601 Round 2 Begin

"That crown is what will send us to the next round, so I cannot let you leave with that," Issi said.

Ning wanted to stop him from blocking her because he understood her problem a little, but Issi was right. If they let Nova leave right now, then there was a chance they wouldn't pass at all.

Ning didn't worry about dying, but rather about what would happen if he were to be killed. There was a reason the system had cautioned him after all.

"The-Then I won't go far away," Nova said. "But I do need to be away from here so that I don't ruin everything."

Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do your powers work while you're asleep?"

Nova nodded. 

"What exactly will they do?" Ning asked curiously.

"Only bad things," she said without missing a beat. "It always leads to people dying around me regardless of my wish."

"Seriously?" Issi asked as he took an unconscious step back.
