The Ultimate Support Character

"Go and report! Two Transcendents are blasting through the sky. Their destination seems to be the Noxian Capital."

One of the Dark World\'s scouts shouted to his companion as we passed through them. Though they were hidden by those trees, their words were loud enough for us to hear.

"I will deal with them."

Jayna stopped the miniature Spirit Ocean and absorbed it back into her body, leaving me hovering in the air.

"Huh?! Stop reporting! Just run!"

The scout shouted in terror when he saw Jayna flying down in their direction.

Before he could turn around to flee, a red flaming vine extended from Jayna which instantly wrapped around the scout pulling him up to the air.

His scream got stuck on his throat when another red vine filled with black thorns lashed at him. The vine then wrapped on his neck and with a tug, it constricted tightly on him.

The other scout who he shouted at earlier tried to run but upon seeing Jayna\'s swift movements, he realized that running from a Transcendent was impossible.

Hopeless, he kneeled there on the ground, waiting for his death.

"Do you want to live?"

Jayna asked when she landed in front of him. When the guy looked up, he was instantly mesmerized by her appearance, forgetting that he\'s in a life or death situation.

Well, Jayna became even sexier than the first time I saw her. Back then she still has that childish vibes but right now, she\'s like a fiery goddess looking down at her subjects.

Only around the enemies though, she\'s still the same Jayna when she\'s with me, curious and adorable.

"Y-yes! I want to live!"

The scout pleaded for his life.

"Report this to whoever is your superior. We went that way."

Jayna pointed in the northwestern direction. I don\'t know what she\'s doing, pointing in the real direction. However, it\'s also interesting to observe how she does things. I\'m not always with them so I only know what I can see and most of the time, they\'re waiting for my judgement. This time, I will let her do things her way.

"If we get pursued by your Transcendents, I will instantly know that you snitched on us. Whether you did it or you had someone did it for you, that didn\'t matter. We\'ll come for your head."

"Y-yes understood. I swear upon my—"

"Don\'t swear. Just keep my words drilled on your mind if you don\'t want to end up worse than him."

Ending her words like that, the man nodded continuously before nervously staggered away from the location.

Before Jayna flew back to me, a pink-colored vine was conjured from her, it spiraled in front before a blast of energy ejected from it and hit the scout at a distance.

It wasn\'t noticed by him and a few moments later, he fell down, unconscious.

Upon seeing that, Jayna nodded and flew back to me while riding the miniature Spirit Ocean.

"What do you think, Daisuke?"

"Impressive. That pink vine… what is its effect on him?"

"It will alter some of his memories temporarily. Instead of seeing us, he will remember that who he encountered was a mysterious entity."

"Isn\'t it better if you killed him?"

"Un. But this way, he will be providing them wrong intel. He will think that the direction I\'ve given him was false so he will report the opposite direction."

"I see. Looks like your vines are now different than how I remembered it."

She had five variations of it before which helped me kill the 4-leaf Dark Elf after sabotaging their Breach Widening project. Now she probably has more types of it and most will produce a supporting effect.

"It\'s your fault for leaving my side. I have created more variations that can help you in combat."

"Somehow, I feel like our roles will be reversed again. You\'ll be the Support and I\'m the Supported."

"That\'s how it is between us. I\'m also not suitable for direct confrontation after all. And this way, I can see my Spirit Pair\'s hard-working back."

Jayna giggled before snuggling to my chest. She already set the miniature Spirit Ocean\'s direction so... she\'s taking it easy now.

Spirit Pair, huh? At least none of them mentioned the wedding yet. Though they were hyped up when Nysia and I announced it, it soon left their minds. Being together like this is already enough for this girl at the moment.

Six hours later we\'re still not halfway to the location of the Dark World Zone which we\'re supposed to attack.

We already veered off from the path towards the Noxian Capital. The scouts we encountered have also become less and less. At times, we will kill those to avoid any trouble but there\'s also who got the same fate as the first one.

Since it\'s exhausting to keep her Spirit Ocean open, I had her in my arms most of the time to replenish her now Flux Energy through the use of Spirit and Physique Boost.

At first, she was as unfamiliar to the Elemental Pathway as she is to the Flux Energy. Due to the \'limited\' state of it, she couldn\'t do what I could to the Elemental Energy. She could only either turn it to Earth or Fire Element. And the same could be said to Yumiko. Although she\'s going to have each of the Natural and Special Elements, the Flux Energy couldn\'t freely change into any Element. Wind Energy is the easiest for her to conjure and the other four Elements of her Secondary Cores were slower than it. That\'s why instead of focusing on multiple Elements, she picked those whose base Element is Wind. That\'s according to what Jayna said.

"Let\'s stop here for now."

I said to Jayna who nodded immediately. She promptly stopped the miniature Spirit Ocean and we descended to the ground.

We\'re still inside the former Human Race territory. Now that I\'m traveling without Teleportation from Fleur, this world was proven to be bigger than I imagined. A Teleportation Spell is something major so it needed nodes higher than nine which means only those at the 5th realm or Elemental Fusing Realm could learn and use it. It\'s a convenient Spell, true, but there\'s a lot of limitations to it. Just like with Fleur. She needed to connect to a body of water. The Teleportation Spell of the Grand Magus who died during Hikari\'s mission back then only has a limited distance.

But yeah, if I reached the necessary realm, I will learn one or just create one. Even if there\'s a limitation, it will surely ease up the long journeys from one place to another.

"That ruin and the ruins we passed reminded me of the former territories of the Spiritas."

Jayna muttered softly as she looked at a distant ruin of a city, not far from where we descended.

​ Like in Serenia, there\'s a huge structure in the middle that was most likely the former Academy of that city.

The World\'s Will hasn\'t sent her new findings yet so I thought of letting Jayna rest for a while. It\'s still taxing for her even if I boost her continuously after all. Also, it\'s to shake off if ever someone is tailing us.

The place I picked is a hilltop with overgrown trees which could hide us from view. There were wild beasts and animals in the area but they all got scared off because of our Transcendent Aura. Automatically clearing the place just for us.

We left Aves before noon so the sun is already about to set.

From what she just muttered, there\'s probably some homesickness that she\'s currently feeling right now. She left the world familiar to her as well as her parents who doted on her despite the pranks she always pulled even to them.

Seeing her like that, I thought of easing up her worry. I hugged her from behind and responded to what she said.

"Every world I traveled to had the same scenery. Perhaps even Earth will become full of ruins in the future. To make a home for us after these battles we have to face, there\'s no other choice but to move forward and expel these foreign invaders."

"Un. And I\'m glad I can join you on this journey. Not only I can encounter a lot of new things, but I can also stay like this with you."

Jayna said with a smile, she took her gaze away from the ruins and turned it to me.

"Father couldn\'t bear to see me leave with Yumiko so I told them that I will be back there with you and when we do, they will be seeing their daughter being wed to her Spirit Pair."

"I thought you all forgot about the wedding."

"How can I? If you didn\'t leave with Yumiko after we finished closing the breaches back then, I would\'ve asked you for it. Regrettably, Sister Nysia beat me to it."

Jayna lifted her arm and slid it to the back of my neck, pulling my head down to level it on hers. Compared to when she asked for a kiss before wherein she just thought of copying Yumiko, she\'s now more assertive like this.

"You all don\'t have to compete with each other. You\'re all equally important to me. More important than these worlds. I will not shy away if you ask for it."

After saying that, I planted my lips on hers which she gladly received.

"You won\'t be able to stop that, you know? A little competition between us will let us bond more. Just like that spar between us."

Jayna smirked before turning around to completely encircle her arms around me. After that, her lips sought mine once more.

I guess this can also be called resting, huh?

Before we turned it to a more heated scene, I secured the place by placing a barrier on the area through the use of my Energy Control.
