The Ultimate Support Character



After recovering from what she experienced, Yuko's weakened voice reached my ears.

"Dai-kun... It's terrifying. It blocked my Foresight to the point that I can only see a blanket of white like nothing is waiting for us if I continue prying into the future."

"Is that how you interpret it? It's not a fixed prediction of the future?" I asked, not sure how to interpret it properly. But usually, her Foresight never fails her.

"Yes... I've seen a still-image but before I can comprehend it, my Source Energy froze and I thought I'm going to..."

Yuko didn't continue from there and simply buried her face in my chest.

It could already infer what she wanted to say anyway. The fear of death overwhelmed her.

And by what she just described, it meant that her ability had truly been hit by the interference of that pair of eyes. It blocked her from seeing what lies ahead of us. Or maybe it was forcing us to help it instead of leaving it behind.

Little did it know, a still image that was close to a glimpse was enough for Yuko. She could remember anything she saw through that ability of hers.

Perhaps thinking that it might hear her if she said it orally, Yuko used our connection to convey it through the Companion Skill within my System.

"We can leave it behind, Dai-kun. We have enough time to leave this World before the harness it puts in to prevent the woman from self-destructing disappears. But if you choose to help it and save her from dying... it's uncertain whether that eye can be useful to us or not"

Yuko further added that her uncertainty was from the fact that she could only catch a glimpse around ten minutes into the future. And since it blocked her from looking further ahead, we should consider preparing for the risk.

"I see. It's like that, huh? Then, Yuko. Will it come obediently if I approach it or...?"

"It won't. Once you approach her, the woman's consciousness will return temporarily, attacking you with everything she has. You can possibly survive it but when the Eye takes control again…"

Yuko shook her head, indicating how she was also uncertain how that one would go.

"What about Yse?"

"That… Dai-kun, she's invisible in my Foresight. It's like she's not even here with us. Different from before when I at least foresaw her initial meeting with you in the World of Spirits, her Eye of Destiny possibly evolved and is now blocking my ability to see her when I'm peering through future possibilities."

Right.

That's how mysterious that eye is as well.

Back then, Yuko could not explain some of its abilities properly as well. She just knew that she could do those things using her Eye and everything worked out well for us.

With this, it not only became too risky for us to stay here any longer, but there's also Yse who will be outside our prediction.

Then, the best path to take here is, no doubt, to leave right away...

However...

For some reason, my Adaptability is nagging at me. No. It's not just that essence of my Divinity. The contrasting Source and Chaotic Energy existing within me was also having a reaction.

They're pushing me to take this risk.

Should I… listen? I don't know.

"Alright. Let's check on Yse first and decide depending on what she gleaned from resonating with it."

"Okay. I'll protect her as well if things go wrong. Dai-kun, you too. Protect yourself. Not just us."

Yuko nodded before reminding me sternly.

"I will."

That's not much of an assurance but I already promised myself to stop being careless.

I won't die here. We still have an unfinished vendetta as well as our dream to live our lives in peace.

Whatever end of our journey awaits us, we'll face it all together.

After finalizing our decision, Yuko and I immediately moved back to Yse's side.

With Yuko ready to grab her and run, I once again exercised my abundant Energy Control, compressing my Source Energy to focus its protection in front of Yuko and Yse.

I could endure a few ice blades and I can heal it with my spell. This isn't carelessness.

A few moments later, Yuko muttered something to Yse.

"What do you see? What does it want?"

Two questions. They're simple questions but at the same time, they're not.

Yse is seeing things differently from us. And she can understand the pair of special eyes' intentions.

"Strings. Connecting all of us to her. But it's not the one that signifies Convergence of Destiny. It's different. The color of the string is different. It's alternating between white and black."

Yse started. Her body started convulsing and blood began flowing out of her nose.

And because of it, her human form had also started to destabilize.

If we're not careful, she'll return to a giant silver dragon.

This is dangerous but she's not done yet.

"It wants us to bring the woman. It didn't want to return to the Void and wait for its next possessor."

As soon as she finished those words, Yse lost consciousness.

Her eyes lost their light and she fell back.

Like she promised, Yuko quickly grabbed her and protected her. Thankfully, she remained in her human form, otherwise... it would be hard for Yuko to ensure the woman's safety.

"Dai-kun. I know what she meant by those black and white strings. It's the same when we find the one responsible for the creation of your physical body. It means she's either going to be a boon or doom for all of us. I don't want you to make a tough decision but at this stage, we have no other choice. Come back with us safe and sound."

Yuko's voice and expression were filled with conflict but she steeled herself for me.

Once she finished, she opened a path for Yse and herself to leave this Glacial Energy Storm, leaving me alone.

Now, there are three paths in front of me.

Leave with my Companions and allies and leave this world and that Eye to its fate.

Approach the woman and kill her once she momentarily regains consciousness wherein her special eyes won't be able to interfere.

Or the last path. Do what that Eye is asking from us and take another risk by capturing the woman and bringing her with us.
