The Ultimate Support Character

280 Her Incarnation in Predicament

[Dark World Zone 3A has been destroyed]

[Connection to the World's Source Energy has been restored]

Along with those two system messages, I conjured three more clones to render everyone unconscious except for Jayna and me. The surrounding Dark Energy which filled the Zone was instantly dispersed and due to its nature, it became visible like a fog, obscuring our vision.

The Dark World guards who had just sighed in relief became alerted when the clone didn't stop walking.

They readied themselves for any attacks. However, none came.

It stopped in front of the kneeling guard leader and reached into his clothes.

A few moments later, a small pouch made from an unknown black leather was held in its hand.

Like the Necklace that we got from the Ancient Ruins, the Dark World was also utilizing storage equipment in a form of that black pouch. But only those rich and powerful had them. And the space it could hold was a lot lower than the Necklace.

Among the Dark World guards here, this guard leader is the only one among them who has one.

And earlier, that horned guy's pouch just went straight to the Necklace. There's nothing more valuable on him except his weapon and the few dark Energy Stones that's probably mined from their World.

Not every world has that kind of resource but I guess there's an equivalent to it. In the World of Spirits, there's the Spirit Ocean droplet which is rarer than most if it's not bestowed by the World's Will. In the World of Barbarians, there are those rare herbs which could help in enhancing their Physiques, the Regenium at the World of Meta. Only the World of System doesn't have something like that.

After taking the pouch, the clone threw it to me under the eyes of the restrained guard leader.

Inside, the scarlet red bow sat quietly. I took it out and its use and properties entered my mind. Its name is Vermillion Bolt. It's also an Output Enhancing Equipment, it has sharp bow limbs that could be used as a melee weapon and the arrow that could be produced when pulling the bowstring could enhance one's energy output. It's not even limited to one arrow per shot. As long as someone can provide the Energy required then it could release an attack with Transcendent Strength rapidly.

"Do you want a bow, Jayna?"

Erin loved to be covert with her dagger while Zerina has her two short swords. Nysia has her Metagen and that morning star. Among the girls, only Jayna and Yumiko don't have a proper weapon.

"I don't know how to use one. And will it be suitable for me?"

"Think about it, while you restrained them with your vines, you can shoot them with it."

"I see. Then I will try it. Train me how to use it later."

After deliberating for a while, Jayna nodded.

"Alright, here take this. Then let's finish up here."

I threw her the pouch where the bow was stored.

She always relied on her vines after all. If she became proficient with the bow… she could really become a useful Support.

I'm giving away my role, eh?

Well, I also don't need it that much. I have the Purple Sword and Energy Explosion Projectile that could bombard someone from a distance.

After taking that pouch from the guard leader, the clone continued to move and this time, he took the Converter and the half-filled Tank. Also, it didn't forget the storage which the other guard used to store the Dark Energy from the Tank.

Like the pouch, the clone threw everything to me. This is a harvest, huh?

"C-can we leave now?"

One of the guards restraining their leader asked nervously. Since I'm not mentioning anything, they also hadn't moved from their position.

The place they were at was already somewhat blurry due to the fog of Dark Energy filling up the place, if I waited for more it would be dispersed without getting the benefits from it.

"Not yet."

I answered. I will let them live. That's what I said after all but that didn't mean they could leave under my watch.

After saying that, I conjured three more clones and ordered them to knock everyone unconscious.

"W-what the?!"

"Stop!"

"Y-you're really!"

Angered shouts came out from their mouths as the four clones moved swiftly and started knocking them out one by one.

"Relax. You'll just have to sleep for a while, alright? You'll wake up later."

When the last word left my mouth, the last Dark World guard was knocked down with a relieved expression on his face.

The riot behind us already stopped after the Zone shattered like glass earlier. Each of them ran off to somewhere, leaving the place full of their corpses. As to what fate those Noxian expendables will have after this, I don't really care anymore.

"Well then Jayna, let's finish off the task set by the World's Will and in turn, take some benefit. Let's sit."

Jayna followed my instruction and sat next to me, once she started concentrating, I activated the Energy Zone to gather the surrounding Energy, be it the Dark Energy or the Elemental Energy which started to mix with it after the Zone was put down.

In less than a minute, a gigantic cloud of Energy hovered on top of our heads. The fog which filled up the place lessened as more and more Energy got sucked in by the Energy Zone.

Separating half of the gathered Energy, I used half of my Energy Control to gradually convert it to Elemental Energy which dispersed a little away from my Energy Zone.

Well, it will be sucked in again if I convert it near.

With the remaining Energy Control, I will filter out the Elemental Energy for now and focus on the remaining Dark Energy for our use.

Three hours later, Jayna's eyes opened after she finished the Absorption Process. The Flux Energy in her grew in intensity but it's still off for a breakthrough. Nonetheless, there's a refreshing smile on her face as she starts to stabilize her current condition.

[Level 5 Support Expert System (58%)

Ability: Level 2 Adaptability (69%)]

And like hers, even with that massive amount of Dark Energy, it only passed the 50% mark. I guess I will really need to use the Energy Stones and the Elemental Stones we stole. My Adaptability also increased by 1%. That's a progress considering how slow it was already.

"Great job, Daisuke."

When I started stabilizing my gains, the World's Will voice rang inside my mind. Looks like she was watching us since earlier and she waited until we finished absorbing our share of Energy.

I wonder what happened to her Incarnation? Did she also finish destroying the other Zone?

"Thank you. What about your Incarnation? Did it succeed?

Since I can talk to her through my consciousness, I replied to her using it.

Ever since that day when I met her, the World's Will's voice will suddenly ring in my consciousness when I'm not busy with other matters. Due to the evolution that she was experiencing, she was trying to understand various types of emotion by talking through me. Though I don't think this world will become a Transcendent World in just a matter of days or even a year, helping her tide through the changes happening in her could be said as me repaying for the goodwill she showed me. I'm benefitting a lot from her.

"My Incarnation is still inside its targeted Zone."

"Huh? It shouldn't last that long, right? Did something happen? Do you want us to check? Wait. We're going to check. That's the plan. Whoever finishes first will help the other."

The fight against the Transcendent didn't last for more than 10 minutes and coercing the Dark World guards also didn't last for more than that. The conversion and absorbing was the only thing that led us to stay here for more than three hours.

If that's not a sign that nothing wrong happened to her Incarnation then I don't know what is.

"Thank you. I will be in your debt. You both take care. If it's also something you couldn't solve, escape with your Companion and leave my Incarnation."

"Alright. But that's a part of you. We'll do our best to save it at least. Well, we still don't know what's happening there so forget these gloomy conclusions, for now."

Ending my conversation with the World's Will at that, I also stood up and called out to Jayna.

"Let's go, Jayna. We're going to help the World's Will."

Jayna stopped at what she's doing and went back to my side.

"Did something happen to her?"

"I still don't know yet but that's what we will do. Check on her and help her close the Zone on her side."

After checking the place out to make sure that we didn't miss anything, we rode her miniature Spirit Ocean once again and blasted through the sky towards the nearest Zone.

Five minutes later, the Zone could already be seen from where we were. From outside, the dark membrane which covered the Dark World Zone was already full of cracks and the Noxian expendables that should've been entering that area could be seen running back to where they came from.

Before we could land somewhere near, Jayna and I were alerted and looked into the distance. From the direction of the Noxian Capital, we saw two dots that were gradually getting bigger as they rushed through the sky the same as us.

"Reinforcements from the enemies…"

Jayna whispered as her expression turned serious.
