Before Ed could reach the woman, the man on the grounds shot up like a lightning bolt. He blocked Ed's way, all in order to protect the woman.
'She must be very important'. Ed noticed that the man who chose to study him now decided to attack him. This meant that he considered this woman as an important person. Be it if she was his lover, or if it was simply his orders to protect her. Ed guessed that it must be orders. Since this woman's abilities definitely played a big role in ambushing strong people.
"We'll retreat, but you'll have to let us go." The man gave Ed a proposal. To him, there was nothing to think about. Avalon kingdom would be able to avoid ruin, which benefits Ed, while he and the woman could be left alive. They already lost one of the important people that came here due to Ed, but it wasn't something to fret about. The woman did not lie when she said he was simply a killer they hired. She only tried to save him because he was strong.
"No one will leave. You attacked my kingdom, but you expect me to let you leave?" Ed told the man, who was surprised by his answer.
"Even if you kill us here, you won't be able to protect everyone! Will you give up your whole kingdom just to kill us both?!" The man knew that Ed could take both of them out. But he also believed that he wouldn't be able to stop the army of monsters and cultivators down on the ground.
"And who said I won't be able to?" Once again, Ed told him. As if synchronizing with his words, a crimson-blood red tornado appeared in an area nearby. Enemy monsters and cultivators were stuck inside of it, being killed instantly. 'That must be Goburou.' Ed thought to himself. This was Goburou's Hatsu. Goburou used Transmutation to transform his aura into a blood-like substance. He manipulated this blood, allowing him to transform it however he wants. There were two aspects of this power. First, he could kill people with the blood and absorb their real blood. The absorbed blood would then be added to the aura blood and it would continue to grow. The second aspect was that whenever he infused someone with his aura blood, he would be able to control them. He could control people one level above him.
Similarly, many areas around the kingdom started experiencing weird phenomena. Lightning showers, Shadow pikes, flame balls, flying feathers, ice, and fire, as well as darkness itself. All of these things surrounded the kingdom making enemies fall one after the other. Ed's companions were not holding back in their slaughter.
"I told you, the kingdom will be safe. Unlike the two of you." Ed smiled as he looked at the pair in front of him. Both of them felt their sweat cover their backs as if a Legendary beast was looking at them directly. No, they felt something much more dangerous than that.
"I'll stall him, you escape."The man spoke, and the woman nodded. She didn't tell him a naïve thing like we'll fight together. Instead, she disappeared from her place, and the man rushed at Ed.
"What part of 'no one will leave' don't you understand?" Ed frowned as he appeared far from his original position. He swung his blade, which collided with something in the air producing a screeching sound. The woman reappeared and retreated. She had two Chakram in her hands, which she used to block Ed's Shusui. However, both of them had crumbled a little upon being hit by a Mythical weapon. Even more sweat covered the man and woman as they noticed the difference in abilities. Ed had a lower cultivation but was vastly superior to the both of them. In fact, the strongest one that came to this war from their side was the man Ed killed before.
Both of them tried a defensive battle, looking for an opening to run away. They failed to notice that Ed was simply playing with both of them. He didn't show his true abilities due to one reason. He was wary of someone monitoring them. In such a case, he would want to keep a few trump cards hidden. He already showed his companions, but all of them were hiding their true powers as well. Yet, they managed to kill everything in their path. Even some Heavenly Establishment monsters couldn't hold a candle to them. They were tempered due to fighting each other and other monsters in the tower. The last month in the second tower was especially beneficial due to them fighting strong opponents.
"This has taken long enough," Ed spoke to himself as Muramasa appeared in his hand. In one motion, Ed slashed in two different empty directions with Shusui and Muramasa. The man and woman were surprised at such an action but were soon horrified. They were slashed out of nowhere. They could tell that Ed was the one responsible, but they had no way to block his attacks. He was fighting them from a long distance, but they struggled as if he was right in front of them.
"You guys, it's time to finish!" Ed screamed, targeting his companions. Their attacks gained in strength and momentum after hearing him. Many explosions took place in front of the kingdom, and now many forests lost most of the trees. Ed felt relieved that he didn't destroy the farming grounds, as they were inside the walls.
Ed looked at the pair and withdrew four small blades from his Inventory. He had crafted many of them during his stay at the second tower. Two of them targeted the man, and two targeted the woman. Ed was controlling them thanks to his Telekinesis. Their speed was outstanding, appearing as a silver glow while gliding through the air. The pair couldn't keep up with the knives and Ed's space attacks, causing them to sustain heavy injuries. Due to them being so focused, they failed to notice Ed, who had used Shunpo's speed clones, to appear behind them. Quickly, two heads were severed and Ed burned both their corpses. Only their spatial rings remained intact.
"That's a relief," Ed spoke to himself while looking down. His companions were finishing off those that still remained from the enemy forces. Ed looked towards Eric, Bella, and Elizabeth who were waiting on top of the wall. He made his way to them. He was finally back to his home.
Hello everyone! Enjoy the chapter.
Ed looked down at the mess the war left behind. He spent about two hours fighting along with his companions in order to finish all the enemies. No one was allowed to leave alive. He met up with his companions and made his way towards the wall. Everyone had already gathered up there, waiting for him. As soon as Ed's foot touched the wall, his mother jumped at him.
"Where have you been?! How could you disappear for so long?! Do you know how worried I was?!" Elizabeth started asking him so many questions, all while using her fists to hit his shoulders. As a Heavenly Establishment, her fists did pack quite a punch, which Ed felt. He also noticed that she had never done this before. 'Was she afraid that she'll kill me?' Ed thought to himself and chuckled. Suddenly, her fists stopped, causing Ed to look at her. Tears filled her eyes as she said, "Welcome back." Although tears filled her face, her warm smile let Ed know that he was truly back home.
"We need to go back to the castle, some stuff happened there," Ed told them, as he remembered the injured Becky. He also got a fright since he now knows that Leonard is injured and can't defend himself. He was wondering if an enemy attacked him in his helpless state.
Everyone nodded and followed after Ed. They all wondered why Bella was with him when he appeared, but didn't ask her as they waited for the war to be over.
As they reached the castle grounds, everyone's hearts tightened. They could see the massacre that had happened here. Ed told them everything that happened while coming over here. He also told them he'd be responsible for everything as he was the one targeted in the first place. The people here were simply unlucky.
As they made their way inside, Ed noticed some bodies that did not belong to Avalon kingdom's people. Suika and Becky were also nowhere to be found. Ed checked his Map and found three green dots gathered in one room. 'That should be them. I'm guessing they're with Leonard.' Ed told them that Suika and Becky were here and probably went to find Leonard. He asked where Leonard is, even though he knew. But others don't know about his Map.
They all headed towards the clinical area where Leonard was at. Ed recalled his companions in order to let them rest. Raikou, however, decided he would stay with Ed. Before they entered the room, they were surprised to hear a sudden outburst.
"Hahahahaha you're a miracle child aren't you?!!!" It was Leonard's voice. At first, Elizabeth and the others thought something was wrong so they rushed inside. But then they saw Leonard being perfectly fine. In fact, he was holding Suika, with two hands, and lifting her in the air. Becky was next to them, with a different set of clothes since her previous one was damaged and full of blood. Her left side was completely healed.
"Master Ed!" She looked at Ed and tears filled her eyes. Her perfect poker face was finally broken due to her reunion with the one she spent the most time with.
"How are you doing, Becky?" Ed smiled at her warmly. Eric behind him whistling while Griffin was laughing secretly. Ed was thinking of a way to get back at them.
"Suika?" Bella made her way towards Leonard and looked at Suika in her human form. Her color and features changed, making Bella ask her if she was her.
"Yes! Suu!" Everyone's attention was now over Suika who spoke. Only now did they notice that Leonard's hands were back as if they were never gone.
"This is?" Elizabeth asked while advancing forward.
"It's Suika's power," Ed told them. Those present here were the ones that could use Nen. Oliver was also present and was taught as well. Since Ed explained to them her Hatsu, they understood what happened.
Suika's Hatsu was a miraculous thing indeed. It is called Demonic Angel and is activated once Suika speaks the name. A figure of an angel with fours wings appears. Each pair has a black and white wing, one of a bat and one of a bird. Ed thought that the figure appeared due to Suika being influenced by Merry who she gets along with. Once the angel appears, a circle of over 100 meters is established. This size can be controlled however Suika wants. Anyone inside the area is divided into enemies or allies. Enemies would suffer acid-like burns inside, while allies would be healed. However, the injuries she heals eat away at her QI. Once her QI is gone, it will start eating at her life force. Due to her being high-leveled, she is able to heal wounds like missing hands. Body parts as well, all without going over her limits.
"Suika, the bodies outside, did you kill them?" Ed asked her about the bodies he noticed. If Suika was the one who killed them, then they were enemies, if not then there might an enemy who killed them. Ed didn't notice anything on his Map, but it was better to ask.
"Yes, Suu! They appeared and tried to sneakily attack Leonard Suu! So I killed them Suu!" Suika explained her logic in a simple way. Ed chuckled at her display. She swung her hands while saying "killed them" making her look like a cute little child. He also confirmed his earlier thoughts about Leonard being attacked.
"Yaaawn." Everyone was surprised when Raikou yawned. He actually let out some killing intent along with it, shocking everyone in the process.
"Oh yeah, we're very tired right now. I'm going to go ahead and sleep, we'll catch up afterward." Ed could feel his eyelids getting heavier and heavier while he spoke. As a Heavenly Establishment, he could stay without sleep for as much as a week without being affected. However, Ed had not only remained without sleep. He crossed over two continents, fought four Heavenly Establishment cultivators, and ended a war. His sleep resistance was now almost zero. No one objected, and let him head to his room, which was kept tidy for his return. The maids and butlers still alive took care of those that lost their lives. Ed felt his heart tighten once more.
He reached his room and activated his pocket dimension. Inside, he summed all his companions and modified the room to be much bigger. He created large beds for everyone and they all slept for more than two days.
