The Ultimate Support Character

The sun was already about to set when Boris and the Protectors from the Church arrived. According to him, the road was blocked halfway from Aves to the Elemental's Forest that they have to make a detour lest they would be surrounded by an army led by three Transcendents.

Through the use of his Illusion Eye, he managed to fool them by conjuring a scene that covered them to block the enemies' view of their march.

He then excitedly told me that during the Transcendent Trials, his Illusion Eye was upgraded. Apart from what he'd shown me before, he can now create a bigger illusionary scene that was hard to detect unless one was in close contact with it.

Before, he could only conjure somewhat realistic illusory objects. His illusions are hard to detect unless you put your hand in them. Now it has been upgraded to conjuring a whole scenery. It has more value this time since it can now be used to confuse the enemies or rather the fleeing enemies if there will be one.

Aside from that, his first ability to conjure realistic objects was also slightly upgraded. He can now cast an illusion not limited to objects that could stick not only to himself but also to someone he chose. Or in short, he can now cast a disguise on him and someone else.

Though it's not as perfect as Jayna's disguise, in a chaotic battlefield that we will be marching on, being perfect isn't that important anymore.

And since it was made from his Psyche Energy, despite having a limited duration, it's possible to maintain the disguise by pouring in more Psyche Energy to it.

Because of that, I had him cast it on us to change our current appearance. Instead of letting them standby to wait for the Dark World Transcendents to make a move, they'll now be joining the march to land a sneak attack on an unaware Transcendent.

"Let's move out!"

With Fleur's voice serving as the signal, the gates of the wall that was erected through the use of an Elemental Spell opened. Coming out from it were three groups of 300 Elementals and Luxians alike.

If someone looked from above, they would notice that every Elementals and Luxians had a serious expression on their faces. Most of them were holding different kinds of staves which all glowed with the color of their Main Element while some were holding different kinds of melee weapons, also glowing in different colors.

They're all ready to cast an Elemental Spell at any moment.

Aside from that, everyone was neatly lined up in the Arrow Formation which I imparted to them.

A number of golden armored Luxians were at the front of the Formation while holding identical rectangular golden shields large enough to cover their whole bodies. Since their Main Elemental Core are all of Light Element, the light coming off from their shields was enough to illuminate the dark night and blind whoever's standing in front of it.

Behind them were Elementals and Luxians whose weapon is a spear. They're in charge of attacking through the gaps that will be opened between the shields when they reach the enemies.

The others whose specialty is close-combat were spread out to the borders of the formation. They were left with the task of protecting the shape of the Arrow Formation.

And lastly, at the rear were the most Elite Luxian Protectors who would fly around to deflect attacks from above.

In the middle of the three Arrow Formations were me and two of my clones with the Energy Zone, Domain of Valor and Bulwark of Invulnerability opened.

Though it burns through my Energy reserves to keep them open for longer periods of time, actively absorbing the Energy Zone's gathered energy for a while was enough to replenish my reserves.

Thanks to Boris' Illusion Eye, even the clones I conjured bore the same disguise. And since the clones have limited duration, some of my focus was on them. As soon as they disappeared, the Totem was always ready to conjure more that would replace them.

With this kind of setup, we started marching outside to meet those Noxians and Dark World denizens who kept on intimidating the Elementals to go outside.

"I didn't think my disciple's Ability could be upgraded. If I had known about it, I would've told him to put in the time to train it."

Fleur who was also disguised like me whispered at my side.

"It's fine. They gathered information about the Helpers of the Worlds. Most likely Hikari and Boris' information is also included in it. It's safe to assume that they know their previous Unique Abilities."

I don't know about Hikari but her Ability was kind of unique as it could borrow or steal anything. The unpredictability of it was slightly lesser than Yumiko's Spirit Channeling.'

"I see. What about you? They still don't know about your existence?"

"Maybe they will be able to connect the dots now after I encountered that Transcendent Incarnation. They will soon find out that I've been to multiple worlds and each time, I was mistaken as a native."

Even though I've only exchanged a few words with Remilia, I have a feeling that she gained a lot of information about me through it. In the same way, I gained a lot from her words.

In any case, my identity was bound to be exposed ever since I became a Transcendent, letting them think that they solved a mystery is good as well.

As the march of the three Arrow Formations continued, the previously relaxed Noxians and Dark World denizens have started to scramble on their feet.

Now that we've given them what they wanted, leaving the range of the Forest's Defensive Formation, the Mortal Ranks leading their troops had a smile on their faces as they looked at us.

For sure, they're thinking that we're all marching to our deaths.

"Drive them away!"

"This is our land, our world!"

"Drive them away and expel the traitors of this world!"

"The Great Protector is with us. It will be an honor of a lifetime to be at the same battlefield as him!"

Though we didn't give them any orders to chant, similar shouts started to be heard from every part of the three Arrow Formations.

Funnily enough, they were all started by the Luxian Protectors, it then spread out that even the Elementals started chanting them despite not knowing who the Great Protector is.

The zeal they were exuding was enough to shake the surroundings as they synchronically shouted. Maybe after this, the church will have another set of devout believers.

200 meters.

100 meters.

50 meters.

When the Arrow Formations reached 25 meters away from the enemies, everyone stopped their tracks. Moments later, different kinds of ranged Elemental Spells were unleashed from the Elementals and Luxians placed in the middle.

At this moment, I don't need to give orders anymore. To avoid us from being discovered by the Transcendents, the orders were already given out before leaving the gates and to someone who will lead them in our place

Well, if they're not dumb, they would've noticed the enhancements received by everyone through the Domain of Valor or even the Quintuple Shields circling around everyone. But even until now, there are no movements from them.

"Deflect those spells and counteratt--!"

Someone shouted from the enemy ranks. From the aura he was giving off and the way he stood in front, he's a Rank 5 Mortal but before he could finish his shout, his body became riddled with ice spikes as he fell dead on the ground.

Those ice spikes were from a 6-nodes Elemental Spell but the speed was enough for him to not notice it arriving.

"Do you have a grudge on him?"

I asked the woman beside me who sent those ice spikes as she nonchalantly switched onto a different target.

"Uhm. Not really. It's only polite for us to give our best even against weaker enemies, am I correct?"

Fleur shook her head before casting another Ice Spikes which killed another Rank 5 Mortal who was giving out orders.

"Lady, I love this polite side of you. True. Don't hold back even against an ant."

Following her example, before the Spells of the others landed on their vanguards, I cast a Manifold Aether Burst to another Rank 5 Mortal shouting out orders.

His body was so soft that the Spell passed through it and continued to kill two more Dark World denizens behind him.

BOOM!

And after that, the clash of long-ranged Elemental Spells ensued covering the sky with colorful lights.

The stray spells that managed to survive that clash started dropping down but the Luxians behind we're prepared for it. Deflecting them all before it could hit someone.

But that's not the case for the enemies. With most of the commanding officers shot dead by us, there were no clear commands that reached their troops' ears resulting in them doing whatever they wanted.

Some melee soldiers moved forward to break open our formation but were easily deflected and killed by the shield and spears in front.

Some moved back to cast more spells but those we deemed a bit of threat were shot down by us.

And some instantly retreated, abandoning their positions.

"They're now in disarray, move and cut everyone down!"

The Luxian Protector who I appointed to command shouted. The shield-wielders at the front heeded it and the Arrow once again moved, traversing the remaining 25 meters of distance to stab straight through the enemy ranks.

"It's time, Daisuke."

Fleur commented when she felt the Transcendent Aura which spread out from somewhere behind the enemy lines.

"Then it's time for us to hunt them down instead of the small fries."

With the Totem in hand, I conjured a Transcendent Clone which instantly flew up in the sky, getting the attention of the Transcendent who spread out his aura.
