The Ultimate Support Character

Use Aether on a Transcendent Spell? If she said to use my entire strength to block that, then that's plausible.

Aether and Void can be said to be the strongest Element here. But I can only match what she's casting with a 6-nodes Elemental Spell. Also, I haven't created that kind of an Elemental Spell yet. Apart from the revamped Flash Step and Air Bullet whose Proficiency was still at the Beginner level, I have nothing else...

But Fleur didn't know that.

I flew up to be at the same height as her and observed her forming the Transcendent Spell from where I was.

It's a 13-nodes Elemental Spell. 12 of the Elemental Nodes she conjured were arranged in a circle and the slightly bigger 13th node was situated in the middle of the Spell Nucleus.

The way each of the nodes extracted the surrounding Water Elemental Energy was like an opened floodgate, adequate to produce a storm current with Fleur as the center.

Her oceanic blue hair, as well as her thin, azure robes, fluttered violently against the wind. Her posture at the moment gave her the image of a Water Goddess exerting her influence on the region.

As the 13-nodes of her Elemental Spell solidified, Fleur's Domain extended from her feet, wrapping her immediate vicinity in an enormous bubble filled with water generated from the Water Elemental Energy.

A few seconds later, aquatic creatures started to be conjured from inside it which all menacingly glared at me from a distance. Those creatures were different from the Ice Shark she used earlier, they were all life-like even if their core were formed purely of Water Elemental Energy. One more thing to note was that each of the creatures had an exquisite form firmly fitting Fleur's image.

Since she's casting a spell exceeding that of what a Mortal Rank can do, it undoubtedly possesses a strength powerful enough to obliterate anyone under a Transcendent and could seriously injure one if he was hit by its full power. However, it's extremely long to cast that someone or something is needed to be in front of her to prevent her from getting interrupted.

With her Domain opened like that, it took up that role. Those creatures conjured in it were glaring to intimidate me from attacking her.

Well, this sparring is a training for the both of us, I'll let her finish it without any interruptions. But if we're on the real battlefield, I'll take up that role of becoming her shield to successfully complete the Spell and unleash it to our adversaries.

Our upcoming opponents won't just escape now and will become hell-bent on killing us to pave the way for their total control of the world.

"Here it is, Daisuke. This is a Spell I created recently after having a glimpse of my Transcendent Pathway."

After saying that, Fleur's eyes also glowed with brilliant azure light. The Spell Nucleus was successfully formed and she's now in the process of unleashing it but still, it was painfully slow.

Transcendent Pathway is still something out of my reach but seeing Nysia and Lucas' change after glimpsing onto it along with Nysia's explanation, I started to theorize what a Transcendent Pathway is.

It's probably not just improving the completed Mortal Pathway. If I have to guess, it would start to involve another Source Energy Types.

Since she asked me to meet it using Aether, I can only rely on this revamped Air Bullet and the Totem.

Like her, I raised the thick Totem Pole above my head, deactivated the Nullification Zone to return to my original Energy Control and poured in the necessary Aether Element to form the base of the Spell Nucleus.

Soon after that, a small Spell Nucleus has started to form in front of the Totem's body. With only 6 Elemental Nodes, the speed at which it formed was obviously faster than the 13 Elemental Nodes of Fleur's Transcendent Spell.

Before Fleur's Spell fully unleashed itself, a silvery-white Aether Elemental Energy flooded in my position before an unassuming silver burst of energy shot towards the blue-haired, blue-eyed Water Goddess.

6-nodes Aether Elemental Spell: Manifold Aether Burst!

Pssshhhh!

The silvery-white beam which was unleashed from the Totem looked unassuming but at every one meter, it traveled from the point of origin it was growing in size.

Halfway through, Fleur's delayed Spell has finally finished its unleashing process and instantly engulfed the whole area with an overwhelming pressure brought by her Transcendent Spell.

The forest turned chaotic as the thick and old trees uprooted and were sucked into the storm of Water Elemental Energy.

Amidst all that, the silver burst of energy continued growing while traversing the remaining distance.

With the help of the Totem and the increased output from wearing the White Knight, even if it was dwarfed by Fleur's Transcendent Spell, it clashed head-on against it!

As a deafening explosion ensued from the point of contact, my vision was instantly blocked by a deep-blue hue and knocked me off from where I was. The pain hadn't registered quickly and I still managed to activate the Nullification Zone as well as the other defensive skills and abilities. But all of those were futile as I was completely washed down by that wave of energy produced by her Transcendent Spell

Before my vision blocked out, I found myself sinking down with Fleur flying towards me while shouting something.

When I came to, my vision was instantly met with Fleur's beautifully sculpted face. The back of my head, despite being inside a Virtual Space clearly felt the soft and squishy thighs that I was using as a pillow.

I'm back on the ground. The Powergen I put on had its helmet broken, exposing my head. The simulated forest was totally devastated.

That spell was so strong that it might be dangerous for her ally if she used it in battle. Even so... That kind of strength is reassuring.

I lost to her. Despite using the Totem and the White Knight Powergen, there's no way to cope against a Transcendent Spell which was inspired by her Transcendent Pathway.

An apologetic expression could be seen on Fleur's face. And due to being this close with her this time, I became exposed to her womanly charm that I was ignoring before.

Err... It shouldn't be what I was focusing on but this woman has this captivating aura that I couldn't ignore now that I'm this close to her. The thin, azure robe she was wearing has little damage which completely exposed her shoulders and the nape of her neck. And that increased her charm.

"We're in a Virtual Space, you don't have to feel sorry. I lost to you."

That's the only thing I could say to ease the expression on her face. In the first place, even if my body crumbled under that spell, I would still be fine.

"You didn't try to interrupt me. What are you thinking only using a 6-nodes against it? Are you a fool?"

"About that…"

Then I proceeded to tell her about how it was the best I could do at the moment regarding Aether and my Elemental Pathway.

Upon hearing that, various expressions passed through on that exquisite face of hers and it ended in her pouting her lips as if she was wronged.

"You should've told me. I'm sorry but you're really a fool, Daisuke."

"I guess I am. You don't have to be overly polite about it."

I smiled bitterly and got up from her lap. I reconfigured the Virtual Space to turn everything back to normal. The surroundings as well as our own states.

"Let's continue. This time I will use everything I can."

"Please do so. Don't just watch and use your entire strength. Otherwise, I will be mad at you."

By the time I ejected from the capsule, a little over 10 minutes had already passed outside the Virtual Space. My clones have long disappeared which halted the training of the elites. Luckily, Arland stepped up to lecture them instead while waiting for us to leave the Virtual Space.

Our spar got extended when I started using everything. Due to that, we had a good time trying to beat each other. Fleur despite using only Water Elemental Spells could properly match me even if I activated my buffs. On every 9-nodes Elemental Spells and below, her Proficiency were all at Master level. That just proved that she was on a higher level than those in the World of Meta except Nysia.

My wife could still thrash me if I face her head-on and that was when she's not enhanced by the Domain of Valor and Bulwark of Invulnerability. Most probably, Yuko and Yumiko as well.

I stood up from the capsule and walked over to where Fleur is to help her up.

After that, I looked over to the other active capsule.

Hikari was still inside it which means she's still trying to complete the simulations I prepared. She would be automatically ejected from it as soon as she finished it

Arland abruptly stopped his lecture upon seeing us. One look and I knew that everyone has improved so like Hikari, I had them enter the Virtual Space to undergo the same training.

Afterwards, it became his turn for our spar. Like Fleur, when he experienced the Virtual Space, he expressed amazement and shock before fully indulging in our fight. His mind was at ease since Fleur offered to keep a lookout for us outside.

Just like that, the 1st day of training them ended and everyone, including us Transcendents, got an improvement.

Hikari successfully broke through to Elemental Forming Realm after another session with pushing herself to the limits against my Clones. Her first Secondary Core is of Earth Element.

When the night falls, the three of us convene once again. It's time for that heist.
