"So this is why you had me send that detachment? To weaken the army and strike when I'm absent? Even if you do that, the detachment I sent will decimate whatever troops you had hidden. Plus, the detachment e sent towards Avalon will be back with the heads of your family soon." Harald didn't seem fazed with the forces surrounding him. Instead, he withdrew a Glaive and his QI started rumbling inside his body.
His words were meant to demoralize Ed and Arthur, but it didn't seem to affect them in any way. Elizabeth, Bella, Oliver and many others remained back in Avalon to maintain the order there. The fact that a detachment was sent to Avalon meant that they were in danger.
"Sieg. Show our guest what we prepared for him." As Ed spoke, a figure appeared next to him. Sieg bowed and disappeared, and after a couple of seconds, he came back with around 100 people. They were all zombies, raised through the magic of Sieg. Most of those present didn't know who they were, but Harald did.
"I caught these flies after they attacked my barrier," Sieg spoke and everyone could feel the aura of death surrounding him. He had created a barrier to surround the whole city of Avalon. Thanks to this, he couldn't participate much in the war as his magic was being drained by it. However, thanks to it, he was able to intercept the attack on Avalon and kill the thousand man squad. Even with his magic being bound by the barrier, it was a piece of cake to him. After the massacre, he chose the strongest hundred of that squad and turned them into zombies. They had lost most of their abilities, but they were still considered powerful.
"You…Just how much of our plan have you read?" Harald's eyes squinted as he looked at Ed. The latter smiled for a little and said, "Plan? You call this a plan? This is, at most, a child's play. Also, for the detachment you sent. They will get slaughtered." Ed said as he waved his left hand around. Harald frowned as he saw that since he was sure it couldn't be healed until months had passed.
"The ones they are fighting are not normal soldiers. They are Heavenly Establishment monsters that I hunted and controlled. All of them." Harald opened his eyes wide as he couldn't accept what was just told to him. The fact that they could control 20.000 Heavenly Establishment monsters boggled the minds of even allies, let alone enemies.
"You are too dangerous to keep alive!" Harald dashed towards Ed, as he deemed his a danger to this world. He swung his Glaive at him but was thrown away by two people. It was Arthur and Akira, as they had intercepted his attack. Harald looked at them as if they were nothing but flies, but he needed to dodge an attack. Uther attacked him with his Glaive, scratching him in the process.
Suddenly, the earth started trembling, as if an earthquake was taking place. Everyone looked surprised except Ed, who looked at the back of the Blood sect army and saw a gigantic figure approaching them.
"Ah, the last reinforcement is here." A certain friend of Ed that he hadn't met since the days of the academy has finally appeared. In the distance, a huge earth golem could be seen, and on its shoulder, a black haired girl was sitting. The golem let out a deafening roar, letting its existence be known. The soldiers of the coalition army were afraid, as they thought Blood sect was getting reinforcements. But in fact, it was their reinforcement.
The golem broke into a sprint, this caused Ed to disappear and appear in front of it with his teleport. He looked at the figure on its shoulder and smiled. "Long time no see, Stephanie! I see you got my gift!" Ed looked at his friend. She was wearing a black battle dress that covered her. It was akin to her last name.
"Long time no see, Edward. My father and his troops will be here shortly." Stephanie looked at Ed and broke into a smile as tears filled her eyes. In the same direction of the golem's origin, a dust storm raised by soldiers was raised. It looked like they numbered over 50.000. 'It seems like Stephanie's kingdom committed most of their soldiers…' Ed knew that her kingdom was not a big one like Scale or Ryuu, but they still brought out so many soldiers. Ed couldn't help but feel grateful for them.
"Let's meet up with the others. I'll need you to protect me since I didn't tell them about parts of my plan hahaha!" Ed laughed as he put his hand on the golem that had stopped. He was thinking about the reaction of his friends as they find out about his survival. The only ones that knew about it were Hayato, Arthur, Eric, Griffin, Leonard, and Dean. The last four people were told only because they couldn't allow them to leave their post, as they were pivotal to the army. 'I'll need to excuse myself a lot, especially to Bard and Audun.' Ed thought to himself as he teleported.
Ed appeared above the soldiers that were fighting. He chose this place as it was the middle of the battlefield. The soldiers felt like their heart stopped due to the appearance of the golem, as it was tens of meters tall. They immediately broke off the engagement, and retreated, some afraid they would be crushed as they were too late to move. But, the golem never touched the ground. Ed controlled it with his QI and made it float. He didn't want to kill his allies for no reason. He only had it touch the ground once he saw that no one was there.
"All troops attention! You have done well. You have done great. You have fulfilled your duty and you have deserved a rest." Ed flew above the golem and let his voice be heard by his allies. But, they were confused as they thought he was dead. They also didn't understand what he meant by 'rest'.
"I did not die, but only left to draw out the supreme commander of the army!" Ed could understand what he was talking about, and explained. "Right now he is fighting the leaders of the army, and his death will only be a matter of time!" The soldiers turned around to see sparks and explosion to the back of their camp.
"THE WAR IS ALMOST OVER AND I WILL END IT!" Ed screamed and the soldiers cheered. To the left of the enemy, 10.000 monsters approached them as Goburou led them. To the right, another 10.000 rushed with Garu at their lead. To the back of the enemy, a small army of 50.000 people approached at top speed.
"Now, it's time for payback!" Ed spoke as he changed his gear. He appeared in black pants, a red shirt, and a pitch black coat. IT was the legendary equipment he had made from the Material Gacha. His companions appeared next to him, while his friends started flying towards him.
Hello everyone! The novel is 200 chapters long, yaay! Thank you all for reading, it means a lot to me. I hope you keep enjoying reading the novel as much as I enjoy writing it!
(PS: You all forgot about Stephanie and didn't think her not being there, when Leon and the others were, is weird. Shame on you <.<)
"Before any of you say anything, let- Wait wait wait!" Ed tried to explain himself only to see Emilia and Ellie rushing towards him with killing intent in their eyes. "Hayato knew about the plan as well!" Before they could get to him, he chose to sacrifice his friend as well. Hayato opened his eyes wide at this. But, he smiled, even more, when he saw Emilia and Ellie ignore what Ed had just told him. They focused on Ed and Ed alone.
"I'm sorry for making you worry about me." Ed apologized sincerely as he was being hit by the two of them. This apology was directed to all those that had no idea about his plan. Ed had used two Transformation cards on himself and on the man he had killed. He couldn't risk the plan being found out by the lack of reaction from his comrades, so he chose to let some of out of the loop.
Ed had thought hard about the plan. He thought about using Zero Sign to sneak into the headquarters and then teleport the supreme commander. But, Zero Sign had a limited use time, so he couldn't rely on it a lot. He also had no idea about the leader's face or features. He couldn't risk it and end up taking some lower class commander instead.
He also had to burn the body of the man he killed, since he didn't know if the Transformation card would last as long on a dead body. It was also a good way for the enemy commanders not to pester him as to why he didn't bring it with him. If they had asked, he would have said that he did it to escape Bard and Audun.
"Long time no see, Stephanie. Have you been well?" Hayato chose to greet the friend watching them and giggling.
"Long time no see indeed, Hayato!" Emilia and Ellie stopped attacking Ed and turned back towards Stephanie. They were in the middle of a way, yet they had the audacity to chat. Ed breathed in relief. The attacks didn't hurt him, but it was still a traumatic experience. Once people saw his sigh, they surrounded him. It was Bard, Audun, Alicia, Leon, and Charlie.
"You've done quite the good job riling us up, huh kid?" Audun smiled maniacally as he gripped his Halberd.
"You made me think I shot your dead boy, you brat!" Bard seemed to be affected by that memory. The two of them surrounded Ed and stopped him from retreating.
"Not now, not now! We have a war to finish." Ed stopped them as he looked back at the army, still undecided on what to do concerning the golem. They also heard Ed saying their supreme commander was going to die, but they didn't believe him.
"Sieg." Ed called out to his companion and said, "You can undo the barrier. Show them fear instead and try not to get our allies involved." Sieg didn't say anything and just appeared near the foot of the golem. Next, to him, the 100 men he had turned into zombies stood.
"Raise!" Sieg spoke and a gigantic magical formation appeared. It was a large black-purple circle that spanned the entire battlefield. The dead bodies on the ground start twitching as black smoke from the circle entered them. Sieg created a massive army of the undead from all of the enemies that died. The enemies could only look in horror as their allies raised and started approaching them.
Sieg summoned the eight Dullahans and let them lead the zombie armies. The 100 men joined them and engaged in combat against the enemies.
"You guys got ready too, right?" Ed spoke to his friends, who wore the equipment he had given them. Emilia had a one-piece white dress. Ellie and Alicia had similar ones that were silver and blue in color. Hayato had a leather shirt with spikes on the shoulder, and black pants similar to Ed's. Eric had a set similar Ed's, while Griffin had one similar to Hayato's. All the others had such equipment.
"Merry, WarGreymon. You can have the first shot at the enemies in the back." As Ed spoke, those two flew to the left and right respectively. WarGreymon started charging a gigantic flame ball, which he had enhanced with QI and Nen. Merry had countless white balls appear next to her. They numbered in the hundreds and continued to increase. At the same time, they released the attacks.
Two figures emerged out of the armies and tried to stop the attacks. "Something like this is nothing!" They boasted as such. One of them tried to block WarGreymon's attack with his bare hands but found out that it was impossible. His QI couldn't help, and of course, his body had nothing to provide as a defense against the flame ball. He hands burst into flames, and soon his entire body was engulfed in the fire.
The man who tried to stop Merry's attacks turned into Swiss cheese with so many holes in his body. It was their own fault for underestimating their enemy. A trump card is a thing that appears at the very last moment, and the sudden appearance of these two should have been clear to them.
"Stephanie. You can go ahead and smash them if you want. As for everyone, you know what is needed. I'll take care of the commanders."
"Will you need help?" Hayato told him as he was worried about the strength of the commanders.
"Nope," Ed said as he flew towards the commanders' tent that he had just left. Garu and Goburou laid waste to the armies of the left and right with their monster armies. Gobuta and Suika took care of the back and started dealing massive damage to them. The Blood sect army was caught off guard and took a long time to organize its thoughts. By that time, Ed's friends and companions had joined the fight and messed the enemies up even more. The greatest factor was the fear induced by the undead army Sieg had created.
"I'm back. Did you miss me?" Ed told the commanders inside the room. He had returned just as he promised.
Hello everyone! I'm sorry I couldn't do a better job describing the equipment Ed had created. Once I can do a better job, I'll explain them in a future chapter.
Enjoy!
