The Ultimate Support Character

"Lexie, I will be leaving the League to you. If something happened, don't hesitate to use that skill you got from that will let you contact Daisuke once a day. Also if that's not enough, his communication crystal is on you. Everything you tell him will be relayed to me."

"I understand." Lexie, as if a habit, saluted to Nysia before immediately putting it down.

After that event of adding her as my Companion, Leianne and the other three returned after tying up the loose ends.

Leianne left everything to her grandfather. Elise relegated Amry and another close subordinate of hers for the management of the Light's Cradle and Eldur. Lunaria bid her farewell to her mother. And Dannae settled the score with her father who immediately rushed to the tower to see her mother, Dianne.

At the moment, we're now standing before the Portal to the World of Elements. Yuko and the others already stepped inside and we're the last who had yet to go.

"And I will send my Support Incarnation to oversee your Transcendent Trials three days later," I added.

Upon hearing that, Lexie flinched and incredulously stared at me as if I said something she didn't expect.

"Huh? There's no need to. I will pass it!"

"Look at this girl easily forgetting what I said. You're now my Companion. I care for you just as much as I care for Nysia and the others. If it's only up to me, I will not leave you here."

After I finished saying that, I pulled out more baseball-sized Energy Stones for her use, piling them in front of her.

"You're too illogical, Daisuke." She looked down at the pile of Energy Stones with a complicated expression on her face.

"We know he is. But his care for us is genuine. You'll understand that soon."

Before I could even answer, Nysia did it for me.

There's really no need for farewells now. We'll be able to see each other if we wanted to anyway.

After a few more reminders, Nysia and I stepped inside the Portal, leaving Lexie who saluted once more. The League was now in her hands.

Hopefully, the World of Meta continue to prosper now that the outside threats are gone.

But of course, that's just my wishful thinking. Despite being ruled by strength, there would always be rebellious spirits who would bide their time before coming out to disturb the peace of the world. That's how it always is. Nonetheless, it's not like the League or the United Alliance would just sleep their way now that the biggest threat for the world disappeared.

[You entered the World of Elements]

[Received +3 Endurance as World Bonus]

[Will expire upon leaving the world]

Familiar notification welcomed me as soon as my vision returned to normal. Yuko and the other girls were already waiting for a few minutes, hovering atop a decimated mountain and a huge crater.

Upon checking our surroundings, I recognized this place, the former territory of the Luxians.

Being new to this world, all of them were busy taking in the new scenery in their eyes. Among them, those who decided to assimilate the Elemental Energy numbered four. Reinys, Noelle, Leianne and Elise.

Well, I advised them to do that later as we had a set plan to do. That way, we wouldn't stay for a few days here and move onto the next world.

After telling them the trivia about the place we appeared at, I became their guide as we set off to our destination. Thankfully, we wouldn't need to fly for long or call for Fleur to teleport us. Luxian and Noxian Territory were like neighbors of each other. They apparently also had the most conflict before Sofiel scooped Aves and two smaller masses of land up to enter seclusion.

Along the way, the World's Will's voice rang inside my mind, welcoming me back.

It's not like we stopped communicating with each other. Through the Avatar who she often pulled up in that space of hers, she continued learning from me. In the end, I also managed to give her the name I thought up to her delight.

With my horrible naming sense, I came up with a name close to what she is. From World's Will of the World of Elements, I removed everything and only left two syllables behind. Ele.

Although we stopped closing the Dark World Zones after the Portal was closed, her incarnation continued to assault more Zones. Thanks to her sole efforts, the black patch of land that was expanding at the north of the continent was now reduced to one-fourth of its original size.

Moreover, because of the threat imposed by Sofiel and Fleur, the remaining Dark World Transcendents already abandoned those Zones, leaving those behind to the Mortal Ranks stationed there.

After telling me an update about the Dark World Zones, our conversation ended.

Through those Zones she managed to close, Ele's becoming more and more human-like. It's not wrong to say that among all the World's Will I got the chance to interact with, she's the closest one to evolve.

After a few minutes of flying in the direction of the Noxian Capital, I established a connection to my Avatar to check the status of their plan as well as merge with the memory it accumulated.

It was only six hours ago when Sofiel and Yumiko presented it. Even if they're fast, that descendant and the Dark World Transcendents would've been prepared for their assault. Moreover, they would make use of their remaining Mortal Ranks and their pawns, the remaining Noxians who failed or chose not to defect to us as a shield.

Well, their plan wasn't simple assault anyway so even if they're prepared, those girls would be able to manipulate them in their palms.

As soon as my vision synced with the Avatar, I was met with a scene that was something usual from action movies on Earth.

The Avatar was currently in a dark place with only a single luminescent stone hanging from the ceiling illuminating the place.

There were neither windows nor any other decorations inside the room. And apart from my Avatar, those who were supposed to be with him weren't around.

However, in front of him, an unfamiliar guy was tied to a wooden chair and restrained by three layers of the thick Chain, the same Energy Restricting Chain that was the nemesis of Ele's Incarnation.

Their plan succeeded.

According to the Avatar's memory, the tied-up guy was the descendant of the Great One Rhellor. A Rank 2 Transcendent was caught by them within the six hours that passed.

While I observed the descendant who's currently out of sorts and had a bloody hole at his side, I recalled the Avatar's accumulated memories.

As soon as I cut off the connection with it earlier, the four women led by Sofiel called the Heroes and the Luxian Transcendents to relay their plan.

By splitting them into two groups, they would have different objectives.

Sofiel and Fleur took three Luxian Transcendents with them. Their objective was to lure the Transcendents out of their hole they're hiding in.

Yumiko and Jayna took the Avatar as well as the two Heroes with them. Their objective was to make use of that time to covertly sneak inside the Noxian Capital and capture that descendant.

By utilizing Fleur's Teleportation Spell and Yumiko's borrowed ability from the Overlord of Dimensions or the Spiral Guy, their two groups arrived at the vicinity of the Noxian Capital in no time.

Going by the plan, Sofiel, Fleur and the three Luxian Transcendents did the opening act by allowing Fleur to cast her Transcendent Spell, terrorizing the Capital by how flashy the casting of the Transcendent Spell happened.

It drew in the surrounding Elemental Energy which in turn became like a rumbling storm that instantly alerted them to activate the Barrier Formation.

However, against the Transcendent Spell of a Rank 2 Transcendent like Fleur wherein she even added the features of her Transcendent Pathway, the Barrier Formation popped like a bubble allowing the Spell to continue its descent, toppling the Noxians' famed Aristocrat Tower down followed an artificial flood engulfing the whole Central Area.

With a flashy opening act like that, the whole Noxian Capital was alarmed, most Mortal Ranks at the Central Area drowned from the sudden flood and those outside it panicked at the dreadful sight.

And more importantly, that did the trick.

The bees in hiding were successfully lured out of their nest, drenched and enraged. The Noxian Transcendents Marina and Benedict as well as some of the remaining Dark World Transcendents including that Dark Beastmaster whose Soul-bound Beast died against me and the Dark Soldier Transcendents one of which took an arrow for the female Dark Soldier immediately flew out to confront them.

Well, what happened next wasn't caught by the Avatar's eyes since they thoroughly enraged the enemies, especially Marina and Benedict, that they followed Sofiel's group outside the Capital.

Thanks to the intelligence they gathered, Sofiel and Yumiko were certain that the descendant wouldn't move even when provoked openly and that was exactly what happened.

Once Yumiko judged that the distance of those lured-out bees was sufficient for their plan to work, they moved out of hiding.

With the use of her Spirit Channeling, she easily pinpointed the descendant's location.

Following that, the two Heroes sprang up in action, luring and facing the remaining Transcendents around him.

And lastly, when the descendant became alone, Yumiko, Jayna and the Avatar fought and captured him almost effortlessly.

His Transcendent Pathway was assimilating Physique-type and it certainly granted him explosive strength that the Avatar was almost destroyed for tanking his attack.

Nonetheless, Yumiko just used her Spirit Channeling once more to borrow strength from a Higher Spirit that was most likely assimilating the same Physique-type properties.

Due to that, it became a contest of strength between Yumiko and the descendant.

However, the one who ended that fight was Jayna. Using the Vermillion Bow, she timed her sneaked attack and punched a hole to that descendant's side.

Using the looted Chains that were used by the Dark World denizens during our assault towards the Portal Location, the Avatar tied him up and brought him to a secluded location.

And that brings us to the present.

I moved to his front and slapped his cheeks, waking the delirious guy up. "Hey, are you awake? Is it true you're a descendant of a Great One? Is that a title something you have to brag about?"

I clicked my tongue and circled behind him. I grabbed his shoulders and a pained howl came out of his mouth as soon as I started tightening my grip.

Because of the Chains, he wouldn't be able to use his Dark Energy to accelerate his regeneration or defend himself.

Although Sofiel and Yumiko talked about presenting his head for me, what they meant was the extraction of information from this guy's mind.

Let's see what kind of information he can cough out.
