Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol5/ Chapter 2: Crescent City

"Congrats! I really didn't expect your relationship to move so fast!" Alfreed said with surprise when he saw me and Adrian together.

Our friends, including Eleanora and Mike, came to say goodbye before we left. Even though we had to fight each other before, now everyone put down their weapons and made up.

During the battle at the tower top, my blue wing transformation caught all the enemies' attention. This allowed Adrian to secretly help them without attracting the attention of Fernando and Mirium. Without that help, the three of them wouldn't have been able to rescue Cyra later.

Actually, the city's shield disappeared suddenly for everyone to attack because Adrian messed with it on purpose. So nobody wanted Douglas to really take him back to the capital.

"Amazing! You really made us common folk proud. Keep it up in future!" Brennan slapped Adrian's shoulder hard and gave a thumbs up. But what did he mean by "keep it up"? I frowned a bit hearing this.

"Don't forget Adrian is actually from the royal family too. Even though the Loren royal family has fallen on hard times now, it still makes sense for him to marry a high-ranking angel. Ah, why didn't I think of this before..." Yulanda couldn't help laughing and correcting Brennan's mistakes. But hearing this made me feel a bit sad. If not for me, maybe the Loren royal family could have been restored.

After everything that happened, this young couple still planned to return to the capital Norvale as originally planned. Alfreed and the others would stay behind for a while. The main reason was related to the huge pile of ruins in front of us. The king cared a lot about what was left after the sky city collapsed, so he sent many royal magicians and other people to come check it out. They would probably arrive soon.

So we had to leave right away! The newcomers wouldn't be as easy to deal with as Douglas. If they saw Adrian, there might be trouble again. So he would naturally come with me to Crescent City.

"May you take care, Your Holiness Saint Angel. We look forward to your return to the holy city!" Eminem bowed deeply to Cyra, which made her unhappy as expected.

"I told you I'm not Saint Angel. You've got it wrong!"

The portal behind us had been open for a while already. The Sage Council opened it specially for us. After Cyra finished speaking, she went in without looking back. Adrian and I quickly followed her.

At the end of the portal was a whole new world...

The first thing we saw was an extremely grand and tall wizard tower!

"This feels so familiar!" Adrian couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the tower, even though it was his first time in Crescent City.

It looked just like a copy of the Chromos Tower! Although it wasn't as ridiculously tall as the real thing, it was already as impressive as the part of the tower that was above ground before the city took off.

No wonder people said the Sage Council came from Parristol. There were many towers like this all over the city! You could see them everywhere, densely packed...

I couldn't help spreading my wings and flying up a bit to count them. They were scattered all over Crescent City without any pattern, with one about every kilometer or two.

"A total of 48?!"

It was too much, I almost got dizzy counting them. The others also got different but similar results at the same time. No matter how you looked at it, Crescent City was much bigger than any other city we'd been to before!

"It's 50 towers. There are probably two more that we can't see because they're too far away," Meredith said with a smile, correcting us. Next to her stood an old man with a white beard. He was the earth mage who had opened the portal for us earlier.
