Chapter 155: Tremors

After waking up, Ed felt that his stomach was now stuck to his back. But, he managed to endure it and headed outside to check up on things. He noticed that the door was not opened at all, which was a relief since that meant no one entered his room. He didn't tell them about the dimensions he can create. So if they entered, they would find an empty room, causing them to panic. Ed made his way to the courtyard of the castle, and he was surprised to see Leonard and Edmund chatting. Leonard was wearing his war clothes, which pushed Ed to ask him, "You going somewhere?"

"Oh, Master Ed! My apologies, I've lost the weapons you made, but I assure you I'll get them back today!" He said these words proudly, but Ed looked at him dubiously. He looked at Edmund who looked away in an instant. They did not tell him about Ed getting back the weapons and killing the one responsible. Ed sighed and took the weapons out of his Inventory.

"There's no need, I have them." As soon as Ed finished his words, the weapons were snatched away from his hands. Leonard moved at a speed not befitting his huge size. He even hugged the greatswords.

"They're back!" Leonard was truly attached to his weapons.

"Anyway, where is my mother?" Ed left him to his own thoughts and asked Edmund. He was in the castle, which meant he was granted access, so he should know such a thing.

"She should be in the office," Edmund told him something that he should have figured out on his own.

"Alright, thanks." Ed thanked him and made his way towards the office. He summoned Suika and told her she can play with Bella, as they were good friends. He also summoned all his companions to allow them to familiarize themselves with Ed's home. Sieg was reluctant at first, feeling out of place since he was an undead. But, Ed assured him that no one would treat him any differently since he is his companion.

Ed reached the office, which was Arthur's originally. Sebas wasn't at the door, so Ed knocked by himself. Elizabeth's voice sounded, telling him to enter. Ed waved her and said, "Good morning" while smiling. She responded with a smile which looked very tired. Ed couldn't help but shiver when looking at the mountain of papers she had to take care of. But, he decided to help, as it was the least he could do. She started telling him which papers to organize, and which to study. He also helped with simple calculations, as it was very easy for him. Yet, some of them were very hard to do, they were calculations of the deceased.

After a while, Ed had helped with almost everything. Elizabeth was glad for his help since she had no one to help her before. Eric and Griffin were both very busy with the sect, while most maids and butlers couldn't read. Even if they could, they had a lot of things to take care of.

As everything was done, Ed started asking Elizabeth some important questions.

"First of all, I want to know where father is." Ed still didn't know anything going on in the kingdom. Many things didn't make sense to him, so he had no choice but to ask Elizabeth. Elizabeth told him all the major incidents that happened. Blood sect amassed a greater force than they expected. Many strong evil sects joining them. They also started their assault in all four continents. Only the Central Continent was left alone. Their ability to target four continents showed how much power they have gathered.

'Aragon… that should be Emilia's kingdom.' Ed thought deeply after hearing the explanations. He was told that Emilia went back to her kingdom in order to put a stop to Norris, but now her kingdom fell. He couldn't help but worry about her as she was his friend. He also asked about his other friends' situation.

"I want to know what happened to Avalez, Schweiz, as well as the beast kingdom." Ed tried his best to remember the kingdoms of his friends. He knew Ryuu kingdom, Hayato's kingdom, was doing fine. But he had no idea about the others.

"Avalez and Schweiz are in the same situation as us. The last time I heard about them, they were still fighting. But, the beast kingdom declared their allegiance to Blood sect, along with the Oni kingdom." Ed was surprised to hear this. The Beast kingdom was Ellie's kingdom, and the impression he got from her was one of never backing down. He couldn't imagine her kingdom simply submitting to the control of Blood sect so easily. He had no friends in the Oni kingdom, so he didn't care as much. He tried to ask about the situation of some others such as Charlie. But, since he didn't know the name of their kingdoms, he couldn't get much information.

Elizabeth and Ed continued chatting for a while before She asked him, "So what caused your delay?" Ed knew this question was coming and didn't know how to respond. No one knew about the second tower, and he didn't know if he should tell them about it. But, he decided to tell her the truth, as it was better that way.

"I was in a s-" Before Ed could continue, a huge tremor spread throughout the castle. Ed and Elizabeth were worried about an attack so they got up in a hurry. Ed didn't see any red dots in the Map so he was confused. Before they left, they heard someone screaming.

"Get back here you two!!! Even if you're an angel, I'll still beat you up!" After hearing the voice, Ed couldn't help but ask himself, 'Angel?' Only one person came to his mind. He and Elizabeth left the room only to see Dorothy. Dorothy was the person in charge of cooking in the castle. She was a stout and plump middle-aged woman with red hair and a short stature. And right now, she was following two figures in the hall while waving a ladle around.

"We're hungry!" "That's right it's only because we're hungry!" The ones she was following were Merry and Agumon, who apparently stole some food from the kitchen. Agumon had all sorts of meat, with a long line of sausage flowing in the air behind him. Merry had sweets and baked goods all gathered in her hands while she was flying away. Ed couldn't help but hold his stomach while laughing. He quickly explained to Dorothy that they were his companions and that he'll take care of everything.

Before they could relax, the tremors happened again, reminding Ed and Elizabeth who were still laughing. They made their way outside, only to find Gobuta, Goburou, Garu, and Sieg fighting Eric, Griffin, Leonard, and Edmund.

At first, Ed was worried about something going wrong with the two groups. But, he quickly realized they were only sparring. Ed's group was strong, so they couldn't help but ask them for a duel.

Hello everyone! Enjoy.

Chapter 156: The Kingdom's Party

The tremors they felt were due to swords of Heavenly Establishment cultivators crossing. In reality, it was mainly due to Gobuta and Eric who were going crazy while fighting. Gobuta seemed to enjoy pressuring Eric. A smile was plastered on his face while he was swinging his sword like a maniac. After a while, the duels ended and the results came out. It was an overwhelming victory for Ed's companions. Even Leonard who had the highest cultivation couldn't win.

"You guys…You know that a war just ended, and the people are on edge. Creating such a noise during a duel is not a good idea." Ed told them while drawing his sword. "So who will be my sparring partner?!" He was excited about sparring with a human in order to test his abilities. So much in fact, that he ignored his own words.

"We couldn't beat the monsters, and you want us to beat the master? Pffft, go fight some Dragon or something, then you might be satisfied." Eric made fun of Ed while withdrawing. The others nodded their heads in agreement, ready to flee the scene if he were to persist.

Luckily, Raikou appeared next to Ed's shadow. He brought five people who were bound by the shadows.

"Hmm? Ah, you can kill them." Ed knew Raikou's goal. He found them snooping around the area and brought to Ed who can identify if they're enemies or allies. Ed checked him Map, and since they're red they could be killed. The shadows binding them dragged them inside, and terror could be seen in their eyes.

"Run for your lives or the monster will drag you to hell!" Eric joked around while escaping.

"Raikou is my companion; don't call him a monster, even though he is," Ed told him off while looking at him.

"I wasn't talking about Raikou!" Eric finally spoke after he was far away. He knew Ed didn't like being called a monster, so he chose to say it only after he was far enough.

"Monster…" Ed spoke to himself, and a second later he appeared in front of Eric. "Who did you call a monster? It seems like you've forgotten who's the older sibling huh?!" Eric was surprised since he was looking at Ed, and when he disappeared, he heard the sound from in front of him. Both of them joked around for a while before stopping. Ed headed back with Elizabeth to the office in order to continue their discussion.

"I took some spatial rings from the Heavenly Establishment people," Ed spoke while four colored rings appeared in his hand. "I'll check if there's some map or something indicating their hideout. Anything related to Blood sect would be helpful honestly." Ed told Elizabeth and chose a chair to sit on. He started going through the rings one by one. After two hours, he managed to check them all. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could help them in the fights against Blood sect. However, there was a mountain of gold that they got from the rings, as well as other precious items.

"I want to give the things in this ring to the families of the deceased." Ed was looking at the ring of the noble that killed those in the castle. There were enough valuable items in the other three that they could give up on this one. Elizabeth agreed and told him she would see to it. Those that had no families, their share would go to the orphanage.

Ed left to look at the city after finishing. He bought some items and visited the orphanage that was built. He was surprised to see that it was named 'Edward Avalon's Super Orphanage'. He stood there for almost five minutes with his mouth open. 'This must be Leonard!' Ed guessed the culprit behind this name and vowed to take revenge. His hand clutched itself into a fist.

Ed then visited Eri and the other children's graves. It was the first time in a long while, so he stayed there for almost fifteen minutes, telling them of his adventures. He left them some flowers he bought and headed towards his home. That night, Ed headed into the kitchen and started cooking along with Dorothy. She was surprised to see the exotic ingredients he brought to her. He wasn't cooking for his family alone; he invited Griffin, Oliver, Leonard, and Edmund. He also treated the remaining maid, butlers, and guards. He found out that Sebas was gone because he accompanied Arthur.

Ed asked them who named the orphanage, and it turned out to be Leonard as he expected. He looked at Dorothy, and both of them nodded in agreement. He also asked Edmund about how he found out about his identity. Turns out that Edmund has a special ability where disguises are futile in front of him. Which is why he is called the 'all-seeing eye'. After memorizing Ed's face, he 'visited' one of the employees at Central government, and got Ed's name from there. As he had a small fortune from taking the bandits' loot, it was easy for him to travel to Avalon. He wanted to return the fortune to Ed and his family, but they all declined.

After a while, the dishes started coming out, and everyone started eating. Food was abundant, and all of them were eating outside, enjoying the gentle breeze and the starry sky. Everyone choked on their food while laughing since Leonard ate something extremely spicy. Ed looked at Dorothy and gave her a thumbs up. Some sect Elders showed up, asking them how they could not invite them. Ed felt embarrassed since he actually forgot about them. Of course, they didn't get mad. They brought some dishes with them and their families and shared with everyone.

Soon enough, some citizens were attracted by the laughter coming from the castle. After finding out about the banquet, they wanted to offer some food to them. Ed and Elizabeth agreed to let them in, only after Ed checked if any enemy was amid them. The small-sized party turned into one that encompassed the whole kingdom. Everyone laughed while forgetting their sorrows, and the danger of Blood sect. some of them drunk some booze to make things even merrier, but Ed turned it down as he didn't like it. In the end, everybody went home feeling satisfied, as well as happy. Ed remained to help the maids and butlers clean up since some of the mess was caused by his companions. But, they didn't let him. So, he went to his room and slept.

A week passed by, and just as everyone was getting worried, Arthur returned.
