12 Kowloong Metropolis

After a seemingly endless wait, the Nighter was finally coming ashore.

The crew weren't welcomed, but rejected instead.

The real Huaxu must not fall into the hands of Ascendants. Babylonia forces started gathering.

In the arctic land, the fisher was urging the sailor to hurry. Forest Guards were chasing after the Corrupted.

Everybody had their own plan. Except Babylonia.

The joint operation between Cerberus and Strike Hawk didn't seem to be going well.

The actions taken by different parties only further accelerated the war.

It was complete mayhem in Kowloong City. They seemed to have underestimated the Ascendants.

War was imminent. Gray Raven made a promise.

Never underestimate the Support Force! —Bridget

The two Lucias met again in Kowloong City.

Seriously wounded, Lucia was removed from the frontline for recovery, while Gray Raven received an unexpected reinforcement.

Two leaders were having a conversation in a station.

As an Ascendant, Lamia specialized in manipulating her enemies.

Qu decided to take one step further for the Corporation.

In order to rescue fellow comrades, Strike Hawk was forced to confront Lamia.

Strike Hawk's effort wasn't wasted. Kowloong guards decided to join forces against Lamia.

Lucia was already on her way, so Strike Hawk decided to first create a path.

A golden powder was seen on the battlefield between Cerberus and Roland.

The train was getting close to Kowloong—

Far away from the battle, Lucia woke up—

Gray Raven managed to get through the light wall, only to be greeted by Kowloong's defense force.

There were also different opinions within the light wall. What would happen...?

Gray Raven met Qu in the tower and discovered Kowloong's real intention.

On the Observatory Plume shone bright.

It was over... For now.
