As the wyvern was diving down towards Ed, it formed countless ice spears and sent them flying at him. Ed used his footwork and ran while dodging the spears. It was the right choice not to rely on the Seikūken and dodge while standing still. As soon as the spears hit the grounds they blew up and caused ice spikes to form.
Ed kept moving around and dodging until it seemed like the wyvern stopped the assault. It got irritated and decided to kill Ed by itself. It increased its speed and it was immediately near him. Ed was ready for it and got into a stance.
"Let's dance little wyvern!" Ed provoked the wyvern and it got even madder. It disregarded everything and focused solely on Ed.
The fight began with Ed on the defensive. He kept dodging the wyvern and counter-attacking, but the latter was quick with its flight and dodged him every time. Ed knew he wasn't going to end the fight anytime soon this way so he activated the Sharingan and looked at the wyvern's eyes. He was now even more proficient with Genjutsu, but not at the level where he could control monsters.
Ed made the wyvern trapped in a Genjutsu and it came falling down. He used Wind blades on his sword and shouted. "Sai Kuru!" He could now understand why characters in anime always screamed attack names; it gave them a certain feeling of power and dominance.
As Ed was using his skill, he held his swords in front of him pointing up, like rhinoceros horns and spun quickly. Along with the wind blades, this gave him the image of a cyclone.
The falling wyvern couldn't dodge this time and was hit by the full brunt of the attack. Its wings were now useless and it wouldn't be flying anymore. The pain made it snap out of its daze and the Genjutsu lost its effect.
With it now being flightless, it lost its advantage over Ed and was paying dearly. Although Ed deactivated the Sharingan he could still react to the now clumsy attacks of the wyvern.
"Raikou!" Soon Ed called upon his companion who was waiting at the side. The wyvern looked shocked since it forgot such a strong opponent; its anger towards Ed made it lose its intellect. And it was now paying dearly since Raikou had gathered up a fireball that was huge enough to blast it away.
The fireball hit the wyvern and caused it to be burnt severely, Ed used this chance to cut its head.

"Suika, Raikou let's move!" Ed didn't waste any time so he stored the wyvern's body and headed off to look for the second one.
"System, can I use the map to find out about the location of the other wyverns?" Ed didn't waste time and asked for the assistance of the system.
[Since this is a quest you can check the map and the specific monsters will be represented as big red dots instead of normal ones]
Ed checked the map and found that the nearest wyvern to him was the Steel wyvern. He quickly made his way to him and found him sleeping. He was living close to the ice wyvern.
"Scan the wyvern" Ed did the same checkup as before.
Name: Steel wyvern.
Cultivation: King establishment (Level 4).
'If I'm lucky all the wyverns will be as strong as each other'
Ed conjured up a couple of flame and wind arrows and sent them at the sleeping wyvern. They hit him and Ed waited before moving. It seemed like it didn't have any effect as the wyvern stood up and looked at the individuals who attacked it.
"As expected, its defense is its selling point. Raikou try to stall him while I find a chance to attack. Suika wait for my order and get ready to poison him!" Ed informed his companion about his plan and they immediately followed.
Raikou headed to the wyvern; that was now up and waiting, and started fighting it. It used its speed to dodge its attacks while using lightning and fire magic to attack it. The attacks didn't have an effect on it as its scales were too hard. It also seemed like it could use lightning magic so it could absorb it when it hit it.
When Ed noticed the wyvern's attention fully focused on Raikou he got close enough to it and withdrew his Murasame. He also put Murata-tou in its sheath and took a drawing stance.
'Lucky for me I have a technique that can cut through steel'
"Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson" Ed used this skill for the first time in a while. He moved at an incredible speed and cut the wyvern's boy. He then turned around and called Suika. "Suika! Now!" Suika moved quickly and used a poison attack on the stunned wyvern.
After this, it was only a matter of time before they won. The poison dulled the wyvern's movements while Ed and Raikou's combination of attacks didn't allow it to escape.

"Great job you guys!" Ed was pretty satisfied with the hunting capabilities of him and his companions. They could now hunt strong monsters without getting injured. He then decided to take a small break and eat some food. He was running low on meat so he decided to change the menu and cook a vegetable and meat stew this time. He seasoned it and used his remaining meat on this dish.
Raikou didn't look too happy at the menu change but changed his mind after tasting it. The meat was tender and lean while the vegetables enhanced its taste.
The trio made short work of the stew and got up to continue hunting. They then continued looking for the remaining wyverns. According to the map, Ed now had the earth wyvern as its next target. However, he decided to hunt some cow monsters to restock on his meat supply.
The cow monsters were just extra large cows. They didn't pose any challenge at all, after hunting a couple of them Ed continued to look for the earth wyvern. A little less than 10 minutes later he found it wandering inside a forest.

"System scan the earth wyvern"
*Ding*
Name: Earth wyvern.
Cultivation: King establishment (Level 5).
'He's stronger than the others…' Ed noticed that this earth wyvern was stronger so he decided to take this more seriously.
"Raikou we'll go full power from the start. Suika stay back we don't know if your poison will work on him, but be ready in case we need you to poison him." Ed devised a plan and told his companions.
The wyvern was brown in color which was fitting. It noticed Ed and the rest coming and turned around to look at them. It seemed to feel their killing intent so it growled and got ready to fight itself.
Ed and Raikou started sprinting and got to where to wyvern was at. Ed activated his Sharingan while Raikou clad itself in lightning.
The duo almost got to the wyvern when suddenly Ed noticed Qi moving around the earth where it is standing. He got a bad feeling so he called Raikou.
"Raikou Jump!" Raikou noticed something was wrong as well and jumped. Right after, spikes made from earth came from underneath them. Raikou kept dodging them in midair while retreating.
Ed made use of his speed and dodged before the spikes got close to him.
'A close quarter combat won't be very effective if we can't get passed these spikes' Ed was thinking of new ways to kill the wyvern.
'If we can wear its Qi out then we can easily kill it. But It should have more Qi than me' Ed was now in a bind. The best course action was to wear out the wyvern with Raikou.
Ed and Raikou put the plan to action very fast. Ed was using wind blades to cut up the spikes but when it was about to hit the wyvern it would spawn an earth wall that weakened the blades and eventually erased them. The fire wasn't very effective either as it would just dissipate on the mud.
'No choice but to risk it…' Ed started running towards the wyvern. The latter noticed him and used spikes to kill him. This time it also used some earth arrows and sent them flying towards him.
However before the attacks hit him, Ed dodged them as If he knew they were coming. Ed was now using the Ryūsui Seikūken along with the Sharingan. This allowed him to have great sight and read the opponent's thought process. Ed couldn't keep up this state for too long of a time so he had to make every second count.
He activated his Shadow steps and accelerated to his maximum speed. The wyvern felt danger and started exhausting its Qi conjuring walls, spikes, and arrows. However, none of these could stop Ed in his current state. Soon enough, Ed finally got to where the wyvern was and swung his swords in an attempt to kill him.
The wyvern then flew into the sky in an attempt to avoid Ed. To his surprise, Raikou was waiting for him and hit him with a paw enhanced with lightning magic. Due to Raikou being stronger than the wyvern this caused it immense damage and sent it flying down to the ground.
Ed knew Raikou was waiting and would perform just what he needed so he was in the ground while his sword with Qi. As the wyvern got close to him, he swung his swords and hit the wyvern killing him instantly.

"Phew, it's finally done!" Ed was very tired from using all of his skills so he decided to rest instead of hunt the next wyvern. It was getting late anyway so they headed out to look for a spot to rest and eat at. Ed cooked the cow meat and found it even tastier than normal meat they had. He decided not to judge things by how they sound from now on.
Ed then prepared the tent and the three slept soundly. The next morning Ed felt rejuvenated and cooked breakfast, he made a simple omelet with vegetables. Although Raikou grumbled at the lack of meat, he still ate what he was given.
The three made their way to search for the next wyvern. This time they found it in a desert-like area. 'The terrain seems to change a lot in this place' Ed found it weird that a forest, rocky, and desert areas were next to each other.
The wyvern they found this time had red scales. It was, of course, a fire wyvern.
The wyvern had a cocky attitude. As soon as Ed and the others entered its territory, it flew to them and wanted to fight. It had the same cultivation as the earth wyvern.
The fight this time was very straightforward. The wyvern used fire magic to attack them, mainly by arrows or fireballs. Ed and Raikou had fought each other many times before and used similar strategies so they had no issue at all dodging it. However, at one point Ed lost his focus and dropped his guard when the wyvern was attacking and got burned from the waist down.
Ed wasn't hurt badly since the magic was weak and his body was stronger than usual Knight Establishment people. However, since he wasn't wearing his leather armor set, his clothes got burned down to his underpants. Ed regretted not wearing his best equipment and hurriedly brought out some spare clothes. This was also the first time he felt glad he had some linen underwear.
He crushed one of the cards and wore the underwear, and this time he made sure to wear his leather set. Raikou looked hopeless when he saw Ed changing clothes in the middle of the battle. So he made sure to let him know not to interrupt him as he wanted to kill the wyvern alone.
Raikou wanted to try out his strength for a while but chose to hunt with Ed instead, but now he had the chance. He kept firing magic at the wyvern from a distance while dodging the magic that was coming at him. Since he had the speed advantage, he always hit the wyvern. This caused the latter to be pissed and wanted to fight Raikou in close range. This proved to be the wrong choice since as soon as he got close, Raikou used a new skill. It was shadow manipulation; he got the surrounding shadows to bind the wyvern while he went in for the kill.

They had hunted four out of five of their targets. Only one remained.
