Morning came and Ed got up and started preparing breakfast. He woke Emilia up and she joined him and Suika. Ed was actually worried at first that Suika might attack Emilia like at the incident with slime that day, but she was actually very nice to her. She even played with her while Ed was preparing to leave.
'She must be yandere only when it involves other slimes' Ed guessed the reason behind Suika's actions was because she wanted to be the only slime he has. Ed chuckled in silence and kept preparing. He stole glances every once in a while at Emilia and Suika and noticed that Emilia seemed to like Suika a lot. She probably found her very cute.
Ed drove the carriage while the other two kept playing together. After a couple of hours, they finally reached the city. The city was called Fang city. Ed was intrigued by the naming of these cities and tried to think about the reason. 'Maybe it had something to do with some dragon?' Ed kept thinking while he entered the city. He was stopped by the guard to check the passengers but didn't get questions like in the previous city.
"Well then miss Emilia, what will you be doing next?" Ed asked her since he was planning to do the opposite. He needed to be separated from her; he didn't train at all when she was with him.
"I'll be heading to an inn. I'll also have to sell this carriage since I won't be needing it anymore" Without having a driver, this carriage was useless so it was the right thing to do.
"I see well then we'll be separating here I need to take care of some stuff. I hope we'll meet again" Ed extended his hands and Emilia did as well.
"I hope so as well. I'll make sure to return my debt" Emilia and Ed shook hands. Ed went to look for an inn while Emilia went to look for a merchant that can buy the carriage.
Ed soon found an inn and entered. He asked for the biggest room again and he was told it was 3 gold coins. However, he would need to pay for his meals and there was no bath. Ed didn't mind not having the bath as much since he wouldn't be staying for long.
After getting to his room, Raikou came out of his shadow and they were discussing what they would do next.
"Suika I'll be heading to sell the rest of the wyverns so I'll need to recall you back" Suika didn't mind and peacefully turned into card form. Ed changed his clothes to the black set he had bought before and used the black mask as well. He used Zero sign and jumped out the window. After moving for a little while he teleported inside an empty alley and undid the Zero sign. That ability was very useful but he couldn't keep it up for too long.
Ed exited the alley and immediately caught the attention of the others. He went up to a child and asked him how he can get to the guild.
"You should head to the city center it's there." The child obediently answered him and Ed gave him 2 gold coins. He was very happy and went to buy things with it.
Ed made his way to the city center and could see a big building that he thought was the guild. He erased his KI with KI control and went inside. He was using the Spectral Shadow steps to hide the sound of his steps, this gave him an even more imposing presence.
After getting inside everyone kept looking at him with weird eyes as if they couldn't believe he's really there. Most of the people inside were cultivators and could sense QI. But Ed was acting as if he didn't have any; coupled with his silent steps it was if he was a ghost.
Ed made his way to the receptionist.
"I would like to sell monster corpses" Ed changed his speaking style and acted tougher, he also made his voice deeper.
"Eh? Ah, yes! Of course!" The receptionist was still in shock since Ed was just too mysterious at this moment but quickly asked Ed to follow him as in the procedures. Ed already experienced this before and followed him.
They got into a warehouse and before the receptionist could ask him how he would be bringing the monsters; Ed dumped three wyverns on the floor. It was the fire, earth and space ones. He kept the stronger ones to be sold when he was in disguise.
The receptionist was shocked, he had seen monster corpses but rarely did ones as strong as these would be brought out at once, he didn't even have the time to be surprised at Ed having an item box.
"I'll be getting someone who could appraise them better than me please wait for a moment" The receptionist left and it didn't even take a minute before he came back with a man who looked to be in his 50s.
"Sir I can see that there are two King establishment level 5 monsters and one Earth establishment level 1. That would be 10.000 gold coins in total, is that okay with you?" The man was being respectful to Ed since he couldn't see through his cultivation state.
"Yes, that should be alright." In fact, that was even more than he expected. The space wyvern sold for a lot more than he expected.
Ed received the money and was about to leave when he was stopped by the elderly man.
"Sir, would you be interested in joining this guild? I'm the guild master of this branch and I can guarantee you wouldn't regret joining!" Ed was surprised that the guild master personally came to speak with him. But he already guessed people would try and bring him to their organizations, which is why he decided to use a disguise.
"I'm not interested" Ed spoke gave a short answer and left the guild immediately. He didn't give them a chance to try and persuade him.
Hello everyone here is the second chapter! I hope you like it and if you see any mistakes please point them out.
After Ed left the guild he started making his way to the inn. However, he didn't go directly he got to the inn and walked further beyond it. This was so that no one would associate Ed with his character in disguise.
When Ed got far enough according to his estimation, he activated Zero sign and rushed back to the inn using his top speed. This was to guarantee him that anyone that would be following him would be confused. The guild probably did send someone to check up on his identity as he was mysterious as well as suspicious.
Ed got close enough to his room's window and used a short teleport, it was almost time up for Zero sign and he wouldn't be able to use it. Ed quickly changed his clothes to his normal leather armor and summoned Suika. He was only staying in this city for one day so he would spend the day sightseeing like a tourist and leave early in the morning.
Ed left with Suika and acted as if he as sleeping in front of the innkeeper. He strolled around the city tasting the food and checking anything interesting, but to his disappointment, nothing was interesting to him. The food wasn't bad at all but it wasn't great either.
'Seems like it was the right decision not to stay here for too long' Ed wasn't regretting his decision. Ed got back to his room and spent his time practicing his KI control, he also gave Raikou the food he bought him and the latter was disappointed by it as well.
After practicing enough, Ed got to sleep even though it wasn't too late. He didn't eat dinner either as he didn't feel like he would enjoy it.
Next morning Ed had already prepared what he needed and was about to leave the inn. He paid his bill and left the city without wasting any more time. The next destination would be the capital which he needed to get to in about a week, give or take. Ed could get there in two days with Raikou's help so he decided to spend the rest of his time hunting or practicing.
As soon as Ed left the city, he activated the Map and was tweaking it to his needs. He erased any sign of blue or green dots and only left the red dots, his prey. He could see a lot of clusters of red dots and only a small amount of individual ones. Ed guessed the individual ones would be more powerful so he would need to be careful before engaging in battle with them.
He moved around the map and spent 6 days hunting everything he could hunt. He only stopped hunting either for food or to make potions and pills.
Ed was now level 17 after hunting so many monsters. He was now at the cultivation of a King Establishment. Raikou increased was Earth Establishment level 2; it wasn't much which showed just how hard it is to get to Heavenly Establishment. Suika was at level 14 and finally had her second evolution.
After being fed so many potions and plants Suika got the healing attribute and could now heal most minor injuries. The most severe injury she could heal was a deep slash wound Ed had gotten while fighting a mantis-like monster. Her poison also became even more toxic after Ed let her eat a poisonous snake, she became a toxic slime. Her poison would be a challenge even for Raikou if she could get to him.
Ed had improved some of his skills. His wind magic was now at full mastery, he improved enormously after successfully using a Rasengan-like technique that uses wind as the base instead of chakra. His Spectral Shadow steps were now at level 8 and his KI control had improved to the degree where he can use the destructo-disc, albeit not as strong. He could also fly freely in the sky but not at the insane speeds shown in dbz.
Ed had created a new skill on his own that was called voice disguise. He kept practicing and created it and now he could freely change his voice, he had done this in order to sound more convincing when in disguise.
The reason why Ed and his companions could improve so quickly was thanks to the system who kept giving them quest after quest. Ed even gathered 10 Gacha tickets but decided to refrain from using them for now.
Ed was about to enter the capital, he had 1 day before the academy begins so he decided to spend it having fun and exploring the capital. Ed rented a room in a luxurious inn which cost him 20 gold coins per night. He was willing to spend so much because he wanted to take a bath so bad.
He also decided he was going to try and make a portable bath that he could use while traveling in the future. The inn also had large baths in each of their rooms so Ed didn't need to ask the keeper's permission to let Raikou get in as well.
"As expected from the capital their inns are in a different class on their own!" Ed was relaxing in a hot bath with Raikou and Suika.
"Woof!" "Suu ~~" The two of them were also very relaxed in the bath. The trio had their first bath in a while.
The three left the inn and headed outside to eat and explore. Raikou went in Ed's shadow while Suika got on his head. After having her second evolution, Suika's size got much bigger and she could shapeshift as well. Ed even saw her once having a young girl's body and look which surprised him until he could no longer speak. Ed told her it was okay to stay in that form in case she wanted, but she seemed like she preferred her normal form. She could also control her size now which made it easier for Ed to carry her around.
"Well then, let's go have some fun in the capital shall we" Ed went ahead and started his day of exploring the capital of Scale kingdom.
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy the chapter. The sudden power up was needed since we're heading into a new arc!
