The Ultimate Support Character

During the two days that have passed, a lot has happened to the structure of the Primeval Aegis League.

From Core Pilots down to the Regular Members, the organization has undergone a silent upheaval. Without revealing what happened behind the scenes, many members disappeared, never to appear again which were only known by the few trusted members such as Lexie and those who were with her since the foundation of the organization.

Nysia along with a few trusted subordinates started their hunt of those connected to the enemies starting from the two Executives she managed to sniff out upon reading my report.

Among the Core Pilots, there were also some of them that were proven to be a snake by laying out baits like loose information about the captives. They tried to assassinate them to silence the four.

Through those baits, a number of them were cleansed and because of that, the snakes started becoming careful by limiting their movements.

Appointing Lexie as the Chief Executive, Nysia passed her the power to approve most of the decisions but all of it will still need to pass before her eyes. It's just creating an illusion that Nysia stepped back to being just the figurehead when everything will still be decided by her.

Though Lexie could be clumsy just like that time during my assessment, she's the one closest to her, like a little sister and someone with a huge sense of responsibility. That's also why Nysia was fond of her.

Of course, before deciding that, Nysia recounted and recalled all of Lexie's history. She's clean through and through that, the possibility of her being a Sleeper Agent was close to 0.

Some might still be paranoid from that but for Nysia and me, 5% is the threshold. If she starts suspecting those closest to her, the organisation will just start to crumble by itself even without those snakes meddling. That's why everyone who has been with her since the start was given the benefit of the doubt.

"Head!"

One Core Pilot stood in attention and saluted before opening a secret door which led to the containment facility where the Emissary of the Dark and the Minowa Triplets was held.

Apart from Lexie and a few Core Pilots and Researchers, no one knows about the room.

White walls like any other room but this time with dim lights, there were certain machines and apparatuses used for observations and similar functions all around. Also some capsules for Virtual Simulation.

At one side of the room were four containment cells where the one-way glass was put in place to see what's happening to the captives inside.

Since their clothes were changed to be identical to each other, it's now hard to tell one from the other. Though they looked haggard, there were no wounds that could be seen from them. The Dark World denizen, on the other hand, was already half-dead as he kept laughing at his containment cell.

If that guy died, the three will possibly die as well but considering their current condition, they're probably cooperating for the slightest hope of someone that could remove those cubes in their chest before the Dark World denizen died.

The three have a strong will to live, otherwise, they wouldn't ask an enemy to treat their sister who was just unconscious due to depletion of energy.

Ah. If they couldn't get him to talk, I might have to let my dark thoughts take over again. It's a Persona that's a real mystery within me.

"Any results?"

Nysia asked the Head Researcher in charge of the place. He's an old man full of wrinkles and a head with only a handful of hair left.

"The three have already been squeezed dry of their information after putting them to every simulation possible to extract it."

He then pulled out a tablet pc and gave it to Nysia. Inside it was the recordings as well as the confession the three made separately through the Virtual Simulation. Their stories checked as well as the information they uttered. Though there were some diversions, the overall story aligned.

Like what I guessed, the story about being bought was false. They're not vagrants but from one of the countries included in the Confederacy. Their Rank in the military was equivalent to an Elite Member before they were recruited to join that Order of the Dark Host by someone they named but when it was searched in the database of the Confederacy, no one was named nor had an alias like that.

It could be a lie but they described his appearance and when they checked the database based on the description they provided, someone at the Executive-level at the Confederacy turned up but he's now missing according to his status.

However it didn't stop at that, he was also recorded in both Eldur and the Empire.

According to the triplets, he introduced himself as Rabedun and he always appeared in dark clothes, on his left hand was an insignia of the Order.

They were asked to draw the Insignia of it and they all drew the same thing.

About the training camp and everything they told us at that time, they just repeated it.

That they're the top of a batch of Rank S soldiers who trained for two years under them. About the history of the secret organization, their knowledge about it could be considered as just ankle-deep. They know the name, the training camp, the person who recruited them, the deployment and that they're colluding with the Dark World.

Other than that, they're clueless. Whether the Anzeans were also included or who's the one behind the secret organization.

After reading and checking everything, Nysia passed me the device, she wanted me to check it again later in case she missed something. Rumors about us were already widespread among the League members that's why even if some were surprised that I was following her, none of them asked why. That rumor actually became the smokescreen for her cleansing of the League ranks. The members were focused on it rather than the disappearances of some of the members.  And anyone who would spread about that disappearances will also be taken and interrogated. Though some of them would turn out to be curious ones, there were still others that were caught as a member.

"What about him? If he dies, those three might die as well."

"That… he could resist the simulation. No matter what scenario, he couldn't be affected by it. That's why he was put in physical torture instead and we couldn't get anything from him."

The Head Researcher had a helpless expression as he shook his head. He already gave up.

"Why don't you let me try? Just that, I don't need any spectators."

I suggested which resulted in the Head Researcher's raised eyebrows. He didn't retort in consideration of Nysia but he looked at her asking for confirmation.

"Grant him what he wanted. I'll stay with him to get first-hand information in case he succeeds."

"Y-yes. Right away!"

Hearing her answer, the old man and his subordinates vacated the room. The triplets' containment cells couldn't see what's happening outside so they're fine to be left there.

It's been a while since I let it surface. I just wonder how dark will I go this time.

"Are you sure you want to see?"

I asked Nysia. Though I told them about it, as much as possible I don't want the girls to see me in that state.

"Un. No matter how dark you become, I might still be worse than you. The things I did to survive…"

"Alright. I'll enter his containment cell. Disable his restraint also, let them watch. Who knows, they might still be clinging to hope that even if they didn't give everything, they would be saved."

Nysia nodded and did everything I asked. When the triplets saw that they could see outside, they all looked at us but neither Nysia nor me gave them as much as a glance. They could see but they wouldn't be able to hear anything.

After entering the containment cell, I also lost sight of what's happening outside.

When that Dark World denizen saw me entering, he looked up and laugh despite his cracked voice from the torture he received.

"So now they sent that woman's plaything? This is laughable. Just kill me already. You won't get anything from me."

"Do you not know? I am one of those you called Helpers."

When he heard the word I used, his ears perked up. No matter how I looked at him, that dark hair and dark skin, he might not look like the Dark Elves but he's closer to those Dark Beastmasters, especially the three 2-star Beastmasters I used to further corrupt that Barbarian before.

"You? Don't joke with me. You're clearly a denizen of this world."

"I see. Then will this prove it to you?"

By revealing my origin to him, it confirmed that I'm still not detected by them. Well, it could be that he's just too low level to be given new information about the Helpers.

On my palm, a ball of Psyche Energy was produced. It's not a Psyche Boost but just about 20 units of it made into a small ball.

"You recognized this energy, right? What do you think? Normally it could refresh one's mind if I use this on anyone but I could also use this to force out the Source Energy inside you or maybe corrupt you."

"Y-you… just kill me!"

Though he was surprised, the result was the same. The appearance of the Psyche Energy might've proven my claim but only that wasn't enough to make him talk.

"Alright. Let me experiment on you. You also don't need to shout again, I won't grant that wish of yours. I have these too after all."

Upon saying that, two more balls of energy were formed from my palm. Physical and Spirit Boost.

I waved my hand and the two balls flew towards him, instantly covering his body. As soon as it settled, his wounds that were still oozing out blood visibly closed and his complexion turned for the better.

It's not a heal but those boosts could somehow amplify? Right. That should be the term since it's not adding stats. It's amplifying his Strength and Endurance which could lead to temporary natural strength and regeneration.

That's why that girl from the competition could somehow recover from the pain when I used Spirit Boost on her.

Err… I'm not planning to use anything Physical on this guy but I can spare at least 500 units of Psyche Energy to let him feel how it was to be corrupted by an unknown Energy Source and something that was seemingly higher than their own Dark Energy.

This probably wouldn't work that well on those stronger or close to me in stats because of the current state of Psyche Energy. That's why I'll do this experiment to him who's just a Gold-rank.

I smiled and turned towards the guy. His haughtiness from earlier was suddenly transformed to his fright towards me that he couldn't help but gulp his saliva down. Whether my smile could be seen as evil or not. I don't know, I don't have a mirror here. In any case…

"Well then, let's start. Shall we?"
