Chapter 192: One Week's Time

Ed spent a little over four days refining the weapons. Thanks to his dimension, he managed to reduce the real-time to two days and a half. He managed to increase the rarity of the weapons that were rare, or below, to Epic. And, while he didn't manage to level up Bard and Audun's weapons to Legendary, he knew that they close.

"I'll leave them to you, Sebas," said Ed. He put the pile of weapons in front of Sebas and returned back to his room. He felt that it was an annoyance to activate and deactivate the dimension ever time he needed something outside his room. His EMS ability helped him majorly in ever since he got it, but as expected he thought about upgrading it. Upgrading his skill didn't guarantee improvements, but he hoped that would be the case.

"Guburou, Garu. You guys remember the training we did back at the academy, right?" Asked Ed while looking at the two of them. They nodded to affirm and he proceeded to speak.

"We'll be doing something similar. I need to improve my Haki, and you guys will need to improve your Nen." Ed created a blindfold, which he proceeded to put on. He then activated his Ren at his maximum potential, and after looking at him do it, the other two did the same. The sand surrounding them was blown away by their aura fluctuations.

"We won't stop until we exhaust our energy," said Ed while unsheathing Muramasa and Ame-No-Murakumo. Both of the weapons seemed somewhat impatient when Ed held them. As if they sensed that they needed to improve, or else they would be overtaken. The appearance of many Legendary weapons and Emilia's rapier which was the closest to Mythical grade must have brought this change.

'Soon…' Ed thought to himself while he started his training with Garu and Goburou. Ed didn't use Seikuken or En. He relied only on his Observation Haki which needed some improvement.

Ed activated Haki and found himself inside black space as if it was drawn on paper. Sand particles appeared as small dots inside the black space surrounding Ed. A little further away, two pure white figures stood on both sides of Ed. He was able to visualize Goburou and Garu in a perfect way without needing to look at them. The two figures crossed the distance between them and Ed in a fraction of a second.

Slash, block, parry, and counterattack. Dozens of actions happened in the span of mere seconds. The sand surrounding them blew away every time two weapons clashed. The sparring session looked like a fight to the death instead of a simple training. Diamonds could only form under extreme pressure. Ed believed the same to be true for improving one's fighting prowess. His body filled up with scratches from attacks that he failed to dodge but healed up by his Regeneration. The battle continued for hours, and by the fourth hour, all three of them took it up a notch. Goburou activated his Hatsu and created two clones of himself, while Garu started using flying slashes and magic.

As the pressure on Ed increased, he gave in and activated Ryusui Seikuken along with his En. His fighting capabilities increased once more and he went toe to toe with all of them. Goburou and his two clones used their speed to shoot out flying slashes from all directions. Ed's swords shined with their respective color and released flying slashes as well. Three slashes vs. two. One might think that Ed would lose, but that was not the case. His two slashes managed to cancel the three targeting him. This resulted in a huge explosion that sent the sand around them flying.

Garu emerged from the sand cloud and used his Glaive to slash downwards at Ed. Ed blocked with his weapons in a cross shape, but before he could pull out, Gary used his Ice magic to stop Ed. It was the same tactic he used back in Aaragon. But, unlike his opponents in Aaragon, Ed was experienced enough to overcome it. The two swords released their magic in a spiraling way. Wind and fire continued to eat away at the ice, reducing it to nothing in a fraction of a second. Garu tried to overpower Ed and send him flying, but he didn't expect him to let go of his swords. In fact, Ed stored them before backing away half a step.

He withdrew Shusui and slashed at Garu who was still mid-swing. Garu retracted his Glaive and used it to block Ed's attack. This exchange lasted for a couple of seconds as Goburou joined in once more with Garu.

By the seventh hour, all three of them were panting hard and sweating even harder. They ate up all of their energy and exhausted their muscle strength. Ed chose not to heal up with a potion, as that would reduce the benefit of their training. He created an area where they could sleep and did so for about eight hours. Their bodies managed to heal up as they were used to such intense training. Ed cooked them something, and once they finished eating, he focused on refining pills and potions.

Ed's speed at refining surpassed anyone's wildest imagination. As long as he had enough materials, he could make a potion in less than a minute. He created the potions and pills for five hours and then resumed his training. Once the two days of his dimension ended, he would check up on the results of the outside world. Blood posts that got destroyed, countries that responded to the danger of the invasion, and many other things.

This schedule went on for a week of real time, and then Ed proceeded to his second phase of the plan.

"Garu and Goburou will come with me. We have many things to do. You don't need to destroy any more Blood posts; you should just focus on your training. Sieg, how's the thing we discussed going?" Ed and his companions were standing outside Avalon discussing some things.

"I should be able to do it, and it'll stay forever unless it's destroyed, or I am," Sieg answered Ed's question with the details he needed to know.

"I see. Thank you all for your hard work. We'll meet again in one week's time."

Hello everyone! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 193: Suicidal Plan

"Our lookouts in port city returned just now. The armies are here and they've already started making their way north. It'll take them about two days to reach us." Leonard relayed some news inside of a room filled with kings, princes, and generals. One would never think that such a group up was possible, but thanks to war, it did.

"That's fine, we're prepared. Let the soldiers know we'll move out at night and intercept the army before it can make its way to Avalon." Arthur got up and started discussing things with Leonard. He found out that the armies that came would meet up with the surviving Blood sect members scattered around the continent, and their allies, the Beastmen and Oni. They managed to amass an army of 200.000 soldiers by having multiple kingdoms meet up and fight against Blood sect. Still, their enemies outnumbered them 5 to 1.

"Sir Arthur, is Ed not back yet?" Hayato came up to Arthur and asked him. Next to him, some of Ed's friends waited for an answer.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon, don't worry." Arthur smiled and reassured them. Ed had his way around disappearing during critical times, but he would appear no matter what.

Alicia and Uther were talking, as she had left Scale kingdom in order to train at Avalon. Both of them heard Arthur and nodded along with his words. They knew just how much they could depend on Ed, and how he didn't disappoint.

Avalon was busy for the last couple of days. The armies of different nations set camp right next to it. Problems happened between different soldiers; either due to old grudges or new ones, but their generals hurried up and put a stop to it. People felt sick in their stomachs and couldn't stop thinking about the worst outcome. If not for their respective kings leading their armies, the morale of the soldiers would be rock bottom.

Avalon's soldiers weren't in a bad position compared to the other armies, same as Scale kingdom's. The last liberation war of Scale remained in their heads, while Avalon's soldiers remembered Ed's gallant figure. His presence could have helped raise the morale a bit more, but there was no use crying over spilled milk.

Inside of Glory sect, ten figures stepped outside of a room and the disciples started cheering. The ten Elders of the sect carried a certain charisma that wouldn't lose to any normal general. After being endowed with Ed's upgraded weapons, they looked even more daunting.

"It's a war, Bard."

"It certainly is, Audun."

Bard and Audun chatted with each other while smiling. Their blood boiled inside of their veins and their QI danced in their bodies. After a long absence from the battlefield, they were finally back.

The armies marched outside of Avalon and prepared for departure. The generals made sure to keep the food supply of each army inside a spatial ring they kept with them at all times. Right as the kings emerged out of the castle, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Edward!" Leon, Charlie, and Liza rushed out from the group and surrounded the figure as soon as they managed to recognize it.

"Long time no see, you guys." Ed smiled as he also recognized them. Charlie didn't change much, as his black hair and eyes shined as brightly as ever. Liza seemed to let her hair grow longer. Her orange hair grew even redder, and her skin was fair and white. Ed had already met Leon before, so his changes weren't unknown to him. Garu and Goburou stood right behind Ed and released an intimidating aura. It seemed like they were concentrating on something.

"We don't have much time, so let us catch up some more once we win this war." Ed's words came as a surprise to most people present. Many of them were thinking about minimizing the damage or reaching a stalemate with Blood sect. Some simply wanted to die in a blaze of glory. Yet, Ed was confident in winning. If someone asked them now, they would say they felt their morale rise just by his words.

Those that marveled in Ed's confidence started holding their breaths one by one. His companions that did their own thing started gathering as they felt his return. Ed leveled up to Heavenly Establishment level 10, so all of his companions were Immortal level 3. Most of the kings present were above Immortal Establishment, but they had never seen so many monsters with such a level inside a kingdom.

"Father, Sir Akira, and Sir Uther. I would like to speak with you," said Ed. The three of them looked at each other and nodded. "Hayato, you as well." Five people walked back inside the castle. Those that remained outside remained puzzled as to what happened, but more pressing matters took priority, so they left.

"Here is fine." Ed stopped them in the corridor and created a barrier around without notifying them. Yet, they could still feel the change in atmosphere, as all the sounds and odors disappeared.

"I took the liberty of traveling around the continent this past week preparing for some stuff. And I will tell you about it right now." Ed started speaking while the others listened intently. The more he told them about his plans, the more astonished they became. His plan baffled all of them, and at the end, Hayato couldn't help himself.

"Ed! That's suicidal." His eyes opened widely and his face and his face looked aghast.

"But that's what we need to win. We're up against an overwhelming amount of enemies. They can control monsters, and they have allies. If we don't come up with a suicidal plan we'll have to kiss our lives goodbye." All of them knew that Ed told the truth. They felt it themselves and they could see no way out of this war where they come out on top. Now, they had no choice but to rely on Ed's strategy.

"No matter what creature it is, once their head falls off, they die." Ed left them with these words as he undid the dimension. Although unwilling, the others accepted his plan and were going to follow through with it.

That day, the armies finally departed from Avalon. A gruesome war awaited them.
