When the deep-blue hue of Fleur's Transcendent Spell faded, the Oceanic Prison and the five demonized Transcendents were nowhere to be seen.
Boris' Spell was disintegrated by the Transcendent Spell but the five weren't. At the last second, before they were engulfed by her spell, the five demonized Transcendents combined all of their Dark Energy or whatever it was they did to withstand it. Nonetheless, the five were still pushed back and took the full brunt of the Spell with their bodies. Their bodies, after being hurled upwards by it, dropped down to the ground which created a small crater where the five of them lay there, state unknown.
When Fleur's Transcendent Spell was unleashed, the ensuing battle or rather one-sided battle against the Dark World Mortals and Noxians paused since everyone got drawn with that srizing spell.
Well, they're not entirely drawn in but most of them felt the terrifying pressure through their bodies despite not being the target of it. All of them halted, be it allies or foes.
As soon as the enemy side grasped what had just happened, various shouts calling for their imdiate retreat filled the surroundings.
That's five of their Transcendents. The backbone they're leaning on in this battlefield. Since they're occupied with the Elentals and Luxians attacking their ranks, they couldn't confirm the state of the five Transcendents. Without any leader commanding them or any powerhouses who could save them, their morale fell to its lowest resulting in a lot of them calling for retreat.
And upon hearing that, the Protectors as well as the leading Elentals led the Arrow Formation themselves and cut down the enemies' retreating backs. Even when the clones on the other two Arrow Formations disappeared, they continued dominating the battlefield. So of them even broke through in the middle of chasing after the enemies' retreating backs.
Either way, even if the five Transcendents weren't hit by Fleur's Transcendent Spell, the result of this battle against Mortal Ranks will still be the sa. Unless they have a bunch of Rank 5 Mortals, they wouldn't be able to best a buffed army.
"Let check their states!"
Boris called out to before flying towards the crater where the five Transcendents dropped.
I nodded at him before turning my gaze down below, to Fleur who was being supported by my clone. Her disguised hair is disheveled and she's trying to catch her breath.
Since I probably lost consciousness inside the Virtual Simulation back then, I didn't notice how taxing it was for her to cast that Transcendent Spell.
Despite breaking through to the last small stage of the 1st realm of her Transcendent Pathway, the drain in her own Elental Energy was also enhanced along with the strength of that Spell.
It's not ideal to use that Transcendent Spell again unless her Energy Reserves grew a lot more than what she has now. However, its strength is truly undeniable. Too bad. It would be hard to practice casting it to raise its proficiency. Even if it didn't hit the ground, it cracked just from the Spell's terrifying strength. The world might break if she practiced it here.
While Boris was checking the five Transcendents, I had the clone pick her up and bring her to . Afterwards, the clone went down to continue supporting the Arrow Formation.
"… Did they die?"
Fleur asked after I replenished her used up energy with the two Boosts.
Since she's still slightly weak due to the drain, I still held her in my arms as we also went over to where Boris is.
"Apparently not yet."
The whip in Boris' hand glowed in azure light as he started casting another Water Elental Spell. This ti it's a 12-nodes one which is the strongest spell below a Transcendent. If the Transcendent Spell failed to kill them. Now that they're unconscious and defenseless, there's no way for them to survive it.
All five are still breathing, however, the bodies of those at the top are already a mangled-up ss.
Except for the last two at the bottom who were less injured due to the other three becoming a layer of shields for them, they're already a lost cause.
"They're still alive. Leave them to , master, Daisuke."
Boris eagerly said as he continued to draw in more Water Elental Energy to the Elental Nodes of his Spell.
Seems like soone's too eager to show off.
Well, I'll let him be. He had just beco a Transcendent. Everyone would have that desire to show off what they can do upon reaching that stage.
My skills and abilities are ready to support him if sothing goes wrong. Not that I doubt his capabilities but it's better to be sure.
Two minutes later, Boris' whip split into nine strips before it all transford to Sea Dragons. All of them lunged towards the small crater where the five Transcendents lie unconsciously while groaning in different intensities of pain.
And as soon as his Spell assaulted the five the Sea Dragons liquefied and drowned them inside their bodies. Their muffled screams entered our ears that even the weakened Fleur looked on at what fate befell them.
Hearing their dying screams might sound tragic but if we let them live then that's another headache we would be thinking about later. There's no point showing rcy on them.

"Darling, we launched a counterattack and broke the encirclent they put up. Rael, Emrel, and Oriel fought the three commanding Transcendents. Two died and one was captured. He's now being interrogated."
From a communication spell which lit up in front of , Sofiel's elated voice enthusiastically reported.
The battle ended and like what we did here, the other two territories launched their own counterattacks to break the encirclent made by the Noxians and Dark World Transcendents.
Since I still can't use a communication spell, I had Fleur reply to her and tell her what happened here. After that, Sofiel's voice ca again reporting what happened at Serenia.
Like at the other two territories, Hikari fought there, leading the Protectors and so of the Elites to battle while Arland remained at his Magus Tower preventing anyone from approaching.
With her copied Domain of Valor and Bulwark of Invulnerability, despite lesser than what I can give, it managed to make a difference. Her troops broke the encirclent but the Transcendents commanding the Mortal Ranks escaped hurriedly, leaving them to be butchered by the combined forces of Protectors and Human Race Elites.
Most likely they received reports of what happened at the other battlefields. They were ordered to go back before the sa fate befell them.
They're the ones who encircled the last three territories of this world's resistance, however, in the end, they lost big ti.
Midway through that battle, Hikari received a ssage from two of the Aristocratic Families of the Noxians. The seed of rebellion that was just sprouting back then has already reached the point where two of the Aristocratic Families expressed their desire to surrender or rather they wanted to expel the traitors of the world.
Along the ssage they sent was the accurate number of Transcendents who descended as well as the information about the true Leader of the Noxian who we never t. They're not sure so they wrote it as a guess that most probably, that Noxian Transcendent passed through the Portal to convert his Source Energy to Dark Energy.
For them to do this, it could be that these two families just wanted to preserve their position. Either way, chaos at their side is good for us.
With the Dark World there, they're no more than just cannon fodder they would send to die on the battlefield. And without a Transcendent appearing from their families, they're also below the families who have their Transcendents fighting along with the Dark World.
"Sounds like everything is going well but sohow, I feel that sothing's off."
I couldn't help but mutter upon hearing the reports and thinking about the goal of the Dark World.
"What do you an?"
Fleur creased her eyebrows as she tried to think of what could be wrong.
"It's too easy. They're not even rescuing their Transcendents. Even if they're from a higher world, it's an accomplishnt to beco a Transcendent."
"Now that you ntion it, we ambushed the first one to show up, killed another when they ambushed . Now, seven of them died and one was captured through this failed encirclent. But they're not reacting to it. What are they doing?"
"If the ssage those Aristocratic families sent were true, then they should still have more than 10 of them there. We also hadn't heard about the World's Will yet."
That World's Will, did sothing happen to her?
No, It's just an incarnation, we would've been inford by the World's Will if sothing happened to it. Then it's safe to assu that she's still searching for the Portal.
"Should we also help her look for the Portal?"
Fleur suggested.
"Master, I can go. I have my Unique Ability. It can help escape if soone stronger than appeared."
Boris presented himself but instead of answering, Fleur waited for .
"I don't think it's ideal to go out there alone. Let's wait for the World's Will before deciding anything. Also, we have to move everyone in one place. Being separated in three territories like this will be detrintal if they suddenly grouped up and go all out on one of the territories."
"It will be hard to move everyone… Also, Arland won't leave his territory."
Upon hearing my words, Fleur shook her head.
Right. Not everyone will like the idea of leaving their hos. Even if everyone can move to Aves, not everyone will be in favor of it.
We now have 9 Transcendents. 10 if I included the World's Will's Incarnation. With the current uncertainty which lingered in the Dark World's plan, it's hard to be complacent.
For now, let's check on the World of ta.
