The Ultimate Support Character

As they all felt the sudden decrease of their strength along with the side effects which included for them to feel the symptoms of cold, fever, or even diarrhea that were unlikely for a Transcendent to feel.

Among all the Orbs I possessed, this and the Orb I got from Sofiel were the least I was using.

Nonetheless, like any other Orbs, they're something that transcended the realm of normal Skills.

"W-what did you…"

The leader of the eight grimaced in pain as he tried to inquire why I did what I did. However, there's no point replying to him now that we started.

Instead of wasting my time on him, I simply opened my buffing skills, followed by summoning my Pillar Guardians and Clones.

This is the same as the previous worlds. I only acted to save us the time of finding this place.

It was somewhat far from this world's civilization so if we looked for this Portal Location by ourselves, it might take more than a day.

Now that we're here and their Transcendents were gathered in this place, even if there were one or two strays that they didn't mention to me, they wouldn't matter anymore after we closed this Portal.

The eight tried to withstand the Ailment's effect by fully expanding their Dark Energy and even casting skills that probably removed and debuffs on them. However, if Concealment could only be detected by those sufficiently stronger than me, Ailment could only be forcefully erased by the same type of people.

The best they could do was suppress the Ailment's side effect.

Unfortunately, my Companions wouldn't wait for them to recover.

As soon as Bulwark of Invulnerability and Domain of Valor covered the five, they all moved according to what I told them.

Avelin, Leianne and Dannae rushed towards the eight weakened Transcendents. Zerina activated a Rune, pinpointing the location of the Formation's core part. And lastly, Fleur flew up, with her Source Energy transforming into a stream to take her to the location of the hidden Mortal Ranks as well as the two Transcendents.

While they're all busy taking down their targets, I nonchalantly stepped inside the Fortress. The four Pillar Guardians and five Clones taking out anyone who will block me.

Despite using different kinds of Spells or Skills to at least injure me, everything they threw would be weakened by the Nullification Zone or if it's a lot weaker, it would just vanish into nothingness.

Perhaps the scene this time was what could be seen in those kinds of movies or anime where the villain or a main character would step foot inside a fortress filled with enemies.

Instead of being hurt, they would make it appear effortless that just by waving their hands or slight movements of their bodies, everyone would be knocked out.

As I continued my steps, I heard that leader's voice once again, full of pain as if being attacked like this was an injustice for them.

"Why? Why do we deserve this? If you want the credit of conquering this world, we could give it to you! Just let us live."

Even at the moment of life and death, he still thought I was one of them.

"If you still have the time to talk like this… I guess you're a capable one. However, you all need to die today. No exceptions."

The Mortal Ranks in front who were trying to block me from approaching the Portal all shivered in fear upon hearing that phrase.

Nonetheless, they still picked up their Energy Tools to continue attacking me.

Just like this, screams from the Dark World denizens continued to ring out.

The Portal Location that was previously peaceful and the Dark World denizens who could be laid back by only ordering the Church to do their biddings silently left this world.

Perhaps, the denizens of this world would be able to discover this place in the future and find their remains.

Who knows? They would probably think that another civilization lived here.

However, that will be a story for this world's future.

Around 10 minutes later, I was now sitting before the Portal, watching it churned and spew out large swathes of Dark Energy.

With the corpses around that scattered in this place as the background, the five girls positioned themselves behind me. All of them were unscathed. None of them would have any trouble with those weak Rank 1 Transcendents after all.

At the moment, my Energy Manipulation was already in full activation as a whirlpool of Magical Energy which covered the whole fortress surrounded me.

By putting all my focus on it, I started to move the whirlpool to slowly mend the Portal.

To ask for its help in closing this Portal, I called for the World's Will of this world.

Even though it answered me in the form of the whirlpool of Magical Energy that was currently under my Energy Control, it refused to communicate with me.

It's there alright. But it's like the World's Will of the World of Barbarian, refusing to aid its denizen.

Perhaps, for it, the Helper it asked from Earth was the best help it could give.

Well, there's no point asking for its motive since most World's Will were emotionless. Only when they're about to evolve would they start to exhibit emotion and base their decision on it. Like Ele.

Because the interruptions were swiftly dealt with by the five women, the Portal was successfully closed once more.

With this, both of our objectives were cleanly dealt with in less than half a day.

While the group led by Daisuke swiftly dealt with the Portal as well as the Dark World Transcendents in the world they went to, the other four worlds were also on their way to being liberated from the influence of the Dark World.

The other four groups all had the same objective. Although the way they executed it was different from one another, the appearance of a strong group of Transcendents was enough to change the previously disadvantaged world.

In the World of Fairies where Yuko's group went, after meeting up with the Heroine of that world, Sunohara Lulu, they launched a counterattack by destroying the Dark World Zones that was slowly transforming the world to accommodate the Dark Energy.

With Yuko's lead, each time they would encounter a Dark World denizen or Transcendent, no one would be able to escape.

By utilizing the denizens of that world as well as the Mortal Ranks they brought from the World of Elements, they would be surrounding a Zone to not let anyone escape their nets.

That way, the Dark World denizens were kept in the dark about their dwindling territory.

Perhaps in a day or two, they would be able to contact Daisuke and tell them the good news.

In the world where Sofiel's group traveled to, like Daisuke, she planned to go straight towards the enemy territory, kill the Transcendents and close the Portal as quickly as possible.

As for the reason? She wanted to go back to her darling's side as soon as possible. With her memories slowly coming back, the longing she has for Daisuke continues to grow.

By disguising themselves as other invaders, Sofiel gathered intelligence from both the natives and the Dark World denizens and that pointed them straight to the headquarters of their targets.

Chiba Ryuunosuke was the name of the Hero sent to that Otherworld.

However, Sofiel shelved that name along with the notion of meeting him to coordinate at the back of her mind.

She along with Erin and Elise never had the intention to make contact with him. Truthfully, Elise only followed them since the two women dragged her along.

She tried to voice her reason but after gathering the intelligence they needed, Elise gave up and just went along with them.

In their group, she got the Support role.

Thankfully, her new Pathways allowed her to do that. What she assimilated were Elemental and Spirit Energy.

In place of them, Hikari who also gave up persuading the frightening Supreme Pontiff of the Church of Great Protector took the Luxian Transcendent with her to search for Chiba and the remaining resistance of the world.

Old Man Reol who's secretly watching over his granddaughter naturally stayed with them.

As for the Mortal Ranks with them, Sofiel only took a handful that they could use to gather more intelligence.

The world was always a big place after all and without a map or welcoming ambushers waiting for them when they emerged at the Portal, they would be searching for a needle inside the haystack which is this world.

Nonetheless, even with the intention of finishing early, it would probably still take them more than a day to finish their two objectives.

About the group led by Yumiko and Nysia…

Yumiko took a careful approach by avoiding early conflicts with the Dark World denizens. She was using her experience as a Hero at the World of Spirits.

Nysia, on the other hand, consulted the strongest among them and a Dark World denizen herself, Irja, on how they would go about their objectives.

Although she was almost always yelling at Daisuke whenever they were together, the girl also had a great mind herself.

Before Daisuke contacted her earlier, she already thought of using her identity as a Dark World denizen in her favor. Naturally, she asked Daisuke for confirmation. Apart from telling her to take care not to slip on her act, her man agreed with what she planned.

Using her Dark World origins, she easily tracked the Dark World denizens and infiltrated their ranks. However, she didn't hastily attack by themselves.

Remembering her man's constant reminder to be careful, Irja had Nysia tip off the Hero of that world. They would be taking down the Dark World invaders by cooperating with the Hero and the natives.
