Chapter 250: The City that Disappeared

"Sir Ed, if you are unable to help us in our war against Poison sect, we understand. However, we ask of you not to try and make us escape from them. Even if we were to die, we would pay them back for the humiliation they caused us!" A hot-headed young Elder banged the table as he answered Ed.

"You don't understand what I'm trying to say. I'm not telling you to run away from them."

"Then what do you mean when you tell us to join Avalon? Aren't you telling us to pack our bags and leave our homes?! If that's not what you mean, then please enlighten me!"

"Mael! You shouldn't talk before you hear everything first!" Asem couldn't hold himself back anymore and answered the young Elder before Ed could.

"Its okay, Asem, I'm here in order to clarify things for you guys anyway. Mael, I never told you that you'll be leaving anything behind, nor will you be packing anything. When I said you'll join Avalon, I didn't mean that you'll become citizens that won't be able to move a finger, no. By joining Avalon, the first thing we'll do is to merge the two sects together. Our sect might be strong, but that's only in name only. Our disciples lack techniques and experience."

"On the other hand, the Sword sect has been around as long as the first swordsman. Due to the harsh conditions of time, and unfortunate disasters that befell you, you're no longer the best sect around. But, we can solve both problems by merging the two sects together. Of course, we won't become one sect. Instead, I'll make it into a coalition of sects. You can think of it like joining a school, and then having to choose who can teach you within that school."

Mael stopped interrupting Ed and listened to him. As much as it frustrated him, he realized how much truth Ed's worried carried with them. Mael knew that if Ed hadn't arrived when he did, they would have two fewer people around the table. Maybe even more.

"There's also another reason. Avalon is looking to expand, and I want our second city to be this one. The people, well, I couldn't find someone better. And since it's a sect city, we won't have any problem regarding the governing." Ed smiled as he sat back down on his chair.

"But, won't it take a long time for you to build a city? You've already mentioned a war that will happen in about a week from now, right?" one of the female Elders said.

"Who said I will be building a city? I did mention that you won't be packing anything, nor will you be leaving anything behind, right?" Ed crossed his arms as he rested on his chair.

"This city might bring some bad memories for the people, but I'm sure it carries more good memories with it. I won't allow it to wither into specs of dust by abandoning it."

"Then, how do you suppose we…!" The woman stopped her sentence short as she remembered something Ed showed them when he cooked for the whole city. "You don't mean that you plan to teleport the whole city!"

As some of the people had already realized what Ed was implying, they didn't react. However, those with a slow working brain got a shiver once they realized Ed's plan.

"That's suicide!" Mael shouted again as he looked at the Elders and then at Ed. "Even if you are well endowed with QI, you won't be able to teleport a whole city!"

"I can!" Ed shouted back as his pride didn't allow him to let Mael's statement go. "If I wasn't capable of doing so, I wouldn't have mentioned it."

"I will take my leave for now, and allow you to discuss things amongst yourselves. I'll be back in an hour." Ed stood up from his seat and started to make his way towards the door.

"There's no need." Ed turned around to look at Barsine, the one who spoke. "You're the sect master, Edward. There's no need for us to discuss anything. If it is something that you see fit, then we will follow it. As long as you promise me that I can visit Alexander's grave regularly, I won't have any issue with the plan." Barsine stood up and walked in front of Ed with a smile on her face. Then, the Elders followed after her.

"We recognized you as the sect master, and if you believe that our sect will go back to being the best around, then we will follow after your visions of the future!" Helena said as she punched Ed in the chest.

"I see. Then I will announce it to the public. We will leave today." Ed smiled as he realized the amount of trust they were putting into him.

"Huh? Don't you need to discuss things with your father?" Asem was surprised by the sudden decision.

"I already did. Before coming here. I thought of all the possible scenarios that could happen once I visited the sect, and discussed all the possible outcomes with my father. He accepted all of them without a second thought."

.

By sundown, the whole city was in an uproar. They couldn't believe what the sect master had told them. They were going to leave the continent. Such a thing was unthinkable, even in folk tales. Yet, their sect master claimed that it could be done. They believed in him. Yet, they couldn't hide their fear. No one objected to Ed's decisions, but some of them didn't stay around to watch the magic happen. Instead, they went inside of their homes and hid there.

'Is this it?'

[Yes, you're currently in the exact middle of the city. The rest should be simple.] Ed walked into the point where the system indicated and put his palm on it.

Suddenly, his cultivation spiked as he activated his Berserk skill. His KI surged from his palm and formed a circle around it. From the circle, multiple lines emerged and moved into straight trajectories. The lines only stopped once they left the city. Then, the lines released KI into the left and right, and the extra lines connected, forming a giant circle that covered the city. Including, the graveyard where Alexander was buried.

The outside circles turned into a sphere that covered the buildings in the air, and the infrastructure under the ground.

"It's time for us to leave." A blinding white light filled the sphere in an instant after Ed spoke. Right in the next moment, the city was gone. Only a crater was left behind.

Chapter 251: The City's Location

North of Avalon kingdom, around 150 kilometers' distance, a previously empty area disappeared. It was instead replaced by a city. The darkness of the night no longer ruled that area, as the light posts of the city were still lit. Inside the city, the citizens opened their eyes and looked around. But, they couldn't tell if they teleported or if they didn't even move from their spots. Everything happened in an instant for them.

However, one thing notified them of the success of their teleportation. The sky above them. It wasn't hard for them to notice the difference in the sky they lived under for their whole lives. Another thing that confirmed their teleportation, was the panting sect master whose hand was still stuck to the ground.

"We're…here," Ed felt his whole body ache as he spoke every word to the surrounding people. 'Do I have enough KI?'

[For a short distance.] The system answered the ambiguous question of Ed, who disappeared from the sight of everyone. The citizens were surprised, and some of them wondered if it was a side effect of a long range of teleportation. But, most of the people realized what Ed had done.

"He should be in the great hall, so let's go there," Emilia said as she passed by Asem. The important people of the sect went after her, while the citizens, disciples, and guards walked around the city, and then headed to the outside. They wanted to know what kind of environment they would be living under.

Inside of the great hall, Ed was sitting in a chair while putting his head on the table. He was doing his best to stabilize his breathing, but it was as hard as it was painful. It was his third day using the Berserk skill, and it wasn't easy at all for him. On top of the strain on his body, even his KI was disturbed.

"Oh, my body, what am I doing to you…?" he talked to himself as he moved his head left and right on the table. Ed was able to move his body this time, but barely.

[You're pushing it to the limit.]

"I wasn't asking anyone…I know what I'm doing!"

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard coming from outside. Ed forced himself to sit up, and just barely, he was able to do it before the door opened. Emilia, his comrades, and the Sword sect officials came inside.

"Sir Ed, will you be alright?" Asem asked him as he walked inside and sat at the first chair near Ed.

"I'll live. I need a couple of hours of rest, and I'll be able to move my body normally. More importantly, how are the people? I imagine it must be hard for them to accept what happened."

"Not at all. Before we came here, they seemed confused, but that was all. They must have accepted everything the moment you told them about your plans," Asem explained.

"I hope that's the case. We'll discuss everything related to this tomorrow, and we'll head over to Avalon in order to check on the situation with the war. I haven't been there in a while, so I'm also out of the loop."

Those present took Ed's words as the cue for them to leave. They knew he needed to rest. Emilia and his companions remained behind, however.

"Sieg, I'll need your help. Can you teleport me to my room? I'm all out of KI, hahaha," Ed smiled towards his companions as he told them his current state.

Sieg didn't make any comment and instead walked over toward Ed. He put his skinny fingers on his shoulders, and both of them disappeared from the great hall. Raikou started to sink into his shadow, while the others walked away.

Ed chose to hit the sack immediately after getting to his room. He never felt more glad for his instant equipment change feature, which allowed him to change his clothes automatically. It would have been hell for him to change on his own. The night changed into the day, and Ed woke up feeling refreshed. He noticed Raikou sleeping by his bed and remembered the days where it was only him, Raikou, and Suika. Now, his roster of friends had increased more than he could imagine.

He left the room silently and headed into the great hall. There, he found most of the Elders present, along with Barsine, who seemed to be watching over all the meetings.

"Sorry about yesterday everyone. How's the city, anything missing?" Ed knocked the door and walked inside.

"No, everything seems to be in place. If anything were to be missing, then it wouldn't be important," said Asem while shaking his head.

"I see. Then to brief you in on the city's position and state. We're to the north of Avalon, and to the south of the previous Aaragon kingdom. I chose this place along with my father due to the low danger that this place has. It's very close to Avalon, just as the first city is supposed to be, which will make it easy to communicate."

Ed passed a map, with the city's current location being marked on it, to Asem. The latter studied it and passed it on to the others. It wasn't important, as most of them had the world's map memorized.

"For the livestock and farmlands, we'll have to work together on those. I plan to set farmlands between the two cities and all over the kingdom, which will be given to certain people to govern. The livestock will be sent from the capital over to this place and will be used to procure milk and other stuff. Hunting should be sufficient to get meat. We'll discuss all the details after, let's say, a month. For now, we have something more important to focus on. Any questions?"

"…" the people in the room chose to remain silent and continued to stare at Ed. They couldn't help but think how his plans were so well thought out.

"Since no one is asking anything, Let us leave to Avalon!"
