Chapter 205: Lightning Strike

"Ha Ha Ha! I lived by the sword brat; I wouldn't lose to someone with meager experience!" Alexander spat a mouthful of blood while talking to Ed.

"I'll take that as a compliment then," said Ed as he walked towards the fallen down Alexander. Ed's arm was lopped off from the exchange, but Alexander was in a much worse state. A deep slash, spanning from his right shoulder to the left side of his waist, was bleeding profusely.

"I would have asked you to join our kingdom after I heal you, but it would be as if I spat on your pride, am I right?" Ed asked as he stood next to Alexander.

"Aye. Tis would be the best end for me! Still, I have left a whole sect waiting for my return. I do not wish for them to join me in my death. Here!" Alexander used his last remaining power to withdraw something from his spatial ring and threw it over to Ed.

It was a medal with two intersecting Katana. It was made from gold and shone as the sun's rays hit it.

"This is?"

"The Sword sect master's insignia. It is yours as is the sect. No one would dare fight you if you have it. Ah, most won't try Ho Ho Ho!" Ed could see that Alexander's life was fleeting very quickly. Dying by a wound was not the kind of ending Alexander would have wanted, and Ed knew that.

"Before you do it, I want to ask. How will you defeat Harald? He's a monster you know?"

"I left my most trusted companion to oversee the situation. I don't think he'll have much trouble with him." Ed humored Alexander and told him. "Any last words?"

"None!"

"I see…It has been the most enjoyable fight ever. Thank you!" Ed said one last sentence as he swung his sword to kill Alexander. He wanted to die by a sword strike and Ed complied. On his face, a look of pride emerged and a smile formed on his now deceased face. Ed made sure to execute him in a clean beautiful way. He was planning on returning his body to his family, or anyone that knew him in the Sword sect.

"Ed walked over to his arm and picked it up. His Regeneration was doing its best to create a new one, but it was far too slow. So, Ed cut off the part that had grown due to Regeneration. He manipulated his arm with Telekinesis and stuck it on the wound. Then, he withdrew his best potion and spilled it over the wound and the arm. He also drank some of it.

"Let's hope this works..." Ed spoke as he activated his Hatsu on his healing ability.

Back at the battlefield of the supreme commanders, a huge battle was taking place. Harald was now fighting only three opponents. Arthur, Akira, and Uther. He managed to heavily injure the other kings enough so that they needed to retreat.

"You won't be able to beat me you know? Even if this whole army dies, I'll finish the mission by myself!" Harald declared to his opponents. Arthur and the other had sustained some injuries, but it wasn't anything serious.

Harald held his Glaive and used some QI on it. He swung it towards Akira and a shockwave resulted from it. Akira managed to dodge, but Harald was about to hit him, as he had read his escape route. Still, Akira was rather experienced and knew how to avoid such a situation. He stored the saber he was using and withdrew a long pitch black Katana. He used Wind magic to fling himself away while charging his weapon.

It was a similar technique to the Void Slash used by Hayato. Harald noticed the dangerous air his weapon was giving off, so he followed him. But, he wasn't fighting only one opponent. Arthur and Uther jumped into action as they delayed Harald.

Harald managed to throw off Uther, but not Arthur. The two of them got locked into close combat. Arthur did something that shocked Haralad. He closed his eyes. Much to Harald's surprise, he also lost his sight.

"What did you do?!" As expected, losing one's sight would ruffle his feathers.

This was Arthur's Hatsu, which he could use to steal the senses of his opponents. If he puts himself under the same conditions as his enemy, then the enemy would have no way of undoing the Hatsu. Arthur used En to fight even without needing his sight, while Harald's movement became sluggish.

"Void Blade!" Akira finished his technique and released it. A Black wave kept approaching Harald, and he could run away as he didn't sense it in time. Still, he could roughly locate the position of the slash, and he charged his left hand with QI. After charging it long enough, he struck the slash with his bare hand. He managed to dissipate the slash, but he sustained some injuries to his arm. He seemed to be furious, as he started attacking anyone his senses could catch. Harald was like a raging bull, decimating anyone he could touch, and his QI didn't seem like it would end anytime soon. Arthur undid his Hatsu so he could fight better, especially after Uther had gotten deeply injured. Now, only Arthur and Akira were holding off Harald.

"You will keep dropping like flies!" He said as he swung his Glaive. A crack appeared on the ground following the trail of the slash and continued on for hundreds of meters.

Akira and Arthur kept sustaining more and more injuries while Harald was only getting light ones.

"DIE!" He shouted as he swung his Glaive towards Akira. But, for some reason, his whole body stopped. He looked shocked, and as inspected his body, he noticed dozens of shadowy hands surrounding and holding his limbs.

From the shadows, a black wolf appeared as he made eye contact with Harald.

"Something like this!" Harald tried to shake off the hands but to no avail. In front of him, Raikou's body started transforming into lightning. It wasn't his Lightning Clad, but it was his Hatsu, Elemental Body. By using his Hatsu, he is able to transform each cell of his body into an element he can use. Now, he chose to use Lightning.

Harald struggled with the shadows, but he couldn't tear them. Raikou's cultivation was now at Immortal Establishment level 4, as Ed had leveled up to level 1 after killing Alexander. But he was more than enough of a match to an injured Harald.

"Grrr!" Raikou growled as his whole body finished transforming. Black clouds started appearing in the sky above him, and his lightning body crackled. In one move, he was next to Harald's bound body. He looked at Arthur and Akira, telling them to retreat with his eyes. They did so and Raikou started his attack.

People all over the battlefield looked towards the looming black cloud.

One lightning bolt.

Two lightning bolts

Hundreds of lightning bolts started striking the same area.

Raikou howled at the sky as his Lightning Body connected with the lightning striking from the sky. Harald next to him was screaming at the top of his lungs as the pain from the lightning was unbearable.

"Roaar!" Raikou roared as one last gigantic lightning blast hit the place. Then, he discharged the entire amount of lightning that he charged in an instant. A flash of light started going through the surrounding hundred or so kilometers, and a second after, a deafening explosion sounded. The wave of light didn't end, and neither did the explosion sound.

Finally, the lightning strike receded and was followed by a thundering sound.

Raikou returned to his normal body as he had exhausted his QI. Next, to him, Harald's body was letting out smoke, but he wasn't dead yet. He tried to move, as the binding shadow hands were no more. But, a figure appeared behind him.

"You took too long to finish them off. Next time, don't play around." It was Ed who returned after finishing off his power-up. His hand was re-attached. He used Shusui and did a simple swing that turned Harald's body into cosmic dust.

"Good work everyone! The war is won," He said as he looked at the last enemy soldiers being murdered.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Shigun Shigun

Henlo everyone! Bonus chapter!!

As I told you before, I will be starting uni soon(next Monday) and to celebrate my return to hell with my readers I decided to do a little something. I noticed that the novel dropped a lot in ranks, and it's okay since I never asked for PS. But now, I'm going to do something different! If the novel manages to reach top 20 again, I'll do a mass release.

Top 20=3 chs

Top 15=4

Top 10=5

I don't want to do more as I will do only what I can do. I hope you understand^^

Chapter 206: Secret Technique

"Is what I would like to say, but I got no experience…" Ed mumbled the last lines to himself while looking towards the ashes of Harald. "Is each one of you an expert at reassembling your bodies?" Ed asked as he walked over there.

He stood still and after a while, he could notice the ash reforming. Little by little, the ash started taking the shape of a human being. Ed wasn't about to let it finish, so he used Fire magic, but the ash didn't stop and continued doing its job.

"What type of cultivation technique allows one to do this? It's even stronger than my regeneration…" Ed frowned while looking at it. After a while, Harald had a new body. It didn't have any scratches on it, and it even came with clothes.

'Even the clothes are reformed? It seems more like rewinding time…' Ed thought to himself.

"I see you weaseled yourself out of death? Want my help to get back to it?" Ed told Harald while withdrawing his three weapons. He knew that the fight would be tricky. If Harald restores his QI along with his body, then they were in deep trouble. If he uses up his QI to reform, then there was a bit of hope for Ed to beat him.

"Your little wolf won't be able to help you now. What will you do?" Harald spoke as he held up the glaive that was stuck in the ground.

"I'll manage no need for you to be concerned. Would you like me to prepare an ashtray for you, so the wind wouldn't carry you away? God knows some gale might scatter your ashes over the battlefield."

"Brat…" Harald said as he rushed towards Ed. 'It's much slower than what I expected…Even slower compared to Alexander. So he does weaken after all!' Ed thought to himself and smiled while equipping all three of his swords.

Harald struck from above, which Ed blocked using his two swords. Before Harald could do anything else, Ed hit him with a low kick to the knee. The kick was enhanced with Ren, but it didn't even cause him to flinch. Ed escaped by using Space magic and sent a flying slash towards Harald. The latter decimated it easily with his Glaive and sent a QI wave himself. The two of continued for a while, with neither of them gaining the upper hand. Harald was weakened, but so was Ed. The fight with Alexander drained him a lot.

Still, he wasn't alone.

Arthur and Akira didn't waste the opportunities created by Ed and struck when Harald least expected it. Lightning magic, Void Blade, flying slashes. Harald couldn't dodge each and every one of them and ended up suffering from injuries. Herald was panicking ever since Raikou showed up and now he wasn't in a better state. Ed's appearance proved to be even more troublesome as he was the strongest out of those present.

Ed stored Muramasa and Ame-No-Murakumo, as his Shusui glowed in a black color as it charged up its power. Arthur and Akira held off Harald for only ten seconds, but it was more than enough for Ed.

"Providence Blade!" He teleported just in front of Harald and activated his skill. The slash that resulted was more than 100 meters tall. Harald's body disappeared along with the slash. Still, there was no experience point notification.

"Why don't you just give up? Isn't embarrassing to go through this every time?" Ed frowned as he noticed Harald's body forming itself. "Still, you used it up, didn't you? He He He…" He smiled wryly as he noticed the nervous face Harald was putting on.

More and more clashes took place in the sky. Both parties were rushing to finish the other off for one reason or the other. Ed had no idea for how long his Berserk power-up was going to last and Harald didn't want to wait to find out. He wanted to escape, but his pride wouldn't let him. Ed was using his three swords again, as he didn't plan on using his Providence Blade. It consumed a lot of KI, which he couldn't spare with Harald as his opponent. He only guessed that Harald had run out of resurrection chances, but if he was wrong and he exhausted his KI to win, he would suffer the consequences.

"WHA-?!" Harald was horrified as he noticed black hands emerging out of his shadow. Raikou used his Shadow Bind again on him with his remaining QI.

"Thanks, partner!" Ed took a stance with his three swords. Muramasa and Ame-No-Murakumo formed an angle with one another as he started to rotate them. They were all clad in Haki, Ren, and the black flames of Amaterasu. His step in carried so much weight and strength behind it, that he appeared instantly in front of Harald.

"Santoryu Ogi! (Three-Sword Style)" Ed sliced, with all three of his sword, with full power and speed. "Sanzen Sekai! (Three Thousand World)" The body of Harald was cut into three parts, and all of them caught on fire by Amaterasu.

"You bastards! You won't win! EVER!" Harald bellowed in both anger and fear, the black flames consuming him up to his last cell.

Ed's face grew into a wild smile as he noticed his power-up. This was had been very fortuitous to him. One thing that he noticed was the increase in power of, not his monsters, but Arthur, Akira, and many of his comrades.

'I guess it worked after all…'

[You shouldn't have doubted me in the first place. I don't make mistakes.]

Ed smiled at the words of the system as he fainted to the ground. His KI, completely depleted.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Shigun Shigun

The ** means Ed's current cultivation compared to his powered up cultivation. His stats reflect his non-powered-up one.

I didn't make a mistake, Ed got 600.000.000 Exp points. The highest ever. But as you see, his Exp consumption is also increasing.

Also, the fight between Ed and Alexander was better because I'm biased towards the chars that I like...So of course, their end would be better...

If the novel takes back top 20 spot there will be a mass release!
