"So this is the fate of our tribe… After submitting to survive the previous Catastrophe of being encroached upon by a Higher World, we were then sent to another Mortal World after a few years of peace. We were then stuck here for more than 3 years without any chance to become a Transcendent due to a hostile World's Will. And now, we're now facing annihilation…"
The leader of the white robes tribes uttered in extreme sorrow.
However, even that failed to move me, instead, my ears perked up to one of his sentences.
Hostile World's Will? So, is it possible to call for the Door if the World's Will allowed you? Even if it's not the world of your Source Energy?
Since Yumiko and Yuko needed to get back to their Otherworld to call for it, I assumed that one needed to be in the world of their Source Energy. But thinking about it now, the first Source Energy we adapted was the special Psyche Energy. They were probably just reminded that they couldn't call for the Door of Transcendence on Earth due to the World's Will being unawakened or the Earth not having any Source Energy in its atmosphere. It needed Energy to materialize after all.
We were thinking of sending Ezyn and the others back to the World of Spirits when they reached the threshold but I guess that will not be a problem anymore. They just needed permission from the World's Will. But I first need to confirm that to her…
I turned to the Incarnation that was still busy defeating one of the Pseudo-Transcendents. With only her Energy Control in her skill set, she was making use of it a lot better than how I use my Energy Control.
Well, she could defeat her opponent faster if she's outside while controlling the boundless Elemental Energy of the world. In here, her control over the Dark Energy is limited but she could still control it nonetheless. There's also an option for her to use the Elemental Energy making up her body but that's for a desperate situation just like when she was hit by the Energy Restricting Equipment back then.
My Support Incarnation was somehow similar to hers except, it only has half of my skills and it can use most of my skills whereas the World's Will had to rely completely on Energy Control
"That's just how life is. Don't you think so? We'll also face the same fate as you if we let you rampage in our world. We have to clean this world up for me to gain a slight peace of mind."
Readying the Willful Sword, I intend to use the Unnamed Sword Skill to end him. The conjured clones would be fine preventing more Pseudo-Transcendents to form and I already got the gist of how that Formation works. It would be a good method for team battles or large scale war. I might not be able to replicate it perfectly but creating a toned-down version was probably viable.
Just like the World's Will, I will start creating more reasonable skills using my Energy Control. The Boosts and the Dispelling Arrow wasn't enough. The Dispelling Arrows were also somehow useless against Transcendents whose control over their Energy were skillful enough to prevent themselves from being negated by it.
Seeing Jayna's Vermillion Bolt at work already gave me an idea of what to do with it but it's impossible to be created on the fly like the Elemental Boost. I have to add more complexities to it as inspired by the World's Will's Nullification Zone.
Apart from the buffs and Supports Skills, my overwhelming Energy Control is my biggest advantage after all. Letting it be used on simple skills was not doing it any justice.
After reaching the 4th Realm, I will be focusing on it and who knows, it might also be beneficial to the Adaptability level that was moving slower than a snail's pace.
"Y-you're right… This is how life works. A weak will always be trampled by someone stronger… But we will not fall down without a fight!"
The white robes tribe leader's sorrow was washed away by my words and was replaced by his final burst of fervor.
Before I could activate the unnamed Sword Skill, he instantly moved away from within my vicinity and flew up to the middle of the Merged Zone before shouting on the top of his lungs.
"My tribesmen, I have failed you but hear this. Our Cloudborne Tribe will not go down without a fight! Boundless Overlord!"
As soon as every white robes tribe member heard him. They all stopped at what they're doing. Whether they're attacking or defending from our attacks, passed out or weakened, every one of them opened their eyes and looked at him.
The Pseudo-Transcendents which managed to form and were fighting Fleur and the others flew in their fastest speed to his side, ignoring their crumbling bodies. Those weakened, injured, and passed out on the ground lifted their hands and sent a differing size of Dark Energy which all got absorbed by the tribe leader.
The intensity of his Energy gradually grew higher but his body also started to crumble even further. However, when the Pseudo-Transcendents touched his shoulder, his body started to shine in white light to contain whatever they were passing to him. One by one those Pseudo-Transcendents disintegrated to ashes and not even the white robes they're wearing were spared.
Of course, I wouldn't just watch him go past the strength we could handle as we are.
I sent a glance to the freed Incarnation wherein it instantly nodded and moved to my side. After that, Fleur and Jayna moved in front of us with Hikari and Boris on both of their sides.
As I opened every buff I could open, Hikari did the same before conjuring a Spell Nucleus. And after that, the World's Will used at least 50% of what's making up her body to send it to the four in front of us.
Within a few seconds, Fleur, Jayna, Hikari, and Boris' Energy Intensity and strength went up for more than just a few notches as they all bolted from our position.
We talked about this earlier that if we will be faced with something that we wouldn't be able to deal with individually, the four of them will be our swords while we will become the bow and arrows that will support them from behind using our Energy Control.
The white robes leader's strength already was just approaching the Rank 2 Transcendent but his feet had already disintegrated to ashes. Whatever attack he was preparing, it's strong enough that my Adaptability started to ring continuously, telling me to dodge whatever it is that will be sent by him.
This is their last desperate attempt as a whole tribe of Mortals before their complete demise. Defying the limits of what a mere Mortal can do.
But as always, the reality is cruel for them, Hikari wielded her staff and sent numerous light beams from a 9-nodes Light Elemental Spell to one of the Pseudo-Transcendents that was about to touch his shoulder, preventing it from doing that. A few moments later, it disintegrated into ashes with its energy dispersing from where his body crumbled.
Boris also did the same, brandishing his whip which was supported by a 9-nodes Water Elemental Spell which also incorporated the use of Wind Element, speeding it up to prevent another Pseudo-Transcendent to transfer his Energy to the leader.
To end this unfinished desperate attempt, Jayna transformed to her Nature Nymph Form. From behind her, a whole Burning Tree covered with countless vines was conjured. Beneath it was her miniature Spirit Ocean, catering to its roots. Soon afterwards, those vines extended themselves as it constricted and burned another Pseudo-Transcendent who even tried to guard against it.
And lastly, Fleur conjured a gigantic Whale formed from her Water Elemental Energy. It didn't even need to swim and traverse the distance between her and the Cloudborne tribe leader along with the last of the Pseudo-Transcendent, swallowing both of them with its gigantic body.
The desperate Cloudborne tribe leader could only glare helplessly as his eyes became filled with indignance. He probably thought he could at least take one of us down as long as he finished that Boundless Overlord of his. His tribe members all sacrificed themselves for that but what did he get? Restrained by a gigantic whale while not receiving four Pseudo-Transcendents power.
When Fleur's shoulder relaxed as she finished the Elemental Spell, she looked behind me and nodded. Not only her, Jayna, Hikari, and Boris all looked behind. They wanted me to finish it.
"Go. He will surely be honored if he was killed by the one he deemed as our leader."
The Incarnation also chimed in as she gave me another push to the back.
What's this?… We're not in a shounen manga, you know? There's no power of friendship at play here. Also, thoughts of the dead will not matter at all. He will still die in one way or another. If not to our hands, the large amount of energy contained in his body will break it.
Err… since they already went a bit dramatic over this, I could only follow through.
Taking out the Willful Sword and filling it with the blue-colored Swordforce, I activated the Unnamed Sword Skill. Dense, Sharp, and Swift.
With the three intents filling the Willful Sword up, I slashed it towards the restrained Cloudborne Tribe Leader. From the Willful Sword, a gigantic crescent Sword Skill was released and in a blink of an eye, it already plunged itself to Fleur's Aquatic Whale, cutting in half, along whoever or whatever's inside it.
