Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation (Volume 6)

Vol 6/ Chapter 6: The City Under Attack

From my point of view, Nicola was too obsessed with getting revenge at that time.

But thinking again, given how arrogant she had been since coming to this world, it would be weird if she didn't try to get back after such a big loss.

She even prepared for a long time. Since direct attack didn't work, she decided to break through from the inside!

Like pretending her body was healing very slowly, making Adrian think she was still badly injured and had to stay in bed. This made him let his guard down.

Actually, by this time Nicola's leg was almost healed and she could walk normally. After all, having awakened the Wind Angel Authority meant she could absorb wind elements directly from the environment to slowly restore her magic power, even without wings. But sadly, the recovery speed was still much slower compared to when she had wings.

So the time wasn't right yet. She just needed to rest and wait one more day, using her time reversal power to fully restore her wings. Then she would definitely succeed in killing him!

But heaven didn't seem to give her this chance...

That night, while Nicola was lying in bed trying hard to gather spirit power to recover her magic, she suddenly felt the whole bed start shaking violently.

The shaking only lasted a few seconds, but the continuous bright flashes outside showed this wasn't just some accident. Seems like explosions were happening all over the floating city. Luckily they were blocked by a very strong barrier, and warning sirens started echoing across the whole city.

This meant New Parristol was probably under attack!

At first Nicola didn't care much, thinking it wasn't her business. But the huge commotion outside finally made her unable to ignore it anymore. She had to shout loudly to ask the guards outside what was happening.

But there was no response...

"Don't tell me the fighting is so bad they had to send everyone to defend?"

Even though enemy's enemy should be friend, Nicola wasn't happy at all.

Even if Adrian got defeated or killed, if it wasn't by her own hands for revenge, she wouldn't feel satisfied at all.

"Damn it, which idiot dares to steal my prey..."

Looking at the situation, probably no one would come to her room for a while. She had to find a way to go out and check! Nicola couldn't help but curse as she got up from bed. No need to pretend to be weak anymore. She pressed what looked like a light switch on the table beside her.

But the room lights didn't respond at all.

From her daily observation, pressing this button would usually make the whole room's walls light up. But now nothing happened, showing the city's power system was probably down too.

"This means..."

Thinking of this, Nicola quickly opened the door and went to the corridor outside. The multiple security barriers set up to keep her trapped in the room had disappeared, just as she expected!

This meant she was now free to go anywhere in Lantine Oasis! Of course, since her wings hadn't recovered, she still couldn't fly.

But Nicola wasn't happy about this. The explosions outside were getting more and more frequent. She had a bad feeling and quickly went to the window to look outside carefully. Finally she figured out her room was located in the upper floors of the Chromos Tower in central Lantine Oasis.
