Chapter 18: The saviour

Knowing that he could not defeat the man in the middle, Ed thought of ways to separate him from the other two. However his worried were swept away.

"To think that the incompetent son of Arthur would be the one to stop our plan. I'm both impressed and disappointed, glory sect seems to have lost worthy people" The man spoke an stood still while the other two moved towards Ed.

'Seems like I don't have to fight all three of them' Ed was relieved. But it was still 2v1 he couldn't relax at all. 'This is the second time I'm fighting a human other than my father'

Ed kept swinging his swords around, to other it seemed like he was trying to hit a ghost but in reality, he was trying to establish his full reach with his Seikūken. He would be relying on it a lot this fight.

As the two were getting closer they each went to one side and pulled out their swords. They did not seem like they were underestimating Ed at all.

His opponents were as strong as him; however, he had more special abilities. Ed knew he should take his time and not rush out at them.

The two suddenly moved at the same time, anyone in Ed's situation would be scared but Ed kept his calm. He had fought stronger opponents before.

After getting close enough they swung their swords at Ed hoping to beat him in no time. They knew they didn't have much time.

However, Ed moved both his hands at the same time and blocked both of their swords. He did not even have to turn around to look at them thanks to his Seikūken. His Two-swords Style also allowed him to be ambidextrous.

The two were shocked and retreated. They switched their formations and were now attacking him from the front and from behind. But to no avail, Ed's sword skills and overall abilities were much higher than theirs. He also sparred a lot with Raikou and so was used to all kinds of fast-paced attacks.

'How can react to both of them at the same time. Not even masters can do that when fighting opponents of the same strength' Ed was occupied with his fight and didn't notice the other man squinting his eyes in shock; you could also see appreciation in his eyes. Although Ed was an enemy now, the man knew Ed was weak and bedridden not too long ago. 'To be able to get this strong... Just how much talent is he hiding' A little smile could be seen forming in his mouth.

Ed's opponents were now getting tired. They were attacking a lot at an incredible speed but Ed stopped them at their tracks every time. 'I should end this soon' Ed wanted to defeat his two opponents; he was afraid the other man would change his mind and join the two.

Ed then switched his stance from an open one to a closed one, he kept his swords in front of him rather than at his sides. The two saw this and thought he was getting tired so they attacked him at once. The one behind him was a bit faster and got to him first, he put his sword above his head and attacked with all his might. He wanted Ed to block with both his swords so his friend could attack his freely.

However, Ed activated his Shadow Steps and dodged the sword just as it was about to hit him. This guaranteed for him that his opponent wouldn't escape. His opponent was shocked and turned his head around to look at Ed but all he could see was a sword coming at him. Ed aimed at the man's throat and killed him mercilessly.

Ed wasn't happy about the notification; after all, he had just killed a human for the first time. If it wasn't for the fact that they had targeted his family Ed wouldn't have killed him. They had also seen him transforming into the guard so Ed couldn't let them know too much of his secrets.

The other man looked at his friend falling to the ground and lost his cool, he then rushed at Ed. Ed was able to react easily to him; after all, he was alone now. Ed pointed his swords at the man and stabbed, the man got scared and tried to step back but Ed capitalized on this chance and rushed at him. He swung Murasame and knocked the sword out of his opponent's hand leaving him defenseless. He then swung Murata-tou and slashed, leaving a deep wound on the opponent's body.

Obtained 1000 exp.

Ed heard the notification and relaxed a bit. He needed to focus now on his remaining opponent. The strongest one out of the three.

"I can only offer you my greatest of praise. I had heard you were a failure of a son, but anyone who would look at you now would have to eat those words." The man started approaching Ed.

"I accept your praise gratefully" Ed started to get tense. The aura the man was letting off was suffocating him. It just showed how much of a difference there was between them.

Suddenly the man in front of him split into two. Ed was surprised but he activated the Sharingan. He looked at the split man and saw no Qi in the two in front of him. He then felt an attack coming from behind him. 'The two were only a decoy!' Ed turned around and blocked with both of his swords.

"Great reaction speed, and those eyes, it seems like they can see through my illusions" A blurry appearance appeared behind Ed and swung his sword at him. Although Ed blocked with both his swords he was sent flying. He checked his HP and saw that this one strike took almost half of it.

'This isn't going to end well for me...' Ed could only smile wryly and get back on his feet.

"Oh, you can still stand up. Then let us have some more fun!" The man said and rushed at Ed.

Ed now was fully focused and used all his skills to defend. As usual, the Sharingan and Seikūken combo proved to be an indispensable duo for Ed. He could now react to the attacks of the man, although just barely.

Suddenly Ed lost his footing and fell down. "Only a Knight establishment and you can hold me off. what a waste it is to kill you" The man was swinging his sword at Ed's head but suddenly swung it to the side. He split a rock that was thrown at him.

Ed used this chance to back away and get back on his feet. But as he looked at who saved him he was shocked. It the young orphan who got hit by his brother.

'Seems like he didn't hold a grudge on our family' Ed was glad he saved him when he had the chance.

"It seems like the heavens do not wish for you to die hahaha" The man was laughing.

"Kid, Thanks for saving me but go back now this place is dangerous!" Ed didn't want for the child to get hurt.

"It's okay he won't get hurt" Another voice sounded near the kid and a silhouette appeared and placed its hand on his head.

It was Griffin, the number one disciple of glory sect.

"I heard there was trouble in the sect and came to help, young master Ed" Griffin smiled and joined Ed against the man.

"Took you long enough" Ed smiled and was relieved.

Hello everyone one. Sorry for the late update, I was a little bit tired and decided to rest for a little.

I hope you enjoy the chapter and don't forget to leave your thought on it in the comments! :)

Chapter 19: The team fight

"Well then master Ed, how should we handle this?" Griffin was now standing next to Ed. He was a King establishment level 5 but he was still no match for the man in front of him.

"We just have to hold on until my father comes here. I sent all of the disciples to inform him. Even if there was an issue all of them wouldn't be stopped" There were no disciples on the sect because Ed sent them all. This was also so he could fight without being reserved.

Ed had deactivated his Sharingan so he could last a little longer in the fight.

Griffin drew his sword and Ed took a stance once again. Then the man started his assault.

"Be careful Griffin, he can use illusions." Ed made sure to warn him about the opponent's abilities.

The man's speed was astonishing. In less than one second he was in front of Griffin. However the latter was also incredible, he could keep up and even counter-attack.

'He certainly is amazing' Ed could see how this young man was the number one disciple of their sect. He also joined the fight and both of them could pressure the man with their sword skills. Suddenly the man stepped back and looked like he was charging something up.

"Be careful he's using some type of magic!" Ed warned Griffin. Sure enough, the man conjured a huge fireball and threw it at the two.

"Leave this to me" Ed spoke and sheathed both of his swords."Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon!!" He then used the skill that was able to cut up a train compartment. After he was done the fireball was split into two and passed both of them.

Ed looked towards the old man and noticed he was gone. Griffin was also on guard seeing him disappear. "He must be using illusion magic to make himself disappear!" Ed figured out the trick and activated his Sharingan once again. He looked around and could see the space being blurry behind Griffin so he warned him quickly.

"Behind you!" Griffin heard Ed and quickly slashed where the man was, but could feel nothing. The man's speed was very impressive.

"Those eyes of yours are troublesome" The man was annoyed that his plans were foiled because of Ed so he switched his attention to him.

Griffin still couldn't see the man and was on guard but noticed Ed was tense so he knew he was being targeted. He rushed towards him and asked for assistance. "It would be a great help if you could tell me where he is, young master"

Ed knew Griffin wanted to help him so he started giving him directions. After a while their team play was perfect. However, the man was just too strong and they had suffered a lot of injuries.

Ed was now panting because of the Sharingan. He could usually last longer, but following the man's illusions while giving Griffin orders took its toll on him.

The man rushed at Ed and slashed. "It's time to end this" Ed was tired but still smirked.

"It is time to end this indeed" Ed jumped backward and yelled "Raikou!"

Ed's trusted partner who was waiting all this time jumped out of his shadow and used his lightning attack. After evolving for the 2nd time he now could use the lighting from a distance.

"Aaaah!" The man got hit by the lightning and stiffened up. He never expected a shadow-wolf to be hiding all this time.

Ed and Griffin used this chance to attack.

'Wind blade!' Ed coated his swords with wind and used fire magic on them. It was the combo he had used in the spar with Raikou.

Griffin also seemed like he coated his sword with something. It seemed like it was dense Qi.

Ed slashed his swords and sent the flames towards the man. The strength of this skill seemed like it was doubled when he used it with his two swords this time.

Griffin also slashed. The attack looked like what Ed's father used in their spar.

Raikou used flame magic as well and conjured many small fireballs.

All three of their attack hit their targets. A great noise was heard as if an explosion took place and dust filled the place.

After the dust cleared out, they could see that the man was injured. He had a deep slash on his body and some flame markings on his arms and head.

"How DARE YOU!" The man seemed like he was still fine after all of that. Ed and the rest were dumbfounded seeing that.

'All our attacks didn't even cause him to slow down...' Ed was now desperate.

The man charged up a lot of fireballs. It was similar to what Raikou just did, only the fireballs looked more menacing.

Ed got in front of the two and used the Sharingan and Seikūken combo. With perfect precision, he kept hitting all of the balls. Griffin was surprised by this; he knew he couldn't do it.

After the Fireballs stopped Ed was simply too exhausted. He had pushed his body too far. Raikou realized this and came in front of him, protecting him. Griffin did the same.

Ed knew he would only get in their way if he tried to fight so he got back and simply warned them when the man used illusions.

Ten minutes later, all three had wounds on them. They could not fight anymore. The man knew this and moved to Ed to kill him, as he was the most troublesome.

"You should be proud kid, no one has pushed me this far when they were weaker than me!" The man showed respect to Ed and swung his sword.

However soon a shout was heard that made hearts tremble.

"YOU DARE KILL MY SON!" It was Arthur, he had finally arrived.

The man knew his time was done. He could not fight Arthur let alone escape from him when he was injured. He could kill Ed before his father could reach him, but he wanted to know how far this child would go so he simply walked to where his father was.

Arthur understood his intentions and pulled out his saber. He was glad his opponent was a warrior at heart and not a savage.

The two began their fight. Ed and Co. couldn't follow at all. The man was taking it easy on them all this time.

'I need to get stronger...' All three of them had the same thought.

Soon enough due to his wounds, the man fell on his knees.

"As thanks for having mercy on my son at least, I'll allow you to die as a warrior!" Arthur swung his sword and decapitated the man. One could see gratitude in his eyes as he died.

Arthur had thought about interrogating him but as they fought he knew the man was an expert so he would not disclose any information. And his act with Ed made Arthur respect him.

As the man died, Ed could hear the notification.
