In less than ten seconds after I let my Transcendent Aura burst forth and stretched it to its limit, it was eventually t by another Transcendent Aura.
Obviously, that one was released by the Rank 3 Transcendent currently on the other side of this world. He must've been shocked as his Transcendent Aura felt like it was hastily conjured with enough rage to make my Companions grimace even if they're protected by my own aura.
Battling it head-on, I noticed how his Transcendent Aura was overwhelming, rampageous even. He released it with the clear aim of trampling over mine. Most likely, he found it impertinent that sobody else suddenly made a show of force. He hadn't thought that there would be another Rank 3 Transcendent near him and it must've made him furious. Furious enough to even start rushing over here.
That's right. He's now on his way to intercept us even though I hadn't soared through the skies yet.
Having been told of their task at hand, Yuko and the others were still preparing but they were more than ready to engage another Rank 3 Transcendent in a battle if need be.
Thinking about his appearance that I spied earlier as well as considering how most people from a Physique-type World were muscleheads, this kind of behavior he's showing was fairly natural. Even my Erin tried to ask for a duel the day we first t just to prove how strong she was.
In any case, it's too bad for this scar-faced Rank 3 Transcendent, whatever he's planning to do by rushing over wouldn't happen.
As soon as I felt that resistance coming from him, I exerted a little more Energy Control, stabilizing and strengthening my Transcendent Aura, halting his supposed domination over mine. My Companions as well as the dragon couple's expressions relaxed as they stopped being influenced by his Transcendent Aura.
Nonetheless, I stopped at a level where he would be crushed. We're not here to clash against these foreign Space Vessel Fleet. Moreover, it's not a sound strategy to put an opponent that I planned to fork information out be in dire straits right away.
Even if we could stand our ground against them, this Mortal World could very well say goodbye to existing if the fleet consisting of more than fifty Space Vessels rained down attacks on it.
With my Transcendent Aura matching the opponent's evenly, a silent yet chaotic invisible battle began between us. Even though there's not a direct clash yet, sparks and streaks of lightning almost rendered the visible space to crackle from the intensity.
Nonetheless, that was all flair. It could make soone faint if they got hit in the middle of it but there's no backing force with that clash.
"… Whoever that is, he's strong enough to make Dai-kun smile in excitent."
I heard Yuko comnt from behind while my other Companions who were close to our current level nodded in agreent.
Am I smiling? Perhaps.
That's because the scar-faced Transcendent was on another level than those three Rank 3 Transcendents who invaded Earth or the Energy Clones I encountered before.
He's also close to being a Rank 4 Transcendent. If they sparred with him in a virtual space, more than 90% of the ti, they would lose. Yes, even Yumiko with her Spirit Channeling would lose.
Well, like I ntioned, we didn't necessarily have to fight each other. If he could co down for a conversation with , there's no reason to turn this Mortal World into a battlefield for fairly strong or rather, destructive Transcendents such as us.
"Do I look like a battle-maniac, Yuko?"
"Maybe? Back in our previous life, you always said you were only going to accompany us but before we knew it, half of the world was already chasing for our life."
When the others heard that, they all started laughing and giggling. Dannae even said, "That sounds like typical Daisuke. When he had just gotten out of the Door of Transcendence, he didn't hesitate to confront and challenge the two, established Transcendents of our world."
Nysia chid in, "I was planning to rush over that day! Husband is a complete battle maniac!"
However, with the way she said it, the girl was taking a jab at which resulted in more laughter.
"That's not my fault! There were just worlds where those second generations didn't know any better than to drag their world down by being arrogant when their capabilities were just so-so. And Nysia, I'm not a battle maniac. You all know I mostly fight a battle I can definitely win."
The only battles I ca out defeated were those hopeless ones. Right, just like that ti with Remilia. It's not even a fight…
With all of them becoming relaxed, I soon told them to prepare and move out.
And around five minutes later, I could finally sense the approaching Rank 3 Transcendent.
While the others scattered to get to their task while guided by the Incarnation of the World's Will, I led the three won I picked and soared through the sky, charging through the airspace to et the Rank 3 Transcendent halfway.
As soon as we reached a certain distance, the scar-faced Transcendent stopped and hovered in the air, his arms crossed haughtily while his eyes stared down at .
He didn't even give the girls around so much as a glance. It's as though they're insignificant.
What arrogance. Should I at least take him down a peg or two before negotiating with him?
His murderous focus settled down on , most likely trying to see if I would be uncomfortable with it.
Unfortunately, I felt nothing of the sort.
With my mories, I t so much more frightening existence, whether they're Source Energy beings or not. Since he's only around my current level, there's no way I would be intimidated, much less be afraid.
"Who are you?"
"No. Who are you? I don't recall inviting a Space Vessel Fleet into this Mortal World. Even more so, you started digging its surface. What's your objective?"
eting his strong front with the sa intensity, I firmly put my act as though I was a guardian of this world. Zerina, Reinys and Lunaria flew forward as though they were ready to unleash a storm of attacks at my command.
I very much like to see how much they have improved but it's not the right ti yet.
Besides, like what I suggested earlier, they took on the sa intimidating stance while staring outside or specifically at the Transcendents watching us from inside their Space Vessels.
Understanding that I wouldn't just beco a pushover, the scar-faced Transcendent took a mont to observe us. He seed to be communicating telepathically as though hearing a report from soone else.
A while later, he refocused his gaze on and an overwhelming force suddenly bloated with him as a center, trying to engulf the four of us.
This guy. He chose violence, huh? Can he even afford to test us?
Anyway, I was about to see that when I heard Zerina's voice echoing in my mind.
"Daisuke, let . Just watch over and support with your buffs."
As soon as her voice ended, Zerina leaped forward and unsheathed her short swords, easily slashing out the thick visible force. It easily cracked and shattered like glass, making a new uncorrupted space for her.
Following that, her gray-colored domain spread open and her four gray armored Pillar Guardians were summoned around her, their bodies glowing in Runic Symbols as their flowing black capes fluttered against the wind.
