The Ultimate Support Character

Back at the frontlines of the Dimensional Space, Remilia still had nothing to do.

Apart from joining the boring meetings wherein the members of the Dafirae Tribe still couldn't find a correct approach, her days were spent honing her skills.

Whenever possible, she would stand up at the forefront like a Field Marshall, watching over the battlefield of Rank 2 Transcendents and some Exalted while eyeing the enemy general.

If the other side was also as bored as her, one of their Rank 4 Transcendent would go out and engage her in a battle that could be taken as a spar.

Of course, it's a serious spar. If one became careless, their opponent would take that chance to injure the other mercilessly. One injured Rank 4 Transcendent was an advantage after all.

There was already one instance like that. Against one of the lecherous Rank 4 Transcendent of the enemy. Because he had the gall to focus on touching her body whenever they would clash rather than actually sparring with her, her blade cut off two of his fingers when she saw the chance.

When that happened, the Rank 4 Transcendent lunged at her with more ferocity than ever, dropping the somewhat gentlemanly way of talking to her as he tried to get back at her.

However, with how angry he became, more opening in his defenses was exploited by Remilia.

If not for his colleague intervening on his behalf, he would not only lose those two fingers but also a huge hole on his neck.

"Remilia, today's the day I'm going back to my world. Stay alive so I can take your hand when I return."

While she's passing the time inside the room cleaned up for her, the audacious guy's voice entered her mind.

'This Daisuke... Using my crystal to say something useless again.'

Although she said that, she immediately went out of her room and stared towards the direction of the entrance to this Dimensional Space.

After leaving a telepathic message to the Oxflame Monarch, Remilia's energy coagulated and became a blade beneath her feet, launching her from roof to roof.

Because of the restriction to fly, she's using her conjured blades as a foothold before launching them forward, saving her the time to run.

In less than 15 minutes, she reached her destination. On top of the highest ruins, overlooking the entrance and exit to this Dimensional Space.

It didn't take long for her to see the audacious guy's visage, following a crimson-garbed Exalted of the Dafirae Tribe and walking alongside a woman in a purple witch-like outfit.

Upon seeing that, she clicked her tongue and sent her reply to his message earlier. 'Don't ever come back again. If I see you, I will not hesitate to cut you down.'

That Remilia, why does her voice sound angry? The words I sent to her were a normal parting message, right?

Although I wanted to see her, I couldn't selfishly ask Alwyn or Irja to escort me there. Well, it's better this way, I still have close to zero chance of wooing her when I'm still 3 ranks behind her.

When I was still deliberating whether to reply or not, her voice entered my mind once again.

"If you return and look for me, make sure you have the strength to beat me"

"Of course, wait for me, Remilia."

As soon as I replied, Remilia cut off the connection on her end. I could use the crystal again to reconnect it but that would just make her mad.

She always sounded cold but why is she angry this time?

Could it be?

I halted my steps and turned around, scanning everything in sight.

And there she was. Up above the tower-like structure of the first ruined fortress, Remilia was staring down at me.

When our gazes met, she turned her head sideways and jumped down from it, disappearing from my sight.

So that's the reason. She even went out of her way to see me off. In the end, I still got to see her one more time, thanks to her. Everything started by being caught by her.

Although that was under Worldy's order. It made me know more about that interesting Incarnation back in the World of Spirits.

Now, in less than two weeks of staying here, I benefited a lot.

I was made aware of the current situation and the known history of this world.

I found out that I'm connected not only to the World's Will but also to one of the revered Great Ones.

I met Alwyn and the other notable characters.

I managed to traverse one whole realm. I arrived in this world at the 5th Stage of the 3rd Realm. Now, I'm sitting at the 4th Stage of the 4th Realm of my Mortal Pathways and it's only a matter of time to reach the 5th Stage. I only needed to completely absorb the gathered energy on top of my head.

And lastly, there's also my somewhat-tsundere new Companion in the form of Irja. Being drawn to her was somewhat unexpected but after all that happened, I will feel the loss if I leave her behind.

I thought I would be coming back alone. Now, with her addition, as long as she manages to pass through the Portal, cleaning up the Mortal Worlds will be easier than before.

If they make use of the resources I will be bringing to them, they will surely reach the UPL required to become classified as a Rank 2 Transcendent.

Not only that. There's also the possibility of completing their respective Mortal Pathways. Saving every other Mortal World will not be that difficult anymore.

With nine slots going up to eleven on the Supported List, eleven more Heroes will get the benefit of my Support Bonus.

And that's 55% additive to the current 70% of what I could get from them. In the end, the bonus I will get from them will be 125% of their average base stats… Am I about to leave them in the dust? Is this system this broken?

"I'll ask one more time, are you sure you wanted to bring her with you?" Alwyn asked again for the nth time. Perhaps she's thinking that I'm hastily deciding this. Her task was only to send me back to a Mortal World. There's probably no mention of an extra.

Alwyn will go out of her way to also include Irja.

"Yes. I'm truly grateful to you, Alwyn. I promise I will pay back this debt of gratitude in the future."

"Alright. This is my task. If you're grateful, direct that gratefulness to the Great One."

For sure, I will be thanking Illiana and Worldy in the future. But it's not bad to continue being on good terms with this woman. The medicinal pills she gave me saved us in that space. If not for that, we would have no way of flipping the tables against Rowena and the other two with her.

Irja was aware that those pills were from Alwyn. After she finished questioning us, Irja went ahead and expressed her gratitude to her.

Upon hearing Irja's heartfelt gratitude towards her, Alwyn softened up to her that without me noticing, the two were already on speaking terms.

With everything finished, Irja and I both looked back one last time before stepping out of the Dimensional Space.

[You left the Dimensional Space]

[The Dimensional Space Restrictions have been lifted]

[You entered the Dark World]

[Received +6 Strength, +12 Endurance as World Bonus]

[Will expire upon leaving the world]

As the notifications filled my mind, I felt something being lifted off my shoulder.

Both Irja and Alwyn also showed an expression of being relieved. The restriction of flying was a minor one but having their efficiency reduced to 70% was the harshest restriction they received.

If not for that, the battle we experienced would've been easier. Unlike them though, I only felt that restriction when I used the Energy Incarnate Transformation.

At this point, not only us were leaving the Dimensional Space. Most of the Rank 1 freed Transcendents could be seen leaving it. They're the cowardly ones who after delivering the cargo they carried, they waited for a week right next to the exit.

Well, there's no point blaming them. It's not like they could help that much. However, they missed a lot of the benefits they should've gotten if they teamed up to clean a ruin.

"You two, I'm going to report to the Tribal Sovereign first, prepare and wait for me in that tent of yours." Alwyn turned around and instructed us.

Because she's an Exalted of the Dafirae Tribe, she still has a duty to fulfill.

Apart from the seriously injured ones, none of the other Dafirae Tribe members could be seen leaving the Dimensional Space, instead, more of them were entering it to reinforce those still inside.

Taking Irja's hand, I nodded at Alwyn and led my Companion to where we will wait for her.

Using the time we earned to be alone, I told Irja the things I held back on telling her when she's still not my Companion.

About myself, about the world I came from is not really a Mortal World and some things about me that only my Companions knew.

During that time as well, my Companions who were anxiously waiting for me started contacting us one by one. They now have a separate cooldown for Interdimensional Communication after all.

I told them the estimated time I will be leaving the Dimensional Space so they could contact me once I'm out. However, at that time, I still haven't decided about taking Irja as my Companion.

That's why upon seeing someone next to me. Each of them raised an eyebrow and scanned Irja from head to toe before coming to an understanding that I got another Companion.

I'm sure. I needed to appease them one by one again. It doesn't matter because after introducing Irja, everyone accepted her into their fold. It's not the first time after all.

I'm becoming more scummy, aren't I?
