The Ultimate Support Character

"Another one… Is your race betraying us?"

The horned guy furiously asked when he managed to escape the flaming vines\' grasp and saw who cast it on him. Though there\'s not a trace of Darkness Element in Jayna\'s vines, it already slipped past his mind due to the current predicament he\'s facing against us and also the fury that\'s starting to cloud his judgement.

As he retreated to open a distance between us, the horned guy activated his Domain which successfully restricted us slightly.

His Domain isn\'t anything special as it only has the effect of slowing down those affected by it and opposite to that, his speed was being enhanced.

"Maybe? What will you do about it? Report us? It\'s not like you can contact those from outside. We only need to silence everyone here and no one will know."

I responded in place of Jayna at the same time as I activated the Nullification Zone, reducing the effects of his Domain on me.

"Should I catch him again?"

Jayna used telepathy to ask me.

After lighting the horned guy in flames, she stood still in her position. Like she said, she wanted to be my Support this time as I faced the enemy head-on.

There are still the traps on the location of the three devices so I can\'t tell her to go ahead and destroy it by herself. We\'ll do it together later.

She\'s already a Transcendent. Her vines also got a power-up but even so, it\'s truly not enough to kill those at the same level as her. Unless they voluntarily receive her Earthfire in its entirety, the most she could do is seriously injure them. But that\'s the case only when I\'m not with her.

The buff from the Domain of Valor is enough for her to thrash this horned guy. But I thought of something better.

"Yes."

With my short reply like that, it wasn\'t noticed by the horned guy.

Jayna nodded as she stepped back before flying towards me with her fake wings flapping as well.

After that, she stood behind me. Her red vines extended themselves to create an area where the Mortal Ranks wouldn\'t be able to pass.

"P-preposterous notion! I can clearly contact them! Just wait and watch us massacre your race!"

The horned guy replied to my taunt and that made the surrounding Noxians who were watching the commotion from a distance and those who reported about the incapacitated mine tremble in fear.

They\'re innocent, of course, but they also didn\'t know that.

"Massacre, huh? What do you guys think? Will you just stay and let yourselves be killed? Will you just let your lives be decided by their level of anger?"

I turned my gaze to the scared Noxians and smirked. Riling up these guys will be beneficial to us and well… They\'re also going to die so it\'s better to use them for what they are, expendables.

"Don\'t listen to him and go back to your area!"

One of the guards who realized what I\'m trying to do instantly tried to usher the Noxian expendables back to their corresponding area of duty. However, he\'s too late.

"Y-you!"

Since he was focused on pushing them back, he didn\'t notice a shovel they distributed for the diggers to come smashing on his head.

Before he could point at the one who hit him, a hammer fell on his head. A hammer that they also distributed for the builders. After that, it became gruesome as shovels and hammers continued pummeling the Dark World guard. His blood instantly soaked the rocky lands as he lied there in less than 10 seconds, lifeless.

Someone then picked up the guard\'s weapon and raised it.

"We won\'t just die! Help our Unparalleled! Kill the guards!"

Probably stoked by the anger and humiliation that built up, only a few of them hesitated, namely the newcomers, before they started to revolt against the guards who kept commanding them.

When the Dark World guards started using skills and their weapons, the Noxians also started casting some spells to counter those even without Output Enhancing Equipment.

With the number of Noxians here, even if they\'re weaker than the guards, their number is around 10 times than theirs.

"These ants! Kill everyone! Don\'t leave anyone else!"

And with those words of the horned guy, those hesitating to join finally had their wick of hope die out. They flapped their wings and started assisting those at the front by their spells.

Good thing this horned guy doesn\'t have any managing skill and he\'s easy to be manipulated. Now, our job lessened. It\'s helping us that they\'re killing each other. Even if someone goes out and reports, it will be too late.

"Great! Don\'t falter! Kill them and free yourselves! We don\'t need to rely on someone from the higher world. This is our own World. Show them that we\'re not easily bullied just because that idiotic leader of our race wanted to become someone like them."

After adding more fuel to the fire, the fake wings at my hips flapped again as I closed the distance between me and the horned guy, with the Willful Sword in hand, I activated a Sword Skill.

Flash Draw!

Seeing my incoming figure suddenly vanish in a streak of blue and gold, the horned guy raised his greataxe to protect his body while a huge amount of Dark Energy covered himself like armor.

Clang!

With the sound of metal hitting metal rang out, my figure reappeared exactly in front of him. However, with the force of that Sword Skill, the horned guy was pushed back from the force, and the Dark Energy armor of his scattered to nothingness.

When he stabilized himself, he lifted his greataxe and threw it forward. It doesn\'t have the speed but the force from that throw was enough to disturb the space, creating a few cracks which also instantly mended.

As the spinning force of that throw reached my position. I already moved sideways to dodge, however, a part of my disguise was hit, revealing my true arm.

The horned guy saw that and promptly exclaimed.

"You\'re not a—"

However, he failed to finish that as Jayna\'s vines once again traversed the distance and constricted him. One of which went straight to his opened mouth silencing his next words.

"It\'s too late to notice it now, right?"

I smirked once more before delivering another attack. This time, I will be using that for the first time.

Halo Skill: Karmic Slash!

From the Willful Sword, a multicolored crescent slash was ejected as it slowly traveled the distance between me and the Dark World Transcendent.

With Jayna keeping him with her vines, even if he cut one, there\'s more vines waiting for him. And through those vines, Jayna started manipulating both her Spirit Ocean and the Elemental Energy she recently adapted to, grinding the horned guy in extreme pain.

As he continued writhing in pain, the Karmic Slash reached and touched him. At first, it didn\'t do anything to him. However, since the description said it has a delayed effect, it\'s to be expected.

A few seconds later, the unassuming multicolored Energy Slash started to change itself. As if it was sentient it went back and transformed into something. From a little crescent slash, it drew in more energy from the surroundings and changed into a multicolored raging bull with its sharp horns oddly protruded forward.

Looks like the 5% chance to realize what I wanted works, eh? Or he\'s just too unlucky?

Either way, the rainbow bull looked at the horned guy who was already panicking. It then snorted coldly as it started to charge towards him, its horns pointing at his body.

Stab!

A muffled scream of pain instantly rang out as the horns of the rainbow bull deeply penetrated his body. And with the force of its charge, the horned guy was even ejected from the vine constriction as his body was hurled down to the ground, his fate unknown.

There\'s no point waiting for him to use his most special attack nor his Transformation anymore. Killing someone efficiently like this is always better.

To make sure of it, I still went to the crater created from his fall. What lay there was the horned guy with a huge hole on his chest as his blood started to seep out of his mouth.

He\'s still alive. However, even if he kept trying to use his Dark Energy, the huge hole made by the rainbow bull wouldn\'t close.

"I apologize for your misfortune. Let me end your suffering, alright?"

After saying that, I stabbed the Willful Sword on his neck. And from there, the sentient sword started absorbing the Dark Energy he was exuding before it was dispersed.

I picked up his greataxe. Its properties instantly filled my head.

Like I thought, it will be a fitting weapon for Avelin. Too bad for him, he didn\'t manage to show me its full potential.

In any case, with the Transcendent dead, the revolting Noxians\' morale was boosted as they all continued their frenzy. There\'s no point riling them up anymore. It\'s beyond the point of reconciling when there\'s already a heap of corpses piled on the ground.

"Let\'s go and destroy this place."

I flew back to Jayna\'s side and picked her up. It\'s unnecessary. I know, I just wanted to do it.

"That skill is weird, Daisuke."

She said as she started repairing the part of the disguise while we\'re flying towards our next destination.

I know. It\'s supposed to be a Sword Slash but it transformed into a rainbow bull…

"Don\'t mind the details. I also find it weird."

With the riot ongoing, the area where the three devices were still guarded heavily, and with those traps in place, what we have to do is laid clearly.

Walk straight from the entrance of that area.
