The Ultimate Support Character

Chapter 357 The Result

When Irja's overwhelming energy-based combination attack with her four Lesser Spirits subsided, a huge crater could be seen made in place of the three Gigant Transcendents.

Although that's not enough to kill them, it's easy to see the mess that they have become.

Inside that crater, apart from the leader who's still standing albeit having ruptured wounds from all around his body, the other two with him were not in as good of a condition as him.

They were lying behind him with broken bones jutting out from their elbows. Aside from that, there were large tears in various parts of their body where their blood kept on dripping out, making a pool of blood beneath them.

They're still breathing. However, they were already in their labored breaths, if they were not tended within the next 2 minutes, they would die from blood loss.

I could see them trying to circulate their energy but most of it seeps out of the tears in their body becoming freed energy that rejoins the natural energy in the surroundings.

The small amount that they could manage to use was only enough to relieve some of their pain, which prevented them from screaming in pain.

"… I didn't know it would be that strong."

Part stuttering, Irja took a step back with her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Don't stop! Finish them if you can or let the ones behind you do it for you!" I reminded them in a rather loud voice.

If she couldn't continue this momentum, it would be a waste.

Yatapa whose purpose was to destroy the Core was the only one who continued moving despite seeing that spectacle.

The other three also stopped as they were amazed at how strong Irja had become.

Upon hearing my voice, Irja glanced behind first before inhaling and exhaling to recollect herself.

"Udann, Axter, Insa. Clear the way for Yatapa." I added.

Irja didn't need any more instruction so I just gave her a side glance before continuing my steps.

The other Gigant World Transcendents close by who saw what happened gritted their teeth as they all broke out from the lock of Monday and Rodney's groups to defend their core.

Although numerous formations were being triggered, everything was minor inconveniences.

From my observation, the Formations exist and are being used in Transcendent Worlds. However, their knowledge and the strength of their Formations are not that great yet.

Among the Mortal Worlds, perhaps only worlds with Elemental-type of Source Energy can develop the most primitive formations which are derived from their Pathways.

Going by that information, perhaps only the Elemental-type of Transcendent World will be able to utilize the power of Formations the most.

"Defend our Core!"

With a hint of desperateness, I noticed how every Gigant World Transcendent was trying to drive their Energy Control to their limits, forgetting the strain that it might cause them.

Their original enlarged body parts grew bigger as they exuded frightening strength enough to flatten a Rank 1 Transcendent with a tap.

Unfortunately, that's their current limit. No matter what they do, those enhanced by my buffs could still hold their ground against them, only experiencing a slight difference in difficulty.

Before I completely left their vicinity and reached Rodney's group, Irja once again launched her attacks.

Instead of one big energy ball, she changed it into a rain shower which scattered Totem-enhanced energy-based attacks.

They could dodge at most 50% of it and endured the remaining 50% with their bodies.

Using that opening made by Irja, Udann, Axter and Insa engaged them in close combat and pulled them out of the way, allowing Yatapa to arrive in front of the Red Core.

"Rodney! Don't let them disturb Yatapa!" I shouted to Rodney's group who looked a bit battered due to the buff expiring earlier. Now that it was renewed, their eyes recovered their previous excited light as they traversed the distance between them and the four Gigant World Transcendents who all turned their backs to stop Yatapa.

Utilizing my role of a Mobile Buff Station, my feet turned towards Monady's location next.

Among everyone present on that battlefield, I'm the only one who could be seen circling the three battlefields without stopping.

Despite Yatapa's closer to Rank 3 Transcendent's strength, the Red Core was proven to be as hard as or harder than the Exalted-level Statue in the middle of the map.

Add to that, it was fully covered by Defensive Formations which either exploded on Yatapa or negated some of his damage.

However, without any interference, it's just a matter of time before it broke completely.

As cries, shouts and screams of desperation from the Gigant World Transcendents filled our ears, they started foregoing defenses in a bid to injure or hopefully kill at least one of us.

But with my continuous meddling, they were all thwarted and as a result, their injuries grew serious and large enough for some of them to be immobile.

There's no use pitying them so when I finished a circle, I estimated that I have at least a minute to do something else.

I utilized the last 50% of my total Energy Control to simultaneously cast the 6-nodes Void Elemental Spell: Curse on anyone I could see.

Apart from that, Energy Explosion Projectiles continued flying out of me and hitting all of them, repeating my previous strategy before.

CRACK!

5 minutes later, the first crack finally appeared on the Red Core.

10 minutes later, the crack already looked like spider webs crawling from across the Core's surface.

At the same time as that, the Gigant World Transcendent who continued their desperate attempt to stop us from breaking their Red Core has started to fall one by one, starting from the two who were hit by Irja earlier.

At this point, I also stopped moving and just focused my Energy Control to conjure an Energy Zone and replenish my nearly drained Energy Reserves.

There's no point going around anymore, in contrast to the rejoicing faces of Monady, Rodney and even Irja, the remaining Gigant World Transcendent all kneeled in despair.

Some called out the name of their parents, siblings, wives, husbands or children. Everyone has their own story. But in this kind of place, that's all irrelevant when all our lives were on the line.

Two minutes more, a loud cracking noise sounded. Everyone's eyes turned towards the source and saw the Red Core exploding into pieces as it scattered around Yatapa who's now slumping lazily on the ground.

"It's finished. I can finally emulate dying again."

Those were his last words before falling unconscious at the spot.

Being the only one who continually attacked the Red Core, he used up most of his Energy due to how hard it was.

Perhaps, it was supposed to be assaulted by a group of Rank 2 Transcendents but because of our strategy or ending this game even if there's still more than half of the enemies, we could only rely on him.

When that explosion of the Red Core happened, everyone stopped and just watched as overwhelming chaotic-looking energy exuded out from it, covering every Gigant World Transcendent completely, be it dead or alive.

Upon seeing that, everyone fell back and watched the process warily.

However, what came next was something that would probably be etched in everyone's mind.

The chaotic Energy that covered them churned and became a grinder that slowly dissolved all of them to dust, only leaving their storage rings and other possessions such as their fist and foot Output Enhancing Equipment.

[The Red Core has been destroyed. The Blue Team wins!]

[The creation of permanent Dimensional Bridge Part has failed]

[As a result, the mixture of Source Energy of this Space will now be divided among the surviving Blue Team members with half of it going will be converted and absorbed by the defending world's Source Energy]

As the darkness limiting our vision disappeared, the map floating above disappeared along with it which was then replaced by that series of text announcements.

Although we won, that image of being ground into nothingness left most of them speechless and unable to gather their wits even after the sound coming from above filled our ears.

"It's over, you can drop that now." I went and tapped Irja's arm that still had the Totem-turned-stick pointed in front of her where one of the Gigant World Transcendent disappeared along with that wisp of chaotic energy that covered the said Transcendent.

When she regained her wits I nodded at her before moving to the others to wake them up from whatever was running in their minds.

It might be shocking to them or they're just thinking that the same was going to happen to them if our Blue Core was destroyed instead. Either way, now that it ended, we're finally about to leave this space.

When Monady also woke up from her trance after another tap from me, she instantly shouted commanding everyone to gather every storage ring and Output Enhancing Equipment left behind by our enemies.

Soon after that, a Portal appeared in front of us. Even without us stepping into it, it moved by itself and transferred us somewhere else.

When the view in front of me changed, I found myself in the same square room when we got sucked inside the manor, minus the doors.

Aside from that, there's not only me and Udann. Everyone, even Grenol and the others with him at the Blue Core also reappeared in front of us.

"It's over!"

Breaking the silence, Monady shouted on the top of her lungs gathering everyone's attention.

"What are you guys being gloomy for? We won! We can finally relax! Come on, rejoice with me!"

Being urged by her, the others slowly started shouting one by one.

Upon seeing that, I could only shake my head as I found myself a place to sit on, waiting for the supposed reward and the door to leave this room.

At some point, Udann slumped next to me followed by Irja who handed the Totem back to me.
