The Ultimate Support Character

Upon seeing myself bleed along with this racking pain on my whole body from defending against a full-powered attack from someone sufficiently stronger than me, I realized that it has been a while since I got this injured in a battle.

Most of the time, my battles will be easy. Easy being it will either end quickly because of my overwhelming advantage or I will just run away and have someone deal with the opponent if I ever found one I can support.

Besides, after becoming a Transcendent, apart from the descending Transcendents, there's nothing that can threaten me anymore in a Mortal World.

However, this is a battle between two Transcendent Worlds.

Perhaps I am unconsciously taking this world and this Dimensional Space lightly as well. Although I felt the feeling of helplessness twice or thrice, I have never experienced being in a situation of true life and death. There were moments that I could recall being close to that, however, they were all easily resolved in one way or another. And it doesn't end up with being severely injured.

Now that I think about it, all of those instances added up have made me too confident about my survivability.

Furthermore, this time, I charged in confidently because I believed that they would come in and save us. And that they did.

But what if… right?

My Adaptability keeps me calm in this situation but I shouldn't be too confident about my survivability…

That's why…

I looked onto the enemy Transcendent being bombarded by Irja's colorful attacks.

At first, he was screaming from pain because of the sudden enhancement of Irja's stats. With all of her stats enhanced, not only did it make her attacks stronger, but it also allowed her to increase the rate at which she delivered it.

If she was just an ordinary machine gun before, now, there's only a little delay between her attacks that allowed her to prevent him from jumping or dashing out of the way.

To further doom him of his chances to retaliate or escape, I brought out my System and added Irja to my list of Allies and gave her the 50% of my Support Bonus. After adding three people, there's only 50% left from the cumulative amount of boost I can give to an ally.

"Huh? What's this?" Irja suddenly exclaimed as she turned her head towards me once more.

The Domain and my other buffs didn't bring up system messages but by adding someone to a System Pathway-related skill, a system message will naturally show up.

"A Skill born from my Transcendent Pathway. Go on and kill him." I answered her.

Everyone in the Dark World has a Spirit-type Pathway after all. Being a Transcendent. She probably already encountered someone else who's treading a System-type Pathway. Telling her that it's from my Transcendent Pathway, will be easily acceptable even. Besides, I can control my Flux Energy and make the energy fluctuating around my body appear as Dark Energy. Moreover, due to having adapted to it, just like before, I look like a native for them.

Upon hearing my answer, Irja reluctantly nodded and brought her focus back in front of her. Even if she wanted to ask me more questions, she could only hold onto that thought for now.

"Argh! H-help me! I can't retreat!"

The enemy Transcendent's pained cries started to form words as he called onto his allies.

However, at the moment, all four of his allies were locked into combat against Monady and the other three.

My eyes naturally sweep over the battlefield.

Because of the restriction to fly, everyone would always go back to the ground. Even Irja's broomstick-like equipment only let her glide over to our position to save us.

With everyone more or less at the same level as their opponent. Although the four couldn't gain an advantage, it's enough for them to prevent them from answering that guy's call for help.

"Damn it! How did it suddenly turn to this? We're about to take the first kill!" The acting leader of the enemy shouted his frustration as his enlarged foot clashed against Monady's crimson-colored Energy-based attack.

As sparks flashed at the point of impact along with the ground that broke from the force of the two, Monady's taunting voice traveled to everyone's ears.

"Because you're weak. Five of you couldn't even finish one of us in a short time. What kind of ambush was that? Go back to your world or rather die for us so we can leave this space" Monady sneered before her almost invisible Domain opened up from below her feet, sneakily subjecting her opponent under its effect.

"Y-you--"

Before he could finish his reply, he was sent hurtling towards the darkness by Monady's follow up attack, parting it away for a bit before becoming engulfed with it.

Upon seeing that, she followed him into that Darkness and threw him back to the middle.

She's aware that separating from us will be dangerous. Here, we can see each other.

Up above, apart from our position where the most of the activities were happening, the map also showed movements from two of the nearby scouts, scouring the places around us. In case reinforcement from the enemies arrives, we will be aware of it as long as they pass through a scout's 100-meter range.

The same with Monady, Udann and the other two were fighting an even battle against their respective opponents.

With the limited range of Domain and how I suppressed it, I continuously used a lower nodes Flash Step variant of Elemental Spell to put them under the buffs.

In a span of less than a minute, I circled back to my previous position after enhancing the other four.

As soon as they were subjected to the Domain of Valor's buff, each of them finally gained an advantage against their opponents. Monady, who already gained it a little earlier was now thrashing her opponent.

Since I'm now acting as full-on support. I didn't stop at just giving them buffs.

Not minding the already high energy consumption, I pulled out the Totem.

Channeling my Flux Energy in it, Energy Explosion Projectiles started forming and accurately traversed the distance to hit all of five of the enemies at least three times, subjecting them to the random debuff of the skill.

As soon as that happened, Udann and the others finally managed to injure their opponents.

Blood bloomed and immediately dotted the surrounding area.

"Any of you, deal with that guy first!"

With a pained expression on their faces, the enemy Transcendents finally took notice of me. However, that's the same for every member of the attacker group.

Although almost all of the enemies put their crosshair on my head, their opponents all moved to block it and with an even greater force, all of their Transformation Skills were triggered. Using that to further their advantage, they pushed them out of the way.

Of course, the enemies not only have their enlarging skills. There's a lot more to their Transcendent Pathway but due to the debuff from the Bedevilled Outburst, they couldn't gain any advantage anymore.

After gauging the current situation, I sent a telepathic message to all five of them. "Kill them before they can think of retreating. Their reinforcements will come soon."

Behind me, the injured scout was slack-jawed at what he's currently seeing. I even heard him mutter, 'How can there be this much of a difference?'

Ignoring him, I used my Energy Manipulation to replenish some of my used-up energy. It's already below half after all. I have to maintain the Domain of Valor and Bulwark of Invulnerability.

Even though they're already at a huge advantage, I couldn't relax yet. Upon that realization, I couldn't afford to be too confident again and make sure that my battles will always stay the same way. Easy.

After a minute of Absorption, I already restored up to 60% of my Energy Capacity.

To bury the nail in the coffin, by using the Totem once more, I started casting another debuff which I created during my time at the Elemental's Forest.

6-nodes Void Elemental Spell: Curse!

Being at Skilled Proficiency, it also allowed me to skip the first two steps which lessen the casting time.

With an interval of 15 seconds per cast, the five enemy Transcendents were all once again stomped deeper into their immediate doom.

At this moment, the screams of pain not only came from the guy who's almost spent after being continuously bombarded by Irja but also to the other four. The flowery rain of blood continued to splatter on the ground and at some parts, a puddle filled with it already formed.

"Enemy reinforcements incoming! Kill them now!" Monady suddenly shouted. On one of her hands, a crystal was glowing which indicated a message sent from one of the scouts.

Up above, red circles could be seen traversing the 100-meter vision of that scout.

Upon seeing that, I put back the Totem and pulled out my sword.

Turning my eye to the one being bombarded by Irja, I put myself into the sword stance before activating a Sword Skill.

Dominating Strike!

As I weaved through Irja's numerous energy-based attacks, his bloodied visage that was still struggling to fight back entered my eyes.

In less than a second, the tip of the Willful Sword aimed straight in the middle of his chest finally felt the flesh.

Puchi!

As if cutting into a very soft object, the Willful Sword passed through to his back, unhindered. And with the force of the Sword Skill, he got blown away from where he was standing.

And following after him, a large eagle-shaped energy-based attack flew up high before swooping down to finally put his struggles to rest.

Leaving Irja the honor to check if he's already dead, my focus instantly switched to the next one.

It's a race against time…

Before their reinforcement arrives, the remaining four will have to die.
