Chapter 230: Fleurs Transcendent Pathway (1/2)

To answer this bravery they just showed as they charged towards me, my foot ejected me from the ground to meet the three Elemental Fusing Realm elites head-on with the Willful Sword in hand.

If this could push them to Transcendence then I would also give it my all. More Transcendents are equal to less work for me after all. I'm more than happy to push them further and if that happens they can then save this world by themselves.

It's pretty to be this optimistic, eh?

”Please take this!”

Isabel shouted as being the one who was on the lead, the staff she was using grew out to a fork-like weapon. A trident. It shined in blue light as a 5-nodes Spell was unleashed and covered her trident giving it a more watery feeling as it fluidly aimed at me.

Clang!

The Willful Sword that was too excited met it and the lightning dragon which it absorbed before materialized from its tip. It roared menacingly before diving towards Isabel's trident and bit at its body. As the force of a Transcendent was transferred to her, Isabel was flung backwards.

Following behind her was Armel, clad in his earthen armor which seemingly made him appear like a golem. The huge blade in his hands shined in orange light as he also activated Spell which complemented his fighting style.

However, just like with Isabel, the Willful Sword in my hand met it and didn't even budge. Comparing our current Strength stat, mine is approaching the double of his estimated Strength. Just that, thanks to all his Spells which enhanced his physical capabilities, he wasn't flung backwards from the recoil like Isabel, instead, his earthen armor broke into pieces which resulted in him kneeling in front of me.

Lastly, Elmer, even with his aged body flaunted his muscular form beneath his clothes. The staff he was using to cast his spells split in half.

He grabbed the two halves of his staff on his hands, becoming a dual wielder.

As his wind-enhanced short sticks came bashing at my head, the Willful Sword met them and once again let loose of the lightning dragon.

However, unlike the other two, the old man persisted longer as he tried to display his amazing combat style which fully utilizes his short sticks.

Unfortunately for him, I now have a Transcendent Body and a much higher Endurance stat so even if I let him hit me, at best, my clothes will be ripped open.

Anyway, I only noticed now but…

Are they actually experts at closed combat?

Was their feeble appearance earlier just them relying on the strength of their spells? When it comes to a real battle, will they not hesitate to pit their bodies against their enemies?

Why didn't they show it when they're training with my clones?

Ah. Maybe it's because they're always filled with Elemental Energy. Now that they're almost drained of it from trying to fight me with their strongest spells, they could only rely on their close combat skills and lower node spells which could enhance them.

Either way, this is good too. I found another point where I could train them.

And turn them into another backstabber and sneak attackers. They'll be an extension of the Aegis Battalion who were now adept at doing that by learning from me.

The three continued to get up until they finally got drained to the point of losing consciousness. When that happened, I had them put to the side before reforming the Energy Zone which I took down earlier.

Bathing them in it and throwing them both Physique and Spirit Boosts, the three instantly made a recovery.

The siblings Almira and Mara's turn also produced the same results as the three. The two of them had good coordination with their Fire and Wind Elements that it was possibly much better for them to always fight in pairs rather than one-on-one. I didn't use the Clones on them and faced them alone. But yeah, the two weren't any stronger than the first three so the result was inevitable.

Boris and Hikari, on the other hand, after they called upon the Door of Transcendence, I had them enter the Virtual Space to undergo another set of training which would involve putting them in a Transcendent Fight.

Even though they're not a Transcendent yet, by raising their stats to match a Transcendent inside the Virtual Space, they could hold their ground against one.

That way, they will already have experience on that level that when the time comes where they will have to fight one, they would be able to react better.

”You worked hard. Here.”
