Chapter 201: The Promised Return

"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.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Shigun Shigun

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!

Chapter 202: Immortal Establishment Level 4

"Did you miss me?" Ed spoke in a rather relaxed manner for someone entering the enemy range. As expected, no one bothered to talk to him, and the old man with the long katana sent a flying slash towards him.

"Not exactly the kind of welcome I would have liked," Ed said as if the attack didn't concern him. He used Space magic and redirected the attack towards the quiet young man.

The young man put his hand up and blocked the attack, causing an explosion to go off inside the tent. This caused the tent to blow away and the five of them were exposed to the sun. The young man opened his eyes and glared at Ed.

"Don't look at me like that; I only did it to protect myself. He's the one that attacked first." Seemingly in a playful mood, Ed mocked the commanders.

"Let's do this the right way, shall we? No need to be 'so serious'!" Ed clapped his hand and walked to a position where all four of them were in front of him.

"Ah, it's kinda noisy around here. Let's change the scenery." Ed clapped his hands and the surroundings changed immediately. It still looked like a wasteland, but there was no sun. It was nighttime so the moon and stars illuminated the place along with several torches spread around the area.

The four commanders felt a shiver go down their spine as they tensed up. All of them withdrew their weapons and were about to rush at Ed.

"Wait wait, we'll fight but in a second. We still haven't introduced ourselves."

"My name is Edward Avalon, son of Arthur and Elizabeth. The one who will murder you all in a second," said Ed while bowing towards them. The four commanders seemed unimpressed, but they put their weapons away and did the same as Ed.

"Maria," said the woman that seemed to be acquainted with the man that was killed by Ed. She didn't bother to ask about his fate, as Ed's presence said everything.

"Alexander. By the way, kid, if this is your doing, you have bad taste." The old man said while looking around at the surroundings created by Ed's dimension.

"Letif," The quiet young man said and went back to silence.

"Adriana," the silver-haired woman said. Before they could do anything, Ed looked at her and said, "Lilliana, the person that was sent to Aaragon. Was she your sister?" Just as Ed finished talking, Adriana rushed at him with an incredible speed.

She was told that her sister was killed in a horrific way, but she didn't know who did it. No one realized who Ed and the others were back in Aaragon since only the guards were still alive. She couldn't spare the time to go back and interrogate the guards, and she couldn't even recover her sister's body since Ed had incinerated everything in the castle.

"YOU I WILL NEVER FORGIVE!" Adriana approached him at a speed unlike any he had seen before. However, he had done his job, as he riled her up enough so she wouldn't be able to focus on fighting.

"I'm the one that will never forgive you for your deeds." Ed's expression turned into a serious one as he withdrew Shusui. Those that saw the weapon remembered it and put on their guard, except Adriana. She continued her charge even though she saw Ed preparing to attack. She tried to use her speed to catch him before he could finish preparing, but she failed, as just as she was in front of him, he released a flying slash.

"Kuh!" Adriana frowned as she blocked it with both her hands, making her retreat tens of meters to the back. Then, she did a movement with her hands, as if slashing with them, causing the slash to dissipate.

"Is that all you can do?!" she shouted and approached him again. Ed's slash didn't injure her, as only a patch of red skin appeared on her delicate arms.

"Of course not," said Ed as appeared behind her, attacking her with another flying slash. But, before he could do anything more, he was attacked by Alexander. The old man's speed was more terrifying than Adriana, as he pursued Ed without lagging behind.

"So, level four, five, six and seven. Did you guys decide on this order of cultivation level or is it a coincidence?" said Ed as he studied their levels. All of them were above Immortal Establishment level 4, which means stronger than Edgar who fought Arthur.

"As expected, it's too much even for me, hmph!" Ed barely dodged an attack by Maria, who seemed to use her hands instead of a weapon. Adriana recovered and assaulted Ed back with a rapier in her hands.

"Oh? Why are you retreating, Sir Alexander?" Ed found it odd, as he saw Alexander sheathing his Nodachi and retreating to the back.

"I do not wish to kill you in such a state." Ed thought about it and finally understood. Alexander was talking about fighting one on one, but in this case, Ed was already fighting two at once. Alexander retreated once others interfered.

"I don't really mind, you know?"

"I'm glad you don't because I'm not as chivalrous." Letif appeared behind Ed with a saber in his hands. He attacked him so many times per second that Ed actually got a couple of cuts on his abdomen and arms.

Maria then attacked Ed with a high kick, which he guarded with his shoulder, sending him flying. He crashed a couple of times on the ground, and when he got up he found Adriana trying to stab his eyes. He escaped by using a short teleport.

"Okay, time out! Just like I said, this is too much for me right now. But of course, I know my limits, so why did I come here to fight you people at once?" Ed's words hinted that he had a trump card, making his opponents put up their guard even more.

'Activate the Berserk skill,' Ed spoke to the system in his mind.

[Are you sure? We didn't try it out you know?] The system asked him, knowing what his answer would be.

'It's okay. We're the only ones here, so I won't hurt anyone before collapsing.'

[Alright.]

All of a sudden, the commanders could feel Ed's power increasing.

Immortal Establishment level 1.

Immortal Establishment level 2

Immortal Establishment level 3

Immortal Establishment level 4!

"Aaah! I can still think straight hahaha!" Ed's outburst of laughter shocked the commanders. Even his voice carried hints of his power-up.

"Really, my luck was really good," Ed spoke as he looked at a skill in his status.

Name: Parallel Thinking (Mythical) Level 3

Able to focus on three things at once, as if you have three brains.
