The Ultimate Support Character

[Companion Ophelia has reached Transcendence]

[Received a Passive Skill from Rank 1 Transcendent Ophelia: Enhanced Weapon Proficiency]

[Enhanced Weapon Proficiency: A simple enhancement derived from Transcendent\'s ability which was shared to those connected to her. 20% enhanced proficiency acquisition to any Weapon Mastery.]

Around 30 minutes after Caila and Noelle emerged from their Door of Transcendence, I received another notification coming from the World of Barbarian.

As soon as I read it, I used Interdimensional Communication, connecting me to Ophelia.

When the screen lit up, I almost couldn\'t recognize her. If not for knowing that the Interdimensional Communication would only connect to my Companions, I would probably reflexively say \'Sorry. Wrong number!\'.

From what I remembered before we left the World of Barbarian four days ago, Ophelia\'s face, despite having the bearing of a beautiful lady, was a bit rough due to the scars she received from years of her battles as well as the slight wrinkles on the side of her eyes that she had gotten when she was turned as a slave for the Heavenly Lightning Tribe.

At this moment, the Ophelia who appeared in front of the screen was devoid of the small scars and wrinkles.

Her appearance regressed to the point that she could be compared to a woman in her 30s, at the same age as my Mom or for closer comparison, like Nysia, Fleur and Sofiel. Her hair also returned from having a grayish hue to lush brown hair.

There\'s the expectation of her looking younger than she was but not to the extent that every battle scar she received and the stress accumulated from her body would also become non-existent.

I guess that\'s the wonder of having her body rebuilt from a Mortal to a Transcendent. Every scar received as a mortal would be erased.

Thinking back, there\'s also that shoulder of Zerina that got pierced by that attack of the Corrupted Priest, her shoulder was now devoid of any traces of the wound, it\'s as smooth as every part of her body.

When Ophelia noticed me staring at her as if I\'m looking at a stranger, she coughed thrice to wake me up from the trance.

She then told me how flattered she was by how she got my attention like that or how heated my gaze was for her. She then followed it up with the same expression of gratitude that she would always do whenever she would meet me.

Even if I told her to drop that, she\'s still continuing at it. And having not spent any quality time with her, I couldn\'t reprimand her for it.

During the ten minutes of the call, Ophelia went on talking about how lucky she was to be assigned to my tent that day wherein her life that was going downhill with a clear end of remaining as a slave took a turn and went uphill from that day onward.

Before it ended, she once again bowed to me and promised that she would make the Great Whiteshade Tribe as one of the leading tribes in the Desolate Plains.

Well, excluding Raiden, she\'s the only Transcendent left in that world. That\'s a great enough headstart to the emerging tribes now that the Corrupted Barbarians and Dark Beastmasters were erased from existence.

I reminded her not to venture down that cliff and that, when the time comes, I will pick her up or I will be sending my Incarnation there to check on her.

In regards to my Incarnation, I received two days\' worth of memory from it yesterday.

When the cooldown ended after we arrived here, I sent my Incarnation to the world where I thought of using the Support Recall called World of Martial Arts. Judging from its name, it\'s a Physique-type World that focused on enhancing one\'s strength through Martial Arts.

Naturally, the Mortal Pathway there involved training one\'s Body. Moreover, it\'s a place where every skill was Physical Type. I failed to see anyone, attacking with only pure energy or channeling their energy outside their bodies to attack. Apparently, one\'s Energy until completing the Mortal Pathway would be contained inside one\'s Body.

But that didn\'t mean they couldn\'t control it. Instead, they\'re enhancing their Physical Attacks from inside their Body.

Their Pathway wouldn\'t let them create an Augmented Skill during the 2nd realm. However, instead of that, they could utilize Martial Skills.

During the 3rd realm, unlike the Halo Skills, the Pathway allowed them to improve those Martial Skills or if they wanted to change, they could since Martial Skill Manuals were common in their world, much like the Augmented Skill Scrolls and. Those improved Martial Skills were called Grand Martial Skills.

During the 4th realm, The Grand Martial Skills they possessed would be compiled and be collectively called a Martial Art. The chances of one compiling the Grand Martial Skills depended on their harmony. If every Grand Martial Skills were out of place, then the hopes of someone reaching the 4th Realm would be limited. Once they compiled it into a Martial Art, they could further expound it by adding more Grand Martial Skills as long as they could also be harmonized with the compiled Martial Art.

That\'s their equivalent of Pillars. If I recall correctly, they could conjure some kind of phenomenon when using their Martial Art and that\'s probably the equivalent for a Crown Skill.

During their 5th realm, they once again need to improve their Martial Art to Grand Martial Art.

And lastly, once they completed that Mortal Pathway which was equivalent to reaching Transcendence, one\'s Grand Martial Art will be called Supreme Martial Art and the Transcendent will be known as Supreme Martial King.

Well, sounds like a wuxia world, no? That\'s kind of correct since their Source Energy could be likened to inner energy, chakra, qi, or chi.

The Hero of that world is one of the six classmates I added to my Support List named Yotsuki Ryona. Her Unique Ability is called Weakpoint Senses.

When I first heard that, it reminded me of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. That overpowered ability to see the Lines of Death or Point of Death. Poking that line or point would result in immediate death or destruction.

However, Yotsuki\'s ability was too limited or rather too restricted. Perhaps if she was sent to a Psyche-type World where she would be able to awaken a related ability to her Weakpoint Senses, the shortcomings of her ability would be lessened.

In any case, utilizing that Unique Ability of hers managed to put her at the top of that world. Yotsuki is now known as the Supreme Martial Queen who led the Martial Sect where she climbed up to become a Sect Head to confront the Dark World denizens in that world.

During the two days of my Incarnation in that world, I helped her Sect and the allied Martial Sects to charge through the Portal Location and defeat the Evil Sect which sheltered the Dark World denizens.

Most of the Sect Head of other Martial Sects only reached the 5th realm. Nonetheless, there were two Transcendents who were actually ancestors of some of the Martial Sects that had managed to reach the threshold when the Dark World Transcendents descended.

With only three Transcendents or four including my Incarnation, they fought against the full forces of at least 15 Dark World Transcendents.

Yotsuki managed to kill at least 5 of them while the two old Transcendents managed to kill one each.

They razed the Evil Sect to the ground and had the remaining eight Transcendents escape from the Portal Location.

Using that chance, the somewhat premature World\'s Will of that World appeared, asking for my and Yotsuki\'s help to close the Portal.

We\'re successful but that\'s also the end of my Incarnation\'s two days there. Before it disappeared, Yotsuki left a message for me that she wouldn\'t use the Support Recall anymore, telling me to use it to another Hero instead. With the Portal Closed, the only problem she had left was the manhunt for those escaped Dark World Transcendents.

Since that\'s what she said, I would naturally follow her. Nonetheless, I still asked for the Portal Skill from the World\'s Will which he readily gave.

With that out of the way, I had to pick another world to go to once we\'re done erasing that descendant at the World of Elements.

Among the five left, Hiroda, the guy who got forcefully summoned during that first day, was somewhat in a predicament as well as Lulu\'s World of Fairies.

All of the Heroes registered in my Support List were all Transcendents by now, raising their average stats to be over 150 Strength and Endurance and 8 Intelligence.

Except for one of the Heroes\' Otherworld where I helped the Hero there to reach the threshold, I haven\'t sent my Incarnation to the other four worlds yet. And that\'s simply because I always use my Incarnation to check on my girls…

I know. I told myself to check onto the other worlds using my Incarnation but whenever the cooldown for the Skill ends, I would think about one of my Companions I missed spending time with.

I only chose to send the last one to Yotsuki because most of them were already with me while my Avatar was with the other four.

In any case, it\'s all good now. I\'ll think about which of the five Otherworlds we will go to once the cooldown ends. For now…

We\'re finishing up here.

At the same time as I thought of that, I looked up and saw Reinys\' Door of Transcendence breaking into pieces.

Following that, a Transcendent Aura was unleashed as Reinys flew from where the Door of Transcendence was located and straight down to my arms.

Along with the notification ringing inside my mind, Reinys, like Noelle, started crying as soon as she wrapped her arms around me.

She passed that trial. That was what\'s important.
