Chapter 254: Ryuunosuke Nakamura

Ed was on a very special mission. For the first time in his life, he was going to visit Ryuu kingdom. The kingdom of his best friend, Hayato. Ed had a lot of expectations for this kingdom, as he realized it might have something to do with Japan and something to do with a reincarnated or transmigrated person such as himself.

The trip there was easy, as Ed had given Hayato a metal sigil from before. He sent a missive to him, informing him of his visit. At the exact moment mentioned in the missive, Ed teleported to Ryuu kingdom. He went alone, as it was going to be a short visit. What greeted Ed was the warm smile of Hayato, Akira, and what seemed to be the rest of his family.

"Long time no see," Ed said as he moved in for a hug.

"Long time indeed. You've gotten stronger I see."

Ed and Hayato bickered around for a while, and then Ed greeted the family members one by one. Hayato seemed to be an only child, but had a lot of uncles and aunts. All of them had similar features, such as dark hair, and pitch black eyes. His mother was a stunning beauty, and could only be compared to an acrylic gemstone.

Ed noticed an elderly man standing next to Akira, and guessed that it was Hayato's grandfather. But, he wasn't the one Ed was looking for. Instead, it was an even older man sitting behind the family. The one who created the Ryuu kingdom over 500 years ago. The man was known as Ryuunosuke Nakamura.

Ed approached the man and sat down cross-legged in front of him. He started the conversation by saying, "It is an honor to meet you, esteemed elder."

The elder, who seemed as if he was asleep, opened his eyes and looked at the young man under him. He formed a smile, and said, "Leave us alone."

The Nakamura family could do nothing but comply. No sooner than a minute later, and the room was emptied. Only Ed and Ryuunosuke remained there.

"So. You're not from this world, are you, young Avalon?" Ryuunosuke stood up from his chair. Even while standing up, he looked like he was still sitting. His body had shrunk down due to age.

"I am not. May I ask how you knew?"

"My great-grandson told me you used a technique, much like the one I teach them when they're at Heavenly Establishment. Since that technique is from another world, I guessed you are as well."

"I see. Then, my guess was correct as well. Sir Nakamura…you're from Earth aren't you?" Ed stood up as well and looked at the man in front of him, then slowly at the surroundings. Tatami floors, shōji sliding doors…Everything surrounding Ed screamed of Japan.

"I am, hohoho. It is my first time meeting someone from my homeworld. It only took 600 years…" Ryuunosuke laughed, but he still seemed dejected.

"So, how did you come to this world?"

"A truck hit me while I was on a vacation in Japan. The next thing I knew was me appearing in this world in the form of Avalon's first prince. It was a struggle, but I managed to live to this day. If I may ask, what about you?"

"Three days of gaming and a heart attack, hohoho," Ryuunosuke laughed, even though he shouldn't. Ed's was an accident, but his teleportation was his fault.

"I transmigrated with my body, all naked, and appeared in the middle of a pond. Now, what do you think I found in the pond?!"

"A naked princess!" Ed answered before he could even some time to think about what he was saying.

"WRONG! I found water and an alligator! IN – A – Pond!" Somehow, Ryuunosuke found the energy to shout. "I ran away, without a single piece of clothing on my body, and crossed the forest surrounding the pond. Then, I seemed to hit something. I thought it was a tree, or a pole since I didn't know I was in another world. But, it wasn't. What do you think it was?"

"A monster!"

"Wrong! It was a black haired princess," Ryuunosuke said with no energy in his voice. Ed realized that the princess was someone dear to him. Someone he loved too much. Someone who was no longer with him. It was probably his wife, Ed thought.

"I almost lost my life by appearing naked in front of her. But, she forgave me and ordered the knights to bring some clothes. She took care of me from then on and taught me everything about the world. How to cultivate, how to fight, and so on. She was like an angel that descended from heaven to help me live in this hellish world. But, unfortunately, she passed away."

"I'm sorry to hear that…" Ed stood silently until Ryuunosuke asked him some question. How were the games in the other world? Did the latest Dra*** Ba** movie come out yet...

From these question, Ed realized that the time spent in this world was not the same as the one spent on Earth.

"Enough about this, tell me what you need, boy."

"I want to know everything about the Blood sect master. I believe that, like my grandfather, you won't join in on the war. Thus, this is all the help I will ask of you!"

.

A week later, the whole world was shaking. The inevitable war was about to start, and all the people, creatures, and even inanimate objects felt the looming danger approach.

In Avalon, the participating sides had all gathered up and were ready to march.

"Then, I wish you all luck," Arthur finished his speech, and those that listened to it felt their hearts beat. This war wasn't like the Bloody war. The forces of Avalon and the other kingdoms didn't prepare soldiers. They prepared elites only.

From Avalon, all ten Elders, best disciples, the general, the sect master, and his family, all joined the war. No one was sitting down on this war. The newly added Alexandria city, which housed the Sword sect, dedicated their strongest forces, in the form of the Elders and the family of the late Alexander.

Scale kingdom did the same, along with Titan, Kaeborg, Avalez, and even Ryuu kingdom.

The war's bells had rung!

Enjoy!! We'll be back to Ryuu kingdom a bit later in order to explore it some more!

Chapter 255: Excelsior

The elites divided themselves into three groups. One group led by Ed to attack Poison sect. his group had Emilia, Bella, and the Sword sect members along with Edmund. The second group was led by Arthur and was going to attack another stronghold of Blood sect in a different continent. The last group was led by Hayato and was going to attack another continent. Each group had only one thing to focus on, which made it easier for them to complete their assignments.

Arthur's group consisted of the nine Elders of Avalon, Elizabeth, Sebas, and other disciples of the sect joined as an extra force as well. As for Hayato's group, he led the forces of both Ryuu kingdom and Scale kingdom. Eric joined him as well, as they proved to be quite a good combination in the last war.

The leaders of each group met up and led their troops. They bought teleportation items for all of their troops and decided on a strategically important position beforehand. The teleportation items were the same one used by No-bō two years ago. Small round ball with no defining color.

"I wish you luck," said Arthur as he turned around and headed to his group. He and his army were the first to teleport away.

"No time to waste, huh?" Hayato said as he looked at the dust raised by the disappearing mini army. "I guess we should head out as well. All the best to you, Edward!"

"Same for you…" Ed softly spoke as he waited until Hayato's group disappeared as well. "It's time for us to leave as well. Everyone prepare yourselves!"

Ed addressed his group, but there was no need to say anything. All of them were ready, with the greatest morale, and the most important goal. Nothing could make them more prepared than their current state. Since Ed was able to teleport, his group didn't need any teleportation items. Instead, they kept extras, in case they needed to escape.

However, these items were considered a waste of space by everyone. No one thought about escaping. No one ever thought about living after defeat. They were going to fight until death. They were either going to emerge as victorious or lay dead amongst their comrades.

The three groups that teleported were met with a colossal army each. One week ago, their plans were found out by Blood sect, which gave it enough time to prepare for countermeasures. However, Avalon and its allies realized this in time and prepared themselves as well. This was one of the reasons why they chose to send only the elites. In order to lessen the amount of blood spilled on their side, their strongest fighters would release devastating attacks at the very start of the war, which would kill most of the weak enemy soldiers.

This plan was exactly what the three groups did.

Ed, Arthur, and Hayato each stepped in front of their respective groups. Ed withdrew his favorite sword, Shusui, while Hayato used Asmodeus. Arthur had no choice but to use the weapon made by Ed, which was more than enough for him.

Hayato gathered up QI in his sword and filled it with elemental magic. It was his strongest technique, the 'Void Slash'. The slash took the enemy soldiers by surprise, as they didn't think they would be attacked so quickly. And since this technique devoured anything in its way, it filled the enemies with terror. Hayato took this chance and shouted, "Chaaaaaarge!"

After which his group started its assault on the Blood sect's stronghold.

Arthur channeled Lightning through his sword. The silver bladed sword turned yellow, gradually, as lightning bolts crackled around it. The enemy soldiers were quick to react on this battlefield, as they moved in to attack Arthur, but it was to no avail. Just as fast as a lightning bolt, the electric attack decimated the thousands of minions in front of him.

Arthur pointed his sword towards the army in front of him, and shouted, "No return!"

His comrades released their inner anger as they all shouted at the same time. The enemies froze from fear, and couldn't do anything in the face of the rampaging Avalon forces.

In the case of Ed, he didn't need to do much. He simply filled his entire sword with KI, clad it in Haki, filled it with the elements he could control, and charged it with his Hatsu, 'Final Countdown'. Right after finishing his preparation, Ed disappeared. The enemies in front of him were taken aback and kept staring at their two sides. They heard about Ed's teleportation abilities and were afraid he would pop up from behind one of them.

A minute passed, and everyone started to get cocky. The soldiers started to march forward, towards those that remained behind Ed. However, just like that, Ed appeared in front of them once again. His sword crackling with black lightning around it.

"Providence Blade," Ed said calmly, as he slashed his sword sideways. Dark light blinded his enemies, leaving them defenseless, as they raised their hands to protect their eyes. Yet, what they failed to realize was, even with their hands, and their defenses, there was nothing they could have done in the face of Ed's strongest technique.

Ed didn't simply disappear. He teleported into his own dimension, where he set the time for a 1:10 ratio. He had charged his sword for ten minutes, the same amount of time it was needed to kill the twelfth-floor dragon from the Tower of Origin. No one among the lowly soldiers stood a chance. But, they didn't suffer. Just as quickly as the black light took their sight, the sword slash took their lives.

The black slash kept decimating the enemies, as if it was a hungry grim reaper, looking for souls to feast upon. In five seconds only, the enemies' army lost its middle portion completely. Only the left and right wing remained. The enemies remained motionless, as they couldn't believe their eyes. One attack. Their greatest force was decimated, and all it took was one attack. Needless to say, their morale was broken.

Ed stuck his sword in the ground, raised his KI, and shouted, "EXCELSIOR!"


CREATORS' THOUGHTS

Hello everyone!

Excelsior is the catchphrase used by the late Stan Lee, the forefather of Marvel. Since I've always been a fan of his work, I found it appropriate to pay him tribute in my own way, by using his favorite word in my novel. it means 'onward and upward to greater glory', which is quite fitting in this scenario.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter
