Chapter 240: 'It's a Hit!'

The morning sun's rays pierced through everything, finding their way into Ed's eyes. The uncomfortable feeling of light continued to swell inside of him until he gave up and opened the covers on his eyes. He only spent one night in the beach, yet he felt like an eternity had passed as he slept.

Ed didn't need to do much in order to wake up his comrades. He released a gentle wave of Ki that rushed all over the place, enveloping its targets in a warm embrace. The Ki quickly did its magic, as the other ten companions opened their eyes in succession. With their high cultivation, they didn't suffer any drowsiness and instead were ready for anything.

"Morning everyone. We're leaving in half an hour, so if you need to take care of something, do it now," Ed said as he walked over to face the beach. Since he could immediately change his clothes, he didn't need to waste time. Thus, he waited by the calm sea water.

"We're ready." Ed, whose eyes were closed, turned around as he looked at his companions. Not even ten minutes had passed before they appeared behind him. Raikou, Suika, and Agumon didn't really need to change their clothes, but simply hung around the others, giving Ed some room. As for Emilia and Bella, they were wearing a red and a white robe. Emilia's natural blush was enhanced by her crimson robe, giving her a mature charm, while Bella's robe represented her purity.

"Mehen, we're going to bother you while we're on this continent." Ed patted the head of Mehen who hung around Garu's head. Mehen nodded his head while descending. His size kept increasing until he reached his maximum potential. Ed and the others got on his head while the dimension around them started to crumble into minuscule pieces of jade glass.

"Let's go." Mehen moved at his greatest speed as soon as Ed gave the order. Although he was moving at an incredible speed, with his gargantuan body, he caused minimal damage to the surroundings. From an untrained point of view, it would seem as if he was simply an illusion. But, for those with a decent level of strength, they would be able to notice how his body was slightly levitating.

Ed crossed his legs as he sat down on Mehen's gigantic head. He closed off all his senses, focusing only on his sight which was set on his Map. His plan was to monitor the dots on his Map, and he would stop anytime a green dot came up. He knew his plan was rather inconvenient, but it was the best he got. The only ray of hope he had, was Arthur's information, confirming his Grandfather's existence in this continent. As well as the fact that this was his first time coming to this specific continent.

The latter meant that no matter what, the amount of green dots would be quite limited. Meaning that the chances for his grandfather to be among them were high. Alas, this also meant that he would encounter more red and blue dots compared to green dots.

Compared to Ed, his companions enjoyed the trip. The air didn't bother them much since Ed made sure to block the incoming air with his Telekinesis threads. Of course, even if he didn't do such a thing, they would be able to handle it, since they were used to such air pressure from flying.

Due to the size of the continent, Ed knew that they would need at least four days of nonstop searching in order to cover it all. Their missions had only just begun.

Three days passed with Ed passing next to the populated areas of the continent. During these three days, many kingdoms declared a high degree of danger due to the sightings of Mehen. Of course, none of them dared to make the first move. They knew the danger of angering such a being, so they let him move away. They only planned to move if Mehen targeted them, which, of course, wasn't Ed's objective.

"E..a.d…Edward. Edward!" Ed snapped out of his daze as he heard a voice keep calling to him.

"What is it?" he answered without even confirming whose voice it was. He knew that he could figure out the owner of the voice after hearing it once more.

"You haven't had anything to eat or drink. Maybe it's time to take a rest. Mehen should also be getting tired." Emilia's gentle voice simulated Ed's ears which were deactivated for the past three days.

"Hmm…Maybe you're right." Ed knew that Mehen wasn't tried. He, in order to wait for Ed, fought for one year straight with an even lower cultivation. He wouldn't get tired after only three days. But still, he chose to take Emilia's advice and stop for a couple of hours. He didn't have much ground to cover after all.

"Still, you guys are horrible aren't you? Cooking on someone's head. And not even giving me some of it!" Mehen voiced his displeasure as he grew smaller in size.

"We're sorry Mehen, we didn't want to interrupt you and Ed when you were concentrating so hard." Emilia apologized as she stood in front of the small Mehen.

"Alright you're forgiven," Mehen hissed as he rested on Ed's shoulders.

"You guys cooked while we were working…" Ed voiced his displeasure as he looked at his companions. Each one of them avoided his gaze by turning to the side, and whistled to declare their guilt…Innocence.

Ed let out a sigh as he said, "I'll cook something for us, so wait for a little." He didn't activate his dimension and instead started to cook with some of the utensils he had ready. This, however, didn't mean that the meal tasted any worse. Ed's cooking skill made anything taste good.

The group didn't waste any time and ate rather quickly. They knew that they hard pressed for time. Still, albeit short, this break served as a much-needed refreshment for Ed and Mehen. The two of them resumed their stances and darted off in the distance on Mehen's head.

A little less than half an hour passed before Ed noticed a green dot on the corner of his Map. His eyes opened wide as he thought, 'It's a hit!'

Chapter 241: Vortigern Avalon

PS : Chapter 240 has been updated. You need to read that chapter in order to understand what is going on in this one!!

============================================================

Ed's heart raced as he quickly ordered Mehen, "To the east!" Mehen registered the order in an instant and changed his direction, causing those that weren't ready to stumble on his head.

"Ed, does this mean that…?" Emilia regained her balance and moved closer to Ed. Her face showed just how many questions she had, but decided to wait for Ed to finish everything before asking him.

"I don't know if it's him, or if it's someone else. All I know is that for the first time, we finally encountered something friendly in this continent!" Ed smiled as he felt a bit relieved. But, his relieved heart churned as he felt an intimidating power coming from the direction of the green dot.

Ed wasn't stupid to question the Map's accuracy concerning the discerning of enemies or allies. Its previous perfect record along with his system's accuracy proved everything. However, the intimidating feeling that everyone felt was more than enough to make them nervous. It was as if an enemy was trying to warn them not to approach.

'He's considering us as enemies…I should have figured that he wouldn't allow us to get close that easily. We can't even announce ourselves as his grandchildren since we don't even know if he will believe us. He'll need to see us, but in order to do so, we need to close in on him. I guess it's a gamble!'

Ed thought of the possibilities before he said, "Forward, Mehen!"

The intimidating feeling increased as they approached, suddenly it turned into hostility. Ed, still adamant on getting closer, made sure to extend his Telekinesis threads all over the place in order to prepare for an incoming attack.

Less than one thousand meters separated the two of them, and yet Ed couldn't find his grandfather's figure. The thick blanket of trees covered everything under them.

"Sieg, Gobuta! It's an attack!" Just less than 500 meters between them and Ed noticed the sky above them twisting and turning as if it was in pain. He could only think that they were being attacked. After all, they were warned on their way, and only attacking was left.

From the twisting sky, a pure wave of QI descended. Ed notified Gobuta and Sieg since they were the best for this kind of attack.

"Mehen, give us a boost!" Ed asked as he and Gobuta stood at the tip of Mehen's nose. The latter complied, as he lowered his head a little and flung them with his full force. Gobuta and Ed flew towards the QI attack while readying their weapons. Ed clad his with Amaterasu, while Gobuta covered his great sword with Darkness magic.

The two of them swung their blades as their collided with the QI. The usually intangible QI felt like a planet weighing down upon them. They were using their full strength, yet they were still being pushed back. Even Amaterasu couldn't keep up with the colossal amount of QI and failed to consume it all.

'Activate the Berserk skill!' Ed gave an order to his system as he withdrew Ame-No-Murakumo from his Inventory. He used his two swords while clad with Amaterasu flames. His KI exploded after receiving the power-up from his Berserk state. Gobuta, at his left, decided that he needed to do something as well.

His tattoos glowed with purplish dark color, and from them, similarly colored QI oozed out. The QI covered his whole body along with his greatsword, increasing his overall power many times.

"Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon (Two-Sword Style: Thin Life Gate)!" Ed clad his sword in Haki as he drew them from their sheaths. He sent two powerful flying sword slashes that coursed through the pillar of QI above him. The Amaterasu flames surged through the cracks in the QI and started to eat it from the inside.

Gobuta didn't use any techniques. Instead, he stuck to his Enhancer origins and used his full power to slash down, sending a Darkness wave throughout the QI.

The two of them started to float down after destroying the attack. A thin transparent film surrounded them before they could notice it. It was Sieg who used his barrier to protect everyone from the residue of the attacks which were falling down as well.

'System, can you calculate the power of whatever attacked us?' Ed frowned as he noticed how much power they needed to use in order to save themselves from one attack.

[Since it was only one attack, I can't really say for sure. But, by going through my estimates, and the amount of QI that was used…I'd say it is at least Immortal Establishment level 10. But, since this attack was casually thrown at you, I'd say it belongs to the next rank.]

Ed frowned as he listened to the explanation of his system. He was relieved that the one who attacked them was a green dot; otherwise, Ed would have escaped from that place in a heartbeat.

"The hostile feeling is gone…" Ed muttered as he landed back on Mehen's head.

"Ed, should we continue, or…?" Emilia asked him as she stood by his side, ready to tackle anything along with him.

"We'll continue. If this is really my grandfather, then it'll leave us with a little more than a week to go back and prepare for the final war…" Ed explained his reasoning as Mehen moved, this time at a slow pace, towards the green dot.

Even without talking, Ed could tell how nervous everyone felt. It was only obvious, since they didn't have his Map, and couldn't tell if the one they were meeting was an ally or a foe. They only believed Ed's words and had nothing else to base their belief on.

"Mehen, this is far enough, we'll continue on foot," said Ed as he patted Mehen's head. Following his orders, Mehen shrunk back to his smallest size and slithered up to Ed's neck. The group then continued on foot, following Ed's lead.

As they had a little less than 100 meters between them and the green dot, they could hear the sound of a waterfall. They walked, and before long, they caught a glimpse of an elderly fellow sitting on top of the highest rock of the waterfall. In his hand, he held a bamboo fishing rod while enjoying the air around him.

As soon as he saw him, memories started to unveil themselves in Ed's head. That person was his grandfather. That person was the one who started Avalon kingdom. That person was Vortigern Avalon.
