The Ultimate Support Character - Chapter 581 The Mystery of the Eye

Chapter 581 The Mystery of the Eye

“Her eyes. Her eyes are resonating with mine. There’s a connection. A deeper connection regarding their origins” Yse continued.

With her eyes also forcefully opened wide, I could sense how she was trying to resist losing her consciousness. The power within her was sapping most of her Source Energy.

If not for the faucet that I directed to her, she wouldn’t last this long to pry into the veiled woman’s mysterious eyes.

I waved my hand, blocking a huge blizzard of sharp ice blades from entering our area. I could feel my Source Energy being drained again but it was still negligible.

Next to Yse, I noticed Yuko has started using her Foresight. She even retracted some of her defensive skills to achieve a better result when it was in its full activation.

Immediately, the Source Energy around her began churning, creating another storm-like phenomenon, resisting the Glacial Energy Storm.

Having understood that this was beyond the scope of our past lives’ knowledge, Yuko was attempting to see what lies before us minutes or maybe hours into the future. Or at least, get a clue on which path we should take.

Luckily, her Source Energy was more robust than Yse. She has my Flux Energy State, strengthening her main Pathway and she has assimilated the Level 3 Earth Energy.

At this point, while the two women were in the middle of understanding what was in front of us, the only thing I could do was wait for them and protect them from the danger brought by the Energy Storm.

For sure, this wouldn’t go on for eternity as it also needed a Source; the veiled woman’s body.

When that happened, she’d either die from thorough Energy Exhaustion or just disappear into ashes after achieving what she initially wanted to do; self-destruct.

Thinking about it, it’s the reason that special pair of eyes put her into this state.

It’s betting on an outside interference to stop her from dooming herself to death.

[Master another blizzard in two different directions]

Tem warned me. And following it, my Adaptability also picked up the upcoming danger.

Using Energy Control on one hand and Sword Skill: Counter on the other, I neutralized the treacherous ice blades.

Then, when it became calmer, I looked ahead and properly observed the veiled woman’s figure.

Using my acute Energy Manipulation, my extreme Senses, and my experience of having stepped into a state where all types of Source Energy have been merged into one, I started peering through what little information I could gleam from what my eye could see.

Focusing on the woman’s eyes that seemed to be the embodiment of extreme winter. It was peculiar. They’re glowing desperately. They didn’t want to be snuffed out.

That’s something I already guessed but confirming it like this was helpful.

However,?what is this feeling…?

If I could describe being seen through Yuko or Yse’s Eye of Destiny as being stripped naked down to my skeletal remains, this particular pair of eyes possessed by the woman gave me the feeling of being drained of everything. Blood, fluids, flesh, and Source Energy.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t emanate the sense of death but of dreary desolation.

Eye of Destiny… We named it like that but we’re not exactly sure what to call it. There are no records of different possessors aside from Yuko. In any case, with it being a guide for us during our past lives, the name stuck with it.

And then we found out that Yse possessed the same eyes.

Well, only when I regained my memory did I manage to link Yse’s eyes to the Eye of Destiny.

As for this pair of eyes.

It has the ability to freeze Source Energy. No… It might not just be freezing of one’s Source Energy, there’s possibly more to it than the veiled woman knows. She just fitted it in her Transcendent Pathway.

How should I put it…

It might be closer to feeling nothingness or nonexistent. Nihility.

It’s different from the Void from the Elemental Pathway as that one only corresponds to the Elemental Energy…

However, I cannot be sure yet.

As I’ve only experienced being hit by it once, it’s hard to make a conclusion.

Upon reaching this point of realization, my overthinking process halted as my attention got pulled into Yuko’s state.

My trusty and most special Companion had started trembling uncontrollably. Her Source Energy had started to become disrupted and slowly, they were beginning to freeze.

I don’t know what happened but it’s like she got struck by a forbidden spell that specifically prevented her from seeing into the future.

“Yuko!”

I immediately teleported behind her and put her in my embrace.

Changing my Source Energy to pure Fire Elemental Energy, I replaced the Flux Energy covering her body to melt the ice encroaching upon her.

Upon closer inspection, the ice trying to cover her was too extreme and quaintly familiar.

Right. This feels like the moment my Source Energy was about to be frozen by the veiled woman earlier.

Damn it! It’s the same state I was in earlier!

Then… The culprit is none other than that pair of eyes!

“Stop!” Turning my gaze to the woman once again, I shouted and carried my voice through an extremely sharp molded Source Energy toward the veiled woman.

One meter before it reached her, the Source Energy I conjured exploded but it successfully pushed my voice to her.

As soon as that happened, the process of being encased by the threatening ice halted. Those crystal-like ice shattered into pieces as they started falling off of her body.

Should I show gratitude to it or not? Hell, no!

But I’m glad it listened.

To hasten the process, I covered Yuko’s lips with mine and poured in the Fire Elemental Energy from that connection.

As it was proven effective during our early days when she refilled my World Energy through kisses, the Fire Elemental Energy I converted smoothly spread across her body.

.

And it’s highly effective.

A few breaths later, it immediately worked its wonders, warming Yuko’s body up.

Then, eventually, her consciousness returned.

“Dai-kun!”

Yuko was rarely frightened even against the toughest of enemies. However, at this moment, her face became wrought with it.

She turned around and threw herself further in my embrace, seeking the warmth and comfort coming from me.

Naturally, I secured her in place without taking any of my attention away from both the veiled woman and Yse.

Even if my highest priority is my Companion, our fate also rests upon the two women in this space.
