Chapter 188: Taking Back Scale Kingdom

Arthur continued to power-up until his QI overpowered anything in its vicinity. Especially now, since all other major fights were over. Edgar started doing the same thing. Both of them were planning to finish the fight at the next exchange.

Their QI formed a gigantic sphere around them, and soon the two spheres collided. Those that weren't strong enough didn't know the significance of such a thing. As soon as they collided, the fight had already started. It was now a fight of who has the more refined QI. To the untrained person, it looked like both of them were equal. But in reality, one of them had a clear advantage.

The two QI spheres turned into a solid-like state, and a wall formed at their intersection. Lightning sparks resulted due to this. Everyone watching the fight felt something tug at their hearts. In the next instant, the two fighters withdrew their QI into their bodies. Another instant passed and they flew towards each other at their greatest speed.

"Blood sect will be the VICTOR!" Edgar screamed as he slashed towards Arthur. "…" Arthur didn't answer him but only slashed as well.

Like their QI before, their weapons collided this time. A huge shockwave resulted and spread all around the castle grounds. Walls crumbled and decoration trees were pulled away from the ground. The shockwave decimated anything in its wave. It even managed to kill some low leveled soldiers. Only those that have a cultivation level of at least Heavenly remained unscathed.

The two weapons clashed even more against each other. Edgar pushed with his entire strength but didn't seem like he was going to overpower Arthur. He was biting his teeth so hard that his molars cracked. His eyes bled due to the pressure on them.

"How?! How are you able to be so strong when you lived your life in peace?!" Unable to accept what he was experiencing, Edgar questioned Arthur.

Although Arthur was holding himself against Edgar, he wasn't taking it easy. Edgar is a strong opponent that Arthur couldn't take it easy on him. Both of them injured each so many times during their clashes. Even now, Arthur's arm muscles tightened hard, and his veins spurted out blood due to his strong grip.

"You ask me why? You should ask yourself how we were able to best Blood sect a hundred years ago. It's because we are simply better, stronger, and we fight for others not just for ourselves." Arthur spoke as the faces of his wife and his children passed through his mind. The last to flash in his mind was Ed. How he was always bed-ridden. How he surprised him with his strength when they first sparred against each other. His growth as a person after he experienced loss for the first time. And finally, how he taught Arthur Nen to be able to protect himself and his family.

Arthur released the entirety of his Nen aura in the form of Ren. He didn't bother to use Ken after it as he wanted to enhance his all body without paying any attention to defense. Arthur's Nen had a golden color like Ed's. After releasing all of it, he appeared as a bright shining star in the night sky.

Edgar noticed that he was being overwhelmed at a frightening rate. His sword was about to give in and break, while his whole was screaming in pain. His face contorted into a frightened look as fear took over him.

"Wait!-" As Edgar was about to plead for his life, Arthur released the entirety of his strength into one final sword swing.

A sword was broken, a body was cut in half vertically, and a sky shone as if to celebrate the winner. A tearful Edgar plummeted to the ground in two halves, while a tired Arthur flew down to his group.

"Good work, father." Ed, who had joined the others at some point, welcomed his father back.

"Our work still isn't over, Edward. It's time to truly take back Scale kingdom." Arthur spoke to everyone present, and they understood what he meant.

The people of the capital had been watching everything. Those that supported Blood sect knew what was coming and despaired. Those that opposed Blood secretly cheered in their hearts. They were still afraid, so they couldn't celebrate openly. But, the next words spoken by Arthur would bring them relief. As well as give them the hope that they had been holding on to.

"Scale kingdom's citizens. The rightful king, Uther Scale Pendragon, has returned!" Once everyone felt that they had been truly saved, they let out a unified cheer. The other cities that had no idea what happened in the capital still felt something and looked in its direction.

Ed and the others continued to hunt the remaining members of Blood sect. The general's group, along with Leonard and Edmund were looking for the traitorous nobles. The noisy capital quieted down, and soon the sun peeked at them from the east.

Ed was silently watching over it. Some memories flooded to his brain, and some tears accompanied them. It was truly difficult to forget a loved one. However, he wasn't alone. Someone tugged him from behind, which turned out to be Emilia.

"Good job out there." She smiled at him as if to soothe his heart. Behind her, Griffin, Eric, Ellie, Alicia, and Oliver were waiting for him. His companions had never left his side and looked at him from below.

"Good job to you too," said Ed. All of them regrouped with others.

Uther had to make a speech to the masses. The army was quickly taken back and was tasked with the liberation of the other cities. The heads of the traitorous noble houses were to be executed. Their families were spared but they were demoted by one rank of nobility. It was truly a carrot and a stick.

Ed teleported back to Avalon to let the others know that they were successful. Uther's wife broke down in tears of relief, but he let her know that she was needed back in her kingdom.

Everyone was happy about the situation, so Ed felt bad. But, he had to do something important. He had to let them know that an invasion will be coming.

Hello everyone! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 189: Preparation

Inside of a room in the royal castle, many faces turned grave. These faces almost cramped up due to the sudden change from happiness to worry. Ed told all those that hold an important status about the invasion Blood sect will be doing in two weeks' time.

"Did you get any information concerning their number?" Uther asked in worry, as he knew the severity of the situation. His kingdom was just taken back, so it was weakened. On top of that Aaragon kingdom is in ruins so they can't rely on it. Two out of three great kingdoms of their continent were out of the count, so they were stuck in a very sticky situation. They would be relying on Ryuu kingdom, but even then who knows if they'll be able to overcome this situation.

"You can expect a total domination in quantity. I've been hunting Blood sect posts, but it's still like a drop of poison in a pond of water. It's not enough. Plus, we need to be wary about the strong ones. They managed to dish out ten Immortal just for Scale. They're planning to take over a continent, so we can expect at least fifty of them. Granted, they may think that there won't be much resistance, but they plan on dominating. We're in deep waters right now." Ed didn't pull any punches when explaining the situation. They couldn't go into this war without being prepared for the worst.

"We'll need to notify Ryuu kingdom as soon as possible. The other kingdoms also need to know about this. Ed, I'll need to head back to Avalon as soon as possible." Arthur didn't want to waste any time. He knew that losing this war means losing everything. Avalon was created during his father's time, and he didn't want to let it end at his generation. They have been strengthening the sect just for this reason.

"I'm going to go back as well. I need to prepare a lot of the things for the war." Ed nodded towards those that will be staying in Scale kingdom. Before he could teleport back, he was stopped.

"Edward. I'm going to ask you to take Alicia with you. She has improved much more in the short time she was staying with you. Please, take care of her." Uther's words may have seemed normal to most people, but others interpreted it differently. Uther knew that if push comes to shove, Ed can run away from this continent. His space magic's abilities proved this to them in the latest period of time. He knew that Ed would prefer death over abandoning his family. But they also knew that Arthur would not allow his children to die. Uther hoped that Ed would be able to save the young'uns with himself.

"You should at least let her stay with you for a couple of days. I'll come back to take her to train afterward." Ed didn't deny him his request, but he wasn't planning on escaping anyway. Of course, this meant that he was planning on winning the war rather than thinking of losing.

Ed teleported himself and the others back to Avalon instantly. Elizabeth and Bella were waiting for their return, so they tried to greet them. But, they soon noticed their faces and decided against it. Elizabeth simply followed Arthur and Leonard who were heading to the office. Eric, Griffin, and Oliver returned back to the sect in order to notify the Elders. Edmund accompanied them as well. Ed, Emilia, and Ellie remained alongside Ed's companions.

"I'm going to need to prepare a lot of things. Emilia, Ellie you two should do whatever you want. Just ask Sebas or Becky if you need anything." Although Ed said they could do anything, he knew what they planned on doing. They were going to focus on cultivating and training. They used the basement so at least he knew where he could find them.

"Follow me, guys," Ed spoke to his companions as they moved at once. He created a dimension and started speaking about his own plans.

"I'm close to breaking to level 10, but I probably won't be able to attain Immortal Establishment in two weeks. There is almost zero chance that I will be able to beat the leader of the army. Nor will anyone else be able to. At least, not alone." Ed knew that the difference in levels was too huge to be overcome. Yet, he didn't give up. He was calculating and studying different plans thanks to his Strategy skill.

"The army will most likely come through the port city, from the central continent. I believe that they won't endanger themselves by coming from the western continent. We'll need to clear out that area during the next two weeks. The battle will be happening south of Avalon." As Ed was studying the map of their continent, he came to such conclusions. The safe routes in the sea were the ones connected to the central continent. Traveling from one of the other four continents to the other was dangerous, due to the existence of high-level sea monsters.

Ryuu kingdom in the east, Scale in the west, and Aaragon in the north. These countries wouldn't meet up with the army along with the neutral port city. Instead, Avalon that was in the center had the bad luck. This pushed Ed to think up even more about his plans. He knew that the scattered posts would join up with the army. The least he could do was further reduce their numbers.

"Raikou, Gobuta, Agumon, and Sieg. You guys will be responsible for the destruction of the posts. Merry and Suika will be training with Ellie and Emilia. Alicia will join you so train her as well. We need to focus on the strong combatants in the hope of them doing the most work. I'll be holed up in my dimension creating potions and training. Goburou and Garu will be helping me." Ed laid out the roles for each one of them. He undid his dimension to let everyone head to their jobs. He also opened the Gacha function, as he needed to heal a couple of people.
