The Ultimate Support Character - Chapter 573 Decisiveness

Chapter 573 Decisiveness

A unit of Chaotic Energy per minute? That’s so cost-effective as an ability to interrupt any Skill below Rank 3 Transcendent level.

Furthermore, remembering how long I’ve assimilated the Chaosworld and only a meager 21 units have been stored, it calls for me to be frugal in its use.

“Ah. It doesn’t matter. Tem, can you redirect my Source Energy to my left hand once it has recovered enough?”

[Yes! It is possible. Unfortunately, Domain-type skills will be impossible to utilize. Beware of it clashing with the Chaotic Energy or they will negate each other. Worse, they might clash and cause an explosion.]

Right. Even if I already adapted it, it still couldn’t be melded with Source Energy. Maybe I needed to reach the Divine Realm and assimilate it completely before I’d be able to mix the two opposing types of energies.

“I understand. That’s enough, I still have other means. Momo, stop sleeping. I need you this time.”

Momo, my Sword Spirit, immediately materialized behind me upon my call. The little dumpling popped out like a mischievous spirit and floated down to my shoulder. Like an excited kid given permission to play at the park, she giggled jubilantly before her body shone in the same deep blue color of my Swordforce.

My Flux Energy is still recovering and I have little Chaotic Energy reserves? No problem. Sword Skills can be unleashed with or without its enhancement. As someone who already started treading my own Sword Path, displaying my might as a Swordmaster is still an option.

Like I mentioned before, it was separate from the usual Source Energy Pathways. It runs through a unique essence called Swordforce or Force.

A Weaponmaster who started walking his or her own Weaponpath can fight a Transcendent even if there’s a whole rank of gap between them.

As for its origin, let’s just say I’m still not knowledgeable enough to pry upon its mystery.

While the Source and Chaotic Energy are considered two sides of the same coin, Force is a parallel essence to them.

If I continue walking on this path, completing it will possibly unravel its mystery.

In any case, although one could argue that I should’ve used my Sword Path against that veiled woman earlier, my complacency got me thinking that I could handle any situation.

Not to mention, I tend to follow the common strategy of keeping more cards under my sleeves.

There’s nothing good about revealing everything you’re capable of at the first instance.

Unfortunately, I had a lapse of judgement and blundered horribly. There’s no point making excuses anymore.

That’s why I should quickly wrap things up in this Mortal World to avoid further blunders.

My Chaotic Energy is limited. Refilling it is more difficult than refilling my Source Energy which can be endless thanks to my faucets. I have to be frugal in spending it.

This will be the first time to use it alongside my Swordpath. Hopefully, it can give me an edge.

‘Yeah. Let’s expel useless thoughts and focus on our goal.

With that thought in mind, I first deactivated the Chaos Veil before routing the Transcendents who were biding their time to jump at the dragon couple using my sword. A slash and a stab was enough for them. Even if they survived it, I’m certain that Ezyn and Yse could finish them off.

Following that, using only the physical capabilities of my body, I swiftly flew to the first Companion I decided to lend a hand out to.

“Nysia. I’ll create an opening for you. Drill into this granny’s chest and take the victory.”

Squeezing what little Source Energy I recovered, I sent a telepathic message to my wife.

At the moment, her battle against the Rank 3 Transcendent from Psyche-type World was at a standstill.

Despite looking like a dwarf facing against a giant, she could still hold her ground against that humongous mecha.

However, upon observation, her opponent’s Framegear might’ve gotten full of scratches but none of its integral parts had been damaged.

On the other hand, Nysia’s Sanguine Aegis was already on its last legs. The technological difference between the two was so distant that it’s hard to bridge that gap no matter how amazing Nysia is as an emerging Rank 3 Transcendent.

A few seconds later, I heard Nysia’s enthusiastic reply along with her sweet-sounding sigh of relief. “Husband, before saying you’re going to help me. Promise me not to scare us like that again. I can’t be widowed yet. I have yet to bear our child.”

“I promise. I’ll stop being too complacent no matter who we face. Let’s finish this stage and lay in bed together.”

Rather than utter an empty apology that would make us depressed, I matched her enthusiasm. Like I had guessed, all of my Companions felt the same way. I shall constantly reflect on that moment of complacency. I cannot repeat the same mistake.

“Follow my lead. I have a plan. Let’s drag that old woman out of that huge hunk of metal. From today onwards, it will be yours.”

“Heh. I love the confidence, husband but is it possible?”

“Even if it isn’t, we’ll make it possible. It’s just a huge piece of equipment. If I can bypass the universal law that it is impossible to control Chaotic Energy, allowing you to pilot that big hunk of a mecha is a piece of cake.”

Though that could be taken as boasting on my part, it was true to an extent.

Back then, with the memories of my past life chunked out of my head, my understanding of Source Energy prevented me from bypassing the use of other types of Source Energy to pilot a Metagen. But now, it’s only a matter of molding the nature of our adapted energies. I’m confident I can guide Nysia to do it.

And as for my plan… I will make sure not to make any mistakes.

Before the opposing Transcendent could react, I pulled out the Willful Sword.

It burned with a menacing Swordforce that threatened to swallow up the atmosphere. Momo who appeared adorable also seemingly burned with the same flame as she melded into my sword.

Then, I took a stance to execute a Sword Skill; the Sword Skill that I used to break that Golden Statue in the Dimensional Defense.

Heavy Rain!

“Nysia. Focus your ability on its chest. I’ll drill a hole for you. Let’s drag her out.”

Sending that through telepathy, Nysia promptly acknowledged.
