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!"

Chapter 252: Confession

Ed stood up from his seat and activated his Telekinesis. It extended over the shoulder of everyone from the Sword sect, and then even more feelers extended all over the city, searching for his comrades. Then, the very next instant, he teleported everyone away. Those that never teleported before felt their stomachs churn but chose to bear with it. Those that were caught by surprise withdrew their weapons as they thought it was an enemy attack.

"Relax, we're back in Avalon," Ed told the group of people who chose to hold an attacking stance. "Raikou, you can head over to another room if you want to sleep, the sun will just annoy you here."

The sleeping Raikou woke up due to Ed's words and started to walk towards his room in the castle. From within the corridors of the castle, he could hear people being surprised at Raikou's appearance.

"I guess that will tell everyone we're back. Bella, you should go and say hello to mom, I'm sure she misses you," Ed told little Bella, who started to hop as she followed after Raikou inside. Emilia followed after her, saying that she needed to greet everyone as well.

"You guys can do whatever you want, I'll head over to talk to my father with everyone else," Ed said as he looked at his companions, and then at the Sword sect people. The group split into two, Ed along with Mehen and the Sword sect personnel, and Ed's companions who went to start trouble elsewhere.

Ed didn't waste time and headed over to Arthur's office. The surprised Arthur quickly hid his astonishment and welcomed the people that were visiting him.

"Let's change the place a little," Ed noticed how the office was drowning in paperwork, so he gave a heads up to the others. His eyes flashed in a red color, and in an instant, the surroundings changed.

"What?!" Arthur was quite used to Ed's dimension ability, so he didn't react. But, for those from the Sword sect, they were quite flabbergasted. The only instance where they witnessed Ed's power was from two weeks ago. And that time, they believed it was his teleportation ability.

The group started their discussion immediately. This time, Ed acted as the sect master, instead of Arthur's son. Arthur, who knew of Ed's plans beforehand, didn't say much and accepted whatever his son threw at him. Of course, it was all for Avalon's benefit, so he didn't hesitate even once.

"So, to make things clear for everyone. Glory sect and Sword sect will remain two separate sects in order to keep our identities alive. However, we will work under the sect alliance called, Paladin." Arthur summarized everything in one go as he looked at the new additions to his kingdom.

No one had anything against the decisions of the meeting, thus they decided to end it. But, before they left, Arthur said, "You should stay in the capital for a while longer. Since we are going to a war soon, it would be best to know your allies and our future plans. As for you, Ed, I need to talk to you about something."

"I understand," Ed said as he undid his dimension. "You guys can go ahead, if you meet any of my companions, ask them to give you a tour, and I'll catch up with you later."

"I met my grandfather. You never told me that he left Avalon in order to find a cure for me," Ed confronted Arthur as soon as everyone left.

"What would you have done if I told you? Look for him? I only allowed you to do it now since you've gotten much stronger. If it was two years ago, you would have definitely died if you left the continent."

"I know. I'm not blaming you for anything, I was just happy to know why my grandfather never showed his face around, hahaha. I always thought he left because he was disappointed in me," Ed said as he recollected the memories of the prince.

"That was never the case. Well, it might have been the case for me…" Arthur looked at the ground as he mumbled the words, but Ed was able to hear them clearly. "I've always wanted my first born to follow after my footsteps and become king. After you were born so weak, I blamed myself, your mother blamed herself, and finally, I started to blame you. I'm not proud of it, but I won't lie about it."

Ed chose not to say anything and listened to his father's words. The words that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Two years ago, when you suddenly changed, I chose to ignore it. You were healed. You became better, you became stronger, and you saved the kingdom. Every single thing you did made it look like you were a different person. Like you were possessed by someone else," Arthur's words came out of his mouth one after the other, and his hands clenched. It was clearly hard for him to say everything, but it was equally hard for Ed, who was sweating buckets while thinking, 'No sh*t Sherlock!'

"I chose to ignore everything for one reason only. It was because my son was better. The son I was always so afraid that he would die at a moment's notice became better. You became stronger than any other prince your age, experienced loss and became stronger. You became the strongest person in Avalon. That, I will always be proud of!" Arthur declared as he hit on his chest twice with a closed fist.

"And I'm proud to be the son of the greatest king Avalon will ever see!" Ed declared while making the same gesture as Arthur. The son and father pair smiled at each other, and slowly started to laugh out loud.

"So, tell me. What is my father doing now that he has no reason to leave the kingdom?" Arthur, curious about his father's situation, started to ask Ed about him.

"Well, one thing I know is, he has no money…"

The two of them chatted for a while. The father felt the weight on his chest lift, while the son enjoyed a conversation with him without any barriers…
