The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 398 Acting Weak



"Not yet but they will soon be…" Erin answered the Old Man\'s query.

Daisuke already told them his plans and they were long aware of the four Companion candidates in this world. It\'s just a matter of time before they become her sisters.

Upon hearing Erin acknowledging them, Leianne was inwardly elated at the thought but for the sake of maintaining her appearance, she tried her best to keep her cool. However, Dannae couldn\'t do the same. The girl became flustered that she immediately lowered her head to hide her current expression.

As straightforward as always, Erin patted the girl\'s head. She\'s already used to how Avelin acts so handling Dannae\'s embarrassment was already easy for her. "You\'re the one who helped him in his Transcendent Trials, right? Don\'t be shy now."

"Un… Thank you, Sister Erin."

"Let\'s go inside first. Sister Erin, Daisuke and Elise probably forgot the existence of the Portal device at the capital of Eldur. Your travel time would\'ve been cut short if you used that." Leianne shook her head.

There were Portal Devices from the Anzeans Technology installed at every major part of the United Alliance for the ease of movements. She couldn\'t believe those two forgot it.

To leave it at that, Leianne convinced herself Elise and Daisuke got preoccupied at their reunion that they forgot the existence of those Portal Devices.

Whether or not the two would be embarrassed at remembering its existence later, only those two know.

"Portal device?"

"Yes. It\'s not the same Portal you used to come here though. It\'s better to show it to you. You\'re going to the Confederacy, am I right?"

"Un. Daisuke said that we have to continue south after passing by here."

"That guy… He made you fly all the way when you can shorten the trip by utilizing those installed devices." Leianne sighed as she once again shook her head.

Understanding what Leianne said, Erin clicked her tongue and pulled out Daisuke\'s communication crystal.

With Leianne and Dannae watching her, she activated it to send a nagging message to Daisuke.

Seeing how casually she did that, a wry smile appeared on their faces.

Although Daisuke always comes to talk and spend time with them with his Incarnation, they\'re not as casual as Erin. In fact, they\'re still somewhat reserved at how they act around him.

At the moment, the two women had the same thought running in their mind, \'Can they be as casual to him in the future?\'

After that, Leianne successfully had the grandfather and granddaughter duo follow them back to the Nysia Tower.

On the way, Erin and Old Man Reol took the time to properly look around the city. The Metagens earlier were still vigilantly looking at them but with Leianne leading the two, they could only watch until they reached the center of the city.

Upon landing on the roof of the building, Leianne led them to an elevator.

However, before they could enter it, all four stopped their tracks as their head turned to a certain part of the city.

Following their gazes, a tall structure with glass as walls could be seen. Inside it was the raised platform where the fixed Portal being used by the Heroes was located.

As their gazes were fixed on that place, the energy in its surroundings stirred as it drilled at the location of the Portal.

A few seconds later, the small hole in space grew and a Portal large enough for three persons to enter appeared.

Following that, three young individuals appeared wearing their school uniforms.

They didn\'t need to guess about their identities, they\'re the three heroes; Kazeyoshi, Amry and Matthew.

They\'re finally back after a few weeks on Earth.

Upon seeing them, Leianne took her communicator and contacted Matthew. A few seconds later a holographic screen lit up showing Matthew\'s face.

"Welcome back. Come inside the tower, Matthew. Take Kazeyoshi and Amry with you. The situation is urgent."

With Matthew returning a nod and a simple \'yes\' as an answer, the call ended like that. Like always, he\'s not a guy of many words.

After that slight pause, Leianne continued to guide them to the elevator and inside the tower.

A few minutes later, they\'re now at the room where the Portal Device was located.

With the arrival of the three Heroes, Leianne took it upon herself to brief the three of the current situation. As someone being left here to hold the fort, despite being weaker than the five Transcendents in front of her, she relegated a task for the three.

"Kazeyoshi, stop flirting with your girl for now. Join Erin and Reol to the Confederacy to assist the Matriarch and Lunaria."

"Who\'s this idiot\'s girl?! Hey, stop holding my hand. I told you to only do it when we\'re alone!" Instead of Kazeyoshi, Amry, flaunting her tsundere traits, pulled her hand away that was tightly clasped by him.

While scratching the back of his head, Kazeyoshi could only step away from his girlfriend to calm her down.

Ever since Daisuke\'s departure in this world to save Hikari\'s Otherworld, the two had already grown closer to the point that Kazeyoshi finally accepted his attraction to the girl. During their stay on Earth, Kazeyoshi stayed by her side. In the end, the tsundere also stopped being a tsundere for once, agreeing to go out with him.

However, being pointed out like that by Leianne, Amry still couldn\'t handle the embarrassment.

Ignoring how they acted, Leianne then turned her gaze to the red-haired girl, "As for you Amry, Daisuke probably didn\'t need help but check on Elise at Eldur."

"… I understand."

"Matthew. Stay here with us. Just in case they also target the Alliance\'s headquarters, having a Transcendent like you is better."

"Understood, Princess."

"I told you, you don\'t need to be as polite to me anymore. You\'re not my subordinate anymore but one of the three Heroes of this world. You\'re even a Transcendent while I\'m still stuck at being a Legend-rank." Being her trusted subordinate from before, Leianne naturally had a good impression of Matthew.

Because of his lack of words and being someone who seldom shows his emotions, Leianne wasn\'t sure whether Matthew was just truly loyal or he admired her as a woman.

Either way, if it\'s the latter, she couldn\'t reciprocate that. But being her subordinate for more than 3 years, she knew that it\'s most probably the former.

After a few reminders, the two Portal Devices whirled into activation and the four Transcendents stepped in to arrive at their destinations.

Hearing Erin\'s nagging voice ringing in my head, I could only own up to my blunder… I admit, I completely forgot to tell them to use the Portal Devices installed at the capital of Eldur… Elise also forgot about it…

Well, let\'s not nag at her. My appearance and the current situation probably also occupied her mind. Either way, I have to thank Leianne later.

"Daisuke. You said you\'ll let me deal with them." Avelin suddenly commented while her eyes were still stuck on the screen, watching what\'s happening in front of us.

Like I decided, I\'m limiting the movements of Black Mist to give them the notion that it\'s hard for me to deal with all five of them.

However, in truth, even if their Domains were completely opened, My Energy Nullification negated their effects, I\'m only acting as if I\'m being bogged down by it.

If I want to, I would be able to impale one of them easily using the Metagen\'s regenium sword. Holding back at this moment will make them too confident of themselves that\'s why the clones I conjured weren\'t performing outstandingly.

"Right… I told you I\'ll let you deal with them. Pick your target then. I\'ll get you close to it. Pull him out from the inside of his Darkgen."

"That one!" Like a child picking her favorite snack, she pointed at the Ultimate Metagen of the guy who recognized me.

That guy wasn\'t strong at all. If not for my Incarnation being limited in strength, he wouldn\'t have gotten away against it.

Avelin picking to deal with the weakest among them sounds plausible to let them think that our strength was limited.

"Alright. Prepare to jump out." Focusing my gaze on the Ultimate Darkgen that\'s currently augmenting the Transcendent\'s skill to deal with one of my clones, I controlled Black Mist to make it appear obvious that it\'s about to charge towards the chosen Darkgen.

Excited at what\'s about to happen, Avelin moved slightly to reach my lips, initiating a kiss.

After being satisfied at how I responded to her, she giggled before jumping out of my arms to prepare for jumping out to deal with her target.

At the same time as we shared that kiss, the Black Mist already arrived in front of the Ultimate Darkgen.

It had just swept away the clone that was attacking him. However, upon seeing the real one suddenly appear, the Pilot inside instantly panicked.

Even if I couldn\'t see him inside that Darkgen, I could imagine how the guy was now trying to input more commands to retreat immediately.

A few seconds later, its metal wings spread open and Dark Energy flowed through it, trying to boost its speed. However, before he could flap his wings to fly away, I circulated my Flux Energy and grabbed onto his Darkgen\'s shoulders before Energy Threads shot out, lodging onto the giant robot\'s four limbs and torso.

As the Energy Drain activated, I opened the cockpit slightly for Avelin to jump out from.

Upon seeing that, she and her Pillar Guardians jumped out, instantly aiming their full-powered attacks on the Darkgen\'s cockpit located at its chest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"No! Let go of me!" The Pilot of the Ultimate Darkgen anxiously shouted upon finding himself being drained of his energy and fully restricted in place that he couldn\'t reach for the girl trying to forcefully break through his Darkgen\'s armor.

However, no matter how he struggled and even if he activated all of his skills to try and push the Black Mist away, I firmly held onto him while letting his skills hit it.

With this, what will appear in the other four Ultimate Darkgens\' eyes was me sacrificing my defense to completely deal with this Transcendent

A few seconds after that, the sound of metal being ripped away rang out.

From in front of the screen, I could see Avelin already holding the distraught Dark World Transcendent by his neck.

While still maintaining that innocent smile on her lips, Avelin\'s grip on his neck gradually tightened, utilizing her overwhelming Strength stat.

Although it\'s inaudible because of the distance, the way the Transcendent\'s head tilted to the side showed how Avelin easily snapped the guy\'s neck.

That girl… Just how strong is her grip strength? Moreover, snapping someone\'s neck while having that innocent smile… She could terrify whoever\'s watching that.
