The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 514 Legacy (2)

As the blue Swordforce gathered on the Willful Sword, the awakened consciousness of it hummed in existence along with the properties it had already absorbed.

Following that, my body moved and instantly traversed the distance between me and the Gold Automaton guarding the Administration Tower's entrance.

Apart from the clear sound of my sword hitting its body – not stabbed or slashed – I reappeared behind the Gold Automaton with my Willful Sword already calmed down and sheathed.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The Gold Automaton turned around and was about to hit me with his paddle-like weapon. However, millimeters before it arrived, the Gold Automaton stopped in place as loud clanking sounds rang out from the interior of its body.

A few more seconds later, the Gold Automaton tumbled down, disabled completely.

"Hmm? Am I lucky or what? This Gold Automaton's transceiver is in its torso. I am expecting him to slow down so I can execute the other two Sword Skills. Too bad, it's already disabled." I shook my head as I extended my Energy Senses to check onto the downed Gold Automaton.

After making sure that it was disabled, I faced forward and began walking inside the Administration Tower.

The Sword Skill that I used appeared quick and simple. However, it's also something that needs precise Energy Control and Strength. If my attack didn't hit with precise accuracy, or even if it was even a little bit off, the chance for it to be neutralized was high. That's why it's a Sword Skill best used on unaware enemies.

Rupture. From its name, it's easy to understand that it's a Sword Skill that attacks my target's interior. If successfully hit, my Swordforce would seep into even the smallest opening to invade my target's body before exploding inside.

It was slightly similar to the Energy Explosion but I didn't need to stab my sword deeply since the Swordforce itself would find its way inside.

If the enemy had abundant Source Energy in his or her body, he or she could use it to defend against the Rupture that wouldn't be activated instantly because it still needed to spread for maximum damage.

However, because it's a Swordforce, it's totally offensive that if one was weak or not fast enough, even if the enemy noticed it invading his body, he would still suffer from it.

It's just one of the two Sword Skills that I thought up. Looking at the corner of my eyes, the Sword Skill window that I left open turned from 5 to 6 and from 80% to 90% in an instant.

I registered it and the System in the form of 'The World' Incarnation accepted it.

The System-type Pathway was the one that provides the ultimate ease of skills if you factored out the restrictions placed on the System provided by the World itself.

And because I still hadn't created my Sword Path, my Sword Skills were still somewhat attached to it.

Due to that… it was actually possible for me to activate a Sword Skill without even the use of Swordforce. It's like the Knight Skills, Wizard Spells or Priest Blessings.

It wouldn't be as strong as when I was doing the stance and visualizing the Sword Skill in my mind but it's enough to be used in an urgent situation.

Just like at this moment…

Whooosh! Whooosh!

As soon as I stepped foot inside the Administration Tower, the double glass door that I entered from as well as the surrounding glass in different directions enclosing the place and served as walls glowed in bright light, engulfing the immediate surroundings before I could observe it completely.

Following that, four red warnings were coming from four different directions.

I immediately opened my Energy Senses and my Transcendent Aura to detect the source of those dangers.

"Legacy Acceptance, huh?! Isn't this a death trap?!"

I couldn't help but shout as my feet ejected me from the ground.

Despite being blinded by the light, I fully utilized my Adaptability and Advanced Energy Manipulation to first get out of the danger.

Following that, I spun once while continuously activating different Elemental Spells in the form of Shields made from different elements.

As I strained my ears to hear what's happening around me, the Elemental Shields all broke into pieces before a colorful beam of light homed towards me.

At this point. I was slowly getting adjusted to being blinded by the light. While only relying on my Energy Senses as well as my sense of hearing, I hastily activated a Sword Skill straight from my System.

BANG! pan(da-n0vel.c)om

Another explosion of light and the force of that collision sent me flying away.

I twisted my body and readied my feet to land on something.

A few seconds later, I felt my feet firmly planted on one of the pillars holding the towers upright.

Using the momentum created from that, I kicked my feet, sending me to one of the places that were still glowing in red from my Adaptability.

"Stop hiding in this blinding light!"

Energy Incarnate Transformation!

Phase!

Using the unique ability of my Transformation Skill, the colorful beam that should've pierced my body passed through and hit the pillar behind me.

I sheathed the Willful Sword back before using my arms to grab at the front.

As soon as I did that, I felt the cold touch of metal spreading to my senses.

What I grabbed was actually an automatic turret!

Before it could fire again, I jumped behind it. With my Energy Senses serving as the substitute for my sight, I began manually controlling the turret, aiming it at the other turret nearest to it.

I poured my Source Energy to make it reload faster and fired it just in time before it was hit by a colorful beam.

When I felt how it exploded into numerous pieces of metal, I somehow felt the waste of not taking it home and installing it in my mother's house.

Those colorful beams had the strength of a Rank 3 Transcendent's attack. It's enough to protect her against normal threats.

Well, there's no use mulling over it, I'm still not out of danger.

Since I fired the turret at another one before it got destroyed, I successfully disabled two red warning sources without being injured.

Should I praise myself?

Nah. It's still too early to say that and… why am I being proud of a simple achievement?

This was most likely the influence of living my life as a human. The emotions that could be said as artificial before had now turned into a real concept inside me.

Even if I was still cold towards my enemies, I could now feel the complete emotion of a human being… Totally unlike that time where Yuko and the other girls were my only priority.

If it's one of the heroes who went here or one of my girls… I'm afraid that they will either be heavily injured just from the initial attacks or died from it. In any case, that Artificial Intelligence most likely made this before. He then activated this when I expressed my plan to go here and get that Legacy. It's part of a separate test that he probably prepared for me.

"Well then, let's see what kind of tests are waiting for me. Although this was only for that condensed Chaotic Energy… I am willing to test my own prowess in this place." I loudly declared to let that Artificial Intelligence, who was probably watching this very bright room, hear it.

My Companions saw me defeating a Rank 3 Transcendent inside the Virtual Simulation but that's a brief fight that ended instantly when that guy became too confident of his ability.

In truth, ever since I recovered my memories, I hadn't exerted the full extent of my prowess yet.

Even when we're fighting against the Rank 3 Transcendents, I maintained a calculative mind to find the best way to defeat them without exerting too much. Besides, Nysia and my other Companions bore themselves to the danger of fighting them instead of completely relying on me.

And I liked that so I maintained myself to be in the Support Role that whole time.

Ambushing the Red Wolf Transcendent. Delivering the final attack on the Wind Elemental and preventing the Long-nosed Transcendent from escaping.

This time… My Companions aren't with me. I can only rely upon myself to complete this Legacy Acceptance and complete my Mortal Pathway.

Before the last two turrets fired their colorful beams, my body was already flying towards the third turret. Dodging the colorful beam before firing it to the other one manually. Just like the first two turrets, they ended up destroying themselves. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

In this way, the bright light dimmed down and my vision slowly returned. The first trial was completed.
