The Ultimate Support Character

Raiden charged in headfirst with his sledgehammer. The Halo on top of his head glowed even more brightly before it changed into an aura that covered his whole body. When it faded, an armor made from condensed Brute Energy covered him. With illusory streaks of lightning running over it, every weaker enemy who touched that were either electrocuted or paralyzed at the spot.

While they're all fervently charging into the battle, I was watching from where we landed earlier. Even Old Man Reol stays behind, watching out for possible worthy adversaries that will jump out from enemy ranks.

I took out the Dispelling Bow that was stored from my system and readied to shoot an arrow at any moment. Also, my other hand was grasping the necklace which contains the Orb of Enhancement. I've already started gathering Brute Energy to cover at least those around me. A little boost from this will turn the tide against their current opponents, and that tide will spread until it becomes a wave that will be able to shake them. Will those Beastmasters make a move here?

Raiden was at the very front, smashing down enemies much weaker than him. Hell, he's a Saint Realm who's even stronger than a King Realm expert, why is he enjoying smashing down those weaker than him?

Is it possible that he has a skill that makes use of his bloodlust? Possible. But yeah, without confirming it, I'll view him as just a maniac who enjoys smashing ants.

Ah. Well, I might be the same if I have the same strength as him and let my dark thoughts take over. No?

At this first contact, they're only fighting the weaker Corrupted Barbarians and Controlled Beasts. Those Dark Beastmasters were still at the back, just watching the denizens of this world kill each other. Looks like they all have the same strategy. Even back in Yuko's Otherworld, they corrupted that priest and the damage he managed to bring in that kingdom could be said as short of devastating.  Their Western Border was annihilated and was about to lose a Noble House and it's territory to the enemies if not for Yuko.

Here, it's even easier for them to corrupt these barbarians. Since even without them interfering, they will still fight each other. They surfaced now for the sole purpose of nipping the trouble in the form of Raiden.

As soon as I finished activating the Orb of Enhancement, my prediction came true.

In a blink of an eye, the tide of battle turned in our favor. Starting from the ranks in front of me, even Raiden's speed of smashing them rose to an alarming level.

"Hey, Daisuke! What's this?! This is great!"

He shouted from far ahead. He also got enhanced by the Enhancement, he's clear of his own strength so after being enhanced, he felt the increase of his stats.

This guy. He didn't have to shout my name. The enemy might pick up something. The Invading World was still unaware of my existence. If they found out someone was tagging along with the heroes, I might get in their hit list as well.

In their eyes, it will look like some kind of Augmented Skill but this sudden turn of tides will definitely force them to make a move.

I moved myself further from the back but my eyes were still trained on Raiden. Until now, no one could hold more than one move against him, be it a beast or a barbarian. Due to his trait of being the one always leading the charge, those behind him have high morale. The skeptical new tribe members were also in awe, though most of them were still hesitating, those who wanted to go up the ranks of their new tribe followed the changing tides and went along to trim the numbers of their enemies.

Most of them were still ignorant about the true nature of the enemy. They were only caught up in the fight for territory of their previous Chieftain but when they saw the unfamiliar beasts ridden by the Dark Beastmasters at the back, all of them were terrified by how different they were compared to the beasts they often encountered.

Another Halo manifested above Raiden's head and this time it covered his weapon, enlarging it to almost quadruple its size. One swing and the enemies around him were swept clean.

It was at that time when an aerial unknown beast ridden by Dark Beastmasters dived down to his spot.

Not just one but five.

Unlike the three beastmasters we've met at that deserted camp, the five Dark Beastmasters atop the aerial beasts each wield a different kind of weapons. With a wave of their hands, all of them released a snake-like beast who plunged towards Raiden in a bid to coil around him.

He only watched on as those five snakes descended from above.

From behind Raiden, five figures leapt and met the snakes, each of them with a Halo on atop their head, the five snakes were cut into pieces even before they reached Raiden.

Right after that, Raiden also leapt from where he was, still wielding the enlarged Sledgehammer, he swung it towards the five diving aerial beasts.

Those five Beastmasters were probably only at the level of 3-Star, 5 Saint Realm experts could easily kill their beasts and one swing of his gigantic weapon blew them away. As to what their fate after that, no one knows since there's only a spray of blood that rained down in that area.

That's the first time these Beastmasters made a move but yeah, those were just them testing the waters. To see how strong Raiden currently.

With that, they could finally properly gauge that his strength was beyond a 3-Star if translated into their own power level.

The barbarians, seeing that quick battle that's way beyond them, the original Heavenly Lightning Tribe army cheered while those the others stood dumbstruck. That's the man who killed their previous Chieftain, if they don't start believing in him now, they'll either stand on the opposite side or die on their own in this chaotic battlefield.

"Old Man, aren't you going to join in?"

At this point, only those higher in rank among the Dark Beastmasters hadn't made a move yet. Even with their towering beasts that could be at King Realm in strength, they stood by to watch.

There's about 8 of those and there's one more who was behind them. He's not riding any beasts but he was hovering above like a king watching his subjects.

Does he need to do that? For all I know he's just a grunt. The real powerhouses are those who couldn't descend yet. Feeling superior? Maybe a 5-star Beastmaster?

"There's no point for now. I'm waiting for that guy."

Old Man Reol answered as he pointed to the hovering Beastmaster. Well, it is quite obvious that he's the leader among them here.

"I thought you'll give the strongest to polish Raiden."

​ Based on everything he did, I came up with a theory that he's actually training Raiden. As to whatever reason, I don't know.

"I'm afraid he's still not up to the task. Tell it instinct or anything but his Halos or whatever ability he has cannot defeat that. He also has those beasts he can pull out of his pocket, right?"

By this statement, he admitted that he's still stronger than Raiden.
