"Entrusting my life with you..."
With that question, Fleur fell silent. Based on her current expression, she's currently asking herself the sa question.
Thinking about it, that's all it will probably take for soone to be my Companion. To entrust both of our lives with each other. The convergence of destiny which the Spirit Queen ntioned was just a representation of that.
Though she will be deciding on the notion that she can die anyti against the Dark World Transcendents, I will make sure that even if everyone here died from their assault. Sofiel and Fleur will live.
Over ti, Fleur's hand that was interlocked with mine tightened its grip. She lifted her face and stared straight at , that deep shade of red communicating to my very soul.
Before she could decide, I once again reaffird my feelings for her.
As she ca to a decision, Fleur decisively reached for my face. Sliding her hand from my cheeks to the back of my head, she pulled my head towards her at the sa ti that her head also went forward to et mine.
I guess this is how she wanted to answer, eh?
Though I'm aware of what was happening and what she wanted to do, I let her do it. This is the answer she arrived at.
Halfway through, her half-opened lips whispered sothing.
"I entrust my life to you. It doesn't matter if you entrust yours to as well. In this lifeti, there will only be you."
Right afterwards, Fleur's icy-bluish lips that were possibly influenced by her Main Elent overlapped mine. Though it was a bit cold, recalling the words she just whispered, I decisively returned her kiss along with my response to her answer.
And like what happened with Sofiel a few days ago, the similar sound and the series of notifications appeared.
[Rank 1 Transcendent Fleur has been added as your Companion.]
[Received a Passive Skill from Rank 1 Transcendent Fleur: Enhanced Water Elental Spells]
[Enhanced Water Elental Spells: A simple enhancent derived from Transcendent's ability which was shared to those connected to her. 20% additional power and efficiency to the experience gained for Elental Spell Proficiency.]
In the midst of savoring our overlapped lips and the occasional movents we were doing to feel it better, Fleur's Aura grew in power. Upon receiving the Support Bonus and the Passive Skill that was passed onto her from , she grew closer to conjuring her 5th ice-like Strings. Furthering her Transcendent Pathway.
And the sa as her, just like how I felt it when I added Sofiel as one of my Companions, the new Passive Skill further my understanding with the Elental Pathway.
As if it's only waiting for this point. Elental Energy instantly flooded our surroundings not just for her newfound strength but also for my Mortal Pathway that was stagnant for a while now.
As soon as the dense amount of Elental Energy was absorbed in my body, sothing was seemingly unlocked. Like a dam that was about to be full, the floodgates opened resulting in the overflowing Flux Energy to flow towards a new place. Due to the two Passive Skills which enhance my Elental Pathway, it carried up and to breakthrough from my current stage.
[Ding!]
[Advanced to Transford Spirit]
[Current Connection: 5 Rivers]
[Advanced to 5th Stage Saint Realm]
When the notification about my Physique Pathway appeared, the next ones paused for a while as if it's waiting for sothing.
And soon enough, I had to let go of Fleur's lips as another flood of Elental Energy filled up my surroundings.
Upon seeing that, Fleur nodded at . Her face has a hint of red which resulted from what had transpired between us. Understanding the situation I was currently in, she stepped back to give the space to . Just like what I did when her 4th String manifested.
After that, the 5th orb flew out of the Necklace and the last of my Augnted Skills, the Energy Slash, appeared in the form of a Scroll.
The Orb of Improvent shone brightly. The light emitted by it were then directed towards the Scroll, enhancing the Halo that will be made.
As soon as my 5th Halo ford, the series of notifications continued.

When the flood of energy settled, my new stage for every Pathway had completely stabilized. Looking at the updated page of my own status, I've finally broken through to more than 200 Power Level which was made possible both by my breakthrough this ti and the updated average base stats of the Heroes. Six out of fourteen already reached Transcendence after all. Also, two more will be once Boris and Hikari complete theirs. The other Heroes listed were also on their way to reach the threshold, most of them only needed one more small stage breakthrough and my Support Bonus got enhanced again, so of them might have reached it by now.
So in the following days, I can expect more stat increases from them along with the increase of their average stats. Though small, it's still a gain nonetheless.
As for the fifth Halo Spell, I kind of expected that it would result in that considering the nature of the Orb. However, upon transforming into a Halo, it's not just an offensive skill anymore. It can now be directed to a perceived ally. Like the other Halo Skills, everything has beco more or less a Support Skill except the Phantasmic Doppelganger.
But the way I used it to train the elites, it can also be categorized as a Support, right?
The road to becoming the Ultimate Support was already solidified. The question is… What's waiting for in the end?
"You broke through… And it's not even a normal breakthrough. All of your Pathways broke through at the sa ti…"
Fleur muttered as she approached my position once again. With the way she said it, there's a slight hint of awe in her voice.
"It's thanks to you, Fleur. Let et your parents once more."
I circled my arms to her back and pulled her in an embrace. Her usually expressionless face was now showing her bashfulness. Nevertheless, her arms also moved to embrace after a bout of deliberation in her mind.
After becoming my companion, she's becoming conscious of our interaction towards each other as it now has more aning than before.
"… Un. I also planned to bring you to them and ask for their blessings. The Elentals have that tradition."
Tradition, eh? It's almost the sa as those on Earth.
Either way, Fleur becoming my companion this ti elevated her stats and made her a lot stronger than she was before. The gap between her and Arland increased once more putting her up next to Sofiel in this world.
In terms of my Companions, she's next to Sofiel and Nysia who has the Orb of Protection. Yuko and Yumiko will also be able to contend against them through the use of their Unique Abilities. But yeah, they really needed to spar against each other to determine who's the strongest.
Err… Gathering them together cos first. Also, I don't want them to have a conflict with each other. Though there will be so jealousy to the ti I spent with soone, it can't be helped for now. We still have a lot of issues to resolve here.
Naly, the Dark World Transcendents and their Noxian minions. With this increase in our strength just now, the upcoming confrontation with them is sothing I now look forward to.
