Ed was now in his room. In front of him, Sebas and Becky stood.
"I want you two to buy everything that I have written here. You don't have to worry about the money. I'll be providing it". Ed passed them each a paper. One paper had the items necessary for him to craft weapons. The other was for medicinal items. He also gave each one of them, 50.000 gold coins. 'That should be more than enough' Ed thought.
While waiting for them to return, Ed decided to check up on his brother and friends. He headed to the sect ground. This time he didn't need a letter from his father. After the incident, Ed was given the freedom to enter sect grounds. He was basically a freelance disciple. After a while, he reached the sect and the guards let him inside without a single word.
He looked for the people he was searching for in the training grounds. The first one he noticed was Oliver, who was training with a bow. 'As expected he chose something to do with accuracy'. Ed had experienced Oliver's accuracy firsthand back when he saved him with a rock.
"Mister Ed!" Oliver seemed to notice Ed's presence and turned around. He quickly dropped his bow to the ground and made his way to Ed.
"You should never drop your weapon!" An instructor on the side was about to rebuke Oliver when he suddenly noticed Ed waving his hand. It's been a long time now since they met, so Ed decided to help his friend a little.
"Long time no see" Ed stated chatting with Oliver. Asking him about his training, his bow, and his life now in the sect. Oliver was smiling whenever he spoke. 'It seems that he truly likes the sect here…'. Ed couldn't help but think about Eri and the children, and how their lives might have been if they came to the sect.
"I need to go and look for Griffin and Eric. Let's catch up some more later." After chatting for a while, Ed decided to continue looking for his other friends. It was already a little late, so he needed to hurry up. He would be busy the next couple of days, so he might not get the chance again.
"They should be in the inner training hall!" The inner training hall was reserved for Elders and exceptional disciples. It would only make sense that Griffin and Eric would be there.
Ed made his way inside, looking for the two. He passed by a couple of disciple and Elders. To be an Elder in Glory sect, you would need to be at least Earth Establishment level 5. Most Elders here are considered powerful. Most of them were actually at Heavenly Establishment. Only those who were unfortunate enough not to breakthrough were still at Earth Establishment.
Finally, Ed made his way to the training hall. There, he found that Griffin and Eric were sparring. While a couple of Elders were watching over them. Ed entered after greeting the Elders, trying his best not to disturb the two of them. He sat down while watching the spar of the two.
'Griffin is at Earth Establishment level 3, and Eric is level 2. Both of them really did cultivate hard.' Ed was surprised at the sudden power-up of the two of them. Their cultivation speed didn't lose to Ed's. Maybe a little slower, but still exceptional.
The two of them finally finished after 15 minutes. They turned their heads towards Ed.
"You're back Ed" "Master Ed" Eric was casual while Griffin still bowed his head to him. Ed has a good relationship with him, but it seems that he still regards him as a royalty.
"Good to see you guys. I can see that you were training hard!"
"Same for you!" The three of them started catching up. Ed didn't mention the incident in Scale kingdom. Information like that was Arthur's responsibility.
"How about a little spar, Ed?" Eric offered. 'So it came to that after all!' Ed didn't know what was wrong with the people that he knows. All of them want to fight him.
Ed agreed and headed into the ring. It was going to be a three-way battle, Ed vs. Eric vs. Griffin. There were no weapons involved, and if you get out of the circle you lose.
"Start!" One of the Elders announced. All three of them rushed at each other. Ed activated his Seikūken and Ed. Both of his opponents were stronger than him, so he couldn't mess around. In this stare, Ed could react to both of them at the same time. He was parrying both of their attacks at once. It was a three-way battle, but it seemed like they were focusing on him. Or so he thought.
Eric took his chance and kicked at Griffin. It was a surprise attack, yet the latter was able to react instantly, and caught Eric's leg, flipping him. Eric wasn't caught by surprise, so he regained his balance in mid-air, falling back to his leg. "Don't forget about me" Ed's voice reminded them both that it was a three-way battle. He kicked Eric and punched Griffin almost at the same time. Making them guard instantly.
The fight dragged on for a while without anyone gaining the upper hand. None of them were giving it their all after all. After a while, they stopped.
"You're quite the monster aren't you, Ed?" Eric told Ed the word he didn't want to hear. All of his friends called him a monster, and now his brother too. Griffin was nodding his head in agreement. It was a predictable reaction, as Ed was fighting two opponents who were stronger than him without losing. In fact, he put pressure on them most of the time.
"I need to head back for now. I'll see you guys later" Ed went back to the castle. It was already dark outside by now. He greeted Oliver who was heading to his room. He didn't live in the castle anymore but decided to live in the sect, same as the other disciple.
Ed reached the castle and ate, took a shower, and headed to his room. Most of the items he requested were bought, while some would be available tomorrow. He wasn't going to start until all items were present.
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy the chapter.
The next morning, Ed woke up late. He sparred twice so he was very tired. After waking up, Becky informed him that all items that he requested were brought inside. The total sum of the items was 70.000 Gold coins. She tried to give the rest of the money back to Ed, but he refused.
"You can split the gold coins between the maids and butlers." The amount of money Ed had given them was very high, making him liked even more.
After settling everything, Ed headed to the basement's training hall. He requested, from Arthur, to be able to use for crafting and making pills, and potions. Ed summoned Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu. Garu could use Fire magic, so he and Raikou will be helping Ed to craft the weapons. As for Gobuta and Goburou, they would be training. Whenever one was tired, Ed would summon Suika. It was the same way they trained before.
Ed was going to spend a very long time in the basement, so he asked Becky to bring them food. He also asked for some disposable beds for him and Raikou. He was planning to stay there until he finishes. Ed was planning to make weapons for each one of his family and friends. Each one of them used different types of weapons. Arthur used sabers. Elizabeth double-edged swords. Eric long swords. Griffin didn't have any preference, and Bella used Katanas, same as Ed. He was also going to make weapons for the butlers and maids who could fight. Becky used Greatswords, while Sebas used simple swords.
Ed started forging. He was going to start with the personal weapons. He wasn't going to make the usual magic swords; instead, he was going to make weapons that work the same way as Shusui. Meaning that they would be able to enhance any skill, magic, or ability used. This was because Ed didn't want them to be limited to only their preferred magic. In case they fight someone that could nullify it, they would be powerless.
As for the potions and pills, Ed was going to make them in bulk. He was practically preparing a small army for war. All the potions were his trademark healing potions. while the pills had different effects. He made bone-healing pills, blood pills, etc. All of them were for specific types of healing.
Ed spent three weeks in the basement. Only stopping to eat and sleep. He finished one week ago, but he had some leftover iron, so he decided to make them some chainmail armor. Same as the one he has. On top of that, he made some iron gauntlets for those who fought with martial arts only. He remembered Ellie's battle style, so he got the idea. He kept one of them for Ellie. He felt that the next time he sees his friends; it would probably be on a battlefield, so he was planning to help them.
Ed's finished products were on his right, while the usual magic weapons were on his left. The personal weapons all had a silver-white color. But, when some type of magic was used they would change color. They would also get an aura of that type of magic. Ed's skill made it possible to use many magic abilities with these weapons, at the same time. All the finished products were Legendary grade.
Ed didn't plan on giving Bella and Oliver their weapons just yet. Instead, he made some normal weapons for them to use until they could master them. He would let Arthur decide the correct time for them to have these weapons. He also didn't forget about General Leonard, so he made him two Great-Swords of the same quality. With these weapons alone, Avalon kingdom's military strength shot up.
Ed asked Becky to gather all the people who had 'special' weapons crafted for them. Luckily for him, Leonard just returned from one of his trips. Usually, he and at least four Elders would be out of the kingdom unless there was a state of emergency. This time he was recalled because of the news of Blood sect.
Everyone present felt some attraction to the weapons. Ed explained to them how these weapons work. No one could utter a single word. Legendary quality weapons were very rare. Ed being able to produce them, and so many at once left everyone speechless. He gave everyone their weapons. Becky and Sebas were surprised because they also got their own personal weapons. Ed let Arthur store the rest of the weapons in his spatial ring. As for the medicinal items, Ed took his share, which he would need, and left the rest to Arthur.
Immediately after getting their weapons, everyone wanted to try it out. The basement which had been quiet for three weeks had more noise than a rock concert. Even Elizabeth, who Ed never saw training, was using her Double-Edged Sword. Every time she slashed, the sword changed colors. She was using different types of magic every single time. Griffin and Eric were sparring together, while Bella and Oliver were checking their weapons. Only to have Arthur take it away and give them the normal weapons.
Oliver didn't speak, but Bella threw a tantrum. "I want the weapon brother made me!" It seemed like she took a liking to the beautiful Katana as soon as she looked at it. However, her objections fell on a deaf ear, as Arthur was having none of it. Soon, Bella calmed down and simply took the normal weapon.
"Father I would like to speak with you" Ed spoke. Arthur knew Ed would be tired after so much time, so he decided to let him rest.
"Go take a shower and sleep. We'll speak tomorrow". Only now did Ed realize that didn't take a bath for three whole weeks. He felt embarrassed and left immediately. He was going to speak about his future plans. But there was still enough time before he leaves, so it didn't matter if it was only tomorrow.
Ed and all of his companions took a bath. Inside the hot water, they felt their exhaustion leave their body. This was especially true for Ed, Raikou, and Garu. Ed left the bath and went to sleep in his room. It was the most comfortable sleep he had in weeks.
