Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation (Volume 6)

Vol 6/ Chapter 5: Chance to Turn Things Around

The servant girl must have been talking about Adrian the King. So he was the one who saved me?

When Nicola first noticed something was wrong, she had already tried to reverse time to heal herself. But she didn't have much wind elements left in her body, and her wings were completely destroyed, making it impossible to absorb from her surroundings.

So now all she could do was lie helplessly in bed. She should already be grateful that she didn't die from her severe injuries.

But Nicola still couldn't figure out what those exploding light particles were. As someone who came from Earth, she thought they were similar to missiles, but their flight paths were different. Each one had power close to a small 'Beta Shock Bomb'!

She could only guess that it must be some defense system that Adrian created to protect the floating city.

Thinking carefully, Nicola realized she never really knew much about Lantine Oasis. Galadra only told her this city was left behind by an ancient civilization and might help fight against the Ancient God Religion. That's why she wasn't prepared for how difficult it would be to deal with.

Of course, this information wasn't really a big secret to me anymore. But for Nicola, who had never lost a battle before, this was her first major defeat and the reason she ended up in such a humiliating situation.

Just imagine - she had never fallen so low since birth. If she hadn't been rescued in time, she would have been in an even more miserable state when she woke up.

Addiontionally, she had watched too many wild videos before, and Eldoria Continent itself had many extremely dark and questionable aspects. Thinking that she might be humiliated by this world's Adrian in various ways, Nicola, who always had a strong prejudice against him, couldn't help but shed tears of regret for the first time.

"I heard you're awake? I'm really sorry for hurting you like this. How are you feeling now?"

A familiar holographic image appeared in the middle of the room - it was Adrian. Although he was speaking words of concern and apology, Nicola couldn't see any real "sorry" in his appearance.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Adrian sighed and didn't wait for a response. Instead, he formally announced his position:

"Anyway, we in Parristol don't want to be enemies with any member of the angel race, and we don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. So I not only saved you, but I also promise to let you rest here safely. During this time, I will send messengers to look for your people to take you back. Please rest well for now!"

After all, Nicola's intention to force her way into New Parristol was very obvious, so Adrian's decision to take care of her despite this was quite generous.

However, he also gave her a warning at the end, telling her not to cause trouble in the city again. If there was any disturbance, the Divine Punishment would completely eliminate those threats immediately.

After saying everything, the holographic image disappeared from the room without leaving any trace.

"So tell me what exactly is this Divine Punishment thing!"

At this point, Nicola was still very unwilling to accept the situation, but she couldn't even move now, let alone cause more trouble!

As they say, when under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She could only follow the advice and behave for now.

However, as an angel, she still had some light element magic left. She was forced to try using "Healing" magic, which she used to look down upon, to slowly heal her body.
