BXBX NOVEL Chapter 430 Assisting The Five Otherworlds (2)
"Dai-kun, see you soon." Yuko smiled at me before stepping inside the Portal in front of her.
Following her were Reinys, Caila, Noelle and the two Elemental Transcendents. Their destination was Sunohara Lulu\'s Otherworld, the World of Fairy.
To maximize the Hero\'s party buff from her System, the three would naturally tag along with her.
Unfortunately, the slots of her Party were limited to five. With Zerina and I taking up the last two, she couldn\'t add more people to benefit from its bonus.
In contrast to my Support List, the difference in our System was too huge.
Well, she\'s a Hero and I\'m a Support so it makes sense that her System wasn\'t geared toward enhancing her Party Members.
After telling them to take care and to contact me later, their group entered the Portal which instantly closed behind them after the last of the Mortal Rank following them entered.
"Darling… Before we go, I want a kiss. You took your time coming back and now we\'ll be separated again." Pouting as she sauntered towards my position, Sofiel flapped her two fluffy-looking wings in undisguised excitement.
She\'s the leader of her group that would go to Chiba\'s Otherworld. Unlike Yuko who could restrain herself from showing her affection, Sofiel was always like this ever since reuniting with me in this world.
Catching her in my arms, I gave her what she requested which made the women giggle adorably.
However, once our lips separated, the other girls who would follow her to that Otherworld also asked for the same treatment.
Erin was as straightforward as always, taking Sofiel\'s place as soon as she left my embrace while Lunaria bashfully tugged at my sleeves when Erin separated from me, fully satisfied.
The three of them will be accompanied to that Otherworld by Old Man Reol, Hikari and Rael, one of the three Luxian Transcendents.
Telling them the same reminder I told Yuko, their group entered the Portal which closed immediately after entering. The Principal was maintaining those Portals after all. To save on the Energy Consumption, he didn\'t repeat his stunt earlier of keeping all four Portals opened.
Because of that precedent made by Sofiel, Yumiko and Jayna who would go together with the dragon couple and the others from World of Spirit also jumped in my arms before stepping inside the Portal.
Yumiko who\'s already out of her revealing shrine maiden outfit confidently smiled reassuring me that they would be fine. Her current strength had been enhanced now that she awakened an ability to support her Spirit Channeling.
Nonetheless, like Sofiel, she\'s grumbling about the less time we spent together. That\'s why like the previous two, she made use of this little time to cling closely to me, satiating her hunger for my affection. On the other hand, Jayna\'s eyes were already brimming with her overflowing curiosity for the new world they would set foot in. Treating my kiss to her as a charm of protection, the curious girl pulled Yumiko who\'s still reluctant to let go of her embrace to me.
After planting another kiss on her lips and whispering promises that I would fulfill after this, Yumiko was finally energized and satisfied as she led their group towards the Portal to Akamine\'s Otherworld.
They only consisted of four Transcendents since Arland, Boris and one Luxian Transcendent named Emriel would stay behind in this world.
That\'s why to ensure their safety or just to ease my worry for the two, I ordered my Avatar to follow them.
In the last group before mine, it would be led by the two Rank 2 Transcendents Nysia and Irja with Elise supporting them. To complete their lineup the two Human Transcendents, Old Man Elmer and Armel as well as one Luxian Transcendent named Oriel would follow them.
Their destination would be Iida\'s Otherworld. According to the Principal, it was the Otherworld that was on the verge of being conquered next to Hiroda and Lulu\'s Otherworld.
Copying those who already left, the three women also walked towards me. Nysia flaunted her status as the only wedded wife by pulling me in her embrace instead of jumping into mine. Irja who\'s still somewhat satisfied with our time earlier restrained herself while keeping up her tsundere attitude. However, before she walked away, she silently asked for a hug before whispering to me her vow to finish her job there earlier to quickly return to my side. These days, she\'s more on deredere now rather than full-on tsuntsun.
As the strongest among my Companions, that vow of hers would surely be completed. Just like that time when Yuko made a short work of the Anzean Transcendent and his loyal subordinates.
Lastly, although Elise was still somewhat reserved when there were other eyes around us, after seeing the other girl\'s example, a feeling of not wanting to lose out emerged from her.
After seeing them off and watching the Portal closed behind them, I turned around to check on the girls who will go with me.
Zerina, Avelin, Leianne, Dannae and Fleur.
With our lineup consisting of two Rank 2 Transcendents, wrapping up that world would also be a breeze as long as there\'s no unforeseen circumstance that will happen.
Like before, our objective only consisted of two things. Closing the Portal and dealing with the Dark World Transcendents.
There\'s Hiroda as the Hero and their denizens who will rebuild their world after we remove the threats.
Even if we failed to kill every Transcendent, reducing their numbers was enough. Hiroda was there and perhaps some other native Transcendents who would hunt down those who would flee, just like with Yotsuki\'s world.
"Well then, Principal. We\'re going."
Without waiting for his reply, I led the five women and walked inside the glaring portal.
We all have the Portal Skill to go back to the World of Elements. As soon as we finished our task, Aves would be our gathering place before the Principal opens the Portal to Earth.
We still have one week but well, that\'s plenty of time to finish everything.
As soon as my vision turned white, the familiar notifications entered my ears.
[You left the World of Elements]
[World Bonus has expired]
[You entered a new world, World of Magic]
[A new Source Energy has been identified]
[Magical Energy(Mana) has been categorized as Elemental-type Source Energy]
[You received 0.5 Intelligence as World Bonus]
[Will expire upon leaving the world]
"Ready. Fire!"
A roaring shout followed by the yellow warning from my Adaptability was suddenly triggered as soon as my vision cleared up.
This world… We\'re being ambushed right off the bat, huh?
Before their attacks reached us, I instantly scanned the area to check upon my Companions and the Mortal Ranks from the Elementals and Luxians who followed us.
The five girls were all prepared. Fleur had even instacast some Elemental Spells targeting towards the direction where she was looking. Avelin pulled out her greataxe and instantly summoned her four beast Pillar Guardians to tank the attacks and counterattack. Zerina activated a three-word Rune instantly calling upon a terrifying storm right on top of the enemies. Leianne and Dannae then teamed up as the latter amplified the former\'s ability as she sent down a blizzard.
Before I knew it, the yellow warning sign was resolved even before I could activate the Nullification Zone, Sanctuary and Bulwark to protect all of us.
Whoever are these people that attacked us without naming themselves or giving out any reason, there\'s no point showing mercy to them. They\'re aiming to kill us after all.
