The Ultimate Support Character

By utilizing my Energy Manipulation, the path behind this last white-robed Transcendent became blocked by a thick Energy Screen.

Not only that, but she was also being held by two molded Energy Constructs in the shape of a hand at her feet.

Well, the Energy Screen was legit but those molded Energy hands holding her in place was as brittle as thin glass. If she resisted strongly, those would break. However, she still wouldn't be able to escape.

I kept Ele's reminder to me in mind. My Energy Control was my greatest strength. However, even at this moment, my Energy Molding capabilities were lower than most of my girls who excelled at it.

"N-no… Spare me. We were only ordered to take care of an opened Portal." The female white-robed Transcendent mustered some strength in her voice to beg for her life.

Although there's still a distance between us, I could already see the rising despair and terror welling up in her eyes. A little nudge and she would bawl out her eyes.

Somewhat unbecoming of an arrogant Transcendent just earlier.

"Really? Who ordered you?"

It's easy to guess, I know.

Nonetheless, it was a necessary thing to ask.

"Who else? The Dark Wizards!" The female white-robed Transcendent gasped for her breath as she held onto her throat.

It was faint but I clearly felt the wisp of a malicious Dark Energy exploding from where she was holding at the moment.

She wanted to groan in pain. However, she gulped down his saliva instead resulting in her having a coughing fit where she started spitting out black blood.

Are they cursed by them or was this just one of the restrictions in place?

In any case, it's still not enough to show empathy to them. But it wouldn't hurt to extract information from them.

"I see. What are these Dark Wizards? Are they the ones wielding this kind of energy?"

I opened my palm and I conjured a ball of Dark Energy on it.

As soon as the white-robed Transcendent saw it, her eyes widened before she started shivering as her knees gave up on her.

"Huh? H-how? You're one of them!"

"Not quite. I'm here to hunt them down, you see. Given that you're only following that golden-robed guy's orders. I can be lenient to your remaining comrades as long as I find your answers satisfactory… Ah. Of course and that includes you. As long as you provided us the necessary information we needed."

Those Dark Wizards she's talking about were already holding their necks and she's unaware of it.

Perhaps, by the end of this interrogation, she would be dead at this spot…

Well, they brought it upon themselves. Their deaths wouldn't divert our objectives in this world.

"I… I understand! I'll answer with all my knowledge!"

As if she saw a ray of hope to get out of this hopeless situation, the female white-robed Transcendent tried to grasp my hand, as if looking at her savior.

Well, she failed as I instantly moved back.

At this point, Fleur, Avelin, Leianne and Dannae were already dragging their opponents by the neck. Moreover, that golden-robed Transcendent had his robes ripped apart as huge bite marks made by Fleur's Aquatic Beasts could be seen.

Those beasts bit a huge chunk of her shoulder and her sides as blood continued to flow from it. Even if he tried circulating his Magical Energy to close his wounds, it was a fruitless endeavor.

As to those blue and red-robed mobs, Zerina moved out and forced them to surrender by destroying one of the flying ships along with its passengers.

"Hmm… Well then, Leianne, help me out here." I acted as if I deliberated before calling for an expert. I could torture her like I did the descendant but that's unnecessary anymore. The Dark Energy that exploded earlier had been sneakily making its rounds inside her body.

It's probably not a result of a skill but some kind of equipment. Poison, perhaps?

That wisp of Dark Energy was marking her important organs… when it finished with its task, her life would be forfeited.

That's unless I intervene and take that Dark Energy out of her circulatory system.

"What do we need to know?" Leianne asked me when she stepped forward. Seeing that unusual grin plastered on her lips, this woman was too happy that I was making use of her talent.

"Everything they know."

We could power through here but that's reckless. No matter how strong we became, being cautious was a trait that would never leave us.

After using the Chains on them, we moved onto one of the flying ships to wait for news.

At this point, I started checking on the status of the other groups and what they encountered in those Otherworlds.

Yuko and her group had already met up with Lulu and the remaining population of the Fairy Race. That place was already too dark as if the World's Will was on the verge of being assimilated.

However, that shouldn't be the case. The Dark World was far away and the Mortal World needed to be a certain distance from it to initiate assimilation.

If I'm not wrong, they're probably using the same tactic they used on World of Elements. The installment of Dark World Zones that would slowly reform the Source Energy of the World to Dark Energy.

If they failed to stop that, that world would be filled with Dark Energy and that would prevent the native Mortal Ranks from continuing on their Pathways.

"Take care there. Don't hesitate to run away if things aren't going in your favor. Reinys, Caila and Noelle, remind Yuko for me, alright?"

Even though I'm asking them to abandon that world if things went awry, I'm still confident in Yuko's ability to resolve the problem in that world. My words were just me continuing to be a worrywart.

Before I could contact the next group, Leianne appeared inside the captain's cabin of this flying ship.

"They're dead. Regardless of their injury, they all died at the same time… And that included those wearing red and blue robes." Leianne's tone was solemn as she passed a piece of paper to me.

Inside it was the pieces of information she managed to extract from those Transcendents.

They all died at the same time, even that golden-robed leader. They became pawns of the Dark World denizens, it's a pity but… I don't know them personally and I don't have any connection with them so I feel nothing. If anything, I'm glad that the threat to us lessened.

"You did great. Thank you." I grabbed her hand and pulled her in my embrace before continuing. "Did that occurrence shake you?"

"No… I just thought that since that one woman was willing to tell everything, she can be saved from the fate of dying." Leianne shook her head and tightened her grip on my shoulder.

This girl, despite being a great schemer and someone who could devise a devious plan, still has some soft spots and a kind disposition… I guess among all of them, I'm the only one that was too apathetic. I could save that woman who willingly talked but I chose not to.
