The Ultimate Support Character

Before leaving the Ancient Ruins, like the old gentleman suggested, I had us fully explore it this time.

Back then, we stopped halfway due to how dangerous it was for Mortal Ranks to continue and it was also along with the advice from the old gentleman.

Further in, we encountered traps and creatures like the Ogres or Ruin dwellers awaiting us. They're stronger than an average Rank 5 Mortal. And that became something like training for the twins and the couple.

They volunteered to do it while the three of us scanned the place to look for valuables and to discover more things hidden in this chopped-off piece of a Sage World.

I tried adapting to the Source Energy of this World and I succeeded albeit, it's at the same state as the Psyche Energy from before. It's incomplete so there's not much application to it. It enhanced my Spirit Pathway and adapted Spirit-type Source Energies.

And likewise, Jayna, Yumiko and the other four also experienced it.

Another enhancement before we leave.

I already called my other Companions with Spirit-type Pathway to also go here and adapt the incomplete Level 3 Spirit-type Source Energy. It would be completed if perhaps we reached Kotov or… we found another Level 3 Sage World.

When we left the Ancient Ruins, I didn't forget to ask about that other chunk in the World of Barbarian to the old gentleman.

However, after knowing that he's bound to that place, he didn't know anything about it. But he had a guess that was just the same as mine.

It's probably just another chopped-off part of a Sage World. Or if that's not it, a huge Space Vessel that crashed on that place.

Either of the two was plausible but to avoid the danger it might bring us, I decided to increase my strength first before attempting to explore that place.

In the meantime, I reminded Ophelia to not let anyone go there. And if something happened concerning that place, I asked her to immediately inform me.

More than that world… I am more worried about her and her decision to stay.

After cleaning up the valuables and thinning the herd of enemies lingering in that special ruin of a higher world, we left the place and met with the Council of Twelve of the Spiritas as well as Ezyn and Yse to discuss what they could do.

Without a common enemy to fight against, the two races were once again on the verge of war. Furthermore, because Ezyn and Yse went with us to Earth, the Spirit Beasts were somewhat shaken from the roots that some of those ferocious beasts that were being kept in line from before began hunting for food in the form of the Spiritas who was already trying to rebuild and reclaim the lands they lost from the Dark World denizens from before.

Naturally, I didn't say anything and let Yumiko, the Priestess of this World and Jayna, who now ascended to become known as the Spirit Princess, talk reason with them.

I only observe the restless faces of the Council of 12 who still hadn't become a Transcendent.

Harlan managed to do so as well as Jayce, Jayna's father. However, that's it. Apart from the two, most of them were still stuck at Noble Spirit Realm or Rank 4 Mortal while a few managed to reach the Ruler Spirit Realm.

Harlan who first thought of following us in fighting in other worlds had now rescinded that decision. He now wished to remain to lead the Spiritas along with Jayce.

Ezyn and Yse, on the other hand, still had the motivation to leave, in their place the Spirit Beast they left behind in control was proven inefficient.

Due to that, Yse's sister Yvonne, the silver dragon we rescued from before was nominated to become the new Queen of the Spirit Beasts. To help her gain the power necessary to keep those troublemakers in check, I used Spirit Bestowal to her as well as added her to my Allies list giving her 50% of the Support Bonus.

That's a lot. But I only aimed for that to last until she became a Transcendent.

With what Ezyn and Yse earned from following us or what they got in every battle they participated in, the couple left behind something like an inheritance for her to aid her endeavor to reach Transcendence.

With that impending war put out of the way, Yumiko and Jayna then proposed to them to continue on skirmishes but no conquest. Moreover, they also proposed to let their Mortal Ranks or even all of them use the Ancient Ruins as a training ground.

Naturally, that's something we talked about with the old gentleman. As long as they wouldn't flock inside it in droves, he would allow them to explore or cultivate inside it.

Yumiko and Jayna left that to Harlan and the new queen of the Spirit Beasts, Yvonne to talk about in detail.

And once we're done with it, we returned to the territory of Jayna's father.

Before looking for the Hermit, if she's still here in this world, I have to keep the promise I made first.

The promise to become Jayna's official spirit-pair once we returned to this world.

"Are you nervous?" I asked the girl whose head was lowered beside me.

She's wearing an extremely luxurious green gown adorned with translucent beads. Her previous emerald-green hair that was now a mix of red and green was flowing behind her. At each step she took, the onlooking citizens, as well as the big guests from this world, were all being stupefied by her beauty.

"N-nervous? No. I'm happy. Very happy." Jayna answered as she lifted her head to show me a big smile on her lips. "In our previous life, we never had something like this. That's why… I'm trying to etch this moment in my mind."

"Un. Me too."

Back then, there's no time for us to make an official ceremony like this. We only continued progressing through numerous worlds, numerous problems and challenges together.

Even without this kind of ceremony, all of us knew the bond we made was unbreakable.

And this time. As a continuation of that phase in our lives, I will now give them memories like this that I cannot do before.

I wouldn't ever be complete without any of them. They're the sole reason why I persisted against the odds.

After walking for a while, we reached an elevated platform where Jayna's parents were waiting. Jayce and his wife were holding two flower crowns connected by a thin veil.

As soon as we stood on it, they draped the veil on us before placing the flower crowns on our heads.

The ceremony was originally just this simple and like most weddings, it ended with a kiss wherein we poured in Spirit Energy, in our case a part of our Spirit Ocean, towards each other and merged them as a symbol that a part of us was with each other.

At the side, I saw all of my Companions, who went here to adapt the incomplete Source Energy in the Ancient Ruins, happily watching the ceremony.

Well, they're also waiting for their turn in their own world. And I promised to make it happen.

Although a bit different than how marriages happened on Earth, the celebration was just as extravagant due to how special this occasion is to anyone.

In truth, Jayna tried urging Yumiko to also take the vow with her given that she's the Priestess of the world. But the girl refused. Apart from wanting our wedding to be on Earth, she wanted to make this a truly special day for her best friend and sister.

Due to that, with my identity also being revealed as the Legendary Natal Spirit, Ember the ceremony was hyped up that everyone in this world was rejoicing with us, wherever they were.

After the officiation, congratulations and other miscellaneous things ended, before everyone's eyes, I picked up Jayna and swiftly flew out of the place.

We're going to a place wherein we could be alone. It's an occasion that would only happen once. That's why I had to make it even more special for the girl.
