The Ultimate Support Character

Sparring against the long-nosed Rank 3 Transcendent of the Arania world, I let the girls form in groups of two or three or go in one on one against him.

With most of them having completed their Mortal Pathway, their UPL began hovering to the late stages of the Rank 2 Transcendent.

Perhaps insulted by what we had him do, Longi, the long-nosed Transcendent, didn't hold back against my Companions.

With the strongest going in first, the others watched intently to formulate their own strategy in fighting against him.

Because he surrendered to us, the Principal made sure to have him cough out everything he's hiding.

The Ability he awakened was called Geomagnetic Control.

That sounded like a grand ability to control magnetic fields but it was thoroughly limited, especially in a higher world where he was seen as an enemy.

If Nysia fought him in another world, she would've lost against him because she wouldn't be able to use her Ultimate Metagen effectively against him.

And this time in the Virtual Simulation where there's no such restriction from the World's Will and the World, being the one with the highest UPL among the three Rank 3 Transcendent who made landfall here, Nysia couldn't replicate the previous result.

In less than five minutes, despite improving from the past two weeks, Nysia lost against him.

Following her, Sofiel, Yuko, Fleur and Irja also suffered the same fate with Yuko holding out the longest.

Although Yuko held out the longest, the one who almost beat him was Irja.

She went all out without holding anything back when she hit him once and threw him off balance. However, she failed to end their battle even with that chance. By the time she exhausted everything in her arsenal, her defeat became inevitable.

As for Yumiko, she's surprisingly the only one who beat him.

The Higher Spirit she managed to borrow power from was the nemesis of Geomagnetism Longi was using.

Coupled with her Spirit Transformation and Elemental Spells, she came out victorious.

Being the only one who won against the Rank 3 Transcendent, the girl instantly went towards me to ask for a reward.

To motivate them to continue improving, I naturally gave her the reward she deserved. And it's not just spending the night with me, I told her I would tell her my experience on a Spirit-type Sage World.

Well, with the abundance of memories inside my mind, there's no way I could detail every experience to them back then, I only summarized the important events that led to the eventual demise of the previous glorious Earth.

Following those who fought alone, the other girls teamed up with each other to have the chance to win and get a reward from me.

Avelin and Erin. Jayna and Dannae, Elise and Leianne, Zerina and Lunaria.

And lastly, the trio of Caila, Noelle and Reinys.

All the abovementioned pairs lost against Longi and the last trio was still battling him at the moment.

Scanning my gaze to the girl at my side, Yumiko smiled bashfully as she took the chance to make use of this time with me. Even if we're currently in a simulation, the girl didn't want to let go of me in fear that the other girls would take the chance to take me from her.

Well, it's part of the reward so the others weren't really planning on doing what she feared.

After spoiling her for a bit, I turned my attention back to the ongoing battle.

Caila, Noelle and Reinys were always a trio ever since their adventures in the World of System and after becoming a Transcendent, their teamwork became even more polished after assimilating to two other Pathways.

At the moment, Caila and her four pillars were trying their hardest to hold down the long-nosed Transcendent.

Kick and punch were enough to send those Pillars flying away but with Noelle supporting behind her, they could go back and continue holding him down.

Moreover, Reinys who were utilizing all her Pathways was alternating between her System-type Wizard Skills and generated Abilities as well as Elemental-type Elemental Spells. And for the thorough improvement of both her System-type and Elemental-type Skills, Reinys used her Transformation which turned her into a Fiery Spirit which enhances all of her Fire-related Skills.

Burning and melting the magnetic field protecting the long-nosed Transcendent, the trio who had yet to complete their Mortal Pathway appeared to have a higher chance of winning against the strong Rank 3 Transcendent.

That should be the case.

Their teamwork was impeccable. Their placement and usage of skills were perfect. And lastly, the offensive skill was somewhat of a menace to his ability.

Nonetheless, strong magnetic suddenly ensued in the middle, repulsing Caila and her Pillars.

"Caila!"

Upon seeing that, Noelle shouted as she hurriedly cast a Light Elemental Spell in the form of a net to catch the strong Knight who was sent flying horizontally by that repulsive magnetic force of the long-nosed Transcendent.

Following that shout, Reinys who was casting a Fire Elemental Spell alongside her Level 5 Wizard Skill conjured two fireballs the size of a three-story house plunged down towards the Rank 3 Transcendent of the Arania world.

Upon seeing that, the long-nosed Transcendent who was now freed scurried off the point of impact.

When he noticed that he couldn't leave the vicinity of the two gigantic fireballs that were actually homing into him,  Longi put his hands together as he once again conjured his magnetic fields to attract every metal shard in the surrounding. And that included even those hiding beneath the Earth. They were all dug up resulting in a massive metallic structure facing Reinys' two fireballs.

"That… That's not fair!" Reinys shouted indignantly. That was supposed to be her strongest attack. Despite it looking a bit lousy, the heat it was producing was enough to even dig up to the core of the Earth.

When that metallic structure he conjured perhaps with his remaining energy, the gigantic fireballs already lost their glow.

Using only his physical prowess as Rank 3 Transcendent, Reinys was knocked down followed by Noelle who was trying to heal Caila.

Just like that, the three lost the all-out sparring against the Rank 3 Transcendent.

"Don't look so down, you three. That was amazing."

Seeing them gloomily returning to our side even after the Virtual Simulation restored them to their peak, I asked for a timeout from Yumiko to go to the three.

Caila bit her lips and refused to look at me. However, she still managed to say something, "I got too overconfident. I thought I already got him."

"I… It's my shortcoming. I didn't prepare enough defense to support your back." Noelle looked as if she was about to cry as she ran over and hugged me. She's really like a little sister at this point.

I immediately patted her head to comfort her before turning my gaze to the proud princess who was even more gloomy than the two.

"I… I will create more spells that will not be able to be countered easily." With her head lowered, the girl couldn't look at me straight in fear that I would see her defeated face.

Nonetheless, after a few pats to Noelle, I moved towards Reinys and embraced her. "It's fine. It's not like I am telling you to win against impossible odds. The best thing to pick up here is that you all improved. The others also failed despite them already completing their Mortal Pathways and you three haven't done that yet."

After saying that, I looked around and saw all of the girls looking at me in anticipation.

I know what they're thinking about. They wanted me to fight as well and show them how it is done.

"Alright. Reinys, look at me." I lifted her chin and had her eyes capture me in her sight. "Will you watch me? It's my turn now."

"... Can you win?"

"I have no idea. But I'll try."

That guy was still a Rank 3 Transcendent. At the moment I could reach up to more than 600 UPL with all my Skills and that's still more or less 300 UPL difference with his UPL. Winning should be out of the question but to lift these girls' spirits up, I needed to show them that it can be done even with impossible odds.

Naturally, I wouldn't do this to let them feel that anyone can win against impossible odds, it's to show them that win or lose, the most important thing was to survive.

What they showed was that they gave up resisting when the strongest attack failed to defeat their opponent. I had to change their mindset. We'll be leaving soon and perhaps, there would be times where I wouldn't be able to monitor them. I wanted them to be strong even if they're not with me.

And at the moment, aside from pushing towards the completion of their Mortal Pathway or advancing their Transcendent Pathways, I'll make them Elites individually who could be strong even if they're on their own.

It's not that I was planning to leave them. Just that, the Universe was wide enough that there were infinite possibilities that could happen. It's better to be ready for everything else.

"Then win for us. Let us see the Daisuke, who was once a Divine Stage expert."

This girl, she's giving me a tough challenge, huh?

"Alright. I will win. Watch me."

That last sentence was directed to all of them.

And after saying that, I flew up and landed in front of Longi.

"Finally, your turn. Will I win anything if I also beat you?"

"Let's see. What about a little help with your Pathway progress?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you want to become a Rank 4 Transcendent? I can tell you what you need to do."

"As if you know that."

Ah. Right. He's unaware that I was a former Divine Stage. Nonetheless, I wasn't jesting when I told him I could tell him what he needed to do to swiftly rise up to become a Rank 4 Transcendent.

That is… if he can win.

"Why don't you win and see?" I smirked as my five Domains were instantly conjured, turning his face from a confident one to one filled with sudden panic.
