Before the Dark World Transcendent could brandish his sword towards me, the clone who conjured its own Purple Sword blocked it.
That clash of Swords, one Physical and one Energy, resulted in a resounding boom which spread outwards creating a circular area in which the Transcendent Auras of both my clone and its opponent settled.
"What is this? You're twins?!"
I heard the Dark World Transcendent exclaimed when he got a good look at the one who blocked him from hitting me.
That dumbass didn't even notice that it was my clone. In any case, I don't have time for him at the moment.
So before I completely left the area where he was waiting, I produced another clone which instantly moved to help the other clone.
In an instant, he fell into a disadvantageous position when two like-minded clones craftily fought him. He only had his bastard sword which was heavier than I thought.
Its power was undeniable yes, but only if he managed to hit someone with it.
In the short time that I observed him, most of his skills were for restricting someone's movement. Even the Domain which he conjured covered the two clones in Chains to slow them down.
It was all for the purpose of hitting someone with that heavy sword of his, however, none of my clones allowed him to do what he wanted. Even with a reduced effect, the Dark World Transcendent being hit by the debuff of the Bedevilled Outburst through Energy Explosion Projectiles as well as the Purple Sword was enough for the clones to work around the restriction in their movement.
The clones have limited duration so it would be good if they could finish him but stalling him was enough for now.
"I guess that's it."
Taking my mind off from that Transcendent, I saw a certain sealed area at a distance. By sealed, it was because a Domain was opened which obscured the view of someone inside it.
The plains and the few trees in there were already destroyed not from natural causes but the intensity of Energy being washed above it.
Just from the waves of Energy which continued to burst out from it, a high-leveled battle was currently taking place.
Amidst all those, I instantly recognized Fleur's Water Elemental Energy. Despite not seeing her due to the obscuring Domain, being the only one who specialized in it, it's fairly easy to locate her.
At the moment, she's in the middle of it while four other huge sources of energy encircled her.
Two of those used Dark Elemental Energy and the other two were naturally using the higher leveled Dark Energy.
Even so, the Water Elemental Energy at the middle shone the strongest.
Upon seeing that, I didn't waste time anymore and burst through the remaining distance.
Along with it, two new Clones were produced by the Totem which all aimed an attack to the same area of the obscuring domain.
When the Purple Swords stabbed through it, the Domain vibrated like still water where a rock was thrown into it.
And due to that vibrations, the situation inside became visible to me.
Like I deduced, she was currently surrounded by Benedict, Marina, and two other Transcendents.
There was a tear on her flowing azure dress but other than that, she's still as flawless as before.
Since I intentionally attacked the Domain to see through, they also noticed me coming from a distance.
And when Fleur saw the familiar pure white armor for her, the relieved smile on her face was enough to energize me further.
"Who was that? Didn't you send someone to block a Transcendent from coming?"
Marina shouted as they all paused in their tracks and observed the newcomer, me. Unlike Fleur, this Noxian Transcendent was already injured and her black dress was ripped on her side wherein a rather serious injury that had recently closed could be seen.
Even if she was surrounded, she still managed to injure someone.
"Marina, that's the one with her at that time."
Benedict answered as he also started to scrutinize me. The long blade in his hand shone as his grip tightened on it. Like before, there were numerous clones around him which he used to blend in. Most likely he's trying to land a sneak attack on Fleur but he failed miserably. He also has a glaring injury on his shoulder. It's as if a dog bit into it.
Ah. Shark to be exact, it was one of Fleur's favorite Spells. With the increase in her cultivation and stats, her spell naturally grew stronger with it, especially now that she has that Passive Skill, Enhanced Adaptability, from me.
At least he's using his eyes and managed to link me to the one who fought with him with just the four Metagen Clones.
Once I passed through that vibrating Domain, I was instantly subjected to its effects. However, it's negligible at best. The Domain's focus was that obscured screen.
Ignoring the effects of their domains which overlapped and their stares which could probably kill someone if they have laser beams coming out from their eyes, I moved to Fleur's side.
Of course, they tried to stop me but the clones met and blocked any of their attempts not minding if they would be destroyed in the process.
"I'm late. You're not hurt in any way, are you?"
The helm of the Powergen suit retracted to show my face as I asked her. Upon hearing that, it instantly produced giggles from her.
Hearing that voice now relieved all the worries I had before coming here.
"My dress got damaged. I remembered you saying how this one sticks to your memory during your visit to my parents."
While still giggling elegantly, she lifted the tail of her dress where the damage was located and showed it to me.
Despite being surrounded, for us to flirt like this in front of them. I'm sure they're more than just enraged, but they were all engaged with the two clones who are sacrificing themselves for us to have this kind of leisure time.
Four of them against one and they never managed to hurt her. That's kind of pathetic, right?
In any case, I'm more thankful that she's not hurt. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do to these guys.
"True. Let's let them pay for its repairs. Anyway, great job holding out, Fleur."
I slipped my arms to her waist and pulled her into a kiss. Fleur accepted it and held onto my shoulder. And with it, I felt her trembling and tense body relaxed.
Yes. Despite looking fine all over, she's already almost out of Energy from how long this fight she got entangled in was going on.
She was putting up a front to not give the four the opportunity to use that weakness against her. With me arriving, she didn't need to feign it anymore.
Through that kiss, I poured both Spirit and Physique Boost which instantly replenished some of her used up energy.
And when our lips separated, I conjured the Energy Zone in place, bathing her in more Elemental Energy.
"What the hell? You have the gall to flirt in front of danger. Kill the two!"
One of the Dark World Transcendents who's fuming with envy shouted.
But surprisingly, the other three listened to him. With Marina and Benedict's clones luring away my clones, the freed Benedict and the other Dark World Transcendent moved in to attack us.
"What do you think? Kill one of them and leave?"
I asked Fleur who's already casting a 10-node Water Elemental Spell. The branch-like staff in her hand glowed with azure blue light as a whale made from energy materialized in front of her.
One more reason I didn't use Concealment again was for this. Escaping in front of their eyes. But looking at it now, we can reduce their number before they go all crazy and pour everything they have.
"Yes. Kill Benedict."
Though she still processed it before answering, she came up with the name of someone she wanted to kill.
Benedict.
He's the one who killed the other Elemental Supreme who served as Fleur's master by sneak attacking while she's locked in battle with Marina.
With this, she will be able to avenge her master as well as reduce the grievance of this world with the betrayal from one of its native races.
"Alright. I'll leave it to you. I'll stall the other two."
From behind her, I stepped out and faced the two Dark World Transcendents. The retracted helm of my Powergen went back and I once again looked like a R*der. The only thing left was the other forms of my suit.
Err… enough with that.
Before clashing with them, it's a shame if they didn't taste the full extent of my Support, right? Also, this is to help Fleur easily take down the Noxian Transcendent…
Domain of Valor!
Bulwark of Invulnerability!
As the two overlapping Domain-like skills spread out from my feet. The two Dark World Transcendents, warily put up their guard but when they didn't feel any attacks coming, they heaved a sigh of relief and continued to fly towards us.
The one who shouted earlier summoned a huge unknown beast. From that, I deduced that he's most likely a Dark Beastmaster while the other one didn't have any distinguishing feature. Probably a tribe I never encountered before.
He's using a rather peculiar weapon set, a small crossbow attached on his arm and a short blade, he's like a Vampire Hunter depicted in some of the books I've read before.
Well, in any case. They're enemies.
Phantasmic Doppelganger!
