The Ultimate Support Character

"Grandpa, look!" While riding the Specialized Metagen given by Leianne, Erin was like a child as she clunkily controlled it to fly and do something.

She\'s not Daisuke who adapted easily upon touching a Metagen. She\'s a literal newbie on piloting a Metagen.

Nonetheless, it\'s a bit easier for her to learn about it as a Transcendent. Her command input speed was superb and the flow of energy that was making the Metagen move was smooth. She only needed to properly organize her command inputs.

"Uhm… Miss Erin, careful, you might hit our allies." Kazeyoshi, inside his Crescent Hurricane, commented after watching how Erin\'s Metagen spun around while shooting the installed gun on its shoulder, destroying a hill and a ruined structure not far from her.

"I apologize for my granddaughter\'s behavior." On the other hand, Old Man Reol, although he\'s also a newbie, the way he controlled the Specialized Metagen given to him could be said as normal. It\'s flying normally and moving normally.

Although it looked stiff if seen by the other pilots, it\'s passable.

As they left the vicinity of the capital state of the Confederacy where the Portal device was installed, Kazeyoshi, along with a group of Archlight Pilots, led Erin and the Old Man to arrive at the Confederacy\'s Regenium mine.

Compared to the Empire and Eldur, the mine in this place was a bit farther from the capital. It took them five minutes of flying before the explosions and the sight of giant metal robots firing against each other could be seen from the horizon.

During those five minutes, Erin and Old Man Reol somehow familiarized themselves on how to pilot a Metagen.

Mixing in with the Archlights\' Specialized Metagens, it would be hard for the enemy Transcendents to notice that the Pilots were two Transcendents.

Kazeyoshi\'s Crescent Hurricane was already an Ultimate Metagen. After becoming a Transcendent, Nysia ordered the Researchers to upgrade it, along with Amry\'s Crimson Valkyrie and Matthew\'s Silent Behemoth.

"We\'re here! We\'ll go and help the Matriarch. The rest of you, follow the Moonlight Queen\'s Sapphire Moonflower.

"Understood!"

Despite being an idiot, Kazeyoshi was still a soldier for three years and the number of times he led a squad was more than the number of a human\'s fingers.

In any case, as a Transcendent and a Hero, he had the necessary authority to even contest the Matriarch for leadership.

The previous Confederacy Leader and all his allies were all either executed or fled from their territory. With the purging of the Order of the Dark Host led by Elise\'s Order of the Light\'s Cradle, it didn\'t take long for them to rid the three Factions of the publicly known dissenters.

Arriving at the scene, the Matriarch Lyra, using her Metagen, Moonlit Nightmother, was currently engaged against three Transcendents. Her ability which was making use of the dark night sky was somewhat ineffective during the day. However, with her Domain and some of her Skills, she created a patch of night up above covering the crimson dusk sky to enhance her ability.

She couldn\'t wait until the sun totally sets or rather, her enemies wouldn\'t let her.

With their objective of occupying the Regenium mine, the Dark World Transcendents poured all their troops to launch simultaneous attacks to all three Regenium Mines, hoping to split the United Alliance\'s small number of Transcendents.

Even if one or two of them was repelled, they gambled that at least one would be victorious.

However, the appearance of Daisuke and his group totally subverted their plan.

At the moment, the Ultimate Darkgens sent down at Confederacy\'s Mine didn\'t have any idea that they\'re bound to fail today.

"Give up, Matriarch. As a Transcendent, you still have a choice to join us. You will not be treated wrong."

Unaware of the incoming reinforcements, one of the Dark World Transcendent haughtily offered.

However, the Matriarch who\'s already aware of the reinforcement smirked and mocked him.

"Who would join you? Don\'t you think you already repeated your offer many times over?"

After saying that, the wings of her Metagen spread open and her surroundings darkened. Activating another ability of hers, Matriarch Lyra rushed forward with a regenium sword in her hand.

Upon seeing that, the Ultimate Darkgen stood still spreading his Domain opened followed by a set of skills from his Pathway.

He\'s confident enough to defend against the already battered Metagen.

However, because he\'s too focused on the Matriarch, he didn\'t notice that the patch of darkness created by the Matriarch blocked his view of the incoming Crescent Hurricane.

Utilizing his Aerokinesis, Kazeyoshi zoomed past through numerous standard Darkgen and Specialized Darkgen. Like a speedster in those comics, he made use of his ability\'s control of the wind.

In less than five seconds, he\'s already behind the Matriarch, aiming another attack to the confident Ultimate Darkgen.

"Hey! Dodge!" Noticing the sudden appearance of the Crescent Hurricane, one of the Ultimate Darkgens\' pilots shouted to the guy targeted by Kazeyoshi and Lyra.

But he\'s all too late.

Riding the wind controlled by Kazeyoshi, Erin and Old Man Reol, clumsily piloting their Specialized Metagen, marked the other two Ultimate Metagens to prevent them from helping.

Erin used one of her Jewel Skills that conjured shadow clones. With the Jewel Skill\'s effect, she effectively concealed herself and her clones, confusing the Ultimate Darkgen.

When Erin got the chance of seeing her target\'s visible shadow when the light from Kazeyoshi\'s skill illuminated him, she instantly teleported behind the Ultimate Darkgen. Using the weapon of the Specialized Metagen, she stabbed through the back of the Ultimate Darkgen before kicking it down.

On the other side, Old Man Reol activated his Empire, sending his four Pillar Guardians to his targeted Ultimate Darkgen to create an encirclement where his authority as an Emperor would be exercised.

Of course, it\'s just an iteration of a Domain Skill. To counter that, the Ultimate Darkgen also opened his Domain and started spinning to prepare a counterattack.

With the grandfather-granddaughter duo restraining the two to help the confident Dark World Transcendent, Lyra and Kazeyoshi carried their joint attack unhindered.

"Die!" Matriarch Lyra shouted as she inched to the side, letting Kazeyoshi sped past her.

Too late to be surprised by the sudden appearance of another Ultimate Metagen, the Dark World Transcendent tried to move his Skills in order to block Kazeyoshi\'s attack.

However, it\'s still too late.

Barraged by two Ultimate Metagens the Darkgen instantly plummeted down.

Following him, Kazeyoshi made use of his Aerokinesis to send wind blades that were compressed enough to make it appear as if they\'re huge sharp blades aiming to decapitate his target.

After being reminded by Daisuke back then, he started exploring what he can and he can\'t do with his Ability. And now, he\'s trying to pour in everything he managed to unearth against a Transcendent.

A short while later, the cockpit of the Ultimate Darkgen burst open as the ejection device managed to activate before Kazeyoshi\'s winds hit it.

Unfortunately, what\'s waiting for him was Erin who became free after sending her target down below.

Catching the Transcendent with the arm of her Specialized Metagen, she inputted the commands to pinch the Transcendent to death.

He still tried to struggle by making use of his Dark Energy to create a durable barrier, however, with Erin making use of all of her Jewel Skills like the one which conjured shadow blades, the Energy Barrier broke into pieces.

After a few desperate struggles, the Dark World Transcendent was successfully pinched to death by her.

"Great!" The Matriarch cheered inside her Metagen. She\'s truly happy because if Erin and the others didn\'t arrive, she would be the one dying.

Tossing the lifeless Transcendent or of what\'s left of him down to the ground, Erin floated upwards to rejoin them.

At this moment, the other Ultimate Darkgens started to back away.

"Did he get pinched to death by a Specialized Metagen?" the one who flew up after being stabbed and kicked down by Erin muttered.

"The Pilot is a Transcendent! Those two in the Specialized Metagens are Transcendents!" And the one who managed to break away from Old Man Reol\'s Empire shouted hysterically.

"What do we do?"

"… They only send the three of us here. What do you think? Damn it. They said no one will be able to help here. Where do these Transcendents come from?"

"Open your communication channel."

"Huh? What the hell? The other two failed as well?"

Hearing about the failure and the loss of three Transcendents because of the appearance of unknown Transcendents, the one overseeing the operation sent an order to retreat.

However, before that order arrived, they already lost a Transcendent here.

"The situation is strange, they want us to go back."

"What else can we do? Retreat! Let them retreat as well!" Pointing at their Specialized and standard Darkgens that were still having the upper hand, he gritted his teeth to call for a retreat.

Thanks to that retreat order, the battered Sapphire Moonflower of Lunaria was saved from becoming a total scrap.

Even with her abilities as a Legend-rank Pilot, she couldn\'t fight against 15 Specialized Darkgens all at once. She couldn\'t counterattack at all and could only put up a tough defense that none of her 15 opponents could breach. In exchange for that, however, was the serious damage on her previously beautifully crafted Specialized Metagen.

Compared to the other two battlefields, the number of Specialized Darkgens here was more than the combined amount on the other two. Due to that, even with the assistance of half of the Aegis Battalion, they were all ganged upon. Losing at least a fourth of their numbers.

Because of what Daisuke planned, Erin let the two go but the four of them pretended to chase after them, destroying some of the standard and Specialized Darkgens lagging behind.

When the enemies completely disappeared from their sight, Erin used the communication crystal to contact her man and relay the result. "Monster, it\'s done."
