The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 277 Emptying The Storehouse



Incapacitating everyone at the Elemental Stone Mine resulted in an eerie silence. The sounds of pickaxes hitting the walls of the mine stopped as it was replaced by the groaning of those afflicted by the side effect of being exposed to the Ailment Aura.

Since it\'s located inside a hole, unless a flying Dark World denizen flew above or a new Noxian expendable arrived, no one would find out about what happened at the mining area.

However, with the continuous influx of new Noxian expendables, it\'s only a matter of a few minutes before someone finds out and reports it to whoever\'s in authority.

Nonetheless, with our objective starting in a few minutes as well, the time bought was enough for us to empty their storehouse filled with the Elemental Stones mined by the Noxians.

"What will you do with these, Daisuke?"

Jayna asked after I entered the storehouse, her arms were already busy putting in every raw Elemental Stones in various sizes inside a Necklace.

"Emergency energy source. Just in case we find ourselves in a place where there\'s no inherent Energy like Earth, these will be of some use to us. Well, if there\'s too much, we can give those Elites a boost. I might also use some of that to accelerate my cultivation. Though it\'s not even two weeks since I achieved a breakthrough, I\'m a stage away from reaching the 4th realm. Once I reach that, I believe I will be getting a lot of new skills and abilities."

There\'s the supposedly Ultimate Skill on System Pathway, the Crown Skill on the Physique Pathway, the Noble Crest on the Spirit Pathway, the evolution of Advanced Energy Control and the accompanying Skill for it on the Meta Pathway, and lastly, my first Secondary Core in Elemental Pathway.

I feel like the first three will be synchronized. They\'re all supposed to be an Ultimate Skill after all. My Transformation as an Energy Incarnate will also be perfected. Also, I\'m curious how the Advanced Energy Control will evolve. Super Advanced Energy Control? Probably not.

Either way, it will really give me a feeling of climbing into a new realm. There will probably be new Support Skills as well or improvements of already existing Support Skills from my System.

Ah. Wait. Will a Support Skill become my Ultimate Skill?

But now that I think of it. Everything given by that System is all for Support. If that\'s the case, the Crown Skill and the Noble Crest will be separated…

Let\'s hope for an offensive one. Something like One Punch to end everyone or One Glare to intimidate anyone. That will be too convenient.

Anyway. That\'s a lot to look forward to, huh?

"That\'s right. You\'re still not a Noble Spirit. You\'re already too strong that it\'s kind of slipping off from my mind."

As if it\'s something she just realized, Jayna\'s expression appeared that of someone who had just been enlightened.

"I know. Even I tend to forget sometimes."

Upon hearing my response, she couldn\'t help but let out a giggle.

As we continued to empty the storehouse, a Transcendent Aura swept over which made Jayna alerted.

The few minutes that we got finally expired. Someone reported and a Transcendent instantly arrived.

That\'s kind of efficient, eh? Most likely they became alerted when the World\'s Wil started to attack every Zone she could encounter.

"Continue emptying this out. I will be welcoming our guests. Follow me once you\'re done."

"Take care, Daisuke."

Jayna said, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

"Un. Don\'t worry, your man is like a cockroach who can dodge even the swiftest slippers."

I smirked before putting my hand on the door.

"What kind of analogy is that?"

Confused at my words, Jayna cutely tilted her head.

"I also don\'t know. I just thought of that pest."

"It\'s refreshing to hear you joke about something, even if I can\'t understand it."

Jayna giggled and continued her work of stuffing the Necklaces on her.

I know. It\'s kind of a lame joke….

Anyway. Let\'s meet this newcomer.

"Who dares to revolt against us?!"

A thick and proud voice reverberated throughout the whole Dark World Zone. He probably thought that it\'s just a few Noxian ants trying to escape from punishment.

He already scanned us and surely found out that there are two Noxians stealing the mined Elemental Stones.

As soon as I left the room, I saw the owner of the voice hovering above the hole as he looked down on me with his arms crossed.

Clearly, he\'s a Transcendent who most likely already started to thread his own Pathway. Compared to the average height of humans, the guy is at least two meters tall and his race or tribe is someone I\'m seeing for the first time.

He has a bulky build one would often see on those bodybuilders who prioritize their muscle development to be like that. He\'s wearing something like a cowhide with black and white patterns sewed to become a cloak but the most striking trait of his is his horns. Not a devil horn which was often depicted in fiction but bull-like horns which protruded from both sides of his head, just a little bit above his ears.

"Excuse me. We\'re not trying to revolt here, alright? We\'re just stealing from this storehouse. Can you turn a blind eye on this?"

I responded and like I expected, thick veins appeared on his forehead as anger instantly flooded him.

His Transcendent Aura once again washed over but this time, it solely focused on me as it tried to pressure me into kneeling.

However, his Aura is not enough to do that. I\'m not even being pressured.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Thirty seconds.

After a minute of trying to make me kneel through focusing his Transcendent Aura on me, the horned-guy floating dumbly above finally managed to realize now that his Aura\'s pressure is not working.

His crossed arms loosened as a rusted greataxe appeared from his hand, instantly filling it with his Dark Energy.

With its rusted appearance, one would think it is of poor quality but only someone like us would be able to see its uniqueness. It\'s even higher in quality than the greatsword of that Dark Soldier Transcendent.

Now that I think of it. Avelin needs a new weapon. I thought of having those from the World of Meta forge her one using Regenium but this one might be better than that.

"Who are you?! Why did those winged bastards in the Central Area not mention they have more people at their level?!"

The horned-guy questioned as he started to prepare for his attack. At this moment, more Dark World denizens appeared surrounding the area. However, those guys were negligible. They\'re not enough to become a threat.

"Who knows what they\'re thinking? Why don\'t you ask them?"

Since Jayna\'s disguise is already a Transcendent Rank, even this guy couldn\'t see through it. He probably thought that I\'m just an unnamed Noxian who\'s strong enough to resist his pressure.

"Bastard! You! Attack first, questions later!"

He raged before commanding those Mortal Ranks that was surrounding the area.

Heeding his command, they all took out their weapons or started activating some skills.

One by one, they charged towards me. However, before they could even reach the 10-meter mark before me, I pointed my finger on the fastest one and cast a 3-nodes Elemental Spell.

Darkness Bullet!

It\'s an upgraded Air Bullet of Darkness Element. I\'m posing as a Noxian to feed his misconception so… let\'s play the part well.

The spell traveled unhindered and hit the incoming Dark World denizen right on his forehead.

Before he could be aware of what happened, he fell down on the ground.

But yeah, that\'s just one of many. After hitting that one, my finger pointed to another one and another Darkness Bullet was shot.

Now I feel like I\'m in an action movie as I started to shoot down each and every goon of the villain whose only purpose is to show that the protagonist is that strong before fighting the villain.

"Useless! That\'s just one lower world ant!"

As more bodies dropped to the ground. The horned-guy gritted his teeth and swooped down with his greataxe slashing downwards creating a crescent energy projectile while shouting those words

Before that crescent attack which was ejected from his weapon reached me, I flapped my fake wings and flew backwards to dodge him before shooting another Darkness Bullet towards him.

Lower world ant, huh? Too bad for those Noxians but this is what these guys think about them. They\'re just an ant that they could exploit.

The horned guy lifted his greataxe, blocking the Darkness Bullet.

However, as he didn\'t expect the force from it, his feet skid on the ground as he tried to resist it.

"Sorry, not your turn yet."

I said before ignoring him as I flew higher to target more of the incoming Dark World denizens using only Darkness Bullets.

It feels like I came back from that first battle where all I had was Air Bullet and Flash Steps.

At this moment, the matter of the storehouse already slipped their minds, giving Jayna the necessary time to finish there.

As the horned guy once again prepared to attack me, he was suddenly alerted as he turned around only to see numerous red vines rushing towards his direction.

He brandished his greataxe to cut them but the vines, seemingly sentient dodged it and circled around his body, restricting him completely.

But it didn\'t end with just that. A few seconds later, the vines started to glow and ignited in flames, engulfing him in it.
