Chapter 493: Fighting a Rank 3 Transcendent (1/2)

A Rank 3 Transcendent who was more or less 900 UPL against me who could barely reach the upper reach 650 UPL even after all my buffs.

This kind of match-up was naturally imbalanced. In the wide Universe or to those places I'd managed to reach, it was one in which an almost infinite number of living beings in every world could bridge the gap and emerge victoriously.

However, in this desolate World Zone and with a Sage World that was still considered not fully awakened, one already made that impossible feat and another one was also on its way.

”Impossible!” Longi shouted after seeing me not being affected by his repulsion force from his ability.

No one, even Yumiko, managed to withstand it easily.

However, for me, it's just a matter of understanding how his ability works.

My Companions were watching me so… I wanted to show off to them.

Understanding the underlying properties of his Magnetic Field, I just needed to somewhat mimic what he could do with the use of my overwhelming control.

It was basic science that even this modern Earth understood. The same poles of a magnet would result in repulsion and different poles would result in attraction.

By working around that common knowledge, instead of being repulsed by his Geomagnetic Field, I was pulled towards him instead, saving me the effort to force my way through.

As five of my clones and four Pillar Guardians appeared alongside me, Longi weaved his Energy to reinforce his control of his Magnetic Field.

When I saw that, I instantly shot a compressed Nullification Bullet to the middle of his chest resulting in a lapse in the activation of his Ability.

”Nothing is impossible,” I answered him alongside the Willful Sword stabbing through his shoulder.

As his blood trickled out from the wound, Energy Explosions and the corrosion from the Dark property of the Willful Sword ensued.

Amidst the pain he was feeling, Longi compressed the Domain he activated to only protect his immediate vicinity. No longer was he trying to contest my five-stacked Domains supported by the Bulwark of Invulnerability and Sanctuary of Protection.

He learned the hard way that… despite being from someone weaker than him, all my Domains were complementing one another. His Rank 3 Transcendent Domain that was on the verge of becoming something like Remilia's Graveyard of Blades Domain couldn't break open it.

Naturally, it was only possible now that I progressed to more than half of the 5th realm of my Mortal Pathway.

If this was before when we were fighting them more than two weeks ago then I would immediately lose.

In my memories, I have fought different Sage Realm experts who had already completely merged, if not all then most of the other Pathway properties to their main Pathway.

And among those experts, I had my fair share of victory and defeat.

My Energy Control back then wasn't as strong as today or wasn't as overpowered as today because of what I did to my original Energy Control as a Divine Stage. I was completely relying on my main Pathway and through those experiences I accumulated, as long as I reached the prerequisite UPL or information about an opponent, I could either defeat them or bore them to death because they wouldn't be able to kill me even with the gap in UPL.

As for what's happening this time, I had the means to thoroughly defeat this Rank 3 Transcendent that my Companions had a hard time defeating.

”What's wrong? Are you done trying to control me through your Ability? Come on, show me the supplementary Pathway you're merging with your Psyche-type Pathway.”

I waved the bloodied Willful Sword and sent a crescent Energy Slash towards his direction.

While trying to stop the bleeding from his almost destroyed shoulder, Longi gritted his teeth and heeded what I said.

From behind him, he once again gathered a metallic structure. However, unlike when he used it to block Reinys' two gigantic fireballs, the structure was compressed to the point that it became a set of armor and a longsword.

The armor instantly covered Longi's body and the sword gripped tightly on his hand.

With his fight with Yumiko, he failed to use this or he didn't have the chance to do so. Yumiko never left his side to muster something that could turn the situation in his favor after all.

Upon seeing that, my four Pillar Guardians excitedly lunged towards him.

Lith with her speedy visage as she traversed the distance while leaving behind a trail of fire to stab through his new armor.

Kael with his brute force that charged towards Longi like a bull to red cloth.

Lan with her spear so sharp that it could probably pierce through the toughest steel sending a flurry of spear attacks to the long-nosed Transcendent.
