The Ultimate Support Character

In my previous life and this present, the greatest weapon that I possessed was my Energy Control. Although I was disadvantaged at first during this second life for starting three years late compared to Yuko and the Heroes, once I awakened Energy Control through my Psyche-type Pathway and continued progressing on my Adaptability and Mortal Pathways, that evened out the gap of 3 years.

Except for the World's Wills of different Mortal Worlds, no one could contest me with my Energy Control. That includes the Principal and even Remilia.

I lost against Remilia not because of her Energy Control but because of the overwhelming gap between our UPL. Back then, there are probably more than 1000 UPL gaps between us. If she wanted to, she could truly crush me without exerting too much effort on her part. That's why being able to talk to her and to get her interest could be said to be my lifesaver.

Since almost everything needed energy to be as effective, including pure physical attacks, having the advantage over its control was always considered a trump card.

And that was being perfectly shown at this moment.

As I leaped from where I was, the Swordforce-covered Willful Sword already took on the form of a Dark Azure Lightning Gigantic Dragon.

I know, the name sounded as if it's just a mashup of things but adding in the properties of the Willful Sword it absorbed from its victims, that became the end result.

The Lightning Tribulation, the Dark Elf Transcendent and the Gigant World Transcendents from the Dimensional Space.

At this point, as I recalled my memories and so the Sword Skills I also created back then.

Although it hadn't been recognized by the system yet, the memory, the stance and the intent of a Sword Skill was like a fresh memory in my mind.

I would probably not be able to draw the true prowess of this Sword Skill but it's enough to overwhelm a restricted Rank 3 Transcendent.

"Stop squirming around. This will be over soon."

Down below, the red-skinned Rank 3 Transcendent was violently squirming around to grind the Energy Chains binding him, utilizing his Strength and Endurance stats to the max.

"This might not kill you but please, enjoy this welcome gift I prepared for a rude guest such as you."

I smirked and gripped the Willful Sword in one hand before pointing it down to him.

The surrounding Level 3 Energy suddenly stirred, turning the sky from blue to purple, covering the sunlight that was shining down in this vast uninhabited desert.

Amidst the roar of the Lightning Dragon that looked as if it's from the famous midget white-haired Squad Captain's Bankai except that the dragon wasn't made of ice, the rumbling of deafening thunderstorm ensued as I slashed the Willful Sword down towards still-squirming Rank 3 Transcendent.

At first, it didn't feel like a proper Sword Skill because of its gigantic dragon appearance, however, as it gradually shortened the distance from its target, the Dark Azure Lightning Gigantic Dragon transformed into a gigantic Energy Sword.

"Aaarrgh! Break for me!!!"

Although my eyes were being blocked by the Sword Skill that I unleashed, the voice of that red-skinned Transcendent reached my ears.

It's a desperate scream that was filled with unyielding determination to struggle against the incoming sword skill which aimed to stab through his defenseless body.

I knew he wouldn't go down easily. He's a Rank 3 Transcendent.

Someone with a UPL of more than 700.

Before the Sword Skill stabbed through him, the Energy Chains binding him broke altogether.

Amidst that desperate scream, the Source Energy he's keeping in his body exploded and spread out, creating innumerable barriers in the form of Energy Screens.

Following that, he stood up from the hole he was buried from and the desert sands around him swirled into a hurricane before transforming into a tall sand wall, adding another layer to his defense.

At this point, he hadn't activated any Skill from his Pathway yet. And despite only using his Energy, he had an overwhelming amount of Energy to spare now that he successfully removed the bindings.

A Rank 3 Transcendent, if he's not like us who was out of the norm, contained at least 100 million units of Level 1 Energy.

Compared to me who could only store 100 thousand units by being at the 5th Realm of Mortal Pathway, it's undeniable that he totally outclassed me in that department. Even with my overwhelming Energy Control that outclassed him, he could match that with the sheer bulk of his Energy.

Back then, I didn't have this System that allowed me to gather bonus stats so… at Rank 2 Transcendent, the more than 10 million units of Energy was enough to match a 100 million if coupled with my Energy Control.

Nonetheless, it's not like it's an ordinary Sword Skill. Moreover, it's powered by Level 3 Source Energy.

When it hit the outermost layer of the Energy Screens he hastily put up.

The Energy Screen was easily penetrated.

1st layer!

2nd layer!

21st layer!

As if a bullet was drilling through thick armor, the Energy Sword continued its descent to the recovered Rank 3 Transcendent. However, it couldn't be denied that it slowed down considerably.

"Husband! Let me help you!"

Suddenly, from where my Companions were hiding, the 15 meter-tall Sanguine Aegis appeared. It's wielding its pure Regenium Morning Star and the rhombus shield that was previously the Orb of Reinforcement.

Perhaps they thought I was about to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of Energy they felt from the Rank 3 Transcendent, these girls came running out of their hiding spot.

Although I only heard Nysia's voice, the other three were definitely inside, waiting for a chance for them to deal a surprise attack.

"Another Rank 2 Transcendent and… I see. A Machine from a Psyche-type World. But that appeared too sloppy. A product of a Mortal World."

As if he was already feeling the ease now that the Energy Chains was removed from his body and the Sword Skill I unleashed was being blocked by his defenses, the red-skinned Rank 3 Transcendent confidently turned his head to the incoming giant metal robot, easily analyzing the Pilot and the Ultimate Metagen alike.

Being a Rank 3 Transcendent his experience was surely more than the Mortal Ranks and normal Rank 1 Transcendent of the Dark World who descended at the World of Meta.

"Product of a Mortal World. Yeah, right." Nysia sneered from inside the Metagen.

Obviously, she didn't broadcast her voice but to answer that analysis, although true, her Level 3 Flux Energy also exploded in power, instantly bringing her in front of me.

Lifting the rhombus shield in front of the Ultimate Metagen, Nysia activated the Skill imbued on it.

"Armor Enchantment!"

As her Flux Energy flowed through the Shield, blinding green light instantly covered the Sanguine Aegis before it plunged down alongside the Energy Sword.

Putting the Shield in front of her, as soon as it touched a layer Energy Screen, it would disintegrate into nothingness.

In a time it takes to blink our eyes, the Energy Screens that were slowing down the Energy Sword were all obliterated and the Sanguine Aegis wasn't stopping.

"T-this… Hey! All of you! Stop dawdling and take them down!"

As the previous confidence he acquired from removing the binding Energy Chain crumbled along with his defenses, the Rank 3 Transcendent shouted towards his still-weakened subordinates with a hint of panic in his voice.
