Omega Summoner
chapter-1951

"What should I do? You got to help me!? I will even give you permission to use my crop that you stole." Farmer Vincent stated but Adrian cannot help him, or he might mess up the timeline.

Adrian was about to answer Farmer Vincent, but he suddenly paused as a wave of temporal energy swept the area again. Adrian managed to protect himself from the temporal energy wave by hiding in a pocket dimension, but it looked like he vanished from Farmer Vincent's point of view. Seeing Adrian suddenly vanished made Farmer Vincent think of other ways to save himself.

"My master has told you that he can only save you when you are near death. He cannot deal with your problems that you have created in this time. Your best course of action is to run just like what my master told you." Sirius suddenly stated as he was hiding inside of Farmer Vincent's shadow as he can hide from the temporal energy wave there.

"Who said that?!" Farmer Vincent stated.

"Farmer Vincent! If you do not show yourself then we shall treat this as truth that you have colluded with a witch!" The voice of the paladin leader shouted.

"I am coming but do not destroy anything on my farm!" Farmer Vincent shouted as he heard some of his fences being broken down from the outside.

"They do not want to talk to you. They already have their swords in hand. Escape while you still can." Sirius stated as he was told to not interfere to much with the past.

"I am not listening to a minion of a nature spirit that suddenly vanished." Farmer Vincent stated as he went out of the barn.

As soon as Farmer Vincent walked out of the barn and is in sight, a powerful light magic suddenly came down upon him. Sirius did not bother to protect him as he was told not to interfere but only advise. Even if Sirius did not protect Farmer Vincent, a powerful aura of life suddenly burst out from him and created a barrier made of vines to protect him.

The barrier of vines managed to stop the attack from killing Farmer Vincent, but it also made him feel a bit dizzy. It was his mana that was used to conjure the protective barrier. This was one of the blessings that was given to him by a Faekin.

"RUN NOW!" Sirius shouted to Farmer Vincent to snap him out of his daze.

Farmer Vincent started to run towards the forest while the paladins were still distracted with the sudden appearance of a barrier made of vines. He did not know where to run but just instinctively ran towards the forest as he might be able to hide there for a brief moment. As soon as the paladins noticed that Farmer Vincent was fine, they tried to follow up with him, but their steeds were not moving as if they were rooted on the ground.

"It's the magic of a witch! She must have been the one protecting him!" The real witch stated as she felt shadow magic on the feet of the horses.

"After him!" The leader of the paladins stated as he coated his steed with light magic.

The shadows that held the horses were destroyed as Sirius did not mean to root them there forever. Sirius was told to not interfere, but he believed that giving the farmer a head start will not change much of the present. Seeing the paladins chase after a farmer blessed by forest guardians inside a forest, Sirius waited for his master to return from his pocket dimension.

The real witch was left alone in front of the farm, but she suddenly felt that her eyes become heavy. She tried using her magic and asking for the help of the devil she contracted with but there was no reply. It was only then that the witch learned that she was abandoned as she made contact with the Church of Light. She fell down in front of the farm and slowly died as her life force was sucked away by the crop.

"Master! You are back!" Sirius stated as he clung to Adrian's shadow.

"I needed to stay hidden for a long period of time to make sure. What happened to Farmer Vincent?" Adrian asked as Sirius answered everything as their connection is not solid when Adrian hides in a pocket dimension.

"I see. It seems the past is up to standard. We should also chase after them." Adrian stated as he rode Sirius as they entered the forest.

"Hah! Haa! I did nothing wrong! Why are you trying to kill me?!" Farmer Vincent shouted as he could see the Church of Light Paladins when he slightly looked back.

"What are you saying? We are merely trying to punish a helper of a witch! Do not run if you are not one!" The leader of the paladins stated but he was already seeing red and can only think of the promotion at hand.

The paladins tried their best to chase after Farmer Vincent, but a dense forest is not somewhere horses can freely roam. Another blessing of Farmer Vincent also activated and that is increased stamina regeneration when inside a forest. He did not know that he can outrun horses, but he was thinking it was all his survival instincts that led him to not be captured.

Still, it seems that Farmer Vincent's luck ran out. He was now at the edge of a cliff with the paladins hounding him. The leader of the paladins dismounted but still has his sword up. They knew that this farmer was useful, and they might still get their promotion if they give them the witch that aided him.

"We can strike a deal. Tell us where is the witch that is helping you then we shall let you live. Of course, all your crops will be under our care or else the head of the church will learn of your dealings with a witch." The leader of the paladins stated.
