The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 341 Storage Rings



A bloodied sword in hand and the raging current of dissipating Swordforce and Dark Energy swirling around me was probably the image burned into their eyes.

I don\'t dare to take all the kills but I dare say that I\'m the one who made it possible.

Starting from the guy who got hit by my Dominating Strike, the others followed within a minute.

Udann being the closest to us, synced in with my movements when he saw what happened. With four of his glaives held by his four arms, he locked the enemy Transcendent in combat, not giving it any opportunity to escape. Along with his Domain that has already broken his opponent\'s Domain, I simultaneously cast every Mastered version improved Flash Step.

Because of that, my form probably became a spectacle for the others who were watching. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Darkness.

Each of the elements became my ally as it looked as if I was delivered to the next enemy through their help.

Amidst the colorful flashes of Energy and visual manifestation of it, I clearly observed the face of the next victim.

Although the debuff from my Energy Explosion Projectiles and Curse was resisted to a certain percent due to their stronger than average bodies\', the feeling of sudden sluggish movements was what allowed Udann and the others to completely take the advantage from them.

When I arrived at his back, the enemy Transcendent still tried to turn around to blast me away. However, Udann seeing what I intended to do grabbed him with his four arms giving me the window I needed.

I didn\'t even have to exert a force, the excited Willful Sword whose sentience is slowly growing lifted my arm for me.

The lightning properties sparked out from its tip before lunging towards the exposed back of the enemy.

Accurately stabbing to where the heart should be, another person\'s blood coated the seemingly normal sword.

The screams should be loud enough for everyone to hear. Nonetheless, I turned a deaf ear to it as I weaved through the last three.

Dread was already apparent on their faces as they all tried to break off from Monday and the other two.

With only a few seconds of an interval, the Willful Sword dipped inside three more bodies as it greedily absorbed some of their Pathway\'s properties.

Halfway through it, the ordinary sword could have grown large enough for it to be called a two-handed sword.

"I admit. That was…"

"Amazing?"

"No. Fearsome… Who would\'ve guessed that all of them will die under the sword of a Rank 1 Transcendent?"

"He has a lot of hidden skills. I thought Irja had the most variety after seeing it when we fought the golden statue."

"But he also overexerted himself. He will not be able to move in a few hours. Monady, can you find us a place to rest?"

"I know. We also exerted ourselves quite a bit there. Our lives here depend on each other. What he did not only saved Ramel\'s life, it also put us at an advantage. Look above."

I see. I fainted after all that. I kept using energy at that time until it reached the point of emptying even the reserves in that Invisible storage.

As I opened my eyes, I saw myself being carried on someone\'s small back as we traveled across from roof to roof. That pointy witch hat and slim shoulders was the first thing that entered my field of vision.

Why, out of all people, this girl chose to carry me?

I squinted and took a look at the map above. From our previous position which was near a golden circled, they traveled deep into the northeastern side. Perhaps to avoid the scouring of the reinforcements that failed to arrive on time.

The numbers above turned from 20-20 to 15-20 which reflected the current number of Transcendents in this space.

Although this girl just said that I needed a few hours to recover, the truth was I already recovered enough thanks to my passive Energy Absorption and the trickle of energy from the golden statue.

Now the question is, should I continue faking it? Just from their conversation which I managed to hear in my rousing consciousness, their view of me already changed.

If I suddenly stood up looking fine and all, they would start thinking of me as some kind of monster like a certain two women do.

Compared to them, my energy reserves were miniscule. The fact that most of my skill activation and consumption scaled along it was already a wonder. However, I have a feeling that once I finish with my Mortal Pathway, everything will have a qualitative and quantitative change.

I\'ve never tried opening my buff skills fully here nor have I confirmed how much stats were really being enhanced when there are more than ten of them stepping into it or being affected by it. All this time, I\'m only basing it on how much I\'m getting.

However, thinking about it, it\'s too overpowered if everyone was getting the same amount of stats regardless of their number.

​ The Orb of Enhancement has its limitations. Not only that, but it also needed a lot of energy and time to enhance everyone with it. If I go by that logic, my Domain of Valor probably has the same limitation. Just that no one has pointed it out before because they\'re satisfied with how much they\'re getting.

I should ask Alwyn for a UPL Scanner before going back to the Mortal World and test it again using it to confirm this.

"Here. This place should be fine. The scouts had just updated me that they saw the tail of those chasing after us going back to their side. They had just lost five so their leader must be trying to be cautious now by not venturing deeper on the half of the map to chase after us."

After a few minutes of travel, we stopped on a two-storey house with minimum damage compared to its surroundings. Apart from its doors and windows, the interior looks fine.

Without replying to Monady, Irja carried me inside before settling my body down on a cold and hard floor. There\'s also another thud to the other side of the room where they probably put down the scout we saved.

I kept my eyes closed and naturally pretended to still be unconscious. I will wait for a few hours before naturally pretending to wake up. It will be awkward to open my eyes now when I can still feel Irja\'s presence changed from standing beside me to sitting next to me.

For now, I kept my ears open and my Adaptability to sense what\'s happening around me.

"Their leader saw through what Grenol was planning by telling us to move in this direction." Faren, the other Dafirae Transcendent voiced his observation.

"True. Look at the map, the ones at the core also received the scout\'s message. Those four that are already halfway here are now going back to the Blue Core." Monady agreed and perhaps the others looked up to see the map.

"Here, these are the five storage rings we got from those five." Axter, the other free Transcendent apart from the three of us said.

When my senses passed through the direction of that voice, five shiny energy signatures lit up in my mind. With my eyes closed, I\'m only depending on the energy fluctuations to make out what those five are.

"Seriously, they\'re from a rich world. We only have pouches while they have the more exquisite ring that only Monarchs and above enjoy having." Farlan commented, a little hint of frustration apparent in his voice.

I see. So that\'s another storage equipment much like my Necklaces and their black pouches. If that\'s their standard of being rich it must have been a step up from the pouch.

"There are twenty of them, isn\'t it enough for us to have at least one?" Udann asked, a hint of greed in his voice.

A storage equipment is a precious commodity for every Dark World denizen, now that it presents the chance to have more of it, any one of them will think of the possibility to obtain one for themselves so I don\'t think it\'s wrong for Udann to think like that.

If only they knew… I have more than 20 empty Necklaces inside a necklace with capacities that are exponentially higher than their pouches. I just wonder how high that ring\'s capacity is.

"That\'s if we can kill them all. Remember, our main objective is to destroy their Red Core and leave this place." Monady calmly explained without any hint of the same greed or frustration. I guess she also has this leader quality within her.

She then paused for a moment. By the tone of her voice, she\'s probably scanning everyone around her before continuing. "These five rings. One will be given fully to Ember. Two will be for us to share its contents and two will be for the others. Do you have any objections?"

"None. He deserved it." After half a minute of silence, Axter was the first to answer.

"He can have it but how will we divide the other two?" Faran questioned.

"Like what we did with the stones we got from the gold statue earlier, have someone hold onto the rings first. And I agree for Ember to keep one for himself. He\'s the one who made it possible for us to kill the five. That\'s a fact we cannot refute." Perhaps he got to think it over. This time, the hint of greed was now gone from Udann\'s voice.
