Chapter 188: Leading the Two Transcendents On

"You know, I really don't mind it if you seriously consider that, Sir Daisuke..."

The Sovereign Princess' slightly embarrassed voice rang out from the screen. Elise intentionally raised the volume of her voice when she said that. It was loud enough for the Enthroned Prince to hear from below.

Err... I'm quite conflicted about this kind of assistance from her, how should I respond to it? Go with the flow?

"Elise! Just you wait! You're mine! I will soon bring you back home! Don't ever think you can jump into another man's arms!"

Julian's raging voice thunderously rang out that the vibration made by the volume of his voice could be seen.

There's no doubt, his wife is his wrong button. He's probably too possessive of her. The Sovereign Princess even entertained what I said and let him hear it... This guy might go all out now.

Poof!

Because of the rage that he displayed, Julian's control of his energy was seriously disrupted which caused the 2nd clone to be deformed and collapsed by itself. He had to recreate it again from scratch.

Alright. That skill is too inconvenient to use. I'm glad my clones are instantly created.

"Un. Let me properly talk to you about it when I arrive back there, Elise."

Since the Sovereign Princess did that to help me anger her husband, I needed to make a follow-up. Whatever grievance she had on him, I'll make full use of it.

When the Enthroned Prince heard what I said, he gave up forming the 2nd clone. He controlled the 1st clone that was on standby to merge with him instead of fighting alongside it.

The back of that blood-clone opened and instantly covered the Fireblood Sovereign.

Like a main K*men Rider who had different suits he could use, his Ultimate Metagen switched forms by letting it merge with a Fireblood Demon clone.

"Shut up brat! Don't you dare touch her! Vermillion Demon Form!"

After shouting his retort, he once again shouted the name of his ability.

"Uhm. It seems that it works, Sir Daisuke."

The Sovereign Princess' whispering voice was relayed next. If that Enthroned Prince heard it, he might be overjoyed to know that everything was just an act.

"Thank you, Sovereign Princess and I apologize for dragging your name in this."

"No worries. Anyway. What you just did was too amazing that we're all speechless at how fast that happened."

Is she talking about my quick work on the 5 Darkgens? Maybe it looked amazing? I don't know. If it was Nysia, she could also do that.

"Five Specialized Darkgens destroyed just like that. I'm glad I didn't antagonize you. Thank you, Matthew."

"He's already scary back then but now he has become horribly terrifying."

The Imperial Princess and the Moonlight Queen's voices also rang out and commented at what I did. The former heaved a sigh of relief while the latter started trembling visibly as her hand went to her chest. That time when I broke that cube embedded on her chest was still etched on Lunaria's mind.

"That's my husband. It's already a given that he's that amazing."

After the three took a step back, Nysia reappeared on the screen while bragging about our soon-to-be relationship.

That girl… She probably thought I'm being serious about what I said regarding Elise. I promised I'll marry her when I get back so it's already fine for her to announce it like that.

When the three heard those, they all stared at her, speechless while Lexie could be seen clapping behind her. She's now more supportive of our relationship.

"Alright, I'll become a bit busy here. Remember, whatever I say here is only to anger him. You don't need to worry, wife."

Adding 'wife' at the end made that pouty woman blush profusely that she immediately covered her face to save her dignity as the strongest Transcendent.

The others could only smile while shaking their heads as they saw that display of womanliness by Nysia.

Leaving it at that, I descended a bit to level myself with the raging Enthroned Prince.

I threw a glance at the Imperial Guardian who's still busy catching my clones.

The clones' duration will soon run out. I shouldn't let them know that my clones have that kind of limitation. The triplets who saw it vanishing before were now under our custody so no one has seen it vanishing from running out of time yet.

I waved my hand and mentally commanded the 4 clones to fly back to my side. When they arrived at my side, it's the same time as their duration ran out. The command I did made it look like a gesture which deactivated the clones. It completely masked that the clones have a time limit.

"Old Man Liam, why don't the two of you join hands to deal with me now? Look at your companion raging like that, you need to support him, right?"

I smirked and pointed the Willful Sword at him. With its blue lightning aura, a Triple Slash consisting of Energy Slash, Wind Blades and Cleaving Blades was ejected and flew towards him as it made an arc in the air.

Because he was barraged by the Energy Explosion Projectiles, he's now wary about my real body's attacks. Though the triple slash was also enhanced due to the increase of my stats, it's not that strong against an Ultimate Metagen and a Transcendent.

"Old man?! Don't you know how to give others some respect?! I'm at least half a century older than you!"

The Imperial Guardian retorted before controlling his 20-meter tall Majestic Mammoth to fly upwards in a bid to dodge the Triple Slash. For someone who came here to gang up on me, it's quite bold of him to ask for some respect.

"Look. It's not that I'm disrespecting you, I already have 3 guys I'm calling as Old Man and they're all someone I somehow respect. One was now weaker than me but I'll keep that while the other two were still full of mysteries. Besides, aren't you two here to deal with me?"

If nothing bad happens, Old Man Reol will reach Transcendence albeit a little slower than Raiden, Erin and Avelin.

The other two are that cunning Principal and the Incarnation in that Underground Mansion.

With my response, the Imperial Guardian couldn't find any words to retort so the Enthroned Prince did it for him by doing a preemptive attack as if that's something I haven't accounted for.

His Vermillion Demon Form could be said to be a bit terrifying if seen from afar but for me who determined him to be a bigger threat than the Imperial Guardian, his every move was carefully monitored by me.

As he flew over, blood-red lance-shaped energy projectiles were created and spearheaded his attack. From the intensity of those projectiles and his lance that was bigger than me, it would really spell my death if I took it head-on.

I still refuse to use everything I have, especially the Totem. These two wouldn't be here without the influence of the Emperor. Before retreating, I needed to at least squeeze some information from them as well as build my prestige among the Transcendents of this world, as well as the Dark World and the Anzeans.

If I have to guess, the Anzeans also have their own Transcendents as leader of their civilization. I just couldn't guess what their real goal was here. I'm lacking information.

Somehow, I feel like that due to my Transcendence, the widening of the portals has once again quickened. The Transcendents of the Dark World might be able to descend here soon. Not just here, on Yuko and Yumiko's Otherworld as well.

And due to the increase of my support bonus, some of the heroes registered to me probably only needed 1 more breakthrough to reach the threshold to call upon the Door of Transcendence.

If we're about to fight stronger enemies, we have to quickly straighten up these Transcendents going against their own world.

Energy Thread!

Flash Steps!

After throwing a rope made of energy as thick as my arm towards the incoming Metagen, I dodge to the side before flying upwards.

The link failed to lodge itself on the Fireblood Sovereign due to the swarm of blood-red lances hacking at it continuously. If I wanted to establish that link and drain his energy, I needed to sneak behind him but with the two of them here, it would be hard.

The Imperial Guardian already recovered from his speechlessness. And like the Enthroned Prince, his Ultimate Metagen has started to take on another form.

This time, his aura surged and as if a rampaging mammoth, the tusks behind him moved forward. His superhuman strength has limited capabilities but with the help of that Metagen, he got a wide variety of attacks to supplement that awakened ability.

Of course, I shouldn't completely believe the information that was recorded about them. The possibility of him hiding his trump cards is there.

The two huge tusks dislodged from the Majestic Mammoth and hovered around him. Afterwards, the two tusks let off some kind of energy outburst which split the two into 16 identical white blades.

The bone-like spikes on his Metagen's back expanded and covered its two arms, bulking it up.

And that's not all, the 16 identical blades lodged themselves on those bulked up arms, giving his Majestic Mammoth a new look and sharp weapons instead of just its fists.

At least, he's not like the Enthroned Prince who shouted his new form.

"Your arrogance will end here brat. Even if we failed to kill you, I'll make sure you wouldn't be able to go back to the city."

Surprisingly, the old man managed to calm himself down and caught up to where we were. As expected of a Transcendent, I guess?

Now, to cope with the two of them whose pressure increased, I need to get myself a Metagen… or a Darkgen.

When that thought came to my mind, I smirked and looked down at the Darkgens which fell down after their pilots dying.

At least two of those weren't that damaged, I can use them.
