The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 197 An Otherworld In A Grave Situation



Right. Something really happened. I already informed Nysia about this and she expressed her concern.

On the Otherworld where I last sent my Incarnation, I became exposed to a World where the Dark World is currently dominating.

The situation was grave enough that if it continues, the Hero will either have to run away to preserve her life or go back to Earth while waiting for the world\'s downfall.

My Incarnation determined that I needed to be there to resolve the current situation. And since my Incarnation is also me, I supported that decision upon going through the memories it brought back from there.

As an Incarnation, I already instructed the Hero to use the Support Recall skill to summon me there in 3 days.

That\'s why the operation to take over the mines will have to happen before that and urging them to become a Transcendent soon will provide extra security in this world while I\'m in another world. It\'s a bit unexpected but I was somewhat prepared to see that kind of situation when I started sending the Incarnation to the other heroes.

"Whose Otherworld is it?"

Kazeyoshi asked. Though the 30 Heroes are being summoned in different worlds, some of them talked about what kind of world they were summoned into. Asking about that is just normal.

This World of Meta could be said to be relatively safe if they become Transcendents unless something unexpected happens in the future. However, the other worlds especially those whose Heroes I haven\'t added to my Support List yet were probably having a hard time defending against the Dark World.

"Hikari\'s Otherworld, the World of Elements."

Well, that\'s not the real name of that world, it\'s taken from the Pathway and Source Energy name in that world.

And as if destiny is really playing with me, my hunch is correct. The Source Energy Type of that world is really the Elemental Type.

It\'s quite obvious when they\'re calling the Energy as Elemental Energy and the pathway as the Elemental Pathway.

Since I was only there for a day, I only have a limited time to learn about that world.

According to the Heroine, Akarui Hikari, it\'s a world which was previously consisted of 4 races. Humans, Elementals, Luxians and Noxians. However, both Luxians and Noxians disappeared or isolated themselves to who knows where. When she was summoned 3 years ago, the Dark World had taken the former territory of the Noxians as their foothold.

Somehow, it\'s a big world as well which summoned two Heroes. Hikari was summoned from the Humans and there\'s another one that was summoned from the Elementals.

Though that race calls themselves as Elementals, they more or less look like a Human except for the trait that they can only specialize in one Element.

Compared to other Energies I\'ve adapted to, it seems that the Elemental Energy has 8 different variations and it is split between 3 categories. I don\'t know if every Elemental Type of Source Energy is like this but for now, that\'s the standard.

The Natural Elements which consist of Fire, Water, Wind and Earth.

The Special Elements which consist of Light and Darkness.

And the Incomprehensible Elements which consist of Aether and Void.

For their Elemental Pathway, of course, like the other four, it also consists of 5 Realms which will lead them to Transcendence.

Elemental Awakening, Elemental Gathering, Elemental Condensing, Elemental Forming, Elemental Fusing.

At the 1st Realm, Elemental Awakening. It\'s all about awakening one\'s Elemental Core and it also has 5 sub-stages which will lead to fully awakening one\'s core that will determine the Core\'s main element upon reaching the 5th Stage. Whatever result one gets, it means that the person has the highest affinity on that certain Element.

At the 2nd Realm, Elemental Gathering. It\'s all about gathering Elemental Energy to fill up one\'s Elemental Core. In this realm, one can finally make use of their Main Element. For Humans who made a separate title, they call those at the Elemental Gathering Realm as Mageling.

At the 3rd Realm, Elemental Condensing. It\'s all about condensing Elemental Energy and once again filling up one\'s Elemental Core with condensed Elemental Energy. In this realm, in the case of Humans, one can not only use their Main Element but also the other type of Elemental Energy to supplement their Magic, however, they couldn\'t store it inside their Elemental Core. Their separate title is called Mage.

At the 4th Realm, Elemental Forming. It\'s all about forming 5 secondary Elemental Cores which will depend on one\'s affinity on other Elements. In the Elementals\' case, they can only get the same Element for their secondary Cores. Their separate title is called Magus.

At the 5th Realm, Elemental Fusing. It\'s all about fusing those 5 secondary Elemental Cores to the Main Core. Unlike the other pathways which only consist of building up strength until they reach the threshold of Transcendence, each secondary Core fused is a sub-stage. When they completely fused all 5 secondary Cores, they will only be a step away to Transcending. Their separate title is called Grand Magus

They also have a realm name for Transcendence; Elemental Transcending and Zenith Magus as the title for someone who reached it.

However, it\'s still unclear whether that was the name of the Elemental Type\'s Transcendent Pathway.

Apparently, there were Magical Academies there which provided education to every living being and they\'re also the ones who set that kind of title for humans.

However, according to my Incarnation\'s memories and Hikari\'s story, most of the Academies have already been destroyed by the Dark World.

What I witnessed there was the continuous defeat of both the Humans and the Elementals against the Dark World.

During that one day, we had to retreat 5 times from the pursuit of the Dark World denizens dispatched there which were clearly aiming for Hikari\'s head.

The Humans and Elementals have their own Transcendents, however, there were also Transcendents on the Dark World\'s side. Hikari didn\'t know whether those Transcendents were from the Dark World or not. All she knew was that they\'re the main reason why they\'re suffering defeat after defeat.

They\'re way stronger than the Zenith Magus of the Human Race.

Before the memory of the Incarnation ended, I did leave her the instruction of using the Support Recall three days later.

In truth, my Incarnation was only thinking that if it\'s after three days, the cooldown for the Incarnation would be over and I could send it back here after arriving there.

"I see. That Otherworld, huh? I talked to her before and it seems that she\'s not being treated as a Hero at first but only someone talented."

Kazeyoshi said as he recalled information about Hikari.

"You\'re also the same. You three were treated as soldiers here. Since you have someone you wanted to protect, become a Transcendent soon."

Urging them like this will probably put pressure on them but at least, it will wake them up. They\'re not doing a lot during their return here. It\'s because they\'re restricted by their duty.

Amry wanted to protect Elise while Matthew wanted to stand guard for Leianne. Kazeyoshi was the only one relatively free but he stuck himself next to Amry.

It can be argued that there\'s really no chance for them to showcase their prowess but now that the world is stepping into a higher level of batte, they also need to step up their game.

Ultimate Metagens were also being made in preparation for their Transcendence. Due to it having a previous model, they only needed to improve it, reducing the time it will take for them to complete it.

"Yes! We\'ll become Transcendent as soon as possible!"

The three of them said almost at the same time. Somehow, their spirit has been lifted up.

That\'s a good thing. I can leave for two weeks if they become that reliable. Transcendent enemies will soon come and I won\'t be there with any of my companions. I\'m actually more worried about Erin and Avelin. Let\'s just hope everything goes well.

Two days later.

Using the Orb of Concealment, I managed to move the troops I brought with me near the vicinity of the New Haven Regenium Mine. Since it\'s an important operation. I once again out the Purple Haze as my Metagen.

Apart from Leianne. Lunaria was with me along with 10 more soldiers from the Aegis Battalion.

There were also troops that were on standby somewhere that would move out after we\'re done cleaning the mine to take over and rebuild the damages we would be inflicting on the structures.

All 10 of the soldiers were naturally Rank S or above when it comes to Brain Capacity and they all own a Specialized Metagen that was specifically designed for them. That way, even if my buff expired when they went out of the Domain of Valor\'s range, they wouldn\'t feel the pressure of Piloting a Specialized Metagen.

Among the 10, there\'s the Minowa Triplets and Nell who managed to achieve the Rank S these past few weeks since our Patrol Mission.

With my buffs, every one of them will be Rank SSS+ and if they disembark from their Metagen, they\'ll still be as strong as Rank 5 Mortals.

"Remember. We will do a sweep. Leave those who will escape to me and Nell, all of you should focus on cutting them down. Especially the Darkgens."

I started while passing my eyes to everyone who all nodded at me from their screens while shouting their agreement.

"Yes!"

There\'s still a few minutes before the Aura of Concealment ends but the faces of everyone that was on my screen were all battle-ready. Especially Leianne and Lunaria.

The Minowa Triplets also wanted to show off now that they\'re allowed to participate in an important operation.

After this mine. We\'ll continue to the outskirts of the Empire to cut down more Darkgens and Loyalists while letting those oppressed citizens escape.

The Light\'s Cradle\'s personnel were already prepared on screening those escapees for possible spies so all we have to worry about is how to take this mine and cut down every enemy to lighten up the load.

"Now then. Let\'s begin Operation Minesweeper!"
