Having vanquished the grim, Nova turned to Miguel and revealed a charming smile. She then picked up her communicator and said, "All units, fall into formation. We're going to storm out of here with a coordinated assault and take out the grims at the back.” "Team One, ready.""Team Two, ready."Tens of thousands of young men and women organized themselves into a flawless formation: assault, defense, long-range support, cover fire, scouts, support, and medical units. Upon close observation, one would find that their formation bore a remarkable resemblance to the one Adrian had deployed during the Battle of Azure Creek.After the teams had prepared themselves, Nova, their leader, shouted, "Charge!"The team surged forward like a tidal wave.At eighteen years old, Nova now understood everything that was happening through her continuous learning. She knew about the Creator, the meteorites on Isle 416, and everything else that had occurred. The young men and women who became her compa

"That's good. Everyone, please leave us. There's something I'd like to tell Nova alone."Everyone promptly exited the room, and Steel instructed, "Close the door."Nova quickly closed the door and returned to his side.Suddenly, Steel's tone became serious as he said, "Kneel.”Without a second thought, Nova knelt.Steel then commanded, "I want you to recite Wyvern Peak's principles and your heartfelt dedication to me."Nova did not hesitate and began reciting the principles, “Never surrender, never retreat, never betray."Steel sighed and reached out to touch Nova's face. With trembling hands, Nova took Steel's hand and placed it against her cheek. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "I don't want you to leave me, Mr. Steel. Who will take care of Novemton if you go?" "Nova, do you know why I've been so strict with you from such a young age? Do you remember all that I’ve told you? Now is the time.""Time for what? What are you talking about?" Nova asked in puzzlement.

Time seemed to freeze as Nova's mind went blank. All her hatred evaporated in an instant.Tears blurred her vision as she looked at the ailing Steel and cried, "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you wait until now to tell me this?""I'm sorry, Nova. We did this so that you could grow up better. Your hatred toward him was fueling your fighting spirit, and we all hoped you would become like your father."Nova wiped her tears and said, "I don't blame you, Mr. Steel. Where did my father go? Why did he never come back? It's been eighteen years since he left.""He and Rozi went to find a way to save this world. Something most likely happened to him, which is why he hasn't returned. Even though our satellites can't locate him, I believe he's still alive."Nova sobbed uncontrollably. She could not believe that the father she had resented for eighteen years was Sir Draco."Mr. Steel…” Nova got on her knees again, clutching Steel's hand and crying like a child.Steel gently stroked her hair

"I’ll never back down no matter what happens.""That's good. I-I'll be watching over you…f-from above…" Steel's hand fell limp."Mr. Steel!" Nova screamed.Thus, Steel died. He had been Adrian’s subordinate for four years and stood by Wyvern Peak his whole life. Even so, he had not achieved many incredible feats that would make him a legend.Nonetheless, Steel had executed Adrian's orders flawlessly as a battle warrior. He had suffered defeats in battle but fought on with unyielding determination. In his sixties, he was no longer as lively as he was in his prime.And he had now left the world.***The generals of Wyvern Peak were waiting outside as Nova emerged from the room without her usual smile. Instead, she looked determined. She clenched her fists as she slowly walked out.Samantha anxiously asked, “How is he?"Nova replied hoarsely, "Mr. Steel has passed."Some people rushed into the room and some fell to their knees. Meanwhile, news of Steel’s death spread throughout

Nova paused but did not turn around. She feared that she would not be able to leave if she did. She uttered, “Mother.”Samantha bit her lip and stood before Nova. She had raised her daughter for eighteen years, but Nova was about to leave her as Adrian had. She fought back her tears and asked, "Are you really leaving?"Nova nodded. "I'm a grown-up now, Mother. I'm no longer the little girl you cuddled in your arms."Samantha's tears rolled down her cheeks as she covered her mouth.Nova continued, "Mr. Steel told me everything. For eighteen years, I thought Father was a liar. I now find out that he's actually Sir Draco, the man I've admired all my life. His blood flows in my veins. As his daughter, I must finish what he couldn't. If he's still alive, I'll find him and bring him back to you.""Your dad is most likely dead, and I don't want to lose you either," Samantha sobbed."Even so, I must go."Samantha knew she could not stop Nova, nor could she bear to. Nova was much differe

“Attack!""Attack!"The ground trembled as armored vehicles sped out the city gates. These vehicles would carry Nova and her companions to Mount Regent in their search for the Timewinder.Rumble, rumble, rumble!The earth shook and the sky quivered. Suddenly, something seemed to form in the sky. A colossal blood-red entity appeared on the horizon. Its sinister appearance exuded endless malevolence that enveloped the world.The people were shocked when they saw the massive apparition."What is that thing? It's enormous!"Ivy and the others stood on the Novemton City walls, gazing at the entity on the horizon."It looks like a massive bloodstorm is heading our way.” Ivy frowned."A storm that size will eradicate everything if it gets here. We don’t have much time left—a year at most. That blood storm will be our doomsday.""Let's hope Nova finds the Timewinder and forces the Creator out. We have to defeat him before that happens.”The young soldiers were the city's last hope.

Rozi walked along the passage as she examined her surroundings. Ten minutes later, she noticed the walls had a series of murals that made her stop."Partingians drew these," Rozi muttered as she touched the walls.The paintings told a story similar to the one the world had seen recently.Rozi analyzed them and realized they explained one essential thing. A Partingian mining team had dug up this meteorite many years ago, and the Partingian emperor ordered an investigation.When the first group of investigators entered the meteorite, they faced an illusion. They thought they were stuck inside forever, sliding downward in a never-ending tunnel. The Partingians studied the meteorite and discovered black worms living inside it. The worms could induce hallucinations, and those who fell victim would never wake up.The Partingians then found a method to counter these worms and sent a second team. This team used this new method to descend into the meteorite safely. Afterward, they explored

"Are you alive? Talk to me," Rozi asked worriedly. "I'm alive," Adrian replied.Rozi heaved a sigh of relief. Adrian had to force his legs, which he had not used in eighteen years, to move and get off of Rozi. As he looked around, she was shocked when she got a proper look at him."What happened to you? Look at your hair… And your beard…" she said.Adrian did not answer and calmly surveyed their surroundings. Rozi would not have recognized him if he was not standing right in front of her.After a moment of silence, Rozi asked, "Did you not hear me? What's going on here?""Eighteen years have passed.""What?! Eighteen years?! Impossible! All I did was take a nap and eighteen years have passed?!" Rozi exclaimed.Adrian ignored Rozi and sat down. He took out his dagger and proceeded to cut his hair and beard. While cleaning himself up, he said, "My body is a reflection of how much time has passed. It's been eighteen years. I felt like I was stuck in limbo.""E-Eighteen years?
