Chapter 167: Take Care

Norris was freaking out as he saw the black flame eat him away. His regeneration was working at 120%, yet it failed to help him against Ed's Amaterasu. Little by little, different body parts were completely destroyed with no hope of ever being healed. But, it didn't stop at body parts, the flames continued to consume the last bit of his body, down to the last strand of hair. Ed didn't want to leave room for mistakes. It wouldn't be weird if he were to regenerate from a drop of blood and end up stronger than before, or something like that.

*ding*

Acquired 10.000.000 Exp

Acquired Regeneration.

The notification brought ease into Ed's heart. It meant the Norris was killed and there would be no room for error. Ed managed to take Norris' spatial ring before completely killing him off. He descended towards Emilia and handed it to her. Her mother's body was most definitely there. Emilia was crying silent tears, and as she took the ring Ed could hear her faint voice, 'Thank you'.

'You're welcome." He answered in his own thoughts and smiled at her.

Emilia kept checking the ring and found her mother's body there. She withdrew it and carried it gently, afraid that any sudden movement would damage the body. Ed was surprised when he saw the body. It didn't look like a dead person, but instead looked like a doll masterfully crafted to reach perfection. The snow covered the mother and daughter and hid the tears dropping down. The Ice Empress and Ice Witch were finally reunited. Although, both of them would have preferred if it was done in a better way.

"Follow me," Emilia spoke to Ed while wiping her tears off. Ed did so and they were far away from the castle until they reached an underground cave. It was similar to the hideout of the bandits on the tenth floor.

"This is a secret place where only my mother and I know about. It's where my family members are buried." Ed looked around and found three coffins inside the room. Unlike the cold weather outside, the cave was warm. It was decorated with golden carpets and wall paintings. It didn't look like a burying place, but instead a grand hall in a castle. Behind the coffins, the word Eternity was written.

Emilia proceeded to withdraw a pure blue coffin from her spatial ring. Ed wondered why it wasn't taken from her when she was caught, but he quickly stopped such ideas as it wasn't really the time.

She then put the body of her mother inside the coffin. Ed guessed that she got the coffin while she was fighting in order to take back her mother's body. She then took out a broken pure white rapier from Norris' spatial ring. Ed was mesmerized momentarily by the beauty of the weapon. It was only a Legendary grade weapon, yet he could feel the thought and care put into it while it was being crafted. Unfortunately, it was broken into two pieces.

Emilie was about to put the rapier along with the body of her mother when Ed stopped her.

"I think you should probably keep it. Your mother would want that." He thought that it would be considered as a memento from mother to daughter.

"But, it's already broken. It did so once mother passed away. I think it's only fair that it goes with her." Emilia voiced her opinion, and then noticed Ed's serious expression.

"I can feel that the weapon doesn't want to be left here. It wants to come with you. If it's broken I can repair it, so don't worry about that." Ed could really feel the sword's thoughts at this moment. Although it wasn't clear words, he could tell. The rapier would prefer fighting alongside Emilia, rather than be forgotten in this place.

Emilia stared at the rapier, and tears fell down on it again. It was as if she remembered her mother's gallant figure holding the weapon. She wiped her tears and nodded towards Ed while handing him the rapier. Ed stored it and decided he would work on it as soon as they get back.

Emilia finished taking care of her mother's body and put it next to her father and siblings. She stared at the Eternity behind them, bowed, and turned back to leave. But, before leaving she felt like she heard voices from behind her telling her to 'Take care'. Emilia recognized the voices and once again started crying, this time hard. Ed next to her was frozen with fear because he heard the voices too. Ed was terrified of horror, so he didn't dare turn back. What both of them didn't know was that they heard different things. Emilia heard 'Take care' while Ed heard 'Take care of her'. Both of them would never find out about this coincidence.

Before both of them left the cave, Ed left one of his sigils. Only this time, it wasn't wood but a metal crafted one.

"If you ever want to come to visit them, tell me. It'll only take a second." Ed told her while smiling, and both of them exited the cave.

The cold wind blew in their faces as they walked outside. Emilia looked at the cave for a while, and then at the capital before heading out with Ed. Suddenly, Ed felt a sudden increase in his power. As well as many different people with a sudden outburst of strength. Both he and Emilia felt this, so she was surprised. But Ed knew what had happened. He checked his stats and was surprised.

Chapter 168: The Sixth Star

Ed checked his notifications and noticed a string of experience points. There were also about 3 Gacha tickets dropped from whatever was killed. This brought back Ed's attention to the Regeneration skill he got from Norris. He was conflicted about using it since it was from Norris, but he realized his thinking was naïve. As long as it could be useful in protecting his loved ones, he would use whatever power he can get his hands on.

"What is that? Is it some enemies?!" Emilia was freaking out due to the fact that so many strong people appeared at once. She thought that reinforcement from Blood sect appeared.

"You don't need to worry. Those are my companions." After Ed spoke to her she calmed down but was still confused. They leveled up out of nowhere so it was a rather unusual thing for her.

Ed crushed the Regeneration card and his wounds started healing. Emilia was once again stunned, and couldn't help but ask him about it.

"It's the same skill as Norris'" Ed didn't lie, but he didn't explain things either. Emilia didn't pursue things any further, as she didn't really care. She was happy enough to have avenged her mother and buried her.

"Master." "Edward!" Ed heard some people calling out to him, which turned out to be Goburou and WarGreymon. "We need you to come with us," Goburou spoke without rushing until he noticed Emilia standing next to Ed. He looked at Ed and back Emilia and then said, "Sorry for interrupting" while bowing. This caused Ed and Emilia to turn red.

"You're not interrupting anything, what's wrong." Ed tried to undo the misunderstanding but didn't try hard. All of his monsters had unique personalities, and Goburou's was the most unique one. He would either remain calm all the time or try to tease someone when he starts speaking. Even though Ed tried to explain to him, he would simply look at him and then at Emilia and smile. He looked like an older brother that found his sibling with a girlfriend.

"Nothing is wrong. We just hunted some stuff and thought you would like to have them." He told Ed as they flew towards the ocean. WarGreymon was silent, but Ed could feel that he was excited about something. 'Probably food.' Ed thought while looking at him.

Emilia was silent, but watching Goburou and WarGreymon closely. Vampires existed in this world, so she knew about them. But, she had never seen a monster like WarGreymon. She also felt that both of them were a lot stronger than what their cultivation level indicates.

After a while, they reached the ocean and Ed was ecstatic. Emilia on the other was stunned. The ocean that was usually frozen at this time of the year was melted. On the shore, hundreds upon hundreds of seafood, err sea monsters were lying dead. There were one-meter long shrimp monsters. Some eel-like long monster, an octopus, and some squids. There were also some whales and crabs. Most of these monsters were high leveled Heavenly Establishment beings. Yet, they were hunted in less than an hour.

Ed guessed that Goburou destroyed the ice blocking the ocean, and WarGreymon headed into the water to hunt. However, he didn't know why they were here so he asked them.

"Guards stopped coming so we decided to change the area. But, they still didn't come even here. We noticed the ocean and wanted to destroy it in order to attract attention. We ended up attracting monsters, not humans." Goburou explained the whole situation to Ed.

Ed flew down and started storing the bodies. Whatever he couldn't reach, he used his Telekinesis as an extended hand to catch them and store them. So many monsters were gone in less than a minute.

Some more monsters appeared in the ocean, but Ed didn't bother with them. He had a lot of uneaten ingredients just sitting in his storage. So much that in fact, he didn't know what to do with them. After finishing, he flew back towards Emilia and the others, who then headed back to the castle.

"Do you need anything from here?" Ed asked her. He wanted to know if Emilia had anything she wanted from the castle. People tend to take things such as pictures with them. There were no cameras in this world, but artists existed. They manage to draw a picture that is almost as if the real person was living inside of it. Some artists go as far as to use QI in their drawings to make them more beautiful.

"No, we can leave." Unfortunately, these portraits were all burned down by Norris once he took over. She had nothing that would interest her in the castle anymore.

"I see. Then it is only fitting if the castle follows after its master." Emilia had no intention of ruling this country. The castle should indeed follow its master, her mother.

Ed withdrew Muramasa and used Fire magic. In an instant, a heat wave filled the entire capital. It was a change enough for them to notice. The snow stopped falling from the sky, while the one on the ground started melting. With a swing of his blade, the surroundings became quiet. The people could only hear the sound of an explosion, and once they looked at the source. The castle was gone. Ed and Norris managed to blow off the top of the castle, but now nothing remained. Not even rubble. The guards from Blood sect, who were inside, were also killed. Ed could see some small amount of Exp in his notifications.

"Let's go." Ed returned and smiled toward Emilia. They all flew and met up again with Hayato and the rest who had regrouped.

"Where's Ellie?" Ed couldn't help but ask once he got there. Everyone was present except for her. He quickly checked the Map and noticed that she was somewhere inside the capital. He flew over there and met up with her.

"I was following this old man. Turns out there are six stars, not five, and this man is the hidden member. I beat him up and got this from his spatial ring." Ellie handed Ed what seemed like a Map. It was a map of all the Blood sect posts situated on their continent.
