Ed, Raikou, and Suika continued their journey to hunt the last wyvern. When he checked the map, Ed noticed that the wyvern was about 10km away from them. Ed and Raikou ran at full speed towards their target.
Ed didn't want to ride on Raikou so as not to exhaust him; it was also his chance to train his Spectral Shadow Steps.
Around 30 minutes later, they got to their destination and found the wyvern sleeping in a cave. Ed wanted to scan the wyvern but it seemed to notice their presence and woke up.
Ed got on guard and wanted to attack but the wyvern disappeared from in front of him. 'What the!' Ed was surprised and kept looking around in case of an attack. His Seikūken didn't detect any movement near him so he was sure the wyvern wasn't fast. 'If it could disappear at will then that only means…' Ed came to a sudden realization and left the cave.
When they got outside, they found the wyvern sitting as if waiting for them. This time Ed made sure to scan it before it disappeared again.
Name Space wyvern.
Cultivation: Earth Establishment (Level 1).
Ed's guess was correct, it was using space magic. 'This'll be tricky… It's as strong as Raikou' Ed knew his fight this time wasn't going to end as easily as the others.
"Raikou, it can probably teleport so if it disappears be careful of attacks coming from your blind spots. Suika, sorry but the enemy is too dangerous this time, I'm recalling you" "Suu…" Suika gave him a sad response but she agreed.
Ed and Raikou started their assault on the wyvern. At first it fought them at close range without using any magic; however, it soon noticed that it was being overpowered. The human was tricky and could dodge everything while the wolf was too fast for it to touch.
Suddenly it jumped up in the air and slashed at nothing, Ed thought it was weird but before he could react he felt pain on his chest and was blown away backward.
"Raikou! Be careful it can use its space magic on anything it wants" Ed wasn't injured badly since this time; he was wearing the leather equipment. Ed activated his Sharingan and kept looking at the wyvern; trying to put it under Genjutsu but he failed since it was much stronger than him. He gave up on his plan but kept his Sharingan active.
Ed and Raikou could react better to the attacks now that they were on guard. Whenever Ed noticed QI movement in the wyvern he would shout to Raikou to make him know it was attacking. However, they still got injured multiple times after failing to dodge.
Ed noticed something while fighting the wyvern and wanted to confirm it. He looked at Raikou and he seemed to understand him. Ed ran towards the wyvern and jumped while using Wind blades, the wyvern dodged it with a short teleport but only to find Raikou, who had predicted its escape, waiting for it with lightning magic.
The wyvern got hit since it couldn't escape but it didn't seem like it took much damage. "It seems like it can't use its magic successively after all" Although they found one of its weaknesses, they still didn't have the advantages over it. It was difficult after all to predict its escape patterns every time. While they were getting too many injuries, Ed got a plan and bet everything on it.
"Raikou I only need to get one hit in to finish this!" Ed instructed his companion, and the latter executed perfectly. Raikou rushed at the wyvern and did his best to corner it. Ed withdrew his Murata-tou and held his left wrist with his right hand while he closed his eyes and expanded his Seikūken to its fullest.
'I can't waste this chance!' As soon as Ed noticed that the wyvern teleported to his area of Seikūken used his Zero sign and jumped up towards the wyvern slashing at it. The wyvern couldn't react until after it got slashed, however, it seemed like the slash failed since it wasn't life-threatening.
"Hiryu: Kaen" Ed spoke while falling down and looked at the wyvern. Suddenly the wound he caused to the wyvern ignited and it was now covered in flames. It couldn't handle the pain so it lost its cool and forgot to teleport to safety. Raikou came in finished it off by biting its neck and breaking it

"System how come I got the space magic?" Ed was full of smiles but still wanted to know the origin of the drops.
[It's part of the Game interface. Depending on the luck of the host he can get certain drops from what he kills] Ed was happy at this new revelation.
Ed finally relaxed and sat down. Raikou came to his side and sat down as well. Ed summoned Suika and looked sad; her companions were full of wounds while she was perfectly fine.
"Don't worry Suika I'm certain you will get stronger and protect us in the future" Ed smiled and looked at Suika which made her feel a bit better.
Ed got some of the potions he made and drank them with Raikou. They instantly felt better as their wounds healed at a fast pace. 'Potions are handy after all!'
However before they could relax, a suffocating aura engulfed the entire area and they couldn't move at all. It took their full power just to look up. What they saw was an enormous black dragon. This time Ed didn't mistake the species. He tried to scan it but the results he got were frightening.
Name:???
Cultivation:???
The power difference was just too enormous between them. Luckily for them, the dragon didn't even consider them worth its time and moved ahead. It looked at them one last time as if it was looking at ants in its way.
Ed couldn't relax until he could no longer see the dragon. He felt for the first time how terrifying the monsters in this world could be. He finally had a chance to witness what the top of this world was like.
Ed went inside the cave and set up camp in there. It was getting late so he slept after eating with Raikou and Suika. Tomorrow they should reach the Scale country if they use the whole day traveling.
Hello everyone hope you enjoy the chapter. I'll try to post a second one today in a couple of hours.
I went with space as the last element of the wyverns since it is considered as one in some classifications of elements (It was also cooler :x).

After resting for the entire night. Ed continued his journey determined to get to the Scale kingdom by nightfall. Raikou also supported Ed's decision.

Ed was satisfied with his improvement so far. He noticed Suika's description had changed so he decided to keep feeding her medicinal herbs or failed potions to see if she can evolve without using Upgrade cards.
During the journey, Ed kept using different types of magic to get more accustomed to his abilities. He also wanted to try out the space magic with other magic. He tried to teleport the fire/wind arrows he conjured with space magic but mostly failed. He once almost burned Raikou's fur; he got a disappointed look from his companion that caused him to stop experimenting while traveling.
They stopped once to eat lunch and Ed cooked some cow monster steaks along with roasted seasoned potatoes. The lunch was very delicious so Raikou was feeling rejuvenated for his second trip.
The trio encountered some monsters along the way but decided to ignore them. Most of the monsters were too weak to pose a threat anyway. After sundown, Ed could finally see a city behind the trees. He was now getting ready to enter the city.
"Raikou, hide in my shadow and wait there. We don't want to attract unwanted attention" Ed didn't want the guards to freak out when seeing Raikou and end up attacking him since he would retaliate and Ed might even kill them if they cause any injuries to his companions. Ed recalled Suika a well.
Ed got close to the entrance and the guard noticed him.
"Halt, you are about to enter the city of Scale kingdom. State your purpose!" The guard stopped Ed. It was a normal occurrence since bandits did exist in this world, however, the guard seemed overly intense.
"My name is Edward Avalon. I came from the Avalon kingdom in order to enter the academy that is open to the nobles of the continent" Ed stated his purpose normally.
"If you are a noble then how come you are dressed like a hunter? On top of that, where is your carriage?" Unfortunately for Ed, the guard had a smart head on his shoulders.
"I like to hunt that is why I'm wearing these clothes. As for my carriage, I sent it back since I wanted to travel alone for a while" Ed thought of excuses and mixed them with a bit of truth. The guard seemed convinced and let Ed enter, but not without a warning.
"If we find out you are actually a bandit, all the forces of Claw city will be looking for you" Ed decided to move on without caring and entered the city.
The city was similar to his Avalon kingdom although smaller. Ed spent a little while walking and enjoying the sights with Suika riding on top of his head. He had summoned her after entering the city. The surrounding people looked at him like he was some sort of insane person.
After enjoying the sights for a little longer, Ed decided to look for an inn to spend the night. He found one near the city center and decided it would be a good place to stay.
Ed entered the inn and heard a sweet young voice call out.
"Welcome to our sunshine inn! We provide meals three times a day and we even have a bath!" The voice seemed like it was doing its best to convince Ed to stay at the inn.
"I would like to stay in your biggest room, how much does it cost?" Ed chose the biggest room because he knew Raikou liked rooms with a lot of space.
The voiced finally emerged and it was a young girl, about 15-16 years old. She looked confused as to why a single person would want the biggest room. "Will there be other people joining you sir?" The girl lost to her curiosity and asked Ed.
"No, I will be alone." Ed didn't mind and answered her.
"The room will cost 5 gold coins a night. Meals are included. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Alice. If you need anything please tell me!" Alice introduced herself in an energetic way.
"My name is Edward but you can call me Ed. Nice to meet you Alice" Ed introduced himself as well and continued.
"Now Alice! How can I enter the bath?!"
