The Ultimate Support Character

333 Mortal Worlds' Status

A luxurious manor that can't be penetrated by my Transcendent Senses. Whatever secret lies inside it, I don't think it will be shocking enough for the Transcendents who entered this place.

Besides, the real purpose of this space is to be a battleground for the two Transcendent Worlds. I'm still unaware of how the other side can start building their bridge. Will they build it on the surface?

If that's the case, they will be hindered easily once they reach the defensive line of the Dark World. However, who am I to assume that it will be like that? I've never been in the frontlines and there's no way to know how the Dimensional Bridge will be built.

At the moment, there's no point thinking about trivial things that will not benefit me.

"How will we go about this?" Udann asked me but he's not really asking my opinion. He's already edging towards the giant statue at the left, trying to get its aggro without waking up the other two giant statues.

Although I warned him about possible new types, none appeared. Either it's inside the manor or there's truly none at all.

Counting the heads of the destroyed statues behind us, it's safe to say that even if they completely outnumbered the two of us, these soldier statues were barely a threat anymore. In less than two hours, we wiped the statues lined up at the manor yard except for the three giant statues.

Although I'm still confident to support Udann if he fought the three, it would force me to show me my true capabilities. By utilizing the Blast Stone by throwing it in front of the three giant statues, I had the three retreat away from the soldier statues which led us to fight them without worrying about their interference.

Compared to a live Rank 1 Transcendent who could use different skills, the soldier statues could only charge and make use of their weapons to attack us. Once one destroys and fights them for a certain amount of time, anyone will see the pattern in their movements and take advantage of it. Furthermore, we have the four Stones which we used to our advantage.

"You don't need my input, do you? Just do what you think is best. I'll be supporting you from behind." I answered.

"I understand."

After that, no more words were exchanged between us, he just jumped forward to pull one of the giant statues away. Taking down three giant statues one by one, we spent at least 20 minutes on each statue.

It would be faster if I helped him with my full capabilities. However, I still limited myself to only do what I deemed acceptable. Apart from my occasional support and the occasional turning off of the Domain of Valor, I didn't do anything. Udann became riddled with injuries thanks to that after more than three hours of taking the front, compared to me who's naturally unscathed apart from a few damage on the clothes I'm wearing.

Of course, as soon as the battle ended, I treated him using the Aether Elemental Spell: Cure. There's also the medicinal pill that Alwyn gave me that night, putting him back to his original state except for the mental exhaustion that was built up from our nonstop fighting ever since entering this castle town ruins.

Before entering the Manor, I had our rest first while I picked up the scattered baseball-sized stones. Udann used this time to make use of one of the basketball-sized stones dropped from one of the giants. Since we agreed for the 50:50 share, adding the one we got yesterday, each of us now has 2 of those stones.

As usual, since I got all three last hits on the giant statues, I stored the big stones and only used the baseball-sized ones to mask the downpour of Energy I'm absorbing from the gathered energy on top of my head.

Apart from absorbing and resting, the free time I gave us was also used to try reworking my strongest Elemental Spells to upgrade it to 7-nodes. It's still impossible to make them 9-nodes after all. I can only tamper with them once the Proficiency reached the Master level. Creating a brand new 9-nodes Elemental Spell from scratch was also harder than I thought.

It's only thanks to my Energy Control that I could easily create and rework my previous Spells. Fleur's Transcendent Spell is created by her in a step by step manner from 1-node to 13-nodes ever since she became a Transcendent. She only perfected it before I arrived at the World of Elements.

Except for me who has the cheat of overwhelming Energy Control or Energy Manipulation, for the denizens of that world and Heroes like Boris and Hikari, the easiest way to learn an Elemental Spell is to use the recorded Spells that were already created and tested before. Those Elemental Spells recorded in the library, especially the higher nodes one, took the original creator years of trial and error to perfect it. That's also why most of them chose to record and publish it. To leave those Elemental Spells behind as their legacy for the younger generation to use.

For now, I'm only focusing on reworking the Cure Spell. The 6-nodes version of Flash Step and Air Bullet will come next. But I've only started, I estimated for it to take at least a few days to produce a 7-nodes version of the Cure Spell. If it was any other World of Elements denizen, it would take him months or years to accomplish what I'm doing.

The day was about to end again when Udann and I finished resting. The progress of my Pathway has reached 40% but it also used up most of the energy I gathered from stealing Udann's kills. Either way, I still have 5 days. Perhaps reaching the 5th Stage of the 4th Realm of my Mortal Pathway is already a certainty but I still reserved some inhibitions.

During our resting period, I connected to my Avatar's consciousness to check up on the status of the World of Elements. Once I controlled it, the memory it accumulated was also passed onto me. Through that, I already got the gist of what's happening in that world. Besides, seeing my four Companions together already relieved most of my worries. Spending time with them using my Avatar, eases up some of my longing for them.

Among the four, Yumiko complained to me and kept on asking when I will be back. I promised to spend time with her after the task of closing the Zones after all, but I jumped into the Portal leaving them behind… Jayna is still a bit satisfied from our time alone so she's giggling at how Yumiko acted. Fleur and Sofiel were already both mature in mental age so they didn't openly express what's on their minds. However, upon consulting the Avatar's memory, Sofiel often grumbled to me through the Avatar when she's alone with it and Fleur, although she's a bit reserved, also started talking to it or rather through it about the things she wanted to tell me. The two probably guessed that the Avatar's memory will be merged with mine.

Once I'm done with it, I took the time to contact the other girls away from Udann's mind. Yuko, Zerina, Erin and Avelin are still diligently trying to clear up the World of Barbarian. Just like the World of Elements, a Rank 2 Transcendent descended there and it's another descendant of a Great One. Apparently, it's a descendant of Onimbus. And that led for the status of that world to be locked in a stalemate.

Yuko can't risk using her Ultimate Skill when her Foresight tells her that the result is unclear if she ever fights that descendant with her full power. Also, Raiden successfully unified the Desolate Plains but the Barbarians from the North started a civil war when a new bunch of Corrupted sprang up, the one at the East is already occupied by the Dark World denizens and Corrupteds.

In hindsight, the situation there is about to get worse since the Portal hasn't been located yet and more Transcendents kept on descending from the Dark World. Furthermore, I can see from the four girl's faces the mental exhaustion they're going through…

In the World of Meta, with the Advent of the Dark World Transcendents, the unified denizens with Primeval Aegis League at its helm were now also locked in a stalemate against them. There are battles here and there. The Healing Faction of the Anzeans was also providing more headaches. Although Nysia didn't say it, her pair of longing eyes was also wishing for me to go back there. Although my Incarnation is currently in that world, its strength is only enough to lead the Aegis Battalion to win a skirmish or two. The three Heroes also temporarily went back to Earth so they could not launch a better offensive to wipe out the Dark World fortresses they built on the ruins of other nations at the surface of the World of Meta.

Lunaria, Leianne and Elise also couldn't reach Transcendence yet despite their eagerness to do so. They're not like the Heroes and they're also not like me who has insane progress. Dannae was also training nonstop at the Scorched Forest but she's still a Gold Rank.

Upon recalling how they forced a smile to not make me worry, I finally decided what to do. I'm going to take the four of them as my Companions as long as they're not against it once I come back to that world. It might sound forced but I'm truly interested in them. Just that, it's not as strong as what I had with Fleur. Perhaps it's because I didn't have enough time to spend with them. Most of my attention was with my wife when I was still there after all.

In any case, seeing their current status rekindled my determination to make use of the last five days here and go back to the Mortal Worlds and end everything once and for all.

"Are you ready?" I asked Udann who had a refreshing appearance after he finished absorbing the whole basketball-sized stone.
