The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 558 Remilia’s Origin

For Remilia, most of her life was spent acting as a loyal subordinate to someone she hated the most. Her hate stemmed not from her loyalty to Illiana but something personal.

When she was still a young girl and someone who had just started treading her own Pathway that would one day lead her to become the Blade Monarch, her small tribe was personally massacred by Zaraya. She only survived by playing dead and burying herself by the dead bodies of the other tribe members.

Zaraya now had no recollection of that incident, just one of the smaller tribes or Dark World denizens he trampled on his way to becoming a Great One.

She then found her way into Illiana's tribe before the woman rose to become a Great One like Zaraya.

Remilia distinguished herself as a master of blades. Even her Spirit Pathway became somewhat unique as it aided her way to becoming a young Blade Master.

That's right. After becoming a Transcendent, Remilia awakened a Weaponsoul and started treading her Blade Path.

It was at that point that Illiana noticed her. Keeping her by her side until Remilia confided to her about her tragic past.

In a way, Illiana didn't give her the task to become a mole and stick to Zaraya's side. It was a simple wish of Remilia to leave Illiana's protection to hunt down the culprit for her former tribe's genocide.

It just so happened that Zaraya and even Illiana grew to become a Great One or someone who stood at the top of their world.

At first, she drifted to a tribe affiliated with Zaraya. While hiding her Blade Path that's extremely rare, she distinguished herself as a powerful Transcendent and moved up the ladder until she became one of those who could answer his call directly.

She did most of Zaraya's biddings to prove her loyalty. Remilia only reconnected to Illiana sometime after they got named the Great Ones.

And silently, she's still biding her time to enact her revenge. Only this time, she retained her connection to Illiana, supplying her with information. And in turn, Illiana trusted her completely, even introducing her to the World's Will and letting her in on some of the secrets of their world.

Daisuke's identity wasn't among the secrets though. Yet, she answered the call of the World's Will who frantically wanted to save the young man who intruded into their world from a Mortal World they were invading.

For someone to keep that act for over a century, one could see how determined she was at it. Furthermore, the number of dead bodies she trampled on with her feet or cut through using her blades was uncountable.

That's why swinging it again to Inyoin and her crew was nothing for her. It's just additional bodies to pile in the mountain of corpses.

"Remilia, you traitor!" A shrill scream was issued by Inyoin as Remilia kicked her and her crew out of their Space Vessel.

They had one of their eyes gouged, one of their arms chopped from their shoulder and both of their heels cut open, crippling their ability to walk.

At the moment, their Space Vessel was still hovering above the surface of the Chaosworld.

Remilia's domain, Graveyard of Blades, kept the Space Oddities swarming towards them at bay.

And surrounding her body was a light blue Bladeforce as well as her Weaponsoul who took on the form of a sharp-eyed little figure. Her Bladeforce would send out sharp bladelight cutting through the Space Oddities as strong as Rank 3 Transcendents. pan(da-n0vel.c)om 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

"I've never been one of you so calling me a traitor is a bit off." She shook her head, a cold smile plastered on her lips.

"What else do you call this?! You're a dog of Illiana!" Using her willpower and remaining Source Energy, Inyoin suspended herself in the air to blurt out her grievance. Looking around her, she knew that once Remilia undid her domain, she wouldn't be able to survive the swarm of Space Oddities. Even at the moment, with her body bleeding all over, she's feeling the corruption brought about by the Chaotic Energy entering her body.

It's hopeless. Even though she got a bad feeling when Remilia ordered her to go down the surface, with their difference in strength, she could only abide her.

"Now that's disrespectful. Do you want another of your arms chopped off? That's not a great way to die, is it? I'm giving you a chance to survive and defend yourselves here. Oh. Watch out."

Remilia warned as another bladelight born from her domain flew towards the suspended one-armed and one-eyed woman.

Inyoin dodged it skillfully but that was all. Apart from her bloodied appearance, cold sweat poured out of her pores. 'This demon. She could've chosen to kill us all but to only cripple us and leave us a chance to fight back, she wanted to torment us first. What did we do? Even if she's a traitor and someone working against the Great One Zaraya, must she be this cruel?'

"Oh… That face. You feel it's hopeless, huh? That's what I also felt years ago. When Zaraya came to our small tribe and killed everyone. You're worshiping him because of his strength. I'm by his side to put an end to his life once I reach his level. That's impossible, I know. However, that's the purpose of my existence."

Remilia said but then Daisuke's smug face flashed in her mind, '… or not. Do I even deserve to be favored by someone like him? Why am I even swayed by his words, anyway? I should focus on the purpose of my existence. He could chase after me but… Sooner or later, I will have to confront my ghost.'

Ignoring Inyoin's screams of rage and curses that she would fail with her pursuit of vengeance, Remilia only looked on at Inyoin's incomplete body as she slowly retracted her domain.

As soon as Inyoin and her crew left its confines, the Space Oddities that reeked of Chaotic Energy hungrily swarmed at them. Hacking, slashing and biting as though they're snacks that they're waiting for eternity.

They tried to fight back but even if they killed one, ten more Space Oddities would replace it.

In less than a minute, only Inyoin remained. She's still desperately fighting using her meager Dark Energy. She's a Rank 3 Transcendent. A veteran one at that.

However, with her injuries and the lack of Source Energy replenishment, she soon found herself dry.

While she was being feasted on by the Space Oddities, Remilia, who watched until Inyoin breathed her last, steered the Space Vessel out of the Chaosworld.

Obviously, she was met with other Space Oddities as well as the Chaotic Will but with her strength as a Rank 4 Transcendent, the Chaotic Energy she absorbed from the killed creatures and the resources left behind by Inyoin and her crew, she broke past the Chaosworld's atmosphere with slight ease.

Following that, she drove it towards the last known location of Alwyn's Space Vessel, investigating the boundless Chaotic Space.

However, she still failed to find the traces of the Transcendent World that Alwyn was supposed to have used as her pit stop.

It was hours later when she was about to give up and move to a different World Zone that Daisuke's voice rang in her mind, "Remilia… Are you still there? Alwyn is still in the Transcendent World. Apparently, its World's Will activated an outrageous ability that's normally impossible for most. It's cloaked by Chaotic Energy to evade a World Zone Navigator's scan."
