"Sir Great Protector, an unknown Transcendent is currently approaching my location, what should I do?"
A Communication Spell lit up in front of which carried the voice of one of the Luxian Transcendents that was currently out for scouting.
From his hurried voice, that felt like he was conflicted whether he should engage or retreat.
According to Sofiel, he's the one who has spells specifically for running away and his survival skills were the highest among the three. That's the reason why he was often sent deep inside the enemies' territory.
Only this ti, due to the reverence he has towards , he contacted first instead of Sofiel who went back to Aves.
Well, not only him, even the other two. After eting , they instantly built up faithful reverence to the Great Protector that they're now trying to report to first before the Supre Pontiff.
It was already around three hours since Hikari's Door of Transcendence appeared and thirty minutes after that, she managed to open the door and at the 40-minute mark, she managed to pass through the Door Guardians and entered the Door for the next part.
We're now free to move but watching over the gate was still needed. Who knows what will happen if soone attacked the Door hanging above the sky when the one attempting was still inside. Better be safe than sorry.
"What's your location? Also, are you sure it's unknown? Is he a Noxian or a Dark World denizen?"
The following hours after that first wave of Dark Energy, more waves ca after it with an interval of one hour.
The intensity of those waves of Dark Energy was gradually growing stronger that if it continued, even the Rank 3 Mortal and below will start to feel it.
Of what those waves indicated, I could only guess earlier that it was the Dark World's attempt to completely widen the Portal. With this Luxian Transcendent's report, it sohow confird it and brought another piece of intelligence. With every wave of Dark Energy, a Dark World Transcendent is trying to descend.
If that's the case, it's possible that there are more of them by now. However, there's only one in his report and that one is probably an aggressive one and is trying to call dibs on the trophy of being the first one to kill a lower world Transcendent.
Is that Dark World Transcendent soone confident with his strength or he's just soone with a superiority complex?
Either way, this is a chance to test their ttle. Picking them off one by one will be beneficial for us.
"I'm at the western side of the valley. I retreated back from my previous position but he's following . He's not a Noxian, his features is that of soone from another world with his dark outfit. Also, he's not exuding the sa Elental Energy as us. It's the sa as those foreign invaders,"
The Luxian Transcendent answered. His voice sounded quite muffled due to him making his report while running away from that Dark World Transcendent.
"Alright, Don't let him see the Doors, lure him towards the location I am going to tell you. Also, report this back to your Supre Pontiff."
"Understood, Great Protector!"
After that acknowledgent, I directed him to a location near here that I deed suitable for ambushing soone.
Since we're behind the three territories, that Transcendent didn't co from the direction of the Noxian Territory. Then it's safe to suspect that the Portal is located at the western part of the world
"Let's go, Fleur. Since it's possible that there are more of them, we'll go in for the kill. Better to be sure for now."
This is what I decided. There's no need to catch one when there's possibly a number of them descending, one less Transcendent is equal to one less problem for us.
Before setting off, I observed the hovering Door of Transcendence above us. It's still calm and surely, the sa with our attempts, the Trials will last for more than 12 hours before Hikari's Transcendence reaches its completion.
That is if she successfully passed all the Endurance and Mind Trial.
"I understand. I won't hold back."
Fleur nodded. Her Transcendent Aura grew in power as the ice-like strings of her Transcendent Pathway were conjured and floated around her.
This will beco our first confrontation against a Transcendent of the Dark World. As to what will be the result… I'm quite confident with our chances.

Five minutes later. At the location which I handpicked to be the place of ambush, a winged figure could be seen hurrying towards this direction from the western sky.
It was none other than the Luxian Transcendent who reported to .
However, compared to what we could infer from his voice earlier, his current appearance could be seen as gravely injured with various wounds decorating his body.
Following behind him was a dark figure that was steadily gaining speed to catch up on him.
The figure was laughing hysterically. A black dagger was being held in his hand which eerily oozed out so kind of a Dark Aura.
That dagger. It reminded of that Dark Elf at the World of Spirits who tried attacking Yumiko with his poisoned dagger. Is he a…?
It didn't take long for that question to be answered.
When the dark figure fully ca into my view, the unique trait of a Dark Elf was the first thing I noticed. His long and pointed ears as well as his beautiful guy face.
"Run. Hehe! Continue running for your life. Let's see where you will take ."
Looking closely at the wounds on the Luxian Transcendent, it was clearly made by that dagger.
The Luxian Transcendent could only groan as he instacast a 6-nodes Light Elental Spell directed at his wings.
It shone with golden light before it pushed him forward, gaining a few ters of gap between him and the Dark Elf Transcendent.
However, the Dark Elf just spread the Dark Aura covering his body out. Like an arrow being shot from a bow, it instantly caught up behind the flying Luxian.
Once that Aura touched his back, the Dark Elf made a swift motion of stabbing his dagger forward.
"Ack!"
The Dark Aura which was extended from his own body stabbed the Luxian's back as his blood instantly spilled out from him.
"Guh!"
The Luxian could only groan in extre pain. He endured that wound to cast another Light Elental Spell to pull away from him.
He was successful and he's finally approaching our location.
"This world is great. A Transcendent Prey right off the bat. I will be enjoying thi--"
Before the Dark Elf could finish his sentence, a thick Water Elental Energy instantly enclosed the place he just passed and the pressure from it made him stop from following the Luxian.
Fleur that was concealed by the use of the Orb of Concealnt revealed herself, gripping her branch staff. Her Domain instantly materialized and put the Dark Elf Transcendent under its influence.
Upon seeing that, the Luxian Transcendent's eyebrows relaxed.
On his lips, a grin ford before he cast another spell which instantly covered himself in golden light. It's a Light Elental Spell that probably has the effect Purification. The light cleansed his body of the poison from the Dark Elf's dagger.
After that, he continued on to widen the gap between him and the halted enemy. Once the Purification Ended, he turned around and faced the Dark Elf as he pulled out his own weapon, two daggers which were adorned with so kind of crystal on its hilt. One look and it's clear as day that those crystals are Energy Output enhancers.
"I see. Did you lure here for an ambush?"
The Dark Elf Transcendent cackled as his grin beca even more hideous contrary to his beautiful face.
He turned around and stared at Fleur that was covered with her Elental Energy while ignoring the battle-ready Luxian Transcendent behind him.
The four Strings of her Transcendent Pathway were floating around Fleur and were in the process of copying the Elental Spell she was currently casting.
"Not really. He lured you towards your grave."
Fleur who seldom shows emotion on her face had a mocking expression as she stared back at the enemy.
As soon as she finished saying that, Five similar Water Elental Spells were unleashed and hod in towards the Dark Elf. It was the spell that she used on before.
Five Ice Sharks swam through the sky and aid to take a bite of him. The intensity of the five showed that it's more than what she showed back then.
"That's a poor execution of an ambush, gorgeous lady. Let show you the difference of a Higher World Transcendent to soone like you."
With a smirk, the extended Dark Aura from his body retracted and poured in front of him, creating a silhouette of himself.
By putting it in front of him, the five Ice Sharks were blocked and instead of going further to chew him out, they bit on his Dark Aura-turned silhouette which sohow solidified itself and acted like him.
Soon enough, the Elental Energy holding the form of the sharks dispersed and they crumbled into ice shards.
Upon seeing that, the Dark Elf laughed even more hysterically that his saliva could be seen splashing out from his mouth. He then positioned himself to launch towards the stationary Fleur, calling back that Dark Aura to rge back with him, his Dark Energy oozed out of him disturbing the Elental Energy in the surroundings.
