Omega Summoner

“I think I now understand why you called it that because you saved that point in time. It is actually quite innovative thinking and so fresh!” Elder Koronn stated.

“Yeah! You got the gist of what I wanted to say.” Adrian stated as he smiled through the teeth.

Adrian did not think that his words would be translated as it is as he called it that because of games. A save point is a designated location in a game where the player can save their progress and resume from that point. Older games tend to do this when they have large worlds where the players cannot progress through all of it in one day.

Pandemonium is a game where there is no save point that freezes the world with you in it. If you die then you will die and respawn in a town, city, or kingdom. The spell basically creates a fixed moment in time where everything will come back to when affected by an external stimulus too much. It was a crazy spell that could literally save a city from destruction should a large meteor land on it.

This spell could literally turn the tables against enemies when used in wars. For example, the spell was cast before a torrent of spells from the enemy kingdom hits your army. The army that was wiped out would just be reverted back to a state where they were not decimated while the enemy army lost vast amounts of resources. It is a spell that is literally a game changer, and Adrian became greedy to be able to use it.

“Still, the spell seems incomplete as it only took into account the fixed point of the living entities inside of it. A save point should also include all the elements like the air and the ground as long as it does not cause disarray on the world itself.” Adrian stated as he was now looking at the magic circle as a scribe and not just a practitioner of temporal magic.

Adrian began to copy the magic circle and started making some adjustments into it. Elder Koronn peeked at the things that Adrian was scribbling about, and he is shocked. The things that Adrian added did not make any sense individually, but they looked feasible when used in unison. Elder Koronn could only feel proud that Adrian could confidently create some suggestions on the magic circles despite it not being correct in his mind.

“All of the things he added made sense, but they are not going to work. Was giving him this trial too much? Even I cannot easily fix this defective magic circle since it is incomplete as he said” Elder Koronn thought.

“I think that should do it. Let me test it now in a smaller scale.” Adrian stated as he took out some fruit from his inventory.

He then proceeded to use one of the magic cores to fuel the magic circle as his own mana will not be enough. Adrian placed the fruit and created a small-scale magic circle. The magic circle was small, but it actually reduced his mana by a quarter already. He then grabbed the magic core and used the mana in it to regulate the needed amount to continue the operation of the magic circle.

“Can you pierce that apple?” Adrian stated but Elder Koronn was still dumbfounded that the former was able to stabilize the magic circle he was trying to fix for about a week now.

“How did you make it so stable? There is not even a trace of energy leaking out which was the problem earlier” Elder Koronn stated, and Adrian did feel it earlier as he was blasted in the face with temporal energy when he opened the door.

“I applied some runes that are from an ancient civilization that I saw when I visited the ruins of that primordial beast of the sky. I cross referenced it to the ones that is used by this kingdom that used to live back then called the Skywing Kingdom. I was able to make it a usable rune by experimenting with numerous combinations that I burned a thousand gold in three days. Anyways, can you please try destroying the fruit now.” Adrian stated as if what he did was easy.

“Fine. Just because it is stable does not mean that it will work.” Elder Koronn grumbled like a child as he was really stressed about this research.

Elder Koronn shot the apple with a mana bullet, and it burst out. Some of the juice even directly hit Adrian in the face but he did not say anything. The apple or what is left of it suddenly started to revert back to its original state after the magic circle glowed in a golden light. The shock on Elder Koronn’s face could be seen as Adrian was able to make the spell work.

Even the juice that splattered in Adrian’s face returned back into the apple as well as every piece it became. Adrian thought that it was successful and Elder Koronn was about to be a bit salty that the former was able to crack the secret, but the magic circle suddenly got broken. The magic circle that stabilized the time reversal was destroyed as if it was never there. There was not even a trace of mana left from the magic circle as the magic core used to fuel it became particles of light as well.

The apple that partially reverted back to its former shape suddenly exploded once again. This time, Adrian was a bit prepared and froze time himself to avoid being splashed by the juice. Once he was out of the way, Adrian made time flow once again as the juices hit Elder Koronn’s face instead.

“Hmm… It seems that the runes I added were not enough to stabilize the spell.” Adrian stated but Elder Koronn’s sticky hands patted his shoulder.

“That is fine, brat. Failure is a step in the right direction.” Elder Koronn stated but he was actually slightly relieved that it failed or else Adrian might look less of him.
