As the Luxians rained down Light Elemental Spells from above, those whose specialty was melee combat charged dived down to engage the Dark World Mortal Ranks who were wielding their inherent Dark Energy to gain a slight advantage.

Among them were Jagu and his wife Chee as well as the twins; Rei and Ren. Looking at them, they had improved from their short time in this world.

All four were already 4-seas Noble Spirit. Because of their unfamiliar method of fighting which even involved for them to trigger their Transformation Skills, those fighting them were overwhelmed, be it a Dark World denizen or a Noxian.

Well, Jagu and Chee just transformed back into their real form as four-legged giant Spirit Beasts. By utilizing their Seas along with their advantage in size, they're causing bigger disarray to the enemies' formation.

Those who marched from the 4 Races were only the Elites and perhaps not everyone came joined in resulting in their numbers to be only a tenth of the remaining defenders. If they wanted to win against them, each one of them needed to defeat or kill 10 enemies.

Unfortunately, there were also Rank 5 Mortals left from the Dark World denizens as well as those from the Aristocratic Families who hadn't defected yet. They were the ones who took up command, rallying those lower ranks to repel and defend their home.

As someone who already had a keen eye especially when it comes to the flow of energy, it's easy to pinpoint those who could change the tide of the seemingly balanced battle.

And funnily enough, those I just mentioned moved as I expected.

From behind the Elites, a sudden surge of Energy ensued before two enormous shadows loomed over the area followed by the startling aura of two Ruler Spirits.

With their Spirit Domains expanding from their bodies, the Dark World Mortals and the remaining Noxian defenders had their eyes peeled when Ezyn and Yse's real form as a couple of Azure and Silver Dragon swooped down, grabbing four of the Rank 5 Dark World Mortals commanding the remaining defenders while their Ocean manifested and delivered a pair of wide-area Energy Blast, creating chaos among the enemies.

"Great job!" Old Man Elmer's old voice applauded upon witnessing Ezyn and Yse's timely maneuver.

It's already been close to a month since the couple arrived in this world. Through their continuous training together, Ezyn and Yse already integrated themselves with the Elites. By using their real forms as a Spirit Beast, a lot of the Elites liked to spar with them.

Well, it's not like there were no wild beasts in this world but with the current state of the world, they were left alone in the forests, mountains and some other parts devoid of any inhabitants.

Following up onto the two dragons' wake, the Old Man flew up high as his Output Enhancing Equipment in the form of a wand conjured his famed Wind Elemental Spell: Searing Hurricane.

Scores of Dark World denizens, as well as Noxian defenders, were instantly caught up by the hurricanes before being burned from its extreme heat.

With some of the Rank 5 Mortals commanding them taken away by the two terrifying dragons, the previously sturdy defense they were putting up started to have holes in their formation, add the chaos brought by Old Man Elmer and the other Elites who reached the threshold following after them, the balance started to tip towards the 4 races' Elites.

At this point, I stopped watching what's happening to do the purpose of cutting my connection from the avatar. Although it was from the mouth of a descendant who's probably not privy enough to the matters of a Great One, by all the information I gathered about my past self, it's probably true. Getting back my memory to prove it was just for confirmation.

I stood up and pulled Yuko to the side, the girls understood that it must be important so none of them bothered to ask and kept their eyes on the screen.

"I learned something from the descendant." I started.

Yuko blinked her eyes twice before smiling as if she's expecting this conversation with us.

As always, she used a part of her ability again.

"Based on the sense of urgency in your voice, it's about our past, am I right?"

"Not necessarily since I haven't confirmed it yet but…"

Before I finished Yuko stepped forward and grabbed my hand, "So it was really about that. Dai-kun, why do I sense some kind of guilt from your voice?"

Although we often talk about things that bothered us both, I guess this was the first time since that day that Yuko expressed her worry about me. "Is it that noticeable?"

"Un. For me, it is. Will you tell them about it?"

"I have to. No, I think they needed to know it now rather than wait until I get my memories back."

The time frame fits and… they had the right to know about it.

That the reason their worlds were devastated and attacked by the Dark World denizens was me. Or rather, the possibility is high that it was because of me.

"I see. If it's really something that can make you feel guilty even with your Adaptability then whatever you learned had a larger scope than any other information you got." Yuko smiled and embraced me like a child as she started caressing my head. "It's inevitable, right?"

More than a larger scope of information, it's more because it concerned them. Most of them lost a loved one because of the Dark World's invasion.

"I'm afraid they will hate me."

Adaptability or not, only something that concerned them would move me. In any case, even if I fear that, I would still not keep it from them.

Upon hearing my words, Yuko tightened her embrace. Even without me directly telling her about it, for sure, she had her hunch, given that she could foresee things in the future. "Believe in us, Dai-kun. We're your Companions."

Among them, those who were most affected were Zerina, Reinys and Fleur. Zerina lost her mother and perhaps even her father because of the Corrupted. Reinys lost that brother of hers by being Corrupted and Fleur lost half of their home and her master due to the invasion.

Will they really take it easy just because I'm their Companion?

Well, if I only kept on overthinking, nothing would be solved. Before going back to Earth and taking them all with me, I will tell them about it.

Six hours later, the battle down below and the last resistance of the Dark World denizens died down with an obvious winner being the 4 Races' Elites.

When the last of the Dark World denizens and the Aristocratic higher-ups died, a lot of Noxian kneeled down in surrender. There's no point killing them anymore. Since they're the natives of this world, I let Sofiel, Fleur and Arland decide. In the end, they let those Noxian Elites decide for their fellow Noxians' fate.

After Yumiko and the others arrived, my Companions who had just reached Transcendence went out to take down the remaining Transcendents who remained hidden inside the Central Area.

Well, they wanted the experience so by ordering my Avatar again, he escorted them to the place where the two Heroes were still fighting against five Transcendents.

Those five composed of those Transcendents at the Portal Location who escaped after my Avatar arrived as well as that Dark Beastmaster whose Soul-bound Beast was killed by me and the two Dark Soldiers who rushed over to that Dark World Zone as reinforcements, only to be shot down by Jayna's Vermillion Bow.

Through my Avatar's eyes, I saw how the already advantageous battle of the two Heroes against those five became totally one-sided when the seven women arrived.

Noelle and Dannae served as the support when the former used her Blessings as well as skills from her System and Ability while the latter used her Amplification and other related abilities, to further enhance the others Energy Output.

Caila, Leianne and Elise then made use of their close combat skills. Even without the Metagen, the Imperial Princess and the Light Maiden made use of their abilities to restrict their targets while the Grand Knight made use of her Guardian Pillars to deny them the chance to retaliate or escape.

And lastly, Reinys and Lunaria provided support fire from a distance. The latter filled the Sky with her Fire Spells while Lunaria made use of her Ability of Moonlight Control.

Even when it's still bright as day, the moon of the World of Elements appeared above their heads and was freely manipulated by Lunaria.

When I saw what she did, I immediately suggested to her to also assimilate the Elemental Energy. If I'm not wrong, she would be able to awaken a Light Elemental Core and her Secondary Cores would be Dark Element. The Spells she would be able to create would surely aid her Ability to control Moonlight further.

Due to their overwhelming advantage, their fight ended in less than five minutes.

The two Heroes that were fighting those five even took a step back, giving the floor to the seven women.

However, when they went back and rejoined us, I earned an earful from Hikari because she also wanted to show off what she can do. That earned her a lot of hateful glares from my Companions that she immediately shrunk back in fear.

The fight in this world was also somewhat anticlimactic. However, it was only because of our steep rise in strength while the Portals of the Dark World couldn't still accommodate to easily send a Rank 2 Mortal down.

Perhaps if I didn't make the trip to the Dark World, it wouldn't be this easy. That reckless decision of mine to jump into the Portal stopped being a reckless decision anymore. Even though it looked like I was benefitting a lot whenever those connected to me would breakthrough to the next stage or realm, my sudden jump in realm was more beneficial.

After leaving the job of cleaning up and restoring order to Arland and the other Transcendents, we entered the Noxian Capital and settled in one of the Aristocratic Families' castles. It's a long way back to Aves after all.
