The Ultimate Support Character

After around 10 minutes of freely flying in the sky, the Aura of Concealment wore off, startling the wildlife at the area we passed through because of the sudden appearance of the colossal Metal Giant.

Instead of turning towards the direction of the Human Race territory, I steered to a random direction to lose whoever would think of following us by choosing that direction. It's not as wise, but if there's only the two Transcendents, even if they arrived at the Human Race territory, they wouldn't be able to break through it.

Also, the Elementals' Territory was further behind that it would need them to travel for a day to reach it. Even if they have a teleportation spell that would bring them near it, their forest is also being protected by a Defensive Formation. However, Fleur really needed to be there if ever they chose to attack it. Without her support that Defensive Formation will not hold too long against two Transcendents.

We're around 30 minutes away from the Noxian Capital in terms of a Transcendent's basic speed. That's why when I found a clearing and a river near it, I landed the All-black Metagen, Black Mist, next to it.

Fleur seemed to be wondering about something during our flight that she already stopped admiring the interior and the mechanics of the Metagen.

When we disembarked after landing, she finally opened her mouth to tell me about it.

"Daisuke, you can fight the two of them alone. Using that… staff. Your clones were as strong as a Transcendent."

I see. So that's it. She saw how strong the clones were. No wonder she would wonder about that.

I could really fight them. However, I was not confident at killing them within a short time, despite having the unusually large 'staff' in the form of the Totem to greatly enhance my skills and abilities.

Call it as me being too cautious, but yeah, only when I'm entirely sure that I could kill them would I risk it and go all out.

I'd rather pick on the Rank 5 Mortals to nip the threat in the bud and have the Heroes and the others benefiting from my buffs to kill those at the same level as us.

"Yes. But we were in their territory. We can't be sure that there's only those two considering they secluded themselves that even the World's Will now has no idea about their current state."

"I never thought of that possibility…"

Because you're not an overthinker like me…

"It's fine. This is just me overthinking things and being too cautious. What I think has the possibility to be wrong, so I'll be relying on you to correct me and clear my mind if that happens."

"I understand. I'm starting to think you are too perfect. I guess I'm wrong."

"I'm far from being perfect. I need people like you to be around me, to fully utilize what I can do."

Once my Companions began to travel with me, only then will we be somewhat perfect.

I have two Heroes; Yuko and Yumiko. Four Orb Holders or Main Characters of their World, Zerina, Avelin, Jayna and Nysia. And lastly, a talented Genius who can keep up to their cheats, Erin.

They all have unique abilities that can make up for the shortcomings of one another. Add to that all my support skills, they'll be more than invincible.

It's not just them who wanted to stay by my side. I also wanted to keep them close to me.

The call with Erin and Avelin last night, as well as the more than a day's worth of memories with Nysia, brought back by the Support Incarnation wasn't enough.

As soon as we find a chance, we'll start closing down portals to bring peace in these Mortal Worlds.

Yuko and Yumiko have started to cleanse their world of the Dark World denizens after they became a Transcendent to take advantage of being the sole Transcendent in their Otherworld but even after a week, the Dark World denizens have been proven to be sly foxes as they immediately covered most of their tracks to hide the main portal they were using.

That extremely frustrated the two Heroes as well as the other two with them, so I decided that after the cooldown of the Support Incarnation, I'll join one of them to hunt for the portal.

"Un. I kind of understand now why you call yourself a Support."

Fleur nodded. My words somehow managed to clear up what was in her mind.

As I see it. She's already considering what I told her, but yeah, that doesn't mean she's falling for me. She's trying to understand me at the same time as weighing the benefit that she will possibly get from me.

If it's like this, the chance of her becoming one of my companions is low.

I'm interested in her, but as of now, Fleur is only curious in me.

Well, that just means I need to appeal more to her. Who knows how long I will stay here? I'll use that time of always seeing her to make her mine.

My approach of putting the benefit I can provide in front of her is wrong. I have to make her fall for me wherein she will think of being with me first before the benefit. Just like how Nysia only wanted the perfect man for her. Even if I don't have any benefits for her, she will still become my wife.

After talking for a while at that place, we somewhat deepen our understanding of each other.

And since we're done, Fleur used her 10-nodes Water Teleportation Spell at the river to transport us back to the Human Race territory.

Like earlier, our hands interlocked. This time, it's not just a way to make sure we wouldn't be separated. It now had another meaning after I told her how I am interested in her.

I couldn't guess what she's thinking about it, but most likely, it's still normal for her unless my existence has already started to affect her thought process.

Well, it's fine for now. She doesn't have any experience in relationships after all. I'll have more chances later.

The result of this quick heist that I presented for them is more than perfect. Not only we got something their elites are using but also we managed to kill those elites. The undetected infiltration and the brief bout against Benedict and Marina will also add another consideration for them.

They're just raging now because of our unexpected appearance. When their rage calms down later, they will seriously consider their chances of victory against us. My existence this time became more than just a deterrence for them.

"You're back. It's not even two hours. What happened? Did you fail?"

Arland questioned. He looked anxious since he welcomed us with his actual body and not just the Light Projection from his tower.

When I said quick heist, he probably never thought that it would be over in less than two hours.

Before I could answer, Fleur stepped forward and with a victorious expression on her face, she enthusiastically narrated what happened during our quick heist to Arland.

Of course, except the things about the two of us, even the Taylor Family's rebellious thoughts were relayed to Arland. The man's reaction was incredulous as if what he heard was out of some fantasy. Nevertheless, that's exactly what happened – with a little flair added by Fleur.

The two have known each other way before that their interactions were more normal than how she acted with me. Well, it's more like an elder sister and her younger brother.

When she's done narrating, I took out the Artifact from the necklace. As soon as it entered Arland's eyes, he jumped in front of me and reached his hand to it. Though it's important for us, it's even more so for this guy.

It's something his late wife owned. More than a means to enhance the Formation, it's a memento of her that he wanted to preserve.

My Adaptability already told me the nature of that cube. It's truly a natural ore that has the inherent property of enhancing Energy Output. However, because of its size, it could only be used as a Core for a Formation or cut into pieces to be used on making staves or any type of weapon, depending on the user.

"Thank you, Daisuke. Also, I'm sorry for doubting you first."

"It's fine. I understand why. Even Fleur probably also doubted me at first."

"No, I didn't. I never doubted you. Upon seeing you, I know that you are someone trustworthy. And you proved it this time."

Fleur interjected, pouting at the words I just said. Though our interaction seemed unnatural, Arland didn't notice it as all his attention was on the cube.

"You have my utmost gratitude, Daisuke. I'll keep an eye out so you two can rest. Fleur, your room was prepared at the same place."

After saying that, he flew back to his Magus Tower, leaving the two of us. Well, he's not crazed, to say the least. The way he acted was understandable. Even the me who experienced that Transcendent Mind Trial would act the same.

It's already late in the night, so with a bit of an awkward air between the two of us, Fleur and I separated for the night without exchanging another word. There's no need to rush it.

The training for the elites will continue tomorrow as well as the meeting with the Luxians. The location of the 5th Orb is with them. About whoever's holding it, it's still a mystery, but the chance is high that it will be the one who sent that letter…

When I entered my room, I immediately used Interdimensional Communication. A few seconds later, Jayna's sleepy face that was somewhat covered by the reddish-green fringes of her hair appeared on the screen, she was wearing thin silk sleepwear which further accentuated her figure as well as that voluptuous front of hers.

Err… Calling her at this time of the night gave me eye candy.
