Chapter 477: No Escape

"Erin, move to that spot. Leianne, block the Wind Elementals way using your Ice Domain."

Although I didn't really need to point them in a direction on where they should place themselves, I still did it because the girls were always waiting for what I would say whenever we're on the battlefield together.

Especially this time when it's important to not let these two Rank 3 Transcendents get away.

Since I broadcasted the words I uttered to the red-skinned Transcendent when I was talking him down when he surrendered, if these two decided to escape, they would surely leave the atmosphere of Earth.

The strongest combatants of Earth were at least two days away from Earth even if they used their Space Vessels and I doubt that sly old man could just open up a portal from where he was.

If these two left the confines of the Earth, we wouldn't be able to chase after them because outside, the restriction they were receiving would be lifted. The advantage we're having against them at this moment would be voided.

That's why… we had to finish them here.

Even with the revelation that there's an organization behind them, that could be mulled over later.

"Irja, support Nysia. If you need replenishment of energy. You know where to get it. Avelin, go with her. Take care of his Metallic Shards."

"Fleur and Yumiko. Standby here and watch out if they try to retreat upwards, you both know what to do. I'll be circling the battlefield to sneak an attack whenever I can."

After I finished saying that, all the girls around me moved out to their respective positions.

And like what I did against the Red Wolf, I used Void Concealment to wait for the opportune moment to end the fight against the remaining two Transcendents unaware.

If at first the Wind Elemental and the long-nosed Rank 3 Transcendent were evenly matched against Yuko and Nysia, the addition of my other Companions was enough for them to panic.

The Wind Elemental opened his Domain, letting him control the Wind inside it. Due to that, he could create vacuum areas that could weaken or totally disintegrate Yuko, Erin and Leianne's attack.

Leianne's Ice Domain almost collapsed against it but when she opened her other Domain from her other Pathways plus transforming into a Glacier Fairy from her Spirit Pathway, she managed to stabilize it and even filled the vacuum with her frozen blocks of seawater that she scooped up from below, negating it.

Erin then ordered her Pillars to as well as her Shadow Clones to assist Yuko's Future clones to thoroughly block the Wind Elemental's path of retreat.

On the other side, the long-nosed Transcendent's Armored Suit's core was finally pierced by Nysia.

She managed to do it when she suddenly ejected herself out of the Sanguine Aegis, taking the long-nosed Transcendent by surprise.

Her Powergen instantly equipped itself on her body, amplifying the hit of her Morning Star, disintegrating the thick armor plates covering it.

As soon as that Powered Suit malfunctioned and almost toasted the long-nosed Transcendent, Avelin came homing in with her greataxe. Following my advice to her, her previous greataxe somehow merged with the new axe I gave her, letting the consciousness in it also inhabit her new axe.

Like my Willful Sword, it started exhibiting unique properties. For example, from behind her, her Flux Energy covering her entire body would conjure an apparition behind her almost similar to the Higher Spirits that Yumiko borrows ability from.

That apparition would then deliver a follow-up attack, copying what Avelin did.

More often than not, those who blocked her attack would be somewhat relaxed, thinking it was over. And that became the reason for their defeat.

When I sparred with her once, I was also hit by it and the strength of that apparition was no joke especially if she used an Axe Skill, it's the version of Sword Skill for her.

Apart from the two, Irja repeated what she did against the Red Wolf. Creating a cage by continuously shooting her colorful Energy Attacks nonstop before gradually reducing the space of the cage, trapping the enemy inside

In this way, the slightly drawn-out battle against the first Rank 3 Transcendents we encountered had entered its final stage.

Naturally, I wanted them to surrender by themselves but not everyone was afraid of death like the red-skinned Transcendent.

When the Wind Elemental found himself trapped between Yuko's Future Clones, Erin's Shadow Clones and Leianne's triple Ice Domain, he furiously roared.

"You're just a bunch of Rank 2 Transcendent! There's no way I will fall here!"

As always, it's the same ramblings of a third-rate villain.

After that shout, he began burning his life force.

However, before he could utilize the increase in his strength using that desperate measure, I reappeared behind him.

Learning from the lesson earlier wherein the Red Wolf Transcendent continued to live even after stabbing and exploding his internal organs, I activated one of my repressed Skill, Random Improvement, before using another memory-pulled Sword Skill.

"Yes way that you will fall here. You're not in your territory. Remember. Never underestimate a Higher World even if it's like this. Since you chose this path, there's only one endpoint for you. Death."

As I whispered these words to him.

The Sword Skill that was improved by Random Improvement dropped from the sky.

It's a Sword Skill but what appeared above was a gigantic hammer. So much expectation for the Random Improvement, eh?

However, what happened next surprised even me.

When it hit his head. The Gigantic Hammer broke down into thousand pieces of Energy Sword. It all had a physical form and was shining in different colors of light.

What I used as a Sword Skill was somewhat similar to Heavy Rain.

It's called the Festival of Blades as it conjured at least fifty different swords that were pulled from my memory, each equipped with simple abilities.

And this time, Random Improvement turned it into not just a Festival but a Storm of Swords.

Even with his non-fleshy body, the Wind Elemental used his enhanced strength from burning his life force to protect himself from the Sword Skill.

However, after deflecting 100 of those Swords, his defense broke down, letting him drown in 900 more Swords.

And naturally, the three girls didn't just stand there to watch.

Yuko activated her Ultimate Skill from the System Pathway. Not the Hero's Ultimate but the extremely offensive skill that was now improved by her four Supplemental Skills.

Erin and Leianne also put out their strongest attack to finalize the fate of this Wind Elemental.

When the long-faced Transcendent saw the fate of the Wind Elemental, as soon as he recovered from the attacks of Avelin and Nysia. He pulled out a small capsule from his Equipment Storage.

Being on the lookout, Fleur and Yumiko immediately moved from where they were as soon as it appeared.

They were aware of material compression technology. If that capsule turned out to be something destructive, it would be too late to stop it if they waited to see what's inside.

Before the long-nosed Transcendent could open the small capsule, two swift Energy Attacks targeting the capsule were fired from the two women.

The Energy Attacks accurately hit the capsule, prying it out of the long-nosed Transcendent's hand.

While it was about to drop in the ocean, the capsule disintegrated and as soon as that happened, destroyed pieces of the Space Vessel appeared from where the capsule disappeared.

As it turns out, that's his escape path. Yumiko and Fleur's quick judgement prevented him from escaping.
