enticement as he can use temporal magic.
[Do you wish to use the 'A Forgotten Time God's Relic'?]
"Yes." Adrian stated as a powerful wave of energy suddenly enveloped his body, but he was not sent to another place.
Adrian looked around and the world was suddenly frozen is time. Even the Daemos that are immune to temporal shifts were frozen in time. He could even see Old Man Pann frozen in time as he fed his monsters. The entire world was at a standstill and only Adrian was the one that could move.
"I suddenly had a bad feeling about this." Adrian stated as he felt the powerful energy coalescing behind him.
"Greetings, challenger." A hooded spectral being with a giant clock behind him greeted Adrian in this frozen world.
"Greetings to you as well." Adrian replied as he wanted to be polite since the being in front of him managed to make the world stop.
"A demon? To think that a demon would one day do my trial. Such a sad thing that I am only a fragment of my real self as this would have been very entertaining. Regardless, do you wish to participate in my trial?" The hooded spectral being asked.
"Can I know what to call you first?" Adrian asked.
"You can just call me, Time. I may be a fragment of my real self, but I have completely forgotten about what my former self was." Time stated as it genuinely did not remember who it was.
"Thank you, Time. I would like to take the trial." Adrian replied.
"A challenger has been listed in the Rivers of the Cosmos. Equinox is his name." Time stated as a scroll suddenly appeared in front of him and about a thousand mana was taken from Adrian.
The mana that was taken from Adrian is sent to the scroll where his name Equinox is burned as letters. Adrian suddenly felt that the universe became closer as if he was being watched by it. He did not know what he just signed his name onto, but he knew that it will not be an easy journey to complete it.
"With your name in the Temporal Cosmic Scroll, the agreement has been made. I shall now issue the first Temporal Cosmic Challenge." Time stated.
