The Ultimate Support Character

As the Rank 3 Transcendent howled in his Giant Red Wolf form, the Energy Sword that was the fastest among the attacks aimed at him trembled and lost almost half its power. Nysia was protected by her shield but the momentum she lost weakened her attack. And lastly, the giant Claymores and Purple Swords from Heavy Rain and Bedevilled Outburst have mostly been swept away.

In the end, the Rank 3 Transcendent managed to weaken our attacks before they completely hit him.

When the cloud of dust subsided, the Giant Red Wolf could be seen limping as it retreated for over 100 meters in a blink of an eye.

His direction wasn't to go back to their Space Vessel or retreat outside of the Earth's atmosphere… He's thinking of running around the World!

Compared to his summoned red wolves, this form of his was bigger and more menacing than before. He's also fast enough to travel a kilometer in less than two seconds. And that's without using a skill. If I have to chase him, I still need to continuously use my improved Flash Steps.

His fur leaned more on dark-red than the red wolves he summoned earlier.

If I have to guess. No. I'm sure. His Transcendent Pathway concerned assimilating Spirit Type Properties. Being a Rank 3 Transcendent, he's already at the 3rd Realm. And that's where the Transformation Skill originated.

"He's escaping! Shield Mimicry!"

Upon seeing the wolf's retreating tail, Nysia maneuvered her Sanguine Aegis to chase after him, fully utilizing her Ultimate Metagen's specs. In the end, no matter how low quality, it's still a Transcendent's equipment. It might not showcase her Strength and Endurance, the way it utilizes one's Intelligence was enough to offset that Metagen's shortcoming.

Beside her, a clone of her Sanguine Aegis made of desert sand was conjured by the use of her Pathway Skill.

Following that, the green aura of her Shield's Armor Enhancement mixed with the yellow color of the Earth Elemental Energy as well as its properties.

At this point, her Transcendent Pathway which involves her assimilating the Elemental-type Properties has been progressing well.

After completing the 1st realm, she already on her way to complete the 2nd Realm of her Transcendent Pathway.

The use of Earth Elemental Energy, as well as the Elemental-type properties, made her defense even sturdier.

The Elemental Energy and Elemental-type properties also helped sped up the repair of her Metagen by letting the Regenium absorb it

At this point, Nysia was now even tankier than me.

Before following them, I sent a message to the three women to ask if they still needed help. And as expected, the three instantly replied that they could handle it.

Using every version of my Flash Step through my Ultimate Metagen, I followed behind Nysia and the retreating Transformed Rank 3 Transcendent.

Leaving behind his subordinates and the Space Vessel they used, I wonder what's in that guy's mind?

While Daisuke's group was wrapping up the unlucky Space Vessel that landed on their location, what's happening at the other two locations wasn't that smooth.

Somewhere around the middle of a city somewhere in China, the group composed of Irja, Erin, Avelin, Yumiko, Fleur and Leianne were facing off against at least thirty Rank 2 Transcendents and one Rank 3 Transcendent as the leader.

And somewhere around a town in Brazil, Yuko, Zerina, Sofiel, Reinys, Caila, Noelle and Dannae were also in a standoff against another group of foreign Transcendents.

At both places, the authorities of the country sent their troops thinking they could do something.

Luckily, a division of Earth's Defense Army was stationed at both places. They cleared the place of meddling by the weak Mortal Ranks as well as the citizens who would become collateral damage before the Space Vessels landed on its predicted location.

In China, the passengers of the Space Vessel originated from the Xeno World, an Elemental-type Invasive World. Although they're bipedal and could probably be likened to a human, their most non-human trait was how they all seemed to be made not of flesh and blood but Elements. In short, Elementals. And no, they didn't look like the Elementals at the World of Elements. Even if Fleur and those of her race could only be compatible with one Element, they're still made from flesh and blood. Otherwise, Fleur's parents wouldn't ask Daisuke for a grandchild if their anatomy was different from each other.

The Xeno World's Rank 2 Transcendents were either Wind, Fire or Water Elementals. And their Rank 3 Transcendent was clearly a Wind Elemental.

Irja took on the job to stall the Rank 3 Transcendent while the other five took on more than five Rank 2 Transcendents at once.

"A Sage World that lacks an expert. This is too funny. Before the other thieving worlds could get their hands on this, we Xenos will take the bigger cut!"

Opening his Transcendent Aura and Wind Elemental Domain, the Rank 3 Transcendent who shouted with confidence disappeared from where he was standing.

Irja who's already close to a Rank 3 Transcendent was holding onto the Totem Pole. Because Daisuke couldn't be with them, he handed it to her.

After being proven as another Imbued Tool, Daisuke repeatedly inspected the Totem to find out everything it could do and how strong was the Pathway Skill imbued into it.

With the little time that he had, he only discovered that the Imbued Tool was at least made by a Sage Stage expert.

The way it could strengthen any Skills regardless of the origin Pathway was what he based it on.

The higher the quality of the Energy used to activate the Totem, the higher the chance for the Skill to be strengthened, more than double of its original power.

Because Irja assimilated Element and System-type Pathway for her two slots, she wouldn't be able to use the Level 3 Earth Energy to activate the Totem.

Nonetheless, her Level 2 Dark Energy was more than enough to strengthen her normally cheap and easily thrown Energy Attacks.

As for the System that she got when she assimilated the World Energy, it was a rare type called Rainbow Wizard System.

Mixing in her Energy Attacks from her Spirit-type Pathway, her Elemental Spells from her Elemental-type Pathway and her Color-coded Wizard Spells from her System-type Pathway, her rate of attacks was tripled than when Daisuke first met her.

Using those to shorten the gap between her and the Rank 3 Transcendent, Irja was still considered the strongest Companion of Daisuke.

"Sister Irja, let me Enhance you again!"

When Avelin swatted down her Rank 2 Transcendent opponents away, she flew to Irja's side and used the Imbued Tool in the form of a necklace to buff her.

Compared to when it was still an Orb, the Imbued tool hanging on Avelin's neck was strengthened. Although the added stats were still fixed, the value of the buff could now be strengthened by the number of Energy units funneled into it.

Daisuke taught her how to properly use her Imbued Tool and in this location where they're also outnumbered, Avelin's necklace became one of the defining factors why they're not being overwhelmed by their number of enemies.

Nonetheless, not being overwhelmed didn't mean they could handle them easily just like what happened at Daisuke's location.

If they became careless, they could be hit by multiple attacks without giving the enemy a chance to defend themselves.

Among them, Fleur was the one taking on the most number of Rank 2 Transcendents or rather, the most number of Fire Elementals. Against a Water Elemental Supreme like her, their fires were often negated.

"That monster! Girls, I just heard from Jayna. Their group was about to wrap up their enemies, apart from the Rank 3 Transcendent who fled, more than 50 Rank 2 Transcendents were now captured by them." Erin shouted in frustration while she controlled her Shadow Clones and Pillars to surround her enemies. Turning the tables on them, she's one of the girls who's doing well when it comes to group battles like this.

"Although I love that monster, I still wanted to catch up to how strong he became right now. Let's wrap this up as well!"

After saying that, Erin's Flux Energy exploded.

From around her, a huge patch of darkness was created.

When the mix of Fire, Water and Wind Elementals attacking her was engulfed by it, they became sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered by her.
