Chapter 226: Returning to the City (1/2)

After around 10 minutes of freely flying in the sky, the Aura of Concealment wore off, startling the wildlife at the area we passed through because of the sudden appearance of the colossal Metal Giant.

Instead of turning towards the direction of the Human Race territory, I steered to a random direction to lose whoever would think of following us by choosing that direction. It's not as wise, but if there's only the two Transcendents, even if they arrived at the Human Race territory, they wouldn't be able to break through it.

Also, the Elementals' Territory was further behind that it would need them to travel for a day to reach it. Even if they have a teleportation spell that would bring them near it, their forest is also being protected by a Defensive Formation. However, Fleur really needed to be there if ever they chose to attack it. Without her support that Defensive Formation will not hold too long against two Transcendents.

We're around 30 minutes away from the Noxian Capital in terms of a Transcendent's basic speed. That's why when I found a clearing and a river near it, I landed the All-black Metagen, Black Mist, next to it.

Fleur seemed to be wondering about something during our flight that she already stopped admiring the interior and the mechanics of the Metagen.

When we disembarked after landing, she finally opened her mouth to tell me about it.

”Daisuke, you can fight the two of them alone. Using that… staff. Your clones were as strong as a Transcendent.”

I see. So that's it. She saw how strong the clones were. No wonder she would wonder about that.

I could really fight them. However, I was not confident at killing them within a short time, despite having the unusually large 'staff' in the form of the Totem to greatly enhance my skills and abilities.

Call it as me being too cautious, but yeah, only when I'm entirely sure that I could kill them would I risk it and go all out.

I'd rather pick on the Rank 5 Mortals to nip the threat in the bud and have the Heroes and the others benefiting from my buffs to kill those at the same level as us.

”Yes. But we were in their territory. We can't be sure that there's only those two considering they secluded themselves that even the World's Will now has no idea about their current state.”

”I never thought of that possibility…”

Because you're not an overthinker like me…

”It's fine. This is just me overthinking things and being too cautious. What I think has the possibility to be wrong, so I'll be relying on you to correct me and clear my mind if that happens.”

”I understand. I'm starting to think you are too perfect. I guess I'm wrong.”

”I'm far from being perfect. I need people like you to be around me, to fully utilize what I can do.”

Once my Companions began to travel with me, only then will we be somewhat perfect.

I have two Heroes; Yuko and Yumiko. Four Orb Holders or Main Characters of their World, Zerina, Avelin, Jayna and Nysia. And lastly, a talented Genius who can keep up to their cheats, Erin.

They all have unique abilities that can make up for the shortcomings of one another. Add to that all my support skills, they'll be more than invincible.

It's not just them who wanted to stay by my side. I also wanted to keep them close to me.

The call with Erin and Avelin last night, as well as the more than a day's worth of memories with Nysia, brought back by the Support Incarnation wasn't enough.

As soon as we find a chance, we'll start closing down portals to bring peace in these Mortal Worlds.

Yuko and Yumiko have started to cleanse their world of the Dark World denizens after they became a Transcendent to take advantage of being the sole Transcendent in their Otherworld but even after a week, the Dark World denizens have been proven to be sly foxes as they immediately covered most of their tracks to hide the main portal they were using.

That extremely frustrated the two Heroes as well as the other two with them, so I decided that after the cooldown of the Support Incarnation, I'll join one of them to hunt for the portal.

”Un. I kind of understand now why you call yourself a Support.”

Fleur nodded. My words somehow managed to clear up what was in her mind.

As I see it. She's already considering what I told her, but yeah, that doesn't mean she's falling for me. She's trying to understand me at the same time as weighing the benefit that she will possibly get from me.

If it's like this, the chance of her becoming one of my companions is low.

I'm interested in her, but as of now, Fleur is only curious in me.
