Chapter 415: Operation Moonfall (4) (1/2)

”Uhm… Will they be fine there?” Lunaria asked through the opened communication channel which consisted of Daisuke's eight companions that were fighting alongside the Core Pilots of every Faction.

When Daisuke, Nysia and Erin's Metagens suddenly went out of their Metagen's radar after landing in the middle of the Moon Stronghold, they were suddenly besieged by at least 15 Transcendents, half of which weren't riding a Darkgen.

The 15 Transcendents led by one Rank 2 Transcendent came in strong as they swiftly targeted the Core Pilots bravely making a path for others, halting the advance of the United Alliance Forces.

Fortunately, before they could try to push back the Metagens cutting through their breached defenses, Yuko flew up high with her Specialized Metagen and held out her Metagen's saber up high.

By utilizing her Hero System, Yuko activated an exclusive skill that she often uses when fighting a large-scale battle.

Hero's Battlecry!

Instead of shouting herself, the regenium saber on her Metagen's hand shone even brighter than the sun that could be glimpsed at from the distance.

While it blinded even the Rank 2 Transcendent of the opposing forces, the light draped over every Metagen fighting on the battlefield, enhancing their prowess.

Although it's not as prominent as the Hero's Ultimate, Battlecry increased every affected ally's morale, clearing the negative thoughts in their mind.

With a clear mind, it gave them the ability to judge the situation clearly, preventing mistakes in their decisions.

If not for them riding a Metagen, they would've also made use of the bonus Strength and Endurance given by that skill. Nonetheless, just the increase in their morale was enough to totally dominate the field.

To add to that maximized morale, Yuko flew out of her Metagen to face that Rank 2 Transcendent with her true prowess, rubbing the fact that the Rank 2 Transcendent wasn't anything special even if she's the only Rank 2 among their side.

The result of their short bout was a one-sided beating. Yuko flawlessly dodged each and every attack of the Rank 2 Dark World Transcendent and accurately timed her counterattacks to hit her squarely where it would hurt.

Upon seeing that the Rank 2 Transcendent which gave them the hope to turn the tide was being toyed by Yuko, the morale of the Mortal Ranks lowered, resulting in another chance for the Core Pilots to push them back once more.

Because of that, one side of the Moon's stronghold was completely breached and destroyed as the remaining enemies retreated back to form another defensive line.

There were even others who already lost hope as they tried to ride their Darkgens outside the artificial gravitational influence they set up on the Moon.

Unfortunately, they're all jumping towards their immediate death. By doing that, they became easy targets for the Core Pilots when they couldn't navigate well in space.

The only reason they could go to and from the moon despite not being a Transcendent or not having Specialized Darkgens was because of what the Dark World denizens' set up when they first built their stronghold three years ago.

If not for that setup, it would be impossible for the Mortal Ranks below Rank 4 to walk on the moon, much less, breathe in it. And even for Rank 4 and Rank 5, they still found it hard to stay on the moon where there were no resources.

Enticing the Transcendents on the surface with the only thing they could offer, Dark Energy, allowed them to sustain themselves in this place.

”They will be! Daisuke… He planned to kill all of them in one shot.” Answering that inquiry was the excited Dannae who firmly believed that he could do that.

Apart from Daisuke, only Nysia, Yuko and Irja knew about the gun she charged for a whole month at his behest.

He actually planned to tell everyone about it. However, because he spent most of his time together with Irja and Yuko after coming back from the Anzeans' Mothership, he lost the chance to say it.

”Is that possible?” Avelin wondered.

Even though Daisuke already told her about the story of how he destroyed the Door of Transcendence more than once, the girl failed to recall the existence of the gun.

Not her fault since the girl only wanted to continue hearing Daisuke's voice and staying by his side. Ever since he appeared in that small tribe of hers, her life started revolving around him. Even she was unaware of that occurrence. For her, she was only following her head and heart. After remembering things from her past life, albeit fragments, her belief about her meeting with Daisuke and staying with him was preordained.

”I remembered… When he became a Transcendent, he said he used Dannae's gun and abilities to destroy the Door of Transcendence in one shot.”

”Oh! You're right. Dannae… you, you gave him your gun again?”

Elise and Leianne remembered that day he went back to the city after being a Transcendent. Daisuke mentioned to them about the gun which allowed him to easily pass through the Door of Transcendence.

”Yes! I charged it for a month. He said it's now as strong as a Rank 3 Transcendent's attack.”

Confirming their guess, Dannae broke the news to them while smiling silly.

She's still hung up at becoming his Companion and the time she spent with him where Daisuke held her dearly in his arms while showering her with his affection through his kisses.

She lived her life being discriminated against but that one meeting in the Scorched Forest changed her life. Not only has she found someone who's not judging her based on her appearance but also someone she's readily willing to spend the rest of her life with.
