A detachment from Prisma City arrived—a small force of about fifteen warriors. Dasatama brought only a select few, prioritizing swift movement through a spatial teleportation portal.Dasatama bounded forward the moment they materialised outside the main gates of the Golden Crane Academy. Accompanied by Commander Yarko, the two masters vaulted across the rooftop tiles, moving with extreme speed. The warriors handpicked by Dasatama trailed closely behind them.Dasatama knew his younger brother, Jiro, was likely engaged in a desperate clash. Traversing the vast distance from Prisma City to Linggar Emas would normally take at least a day on foot. Recognizing the urgency, Dasatama had signaled Mayor Adante to initiate immediate spatial teleportation.Maintaining the portal required immense energy, limiting the number of combatants that could pass through at once; thus, Dasatama took only fifteen elite fighters. Reaching the rooftops, Dasatama looked down to find a raging inferno of warfare

Aji bounded down from the top of the wall, his custom wooden staff strapped securely across his back. The weapon he had commissioned was a polished, gleaming long staff—unassuming to the untrained eye.He greeted his comrades, all of whom had fought valiantly to repel the dark army's assault. Shortly after, senior advisors representing all continents arrived on the scene, bestowing high praise upon the Sky Squad. Though the confrontation had broken out as an unexpected crisis while their weapons were being forged, the young warriors had managed to force a decisive retreat upon the dark forces.Furthermore, the operation had definitively exposed the Golden Crane Academy as a major covert ally of the Demon Lord. In the wake of the battle, city officials in Linggar Emas—including the municipal leadership—were placed under immediate investigation to determine the extent of their complicity in the conspiracy.Warrior Jiro brought Nasura forward under heavy guard, while Chief Blacksmith Rak

An emergency council of the Sky Squad convened. All twenty-one officially inducted members were gathered in the main briefing hall, with no outside personnel present.Through grueling conditioning sessions under Warrior Jiro and rotating shifts across every continent, they had forged themselves into an elite force. Over the weekend, the entire squad reassembled at headquarters for a critical strategy meeting, presided over by Barsha in her capacity as Sky Squad Leader.The members sat around a large oak table in the central war room of their headquarters."We need to execute a comprehensive verification of the Mondu intelligence extracted from Nasura," Barsha opened, her voice firm and authoritative.Everyone present knew of the master ledger, though the specific details had been kept classified. Only the Sky Squad held access to the transcribed data—a list recorded by Gayatri detailing the individuals who had commissioned mass-produced armaments through Nasura, along with their speci

Nora held steadfast in his belief that Advisor Alex could never be a Mondu. It was Alex, after all, who had taken him in as a impoverished child and sponsored his enrollment at the finest martial arts academy in Elenoir, altering the trajectory of his life forever.Back then, young Nora had sworn a silent vow never to present himself before Advisor Alex until he had grown into a recognized warrior in his own right. Though they had briefly crossed paths during the formal inauguration of the Sky Squad, Nora had yet to introduce himself as the young boy Alex had once saved.Prior to their arrival, Aji and Barsha had reviewed Advisor Alex's background. On paper, his record was impeccable—he had spent decades at the absolute forefront of the fight against evil. Before stepping into an advisory role, he had served as an elite operative for the Martial Arts Association, taking on perilous missions across every continent to eradicate lawlessness and dark factions.His duties had taken him to

"I will always stand ready by your side to fight the dark forces, Lord Advisor," Nora declared. "It has been my solemn vow since childhood, and I have trained every single day to uphold it."Securing a spot in the elite ranks of the Sky Squad was no simple feat. Nora had pushed himself through relentless conditioning to master his massive broadsword, anchored by the promise he made back when Alex actively spearheaded the campaign against evil.Though years had passed, Alex secretly carried a heavy, silent sorrow regarding the path ahead—a burden he bore entirely alone."Well done, Nora. Carry that passion forward," Alex replied, a warm smile touching his lips as he nodded approvingly at the young warrior. "The world desperately needs warriors like you to stop the dark army from plunging everything into chaos."Nora offered a confident grin. "No matter what comes, I will honor my vow, Lord Advisor. I will stand against the forces of darkness through any trial!""Remember one thing, Nor
