"These tanks might not be full but Yumiko and Jayna will be able to use them well if they have the Absorption Room from the World of ta. Ah. I can actually help Yumiko absorb so by using Energy Zone but Jayna has to attempt her Transcendence later so there will be no ti."
I picked up and put each tank littered on the ground inside the Necklace. Now that there's no more Source of Dark Energy, there's also no point leaving them here. Every Energy especially Higher Energy is a resource.
Now that they also have Flux Energy State, it will be easier for them to convert or absorb new energies.
"Great, they stored more of it here."
At one corner, I found a not-so-hidden storage room where more tanks filled with Dark Energy were stored. I already detected it earlier when I was searching for traps.
Picking this Portal Room clean by searching for any other hidden rooms will have to be done later. Helping them wrap up the things there cos first.
After storing all of it in the Necklace, I turned back and walked towards the Core Room
Upon seeing exit the room, the slumped down Dark Elf that was probably the one nad Elena scrambled to her knees to look at . With a hint of astonishnt in her voice, she ekly uttered while stuttering.
"E-eh? That fast? D-did you already close the Portal?"
No. I widened it further to let your Transcendents enter and conquer this world.
Ugh. This woman.
"Isn't that an obvious question? It's done. This world is finally free from your world's encroachnt. Anyway, stay there for a bit longer. It's ti to send back the reinforcents your subordinates sacrificed their lives for."
I passed by her without giving her a second glance.
Let her rethink her life decision. Once the Incarnations disappear, she'll really be alone in this foreign world where she would surely be considered the enemy of everyone.

"Jagu!"
Chee shouted while she spun and transford back to her true form to catch the falling Jagu.
He was sent flying by one of their opponent's attacks.
Since there were only seven of the Mortal Incarnations left when I left them earlier, they matched up one against one. Since they're a pair, the husband and wife they also took on a pair as their opponents.
Though the Formation was already lifted, they're still getting thrashed by the Mortal Incarnations.
Well, that's to be expected since their enemies were full-fledged Transcendents. Yuko also fought one before and she needed to use her system's Awakening to defeat that Smoke Giant.
On the other side, Rei and Ren were also fighting in pairs with their Golden Pixie form. Unlike the husband and wife who could be categorized as both Attacker, these twins were an Attacker and Supporter pair.
With Rei in charge of disabling their enemies, Ren will then go in to deal a blow against the disabled opponent.
Harlan on the other hand was laughing madly as he fought against one of the Mortal Incarnations in a brawl. With every punch, a part of the Incarnation's energy will be dispersed and in exchange for that, Harlan will bleed from every punch of his adversary.
The pair of Ezyn and Yse were the ones who were completely overwhelming their opponents. With two huge Dragons thrashing them until they got embedded deep in the ground, the two Mortal Incarnations already gave up as they waited for the final attack from the two.
Judging from this, only Jagu and his wife Chee needed so assistance. But knowing that guy's personality, he wouldn't ask for help at first, only when he deed it hopeless would he ask for one.
Well then, I better help Jayna or Yumiko first.
Since they already saw , they could deduce that I'm already done at what we were here for.
"Daisuke!"
Jayna shouted upon spotting coming to her side. There were already a few wounds around her body. It's not life-threatening, nonetheless, it made rush to her side and bathe her in both Physique and Spirit Boost.
When her opponent, Yulan, saw , she clicked her tongue as she instantly backed away from us and the sa thing happened to Remi.
These two were always quick on the uptake. Especially that Remi. She sighed and put down the blade in her hand as she jumped back to rejoin Yulan.
"Remi. What do we do?"
"What else? Him returning from there only ant one thing. He already closed the Portal."
Remi answered her while pointing her blade at .
Yumiko who got freed from their fight also moved next to , there was sweat lining up her forehead. The proof of how hard it was for her to fight soone like Remi. And that's not her real body.
"Daisuke, is it done?"
"Yes, I closed the Portal. The problem now is how to defeat them."
I nodded and reached for her hand. Using the three boosts on her, the used up Psyche Energy from the continuous summoning of a Higher Spirit got a refill.
"What if I told you I can let you off, saving both your ti and blood?"
Remi, with a hint of superiority in her voice, asked. Instead of Yumiko, she was staring at as if she determined that I'm the one in charge here.
Let us off, eh? Just how confident is she when she's just an Incarnation right now.
Ah. I'm also one so I can't really judge her. That superiority was already ingrained since she's way stronger than what she showed here.
"Why will you even do that?"
"I'm bored. There's no point fighting anymore when the Portal was already closed. Also, I hate it when I'm not in full power.
Remi shrugged and dispersed the materialized blade on her hand.
Too bad, I won't have the chance to descend here. However, with you here, it's easy to deduce that your real body is in another world, right? Who knows, I might run into you. When that happens, don't disappoint ."
And continuing from that, there's the clear interest in her eyes about wanting to face in battle.
Since she's offering to stop, this is better than being stubborn at defeating an Incarnation. Even if we win, that doesn't amount to anything.
"That's a valid point. However, I might disappoint you. I'm a lot weaker than you think."
"We all know who the Helpers are. You're soone unknown to us, yet you're here. What do you think that ans?"
Huh? I'm still unknown? So even if I reached Transcendence back at World of ta, my profile was still not reported? I guess they don't care about the natives, eh?
"That I'm good at hiding?"
"Don't make laugh. I will rember your appearance. I feel that I will be eting you soon."
Yumiko interjected with raised eyebrows. Her hostility this ti is higher than when they're locked in combat. And Jayna also has the sa look.
"Wait, Why does that sound like you're hitting at him?"
"Am I? I've never seen soone as interesting as him. Maybe I really am. What does that have to do with you two?"
How should I say this? It's the first ti for to encounter soone like her that was clearly on the enemies' side.
This might be the difference between the Mortal grunts and the Transcendents in their world. They're not just following orders.
To answer her, I pulled the two girls to my side by slipping my arms to their waists.
"They're my Companions. Of course, it will bother them. Besides, I doubt you'll be keeping your interest in soone from a lower world. In any case, if you really decide to end this conflict here. I will not mistreat you if I see you in the future."
"Well then, let's end it here. Don't die early on before eting ."
Remi didn't comnt on what I said and just concluded everything while showing a sowhat aningful smile.
However, the other Transcendent beside her looked unconvinced at her decision to just cease the fight altogether.
"Remi, what are you saying? I retreated not to give up but to coordinate with you"
"If you want to continue then feel free, Yulan. You're also useless, you can't even defeat a Mortal with your Transcendent strength."
While giving her a cold shoulder, Remi also scolded her for her ineptitude at defeating Jayna who's still just a Mortal who reached the threshold.
"Huh? You know they're not normal. She has a special fire. That guy too, his abilities empowered them."
I see. There's no way she will not notice Jayna's Earthfire but judging by how she called it, she doesn't have any knowledge about the Earthfire and its origin.
"So? Is that a valid excuse to not win against a Mortal?"
"Eh… No. Even so—"
"We will et them soon. Until then, don't reveal anything that might be used against you."
Haa. As I thought, she had another reason for stopping the fight. She refused to give us more information about them. Even if the effects were reduced, they were using their real skills and abilities. The effect will not divert that much to the original.
"I… Alright."
With that last sentence of Remi, Yulan's conceded and stepped back.
Remi then turned back to us or specifically to . Their figures have already started to disperse. Their Transcendent Incarnations slowly turned into motes of Dark Energy.
"Before we go, can you give your na?"
"Daisuke."
"Daisuke, huh? Well then, I will appreciate it if you also rember my na. Etch this in your mory. Remilia."
By the ti her na reached my ears, their figures had already vanished. The space where they were just standing beca filled with the Dark Energy contained from their Transcendent Incarnation.
