The dragon girl no longer spoke much but took steps forward. In the eyes of the onlookers, there was first shock, then outrage, followed by terror. Because their boss's body, like a ball, was punched into the air by the dragon girl and heavily smashed against the wall of his carefully constructed courtyard. Lying on the ground, unable to move amidst painful groans, it looked as though several of his ribs were broken.
Everyone at the scene was stunned. No one had expected the Dragon girl to be so violent. As they ca to their senses, the guards hurriedly surrounded the Dragon girl, attempting to stop Nova and even attack her.
Just as the situation was about to escalate, a sound of rapid footsteps ca from outside. A young girl in a nun's outfit arrived at the scene, panting.
"Sister Nova, leave this to ."
"Alright, Sister Suthia"
Seeing Suthia's pleading gaze, Nova eventually relented and left with her people. However, Nova emphasized that after Suthia had healed Liam, she still intended to capture him.
"Uncle Liam, are you alright?" After Nova left, Suthia quickly helped up Liam, who was lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
The guards around them clearly treated Suthia differently from Nova, confidently leaving their official Liam in the care of the young nun.
Liam felt the sa way.
"Suthia, hurry, heal . That damned, stinky Dragon girl! She actually laid her hands on ! Once I'm better, I'll make her pay!"
Seeing Suthia arrive, Liam was completely relieved, knowing that this nun was an angel with the power to heal any injury.
Therefore, in the eyes of Officer Liam now, there was only the fierceness of revenge. Today, his dignity was utterly trampled by Nova in public, and he couldn't stand it.
"Alright, Uncle Liam, calm down and drink this dicine."
The young nun helplessly looked at this elder, blowing on the steaming dicine bowl while feeding it to the half-crippled Liam on the bed.
After gulping down the dicine, Liam wiped his mouth and couldn't help but sigh, "Suthia, it's good to have you. It wasn't in vain that I painstakingly persuaded Lord Ashen to take you in."
"Eh? Uncle Liam, it was you who convinced Lord Ashen to take in?"
"Hmph, of course. You know very well the temperant of our Lord Ashen. Without , he wouldn't have even glanced at you."
"Heh~ Is that so? Then I must thank you, Uncle Liam~" After hearing what Officer Liam had to say, Suthia gave him a sincere look of gratitude.
Before Liam could say anything else, the young nun's voice rang out again.
"Since Uncle Liam said that, Suthia doesn't feel guilty anymore. Thank you so much~"
"Guilty... feeling? What guilt cough cough cough cough!"
"What the f@uck did you…"
Zero's mory fragnts end here. After watching them, Nova in Renji's arms now looks like a little girl who has made a mistake, giving Renji a very apologetic look.
Because, if Nova rembers correctly, the news of Liam's death without recovery ca the next day, causing an uproar throughout the Ashen base. Suthia stepped forward to apologize continuously.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ashen, I was too inconsiderate before. Not only did I cause you to lose a core mber, but I also involved Suthia, dragging her into this."
"But I shouldn't have struck him so hard, and with Suthia's healing, how could it..."
Nova expresses her apologies while also being sowhat puzzled and perplexed.
If Renji had not seen the fragnts of Suthia's past before, he might have been surprised, but now,
"It's okay Nova. Liam's death probably has little to do with you."
"Eh?"
"Don't mind it. What you did was right, and that's also why I appointed you in the first place."
Renji laughed it off, now understanding how Nova's "operational capability" as a foundational ability was actually manifested.
As the next fragnt of Nova's past unfolds, the Ashen base begins a major cleanup.
Starting with Liam's death, those high-ranking officials who had been relying on their status as elders, content with enjoynt, and even corrupt and embezzling, began to feel endangered.
They realized that Nova was truly incorruptible. This Dragoness had a straightforward personality; anyone she set her sights on, no excuse would work, and resisting arrest could even result in violent enforcent.
And anyone injured by Nova couldn't be' healed by Suthia', almost all of them were either announced dead the next day or beca permanent vegetatives, no different from being dead.
Moreover, although Zero did not directly intervene, Nova's ability to precisely target those corrupt individuals inside relied on Zero's data. Within the entire Ashen base, no one could escape Zero's watch. Zero was the best pair of eyes hanging over the heads of all high-ranking officials, with Nova being the claw.
As for Suthia….
Renji, seeing these fragnts, including the nun's "Uncle, it's ti for your dicine" scenes, realized that his understanding of Suthia in the ga was fundantally mistaken!!
Soon after, in the high ranks of the Ashen base, no one dared to talk about using the base's resources for personal use anymore, let alone enjoying life. Everyone went back to basics, competing to live even more miserably, almost wishing to drink heavily polluted water and surrender purified resources for fighting the Tainted Miasma and maintaining equipnt.
In the ga, this is reflected by a decrease in the resource depletion rate of the base, while the action speed of various commands issued by oneself becos faster.
The change in the upper echelons is one aspect, and for soldiers unwilling to fight anymore, Nova also played a significant role.
Although Nova was previously of Disaster Rank, as a "BOSS" attribute, once contracted by him and becoming a player character, her attributes would undergo a significant adjustnt. This is a common setting in many gas; you can capture a BOSS, but the captured BOSS is definitely a nerfed version of its forr self.
In "Fallen Chronicles" it's not so much a nerf but rather a temporary regression in strength. Now, from the past fragnts, Renji sees that it's like Nova's power has been purified by him, causing a temporary adaptation issue and thus a decrease in strength.
Therefore, later on, as Ashen's, Renji starts making ga decisions, crazily taking Nova to solo dungeons, aiming to maximize Nova's solo experience gain to level up as quickly as possible.
Perhaps it's because too many saves were loaded (SL) when capturing Nova, awakening Renji's own "soul of SL," so later, when taking Nova to solo various levels, despite the low probabilities, they relied on loading saves to get through.
Corresponding to Nova's past mories in reality, it's like being ruthlessly thrown into one desperate situation after another by Ashen, such as caves crawling with Tainted Miasma insects, dens of mutated plants under pollution, and fighting hundreds of Tainted Corpse mutations in one-way tunnels.
This not only honed Nova, but such terrifying training thods also greatly shocked the Ashen soldiers, making them realize that their leader is not joking. They really need to continue accumulating strength and expanding their influence. Their ultimate enemy might indeed be the Tainted Miasma.
Similarly, the Ashen soldiers grew to admire and respect Nova even more, even to the point of viewing this Dragon girl as a monstrous figure.
After all, Lord Ashen's training is terrifying, and Nova, who could survive such training unscathed and even beco more vigorous with each battle, is even more terrifying.
Nova's prestige within the Ashen base quickly soared, leading to a strong wave of preparations for war.
In just under three months, the Ashen base began to dispatch troops again. With the powerful Vanguard Nova, they successfully reclaid areas contaminated by the Tainted Miasma from monsters, establishing new branch gathering places and bases.
From here on, in the ga, the territory "belonging to Ashen" began to rapidly expand in the true sense, and for the survivors in the old world,
It marked the dawn of a new era.
.....
"Have you heard? The Ashen Army has conquered four more contaminated areas, one of which was ho to a ''Viper'-level Tainted Miasma Master!"
"I know, I know! Our scavenging team just happened to pass by that area, and I saw with my own eyes that Ms. Nova from the Ashen Army split that ''Viper'-level Tainted Miasma Master in half with a single strike!"
"A single strike? Stop joking, that Dragon Woman was originally a slave gladiator at the Old Base. A few years ago, I even went to watch a few of her matches. She is indeed strong, but not as exaggerated as you say!"
"No, no, no, you're forgetting about 'Lord Ashen'. With the Dragon Woman's potential, coupled with that lord's guidance, it really is possible!"
"Speaking of that lord, I had a brother who was not even half as strong as in terms of Eclipse ability. He went to the Ashen Base, and when he ca back to see yesterday, the guy had actually reached the upper stages of the Danger Rank!"
"My God, really? That makes want to go to the Ashen Base too. If Lord Ashen notices , could I also reach the Danger Rank or even the Disaster Rank?"
