The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 577 Critical Point

As the storm of blades surged down against them, the twins grimaced. They didn't dare underestimate it after witnessing how I easily neutralized their attacks earlier or how I took down the granny. They hurriedly conjured another flower but this time, their petals looked way smaller than the one conjured by their Imbued Tool.

However, it had the same if not higher intensity of Source Energy, making me suspect it was akin to their trump card.

Thanks to that, I could finally get to pinpoint the type of their Source Energy.

"Spirit-type, huh?" My forehead creased as I dug into the information within my memories. Having undergone once to completely assimilate Spirit-type properties during my past life and walking on one Spirit-type Pathway in this life, I dissected the intricacies of their Transcendent Pathway.

They're from a Spirit-type Transcendent World that possibly focused on cultivating some kind of inner spirit. They exist within their bodies and seldom get conjured like this. Those spirits have different forms unlike the one in the World of Spirits where everything starts by making a Strand of condensed Spirit Energy which would eventually become the foundation of the Spiritual Twin.

The flowers signified their Spirit Soul and were close in importance to the Spirit Pathway's Crest.

Of course, they're more advanced, and considering they're at Rank 3 Transcendent or the 3rd Realm of their Transcendent Pathway, their mystical abilities were more profound.

"Dai-kun!"

Sensing the same danger coming from the twins, Yuko called out to me.

From up above, I saw the five of them moving into a defensive position while still aiming for the red twin.

Yuko conjured an Energy Shield to block the surge of violet blades.

Zerina and Caila's Pillar Guardians returned to their Pillar forms to amplify their defenses.

Reinys opened up her three Domains to weaken the attacks.

And Noelle readied herself to protect anyone that would be injured. Her awakened Psyche-type ability, Life Force Manipulation, is also on standby.

I once said that it was overpowered but she had yet to use it in its full capacity. Or rather, the deteriorating capability of it hasn't seen the light of day yet.

The girl is gentle in nature, she just can't easily use it like a Necromancer casting Turn Undead.

In any case, she's really a hidden powerhouse and someone who has all the attributes of an Ultimate Support like me.

"Don't worry, Yuko. I won't be as careless or complacent anymore. Let's finish this."

Understanding why she had to shout at me like that, I eased her worries. Her Foresight probably saw the danger we were about to face. She failed to warn me earlier so… part of her must be blaming herself earlier. But that's a mistake I should own. Not hers.

"Un. Let's do this."

Even though I couldn't clearly see her face because of the visionary distractions from the twin, she sounded relieved. I could imagine her smile.

Upon concluding that communication, we soon made our move.

Now that there were two flowers conjured by the blue twin, I inspected them carefully to see how I could break them apart.

Ah. That's right. The answer has already been presented to me.

That Imbued Tool. Since the pair of earrings is supposed to be considered one item, separating them from each other might weaken it or better yet, deactivate them completely.

Then… I have to send the one away.

As the storm of swords continued to rain down below, I started preparing another Sword Skill.

Of course, my Swordforce may be abundant as a Sword Master but it's not inexhaustible. If I failed to manage my use of it, exhausting it might bite me in the ass.

That's why…

I have to make every Sword Skill I perform to accomplish their intended use.

For now… What I decided to perform is my strongest Sword Skill at the moment.

Asura!

"What? You two don't feel as threatening anymore. Is it because of him?" The pervert Rank 3 Transcendent named Ferne glowered at Sofiel and Irja.

Having been put at a disadvantage earlier, the smirk on his face had already disappeared. His pride as the 3rd strongest in this world had been cracked.

He was gloating when the tailed barbarian was killed because he felt that he was still stronger than him. In his mind, it was favorable for his position. However, when even Olive, the veiled woman, got critically injured and was even on the verge of using some kind of forbidden technique, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He stopped thinking about playing around and fulfilling his lust. Now that the two women blocking him became weakened, he had to take advantage of it.

His ability was being suppressed by the two earlier but with their resistance lowering, he believed that he could now defeat them and leave before Olive self-destructed.

"Heh. Feeling confident, are we? No wonder you will not be able to measure up to that dead guy. All you can do is posture with that ability." Irja dissed. Although he's correct, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of it.

Daisuke was a pivotal part of their strength. With just the absence of her buffs, their earlier advantage had immediately been nullified. She's already a Rank 3 Transcendent and even has the Totem Pole; yet, she felt her weakness.

Seeing Daisuke who got critically injured returning to the battlefield to help them, she felt more bitter for being weak.

In the end, they still have to rely on him.

"A vulgar man like you has no right to criticize darling. Kneel and die for us."

Like Irja, Sofiel was feeling the same. She couldn't help but glance in his direction, worried about his wounds. But having been faced with this opponent, she couldn't just come to his side and check on him.

At the moment, all they could do was to keep the vulgar man at bay.

As they were all preparing to clash again, a terrifying energy breezed past them.

And as they turned their heads at its source, they saw a golden giant materializing in the sky.

There. The Golden Asura brandished its sword against the twins.

Upon seeing that, Irja and Sofiel grinned while their opponent frowned.

Using that window where the vulgar Rank 3 Transcendent got stuck speechless at the capability of a Sword Master, Irja and Sofiel launched their attacks.

The Totem Pole materialized as Irja transformed to her upgraded Vibrant Spirit Form and summoned every Lesser and Intermediate Elemental she could call upon.

"Execute him!"

The four wings behind Sofiel spread open before her whole body shone in dazzling golden light. With a golden crown materializing on top of her head, she activated her Crown Skill from her Physique-type Pathway at the same time as she cast a 13-node Light Elemental Spell.

"Come and bring judgement, Oracle of Light!"

Rather than wait for Daisuke's help, the two of his strongest Companions set themselves up to topple the formidable opponent before them.
