Chapter 275: Battle of Generations

Ed and Johan crossed swords thousands if not millions of times since the beginning of the battle. A day had already passed by. Both of them sustained deep injuries, but none of them deep enough to decide the fight. Their bodies felt pain no longer, as they had turned rigid and tough due to the constant fighting. Their senses shut down all the unnecessary distractions around them, enabling them to focus on each other.

Johan charged forward for the umpteenth time, but it was different this time. The hand holding his double-edged silver sword was loose and almost powerless. As he swung down, Ed noticed the weakness and channeled his power in order to blow Johan away. Yet, at the moment of contact, Johan let go of the sword and took a step back.

Due to the extra power, Ed found himself unable to stop in time, which turned into him making a huge empty sword swing. Johan capitalized on this chance, grabbed Ed's hand and flipped him in the air, slamming him into the ground which crumbled like a soft cookie under the deep impact.

Before Ed could make a move, Johan dropped a punch towards his face, driving him deep into the ground. Ed stopped thinking and teleported away before the second punch could hit him. He felt a warm liquid droop down on his lips, and as he touched his face he realized that his nose was broken. Ed used his sleeve to wipe away the blood and cracked the broken bone back into the position. His Regeneration was enough to take care of the rest.

His foe held his sword once again and charged at Ed; his sword hand loose once more.

Johan was at Immortal Establishment level 10, same as his father and the top members of Blood sect. yet, out of the ones that fought Ed, he was the strongest one so far. Even Arthur, who was weaker than Ed, was fighting Dawlish at a standstill, and yet Ed was actually losing to Johan. He remembered the pressure that Johan exuded the first time they met in the tower. Then, he knew immediately that he was the weaker one. But now, he couldn't accept it, since he couldn't lose. Especially, since Erykytos was still waiting for them to beat.

Ed waited no more and activated his Ryūsui Seikūken. A bluish aura surrounded his body and mixed up with the golden aura that his Nen provided. Johan felt something wrong, but he didn't stop his charge.

Ryūsui Seikūken and the Mangekyo Sharingan, Ed's ultimate combo that he didn't get to use in a long due to the nature of the fights he encountered.

Johan and Ed's sword crossed, and the latter's slid away, as Johan reached once again to grab Ed. But, it didn't go as smoothly as last time. Ed's Ryūsui Seikūken was at the second level, which meant that he was able to combine his movements with the enemy's. Right as Johan's hand touched Ed, he found out that the hem of his leather shirt was being held as well.

Johan felt a great force pull him in as Ed threw his head back.

Johan's consciousness started to wobble around as he found himself on the ground with blood all over his face, hundreds of meters away from Ed. All it took was a single head butt to even the score. Johan stood up and popped his broken nose back into place. He didn't even bother to wipe the blood as he rushed at Ed.

The two continued to clash, even stronger than before. Their endless supply of energy seemed more and more bottomless to the bystanders, who couldn't believe their eyes. The two battles taking place next to each other, between Dawlish and Arthur, and Johan and Ed, stole the attention from all over the world. The residual Qi that resulted from the clashes traveled all over the world. The animals hid in fear, while the weaker monsters stood in place, petrified. The powerful people that didn't join the war imagined the battles that took place, but even their imaginations fell short from reality.

The entire world sat still on the three days that the battle took place for. All the people would forever remember the fear and anxiety they felt. They would all tell the tales of the Battle of Generations.

Arthur felt chills due to his drenched sweaty body getting hit by the morning's cold breeze. He failed to count how many times he would have died if not for the gear his son had crafted, and the accessories made solely for the sake of saving his life when all else would have failed. His Legendary grade saber worked harder than ever as it realized the pickle its master was in. Weapons made by Ed had a faint thread of consciousness that grew bigger the more attached the weapon became to the master.

Arthur's saber had pushed itself to the extreme, balancing the usage of Qi with the performance required, all in order to allow him to fight for the longest. However, such a thing resulted in it overworking itself. Once the battle was over, it would break and crumble no doubt. But, since the battle was not still going on, it held on.

Arthur continued to battle Dawlish, the two getting drenched by sweat and blood. Neither of them felt this much pressure, not since they trained with their parents, dozens of years ago. They used their trump cards over and over again in order to gain the upper hand but failed each time. Their bodies croaked and groaned while their spirits screamed in pain and agony. The healing potions they both had no longer worked as if their bodies developed immunity to them. They had overused them. They could only rely on their Qi to heal them in time.

The two of them rushed at each other, eyes squinted and muscles twice their normal size. They attacked each other with everything they had left and were blown away the same distance. Once more they clashed, and again they kept clashing. Before he knew it, Arthur had a deep cut across his left eye, which he could no longer use. Luckily for him, Dawlish had lost two fingers on his dominant hand, causing him to switch to the right hand.

The two stared at each other, their breaths heavy and uneven, and their bodies dull and rigid, unwilling to move. Yet, due to the explosion of auras at Erykytos' place, they moved subconsciously.

Dawlish was a second late, and Arthur couldn't let this chance go. He raised his saber high, as if he meant to cleave the sky in half, and swung down with all of his might. The weapon soared and sang as it split the air in half, until it blew open Dawlish's shoulder, and cut deep down until it found the heart.

Dawlish's mouth burst open due to the blood gushing out, but he didn't fall down. Arthur smiled and looked proud, even as he himself couldn't hold the blood back from rushing out of his mouth. Due to his blind side, he failed to take notice of Dawlish's sword coming from his left. He was too absorbed in the moment and couldn't feel his arm being severed, and his chest being torn apart by the great sword.

The two figures stood still, covered in their own blood, as the sun's rays shone down on them. Ed and Johan felt their heads move, against their wills, as they stared at their parents' bloodied, yet gallant figures.

Chapter 276: A New Addition

Ed heard the lament and wailing of Arthur's saber. His eyes burned and filled with tears, and his legs darted forward to his father's side; his hand looking through his Inventory for a Healing card. Yet, halfway through, he felt a major force collide with the side of his face. His eyes scrambled in their sockets while his brain bounced inside the skull. Next thing he knew, Ed was lying on the ground, dirt, and blood covering his face. he stood up slowly and gazed at Johan, who had struck him from behind.

He as well had a face full of tears and lament.

Ed knew that his enemy wouldn't give him the chance to save his father. He knew that no matter how close he got, he would never reach his father in time. Thus, left with no other choice, he deviated from his original plan, and shouted, with all the strength his lungs could give, "MERRY, SUIKA!"

His two healing experts immediately left their respective missions and darted to Ed's side. Suika was already on her way alongside Emilia, but Merry was shocked as she saw the two figures of Arthur of Dawlish. Her wings flapped harder and faster as she gleamed through the air with a heavenly glow.

Even Erykytos, whom she was fighting, gave no choice. He stood still, gazing at the faraway figure of his bloody son. Raikou and Sieg both stood still, unwilling to make a move while Erykytos didn't.

Ed looked at the two of them, despair and anguish filled his face as he begged them, "Please, save him!"

It was the first time anyone had seen Ed make such a face. They couldn't believe it. They felt their hearts burn as they saw their master, their friend, their companion suffering through such torment.

Ed switched his attention back to Johan; the two of them locked eyes. The feelings they harbored inside their hearts burned stronger and brighter. They charged at each other and exchanged blows, stronger than ever. Their collisions caused an explosion, which pushed rock and air away and twisted the space around them itself.

Johan's eyes shone, as he pulled a second sword from his spatial ring. It was a double-edged sword, each edge was colored differently. One was red, while the other was deep blue. The red side burned in crimson flames, hotter than a thousand suns, while the blue side crackled with lightning.

Ed could feel that the weapon was at least a Mythical grade sword.

Johan charged forward and swung down at Ed, who had no choice but to block the sword with a Haki clad Shusui.

Ed took the full brunt of the blue side and felt the lightning seep into his bones, stunning him completely. Then, he felt a burning pain in his solar plexus, as Johan drove his foot there. Ed was thrown hundreds of meters away. If not for his many layers of defense, he would have gotten gravely injured.

Ed got up to find himself under a barrage of flaming wave attacks. He quickly brought out Muramasa and absorbed all the fire into the sword, which shone in a deep scarlet color. He targeted Johan and swung his blade, causing a pillar of flames to emerge and chase his enemy. The pillar burned and melted anything that came into contact with it, and left behind a rail of lava.

However, such a basic attack was easy to dodge, as Johan maneuvered around it and struck down on Ed once more. Ed was getting beaten one-sidedly. His body was burned and electrocuted, and his skin was cut and bruised.

He couldn't keep going on in such a way, so he contacted his system. 'Use Berserk once more!'

The system wanted to remind Ed that his body wouldn't handle the stress, but it knew that words were useless at the moment. Either he uses the skill, or he dies.

Ed's aura exploded as Berserk broke his limits once more. It kept growing from the initial Immortal Establishment level 7 all the way to level 10. He now had the same cultivation level as Johan.

Johan was stunned as he could feel the sudden inexplicable change in Ed's aura. He failed to react in time to Ed's slash, which felt like a mountain hitting him in the face. Johan was blown away, further than Ed's earlier flight, and collided with a small hill in the distance.

Ed wanted to give chase immediately, but intense pain filled his body's every cell. He felt some of his bones break under the pressure of his aura, but his Ki kept his body whole. He grits his teeth and jumped forward, failing to notice the system's notice which sounded, 'Acquired Pain Resistance level 1'.

Since Ed was late to follow with his attack, Johan had already gotten up. A deep gash crossed his face and made him look strikingly similar to his grandfather, Erykytos.

The two locked swords, and now that their level was equal, the result was even more terrifying. The whole world seemed to reach a stop each time they clashed. The ground trembled under their pressure, and the skies shook in fear of their wrath. Ed's veins were punctured in dozens of places, causing him to be filled with blood from head to toe. His Regeneration worked hard, but it was catching up to the number of injuries he sustained.

He withdrew his last sword, Ame-No-Murakumo and equipped all three of them. At once, Ed activated his strongest trump card, the Asura technique, which allowed him to duplicate himself. Three faces and six arms; Ed looked like a menacing war deity.

He lunged forward, and delivered nine slashes, all in a fraction of a second, as he passed through Johan who couldn't react. The latter's armor was broken into pieces, and his whole body was carved bloody. His sword flew dozens of meters away from him.

Ed's Asura didn't last long, as he dropped into one knee with his breath going haywire, and the pain getting stronger.

He senses a presence behind him and was surprised to catch a glimpse of Johan, who kicked right in the chin, sending him flying away, along with his swords, in different directions.

The two stood up and raced towards each other, and without any weapons, they no choice but to use their fists. Ed had no martial arts technique, but he made up for it by using his Mangekyo Sharingan. He perfectly mirrored every move Johan made and countered with the same attack. However, such a strategy caused him to take in the same amount of damage, as he was also hit by the attack.

The two of them stepped forward and punched each other in the side of the face. Their cheekbone shattered and their teeth flew in all directions. But, they didn't stop. After the punch came a head butt, followed by a kick to the side. The armor Ed wore couldn't handle the intensity of their attacks and was torn into the pieces. The two of them had black and blue bodies and faces, but they kept going at each other. No one dared to drop down first.

However, in the middle of the fight, a ringing sound caused Ed to momentarily stop. Johan noticed the sudden change, and lunged forward with his fist clutched harder than ever; he aimed his strongest punch at Ed's face. However, before he could hit him, Ed moved passed him with a simple sidestep.

The ringing sound Ed heard was his system, notifying him of a skill grade up.

It was his Ryūsui Seikūken, which had broken through to level 3 during his fight, after a long time. Once it broke through, it was considered a Mythical Grade skill.

Ryūsui Seikūken 's third level was its strongest and most complicated. It enabled the user to overpower their enemy, by predicting their flow of movement and using it against them.

Ed's eyes calmed down considerably once he attained this level. The bluish aura around him intensified, while he used a minimal amount of Ki. Johan's blows skimmed Ed's body, but they never managed to land. The intense fight of earlier turned into a lie, as the surroundings turned quiet all of a sudden.

The duo played a game of cat and mouse, with Johan doing his best to injure Ed. However, in the face of multiple Mythical and Legendary grade skills, he fell short.

Johan couldn't handle the humiliation any longer, and shouted, "FIGHT BACK!" at Ed, as he delivered a hook at Ed.

The latter predicted the moves and lowered his head just enough to dodge the attack. He whispered, "As you wish," as he put his palm on Johan's solar plexus. Then, after twisting it, he let out the entirety of his remaining Ki, which penetrated through Johan and the mountain far behind him.

Johan, who lost consciousness for a second, vomited a liter of blood, and his internal organs were squashed by the attack. He didn't fly away from the intensity of the attack but simply fell down to the ground right in front of Ed, still breathing.

Ed looked around in order to find his weapons but to no avail. They were buried under the rubble that resulted from the fight. He wanted to finish off Johan, but he could barely move. He almost fell down, until he heard, "Here, Brother!"

It was Bella, who flew towards him with the Silver Katana Ed had made her. She handed it to him with tears in her eyes.

Ed unsheathed it, and with unstable hands, tried to stab the unmoving Johan with it.

However, he was stopped. The Katana was stopped by two fingers catching it in midair. Ed raised his head, and fear overwhelmed him. It was Erykytos, with his red clothes ripped up.

"Even now, you try to take my family away from me, huh, Avalon?" Erykytos' voice was calm, but Ed knew the anger and fury hidden behind the façade. He turned around and shouted "Run Away!" to Bella, but it was too late. Erykytos swung a chop at Ed, which would have killed him immediately, if not for the sudden appearance of another hand that stopped it.

"Leave my family alone," the new addition said.

It was Vortigern, Ed's grandfather.
