Chapter 1858

Author: Celestial Clouds
Nova continued with her training, becoming increasingly skilled in Herculean Boxing. She would surely surpass Adrian.

"Hahaha! What's going on with you today? Why do you seem so angry?" Steel put away his stern expression and replaced it with a kind smile as he walked toward Nova.

"Mr. Steel," Nova called out to him as she calmed herself.

"Have you been arguing with your mother?"

Nova nodded. "I asked her about my father, but she wouldn't tell me anything and even hit me. Can you tell me who my father is, Mr. Steel? Why does everyone say he's a liar?"

Steel smiled and replied, "Your father's not a liar, Nova. You shouldn't listen to them."

"Are you going to lie to me too? I may be young, but I know he must've told a lot of lies. That’s why everyone hates him so much."

"Is that so?" Steel asked.

"I know that even though Mom is always taking his side, she doesn't know whether he'll ever come back. Who was he? What was his name? Why did he have to leave?" Nova asked.

    The children learned about Sir Draco and new information filled their minds. They were highly curious about him, but that was when school was declared to be over for the day. The children returned home, and so did Nova. "Mom, Mom!" Nova called out as she excitedly ran into the kitchen. Samantha, who was preparing dinner, was a bit surprised. She knelt down to hold Nova's shoulders. "What's going on, darling?"Nova, with puffed-up cheeks, said, "Ms. Helen taught us something new today.""What about?" Samantha replied.Nova asked with a hopeful expression, "Mom, do you know Sir Draco? Ms. Helen said he's an amazing person who protected us."Samantha felt comforted when she heard this from her daughter. However, upon recalling her prior conversation with Steel, she knew she had no choice but to hide the truth from Nova. As she continued to smile and stroke Nova's head, Samantha said, "Of course, I do. He's the most amazing man in the world. He not only protected me but you too."

    "It's Strider and Sir Dominus!""We will never surrender!" "Never surrender!""Let's kill him!"War drums echoed and roars filled the air. The five soldiers on the mountaintop fought the enormous shadow. They showed unwavering determination and courage as Nova played the role of an onlooker, observing the battle from the sky.Soon, Remy, Sage, and Sylvia grew exhausted, and the gigantic shadow threatened to take them down. Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in the sky, and a man and a woman flew to the mountaintop from the distant horizon.The beautiful woman hovered in mid-air, facing the colossal shadow without fear, while the rugged man, wielding a sword, confronted the shadow as well. With a resounding screech, a massive eagle flew over. A burst of light emanated from the bird’s eyes, piercing through the darkness."Kill him!"A powerful battle cry resonated, and the battle raged on.The man wielding the sword was pierced by the gigantic shadow and fell to the ground."S

    Nova went to school as usual the next day.Samantha headed to Novemton headquarters to find Steel. He was in a meeting, so waited for him in the lobby. After a while, he emerged from the meeting room, looking a little worn out."What brings you here, Sam?" Steel asked."You have so much white hair now. You've aged so much, Steel," Samantha commented as she pursed her lips. Steel chuckled and replied, "I'm almost in my sixties, which is way past retirement age. It's all right. We all grow old someday. How have you been? I'm sorry I haven't come to visit. I've been busy.""I'm just working and accompanying Nova day after day. Everything else is going well. Gloria's doing well too. Oh, the chicken you gave us the other day was really delicious by the way.""That's good to hear. Let's take a seat inside."They entered Steel's office and sat down. Samantha got right to the point. "Steel, I’m here today because of Nova. Adrian's been missing for five years, and Nova's now six now.

    Samantha followed Steel to the radar room, where Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, Helen, Padraig, Cian, and other prominent figures of Novemton were already present. As the pair strode into the office, the crowd made way for them. Susan was seated before the control panel, diligently operating the radar."How are we doing? Is the signal stable?" Steel asked.Helen responded, "Based on preliminary assessments, the radar signal is stable. The satellites are functioning normally, and we can establish contact with various locations. We've already located War Legate Dominus, who's currently at Wyvern Peak. We haven't been able to locate Sir Strider though."Helen frowned as she looked at the images on the radar monitor. Getting the satellites online was Steel's first priority as they needed to locate Strider, the one missing member of their team who had not shown up.Steel said, "Expand the search area. Use the satellites to scan all of Navia, the whole world if we have to. We'll find Sir Strider no

    Steel stood before the monitor with his hands clenched tightly behind his back as he trembled slightly.The people inside the radar room were whispering to one another. Steel gritted his teeth and said, "Initiate a satellite scan of Mount Regent and find out if Strider is still alive. Why would they go there? Strider isn’t the kind of leader to do something meaningless.""Yes, sir.""Expand the search. Do a comprehensive search of the area.“Scan initiated, targeting Mount Regent. Scanning in progress.”Beep, beep, beep!"The scan is complete. Steel, we've got the results." Helen handed over a printout of some images to Steel.He examined the images as everyone gathered around to take a look. Most of the pictures showed the structural scans of Mount Regent's mountain range, showing the direction and layout of the entire mountain.As they gazed at the Evercrest soldiers who had died on the mountain, they noticed something unusual."What's this?" Padraig pointed at some outlin

    "Okay."When Samantha and Steel were out of the room, Steel began, "Your intuition was correct, Nova's dream seems to be something that's destined to happen. Perhaps there’s something called a Timewinder, and the person who's capable of controlling it is Nova."Last night, Sir Draco appeared in Nova's dream, instructing her to take control of the Timewinder. This suggests that he knows about the Timewinder, although we don't know where he is now.""I find this pretty astonishing. Nova’s just a six-year-old child. How could she have the ability to control something like Timewinder?” Samantha said, "Also, are we sure that's the Timewinder we saw back there?""Strider wouldn't have sacrificed his men at Mount Regent if that weren't the case. He took a gamble, betting that he'd come out victorious. Coupled with Nova's dream, it's easy to conclude that that thing is indeed the Timewinder,” Steel answered."What are you planning to do next?" "This isn't something we can resolve overni

    "Nova… Nova!"The voice sounded like someone standing right by the window.Nova woke up and looked out the window. Next to her, Samantha was sound asleep. As she sat up with a confused expression, the voice called out again. Feeling a mysterious sense of fear, Nova considered waking her mother. However, she also felt a strange pull from outside as if something was drawing her. She ultimately decided to wake Samantha out of fear."Mom! Mom!" Nova pushed Samantha.Samantha woke up and quickly wrapped Nova in her arms. "What's wrong?"Nova pointed toward the window and said, "Mom, I think someone was calling me from outside.""What?!" Samantha immediately opened the window to look outside, but the streets were empty. "There's nobody out there. Are you sure you weren't dreaming?"Nova was not sure. All she remembered was someone calling out to her.Samantha knew that her daughter had experienced some unusual things in the past few days, so she held Nova and comforted her, "It's o

    Adrian felt like he was dreaming—a long, long dream, possibly influenced by something within the meteorite. In the dream, his mind was clear and he knew what he had to do. He was unable to wake up from his dream, just like Gloria back in Isle 416. In it, he witnessed the ultimate battle.He also saw Nova and Samantha sleeping in their room. He tried calling out to his daughter but was unable to touch her. The dream felt real, yet entirely different from the ones Gloria had experienced.In this dream, Adrian could go anywhere. It was as if his soul had departed from the world and gone on an eternal and unending journey.***A few more years passed. Humanity stood strong, and the cities continued to develop as everyone waited for the ultimate ending. Sir Draco, the man whom they had believed in, had yet to return.Whoosh!Whoosh! A series of wind sounds could be heard from the training ground at Wyvern Peak's headquarters. A thirteen-year-old girl was punching at some boulders be

    The Daemon Emperor was startled."What is happening? This power..."Formless energy was surging forward, pressuring his nerves and senses.Below, Andy and the others trembled uncontrollably."Who is it?" Finnian stared into the crimson mist.Even Andy was horrified, his gaze locked on the unfolding scene in disbelief, and asked, "What is this? What exactly is happening?" At this moment, Adrian abruptly opened his eyes.Apparently, the Daemon Emperor had once conspired with Adrian's subordinates to ambush him.However, Adrian had managed to annihilate the traitors and sealed this Daemon Emperor. Now, fate had brought them together again."If I killed you once, I can kill you again." Adrian stood tall, his white robes fluttering in the air.The Daemon Emperor was stunned into silence."This is impossible! You're not that mortal boy!""Is that so? In this life, your end has come, and so has the era of the daemons." Adrian's voice was calm yet resolute. He stretched out his han

    Adrian's face hardened at the words. He despised threats above all else. While he understood what the mysterious entity desired, he couldn't yet fully comprehend its implications or find a way to counter it. His only choice was to focus on growing stronger.Within the hot spring, waves of raw, terrifying power surged and crashed violently against Adrian's body.The force, though beneficial, was brutal and overwhelming. Adrian's body struggled to endure, cracking as though it were disintegrating."Arghhh!"A heart-wrenching scream echoed as Adrian's flesh was torn apart and his aura gradually dimmed."Ahhh!"His agonized cries echoed once more. He could no longer withstand the pain.In the distance, a towering figure appeared and sneered. "What's this? Can't take it anymore? Pathetic. Humans are truly the epitome of stupidity."Suddenly, Adrian erupted with an explosive surge of energy, and in that instant, he broke through to the pinnacle of the Void Stage."Hmm? He actually b

    At that moment, the crowd was speechless.Adrian had ascended as if it were the easiest thing in the world.Faced with such a sight, no one could say much beyond admiration. Even if the Holy Son claimed Adrian had cheated, many secretly wished they could cheat the same way.Lacking Adrian's means, all they could do was envy him.Finnian chuckled. "Haha! You really caught us all by surprise, kid. Still, I'll count this as you repaying me a favor."For Finnian, the outcome couldn't have been better. With a broad smile, he seemed to have achieved his desired result. Adrian's successful climb was all that mattered to him.Once Adrian had vanished, the focus shifted to the rest of the group and their trials.When Adrian opened his eyes again, his entire body ached, but an oddly comforting sensation flowed through him. Surveying his surroundings, he realized he was now in a pond."Where am I?" he asked.Though uncertain about the place, Adrian knew he had cleared the trial and arriv

    The onlookers stared in bewilderment, their faces etched with confusion as they struggled to grasp the unfolding events.Meanwhile, Adrian seethed with barely contained rage. This wasn't his first encounter with such torment. Every few steps he ascended, another trial awaited.To Adrian, the relentless punishments felt suffocating. Yet he pressed on—this was the final stretch of the climb. "Adrian, hang in there!" Andy shouted, urging him to conquer the last step. To Andy, reaching that final step symbolized Adrian's growth. He had witnessed Adrian's remarkable resilience countless times and held unwavering faith in his potential. In Andy's eyes, Adrian was destined for greatness. Adrian's expression turned cold as he locked his gaze on the steps ahead. Determination flickered in his eyes. "If reaching the top guarantees a reward, it doesn't have to be me up there. As long as someone makes it, that's enough." With that, he shifted his focus to the void above and formed

    Adrian felt as if every nerve in his body was beyond his control. A deep sense of grievance filled his heart as the divine thunder from the void relentlessly crashed down.Rage surged within him, but under the onslaught of endless forces, he felt weak and constrained.Still, he had no choice but to press forward. He knew victory was within reach if he could endure a little longer—giving up now would mean death.If he fell, the shame and humiliation would crush him.Below, the Holy Son and others waited, eager to see him fail and mock him. This left Adrian no option but to push forward, striving toward the void above and his ultimate goal.The violent forces continued to bombard him from the sky.With every step, the thunder's impact intensified tenfold. His soul, already battered from a fierce battle with a horde of beasts, now felt as though it was dragging his exhausted body forward.Anyone else would likely have succumbed to despair. After all, under such immense pressure, ev

    The oppressive forces descending from the void seemed determined to halt Adrian’s ascent up the staircase.Yet he refused to yield. To him, these overwhelming challenges were merely obstacles to conquer.He pressed forward with relentless determination.Thunderbolts continued to rain down, but the ominous red light from before did not return—a relief, as he never wished to endure its crushing weight again.The memory of that light still haunted him, leaving a lingering sense of helplessness. Its suffocating pressure had drained his strength, reducing him to a gasping, powerless state.Despite the toll on his body and mind, Adrian remained singularly focused on reaching the final step. His burning desire for greater power drove him forward, unwavering and resolute.Step by step, he ascended, reaching the 95th step in what felt like an instant.Only five steps remained. His gaze locked onto the summit, and a wild glint lit his eyes. A daring idea sparked within him, consuming his

    Adrian pondered his situation, his cold gaze reflecting simmering frustration. Yet deep down, he recognized that whoever had designed the staircase was far from ordinary.Creating such a formidable trial required unimaginable power.Even a pinnacle Void Stage expert—or perhaps someone of the Multiply Stage—might bow in reverence before the ladder's creator."He won't last much longer. The divine lightning in this void is utterly destructive. In moments, he'll be reduced to ashes," sneered the Holy Son, his sharp eyes gleaming with malice.To the Holy Son, Adrian's demise was inevitable. Adrian had dared to offend him, and he was certain such audacity could only lead to death.Adrian caught the Holy Son's words and cast him a frosty glare. His intent to kill was unmistakable, though now wasn't the time.The staircase was no place for personal vendettas—eliminating him here would require careful planning.He also knew the Holy Son carried seals of immense power. A reckless move co

    Finnian's sharp gaze reflected a hint of admiration. "Kid, you owe me a big favor this time. You'd better treasure this opportunity."Adrian remained silent, unsure how to respond. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, though he fully grasped the challenges ahead.Fear was a luxury he couldn't afford—he'd come too far to back down now.Suddenly, a streak of red light surged from the void, hurtling toward Adrian with terrifying speed. His eyes widened in shock as the crimson beam struck him, slamming him against the staircase.Caught off guard, Adrian collapsed, sprawled helplessly on the steps.The crowd below watched in astonishment. No one had expected his seemingly indestructible body to be overwhelmed so easily.The Holy Son sneered. "Haha! It seems he's triggered some kind of taboo. Let's see how arrogant he is now!"His voice dripped with schadenfreude, his eyes gleaming with malicious satisfaction as he relished Adrian's struggle.Despite the crushing force, Adrian refused

    "What exactly is up there pulling me so strongly?" Adrian's expression hardened as he pondered the mysterious force drawing him upward.A surge of violent energy erupted across the sky, crashing down like a raging storm.Adrian advanced cautiously, each step deliberate and precise.Gone were the reckless strides of before—now he moved with steely determination, fully aware of the lurking dangers.He'd learned that the void's formidable forces seemed to target him directly, compelling him to proceed step by step. Any attempt to bypass its unseen barriers would provoke a devastating strike."Ridiculous," Adrian muttered. "If I've chosen to climb, nothing will stop me."The void's relentless power intensified.Bolts of thunder hammered down mercilessly, battering Adrian's body. Yet fear never crossed his mind.What was there to be afraid of?To him, the divine thunder wasn't an obstacle—it was a crucible, a tool to temper his body and strengthen his resolve.Despite the storm, A
