Upon seeing my updated stats page, I could only continuously nod my head while having a truly satisfied smile. The jump from a Rank 5 Mortal to Rank 1 Transcendent was truly leagues ahead. The concept of not being able to be bested by any Mortal wasn't an exaggeration. If not for my incomplete Mortal Pathway, I would've been a lot more stronger than this.
The two new Halo Skills were Bedevilled Outburst which evolved from Energy Explosion and Bulwark of Invulnerability which evolved from Energy Shield.
Instead of being an offensive skill, the first one became an Aura. Even if there's an option to use it even without activating, given that I always wanted a quick end to my fights, going all out will always be my style. It can now also be used as projectiles. There's now an option to just stand behind and bombard them with Energy Explosions that can give them debuffs.
The second one became a zone like the Domain of Valor. By overlapping the two, I don't think I will still be needed in a battlefield which involves a huge number of allies and enemies. I can just chill out on the back while the two zones are activated. It's too overpowered for a Mortal World.
Out of all the Augmented Skills, only the Energy Slash is left. Even if I breakthrough to the 5th Stage, I will postpone creating my 5th Halo Skill. I needed the 5th Orb that could also enhance that skill. That Orb was surely waiting for me in the 5th world.
Err… and another Companion who's holding onto it. I just hope I won't be too late like what happened in that alternate reality...
Yuko, Zerina, Erin, Avelin, Jayna, Yumiko and Nysia. I'll make sure none of what happens in there happens in real life. I'm stronger now. With me as their Support, they wouldn't experience the same thing.
When I finished contemplating about the changes in me, I looked up and saw the Exit Portal above. It has manifested by itself after I completely absorbed the Source Energy given to me.
After becoming a Transcendent, I automatically gained the ability to fly even without reaching the 4th realm of the Mortal Pathway. It would be weird if I'm already a Transcendent but I still couldn't fly without the assistance of a Metagen.
As if it's natural, I flew up the opened portal and emerged from the Field of Transcendence.
Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of something exploding, the Door of Transcendence where I emerged from burst into a blinding light which immediately illuminated this area of the Scorched Forest.
”D-daisuke!”
From below, Dannae shouted after the blinding light subsided. She came out of the tree where she hid before I entered the Door of Transcendence
I'm not sure how long my Transcendence took but if she's still here then there's a possibility that no one really detected my Door of Transcendence.
I flew down and landed before her. There's a hint of worry in her eyes but upon seeing me land in front of her, it vanished and she sighed in relief.
”Why are you shouting? How long did I stay in there?”
It was night when the Door of Transcendence appeared and after emerging from it, the sky was still dark. One day?
”It's only been a day. But Daisuke, we have to leave now. An aircraft flew over one hour ago and hovered above that door. I'm afraid someone will come here.”
Dannae reported as she pointed above where the Door of Transcendence appeared.
An hour ago. That aircraft left and didn't attack it which could only mean that they recognized it. That it was a Door of Transcendence.
If I'm not wrong, a Transcendent might appear here soon or maybe a battalion of Metagen, Darkgen or even Pentacom. It depends on whose aircraft that was.
Because they were isolated in this forest, Dannae couldn't recognize which type of aircraft it was. Plus it's already good enough that she wasn't discovered.
”Take this and go back to the tribe. It will be bad if someone sees you here.”
I took out the compressed sphere which contained the standard Metagen inside the Necklace and handed it to her.
Dannae had a blank face when she received it. Maybe she thought that I would run away with her but if I did they would probably discover the tribe and the Special Environment existing here in this area. I have to lure them away.
”Don't just stare blankly. Go now. I'm already a Mythic-rank. Can you feel it?”
After saying that, I released the Transcendent Aura that I reeled in upon emerging from the Door. Dannae's knees gave up on her and she almost fell down on her butt if I didn't reach my hand to support her.
While clutching the compressed sphere on her hand, l Dannae nodded while trembling slightly from the pressure I was giving off.
”Y-you really succeeded...”
”Yes. So believe in me. I will pass by the tribe before going back to the city. That Metagen is yours now but remember what I told you before.”
”…Thank you. I remember. Take care out here.”
”When did you start worrying about me? They're the ones who needed to take care. I will lure them away from this forest so that you and the tribe won't be discovered, now go!”
After pushing her to go one last time, Dannae nodded and reluctantly turned around to leave. After entering the Metagen, she skillfully drove it away as if she was already an experienced Pilot.
”Now that she's out of the way. I have to greet the newcomers.” I whispered to myself.
My Adaptability already detected two Transcendent presence that was coming over. They're inside a Metagen so their presence was currently larger than me.
With the Purple Haze almost destroyed, I have no Metagen to use but that's fine. I'm fully prepared and already plotted my route of escape if things go awry.
And I doubt they would engage me in battle. They're probably here to see the new Transcendent which has just joined their ranks. They're too late to stop it after all.
I flew up and hovered above the Scorched Forest.
Two hulking figures of 20-meter Ultimate Metagen could be seen from a distance, one appearing from the north and the other from the northwest.
When the two Ultimate Metagens reached a certain distance they stopped and hovered in the air while menacingly staring at me who was calmly waiting for their arrival.
I recognized the two Ultimate Metagens. They're on the first page of the database after all.
”Imperial Guardian and Enthroned Prince, I presume?”
