Chapter 472: Switch

Opening up a Portal through the use of World's Will's Authority, I first went to pick up Jayna, Elise and Lunaria. They got a good haul from the Rank 2 Transcendents' Storage Equipment but we're going to check that later. I doubt there would be a lot of valuables in there. At best there would be Energy Stones and some Output Enhancing Equipment. An Imbued Tool was rarer and could only be found in a Sage World.

Holding onto the three, I opened another Portal to Brazil where Yuko and my Avatar were fighting the long-nosed Transcendent.

It was a quick process unlike what the Principal was doing wherein his Energy was connecting one place to another before gradually drilling a hole to it. And if he stopped maintaining it with his Energy, the Portal would close instantly.

This Authority of the World's WIll was a bit different, it's instantly connecting me from one place to another. If I want to I could even go and meet my mother first due to how fast it is. Moreover, it's not using my Energy but the surrounding Level 3 Earth Energy.

In less than a second, the view of the evacuated town and the intense battle happening at the two sides of it appeared in front of us.

"There. Sofiel and the others are waiting. Also, Lunaria, keep this. If any of you were put in danger, don't hesitate to use that. Ah. Your Energy wouldn't be enough to power it so, pass it to Sofiel."

While pointing at the circular area enclosed inside the Light Wall created by Sofiel and currently being maintained by Noelle, I handed the Ice Rifle to Lunaria. Sofiel had her Imbued Tool but that one only had its unpredictability. There would still be a chance for it to not work properly.

It has limited ammo. However, I now have a method to create more bullets for it from my memory. Just that, it needed some kind of mineral that could only be found in a Sage World. And naturally, Earth hadn't possessed that kind of mineral yet. It ran dry when it became unawakened so… we had to visit an open Sage World that was being used as a trading place for various worlds.

Or perhaps, some other Transcendent Converging World where there's a Marketplace selling goods from a higher world.

Like the denizens, the quality of resources that could be found inside a world was scaling with its level.

Give it a few years and the Earth would be recovered enough to produce those things too. However, in the meantime, I had no choice but to rely on the resources of another world.

After receiving the Ice Rifle from me, Lunaria, Jayna and Elise entered the Light Wall.

With their addition, it would lift the burden on the other girls.

Moreover, Jayna could once again use her Imbued tool. It wouldn't be as effective and it would need more Energy due to the number of enemies, nonetheless, a debuff on their stats and the Ailment it would cause was enough to even out the battlefield.

Following that, I moved to where Yuko and my Avatar were fighting against the long-nosed Transcendent.

As soon as I entered the vicinity, the long-nosed instantly noticed me. Without any warning, two spheres that seemed to be made from collecting iron dust on the ground came hurtling in my direction.

The sphere's speed isn't that fast but the way it parted the surrounding Energy would be enough to overwhelm someone who heavily relied on surrounding Energy.

Controlling the Energy they swept away from their path, a thick Energy Wall instantly conjured in front of me, deflecting the spheres.

Following that, Purple Swords were instantaneously conjured behind me, shooting towards the origin of the sphere.

"Dai-kun!" Yuko, upon seeing that exchange, flew towards me, followed by my Avatar.

Despite utilizing her skills and even her domains, Yuko still suffered minor injuries.

Naturally, before she could even arrive, I cast the Aether Elemental Spell: Cure to her direction, healing what needs to be healed.

"I see. The real body of that… clone, huh? Unfortunately, your strength still wasn't enough."

The long-nosed Transcendent pulled out a blunt weapon from his Storage Equipment.

Without moving from his position, he brandished that hammer and the space in front of him seemingly collapsed.

As if we're thinking the same thing about putting each other out of danger, Yuko and I ended up hugging each other as we dodged his incoming attack.

For it to appear as if it could collapse a Level 3 World's space. It's most likely one of his strongest attacks.

Nonetheless, that's not the end of it.

Before we could even separate from each other, another Collapsing Energy Attack traveled in our direction, complete with the sound of breaking glass.

At this point, we're now on the same page.

Yuko pointed her saber to the long-nosed Transcendent while I also pointed my sword towards him.

As both Saberforce and Swordforce ignited from our weapons, an Energy Explosion of blue and red propelled us in a straight direction.

There's no Saber Skill or Sword Skill involved, it's just a normal thrust of our weapons.

However, backing that was every buff covering our bodies.

Looking ahead, the long-nosed Transcendent also made a stance with his hammer, as Bluntforce gathered on it, mechanical armor that appeared to be a heavy suit covered his body.

His hammer then changed its form and became a shoulder-mounted cannon.

Even if his hammer transformed into something, the gathering Bluntforce didn't disperse and instead, it was intensified by his Source Energy.

Aiming the cannon at us, the long-nosed Transcendent then fired it and another deafening explosion ensued filling up our sight.

That's right. He's a Rank 3 Transcendent of Psyche-type Invasive World. They're bound to be technologically advanced than the other worlds.

Nonetheless, even after feeling the strength of a Rank 3 Transcendent in that attack, Yuko and I pushed forward.

Both Sword and Saber generated a thrusting force that cut through that Energy-filled cannon shot.

As if a boat going against the wave, Yuko and I continued on our way.

Ignoring the tear from our clothes and the little cuts that were drilling through the Energy protecting us, our Sword and Saber finally reached their destination!

As soon as the long-nosed Transcendent became exposed to our opened domains, his attack instantly weakened.

And using that opportunity, our weapons stabbed deep into his mechanical armor sending him away.

Upon tightening my arm holding onto Yuko, I instantly followed after the flying Transcendent, colorful Elemental Energy could be seen from behind me.

"Y-you two! How could you hav--"

"You can ask the question later. For now, let me send you someplace else."

As soon as I reached him, the Authority of World's Will took effect again, opening a Portal behind him.

What could be seen inside that portal was the wide blue ocean where Nysia and the Red Wolf were fighting nearby.

Sending a kick straight to his chest, the long-nosed Transcendent was immediately thrown inside it.

Following that, I released Yuko from my grasp.

"Keep him occupied for now. I'm going to pick up Irja."

Leaving that as parting words, I opened another Portal and entered through it.
