Ed inspected Suika and was shocked. She was now Earth Establishment level 3 (Level 31). She caught up with Ed and surpassed him in the blink of an eye. "System, how come Suika got so strong this suddenly?" Ed was relying a lot on the system to explain things lately.
[Remember what I told you. Certain achievements would give a boost in levels. Becoming a Legendary monster is considered such an achievement]. Ed remembered how he had leveled up for the first time. He also noticed that after becoming a Legendary monster, Raikou leveled up, but it wasn't in one go. 'I guess it was a delayed effect' Ed was happy anyway so he didn't dwell on it.
"By the way, what kind of abilities did I get from me Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?" Ed was curious to see how his abilities had developed with his eyes this time.
[You won't go blind] The system tried to mess with Ed once more. But Ed didn't fall for it this time. He simply waited until the system continued.
[Tch…] Ed couldn't believe what he heard the system do. [You can now keep your pocket dimension open. It'll be like a portable dimension. But no one can be inside it. You can also create things inside of it, at the price of your KI]. Ed was about to ask the system something, but he noticed that he wasn't done talking.
[Since the Sharingan was given through the gift at the beginning. And it has reached Legendary level. You can choose one ability to use alongside the existing one]
"Amaterasu!" Ed didn't even hesitate in choosing. Among all the abilities that he knew, Amaterasu would be the most useful for him.
[Fine] Ed felt some slight burning in his eye. He felt as if something was being inscribed on it.
"What about my Three-Sword Style skill? It is a Legendary rank skill but I didn't get any bonus" Ed was being greedy at the moment. He wanted to get as many benefits as he could.
[You can already use all the techniques related to such a sword skill. There is nothing more to give] The system shut him down perfectly.
"By the way, keeping the dimension open whenever I want doesn't help me in any way. How can this be called an evolution?" Ed didn't like the new ability. If he kept the dimension open, it would only eat his KI away.
[You can do so in order to hide from enemies. Think of it as an escape pod. Creating one takes time, so this would help you save some of it]
Ed still wasn't very convinced. He felt that such an ability would only be useful when he becomes strong enough to keep it open for as long as he wants.
'Then what about the creation ability?' Ed thought about creating a sword. One normal looking sword appeared in his hand, and he only felt that his KI dropped by less than one percent. He smiled as he thought of the many possibilities in which he could use this technique.
'Then how about...' Ed closed his eyes to enhance his imagination. In front of his, a bed appeared. "Hahahahha. What a useful ability!" Ed was having fun with his new ability. However, he quickly stopped in order to save his KI.
"I'll upgrade you guys too when I get enough cards" Ed looked towards Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu. Ed only had two Upgrade cards left, and he wanted to level them up all at once. So, he decided to wait for another time. He cooked up some steaks for dinner and started on a very important task. Ed created a bathtub and filled it with some hot water. Ed didn't get to enjoy an actual bath in a long time. So this was considered a reward for himself and his companions. After the bath, they all slept on beds Ed created.
In the morning, Ed and the others left the pocket dimension. Ed asked about the fate of items he creates and was told that they disappear with the dimension. Ed didn't keep the dimension, as he didn't need it. He checked his Map and found that there weren't many monsters around. He guessed that most of them would be in the water.
Ed moved near the water, where he noticed a group of monsters laying down. The monsters were a group of crocodiles. 'I didn't know crocodiles lived in the ocean…'. What some people didn't know, was that crocodiles could survive the salt water. Alligators had this trait as well, but most members of this species lived in freshwater areas.
"Suu!" Suika rushed at them before Ed could say anything. She probably wanted to try out her new abilities. She transformed into her human form, which was bigger now after her evolution. She had perfect facial features now and was wearing a floral dress. Her previously yellow color turned golden after a night of sleep. Making her look majestic. If not for the color, no one would be able to tell the difference between her and a human girl.
Suika extended her fingers, making them look like long whips. These 'whips' caught the crocodiles and bind them. The crocodiles were caught off guard by Suika and couldn't escape. After a couple of seconds, the struggling crocodiles started acting weird. Some of them increased their struggle. Some foamed at the mouth, and some looked like they were sleeping. Ed noticed that the effects were all similar to debuffs. 'I guess this is what her Black magic is about' Ed thought to himself.
Seemingly satisfied with the results, Suika transformed the whips into thorns that penetrated the crocodiles. The ones who didn't die from poison were killed instantly. She returned back to Ed's side, showing a happy smile. "Good job!" Ed patted her head as they walked to the next location. Ed was surprised to see that he got a Gacha ticket from killing the crocodiles.
After walking for a while, Ed noticed that some red dots were approaching them from behind. He waited for a while and noticed a couple of 'birds' flying towards them. These monsters were similar to seagulls. Except in the fact that they were extremely ferocious. They could cause tornados with their wings.
"I guess we're having bird meat tonight," Ed said while withdrawing his Katanas.
Hello everyone! Hope you liked the secret powers of Ed! Enjoy the chapter.
At night, Ed was preparing the seagulls he had hunted. Although they were big compared to normal ones, they were still not big enough for all six of them. Ed was going to prepare more than a dozen of them. After eating everything, Ed opened up the dimension and entered. He chose not to open earlier since he wanted to train, and preparing the birds inside would only be a waste of time. He set the gravity to two times the normal and doubled the time. He was going to train inside for about two hours.
His training consisted of basic muscle training and running. He was doing the simple things in order to get used to the gravity. Training the basics was always considered a good thing to do. After the two hours were up, he took a bath and slept. Ed started a schedule of hunting, eating, training, and sleeping. He followed this schedule for almost a month on the fifth floor. The reason behind this was because he wanted to pinpoint the location of the floor boss. As well as increase his level as much as possible.
The encounter with the Kyuubi made him realize the limits of his abilities. Although he had many skills, it didn't matter if his cultivation couldn't keep up. He would have been able to defeat the Kyuubi in the end. But if there was a monster stronger than it, then Ed would be in trouble. He managed to increase his level to 35, making him an Earth Establishment level 5. However, he only managed to gather five Gacha tickets. Leveling up, in the beginning, was easy. Most monsters had a cultivation higher than Earth Establishment level 5. But as he progressed, things became difficult.
The amount of exp he got from each monster became less, and now he was stuck.

The amount of Exp he needed to level was too much. He finally decided to break out of this floor. He was considered too under-leveled, but not now. He was finally able to max out Spectral Shadow Steps at level 10, giving him 100% movement speed increase. Along with total silence when executing movements. This skill has been with him for the longest, and it was very advanced compared to other rare skills. It had saved him many times before.
Ed didn't spend the last month only training. He made sure to monitor the people that were able to advance to this floor. Thanks to this, he was able to figure out the location of the monster. The last monster was killed four days ago, meaning that Ed needed to wait for three days before it could re-spawn. Ed made his way to the location and set up base there. He wasn't going to let anyone steal the next kill from him.
He spent the next three days in the same way as the last month. He trained, ate, and slept. The only difference between the gravity multiplier. Ed now had more than enough KI to increase it. He set up a 10x multiplier. The first day made him struggle too much. He was too used to 2x gravity, so the sudden change was too much to handle at first. However, Ed wasn't the type to decrease the difficulty. He enhanced himself with KI and Nen. This allowed him to overcome the pressure put on him easily. As time went on, he decreased the enhancement to make him body take the pressure.
Training with gravity was greatly beneficial to him. His KI increased on its own while he was training. His speed, durability, and stamina all increased exponentially as well. Just this month of training alone allowed him to up his abilities once more. As the cooldown time for the boss was about to expire, Ed exited the dimension along with his companions. Luckily, no other person could be seen on his Map. Unless they were an enemy, Ed could identify any person around. If they were an enemy, Ed would just kill them on the spot.
Ed followed the time in his mind. A magic circle appeared as soon as Ed's mind clock hit zero. 'So they really spawn in the same place,' Ed thought to himself. He withdrew Shusui alone and stepped up to the challenge. He was going to try and kill the monster on his own. This was his way to challenge himself. After the monster completely spawned, Ed scanned it. He wasn't surprised with the result as he had expected such a thing to happen.
The monster was an Earth Establishment level 9. It was also a legendary monster, same as the Kyuubi. The opponent this time, however, was a turtle. The turtle had a very dark green color. Seeing it, a name popped up in Ed's mind 'The Black Warrior'. This was a way to call a black turtle of legend that had an east-Asian origin. The turtle in front of him needed only a serpent as a tail and it would be identical.
It was over five meters tall, and most of its body was hidden by its shell. Ed could tell that breaking that shell would be difficult. Suddenly, it moved its neck and looked towards Ed. It had a face that seemed to be old, and with its slow body movement, one could only see an old man when looking at it. But Ed didn't drop his guard. Such an enemy was always difficult to deal with. As soon as its eyes met with Ed's, it released water from its mouth. The gigantic wave that was produced was even taller than its body.
'Tch, why do I get the Legendary monsters?' Ed complained in his brain, but he was actually glad. Stronger monsters mean more Exp. This thought was driving him to move on. Ed gripped Shusui hard and swung horizontally. He didn't use any magic or enhance himself in any way. His brute strength alone was able to blow away the gigantic wave, making small water drops to fall down.
"Now then, I hope you'll assist me in my experiments" Ed spoke while pointing his sword at the turtle.
Hello everyone! I'm sorry for the sudden power-up, but I didn't want to keep writing the same thing with him killing a monster and getting Exp. It would be better to leave these descriptions for the next floors.
Hope you enjoy the chapter^^
