Killrog's green skin suddenly turned red along with his eyes, then, he broke free from the restriction of the gravity spell. On top of that, Edward could feel that his mana became violent, and as it traveled throughout his body, it drastically increased his stats.
Killrog rushed towards Edward with at least five times the previous speed, By the time he reached less than a meter from him, a sonic boom was heard.
In Killrog's eyes, the Caster in front of him remain motionless as he moved faster than the latter could react. He swung his sword with tremendous force.
'With this strike, he should be gravely injured. However, the vitality of a Tier 5 Caster should be more than enough to keep him alive.'
As the sword was a few inches from its target, Killrog felt a powerful force that pushed more than a dozen meters away.
Arcane Rune Spell: Almighty Push.
Killrog was forced to insert his sword on the ground to offset the force of that attack. So, he left a trail in his way before stopping, his breath elevated. If he was not in a Rage Mode and immunity to pain, he knew that he must likely have already fallen.
Realizing that he was facing an elite caster with plenty of battle experience, diverse spells, and great reaction time, Killrog decided to take things more seriously.
To him, the more powerful Edward, the more valuable he was.
Suddenly, red blood came out of Killrog's body before forming a red armor that covered all his body.
Orc Magic: Blood Armor.
Then, the sword in his hand suddenly lit up and he disappeared. When he appeared again, he was standing behind Edward, once again swinging down his weapon.
This time, Killrog was very concentrated; his beast-like instinct was activated to the fullest. So, the moment he felt the gravitational force from his opponent's body, he used the Flash Enchantment in his sword to teleport away before reappearing in the same spot again, dodging the attack.
However, after swinging his sword, he discovered that Edward had also disappeared and appeared behind him.
"I'm quite surprised. From what I know, any magical weapon with space-related enchantments is not only rare but also very expensive. How did you get access to one."
Killrog did not answer this question as he knew that this time, he was in trouble. One of the most deadly and difficult people to deal with in the universe are casters who mastered instant Space Movement Spells.
It is very difficult to get close to them, and they can get away when things go south.
Despite this, KIllrog never thought of running away or giving up. He is a warrior and disdain running away from the battle. Additionally, an Artificer was too important to the Pirate group.
Not to mention that he came here personally to take the Artifer back. If he did not succeed, this would damage his prestige as a captain. Then, the Vice-Captains who are also Tier 5 can use this opportunity to mutiny and usurp his power.
'Since we both have a Flash Step Spell, the victory will be to the more strategic person and the person with the better reflexes. With all my experiences and being a warrior, I should have an advantage.
'After all, no matter how powerful this caster is, he is still an Artificer. He has to spend a lot of time learning and forging weapons; he should lack experience and training compared to me who has been on the verge of life and death constantly for many years.'
Killrog swung his sword and a blue slash rushed towards Edward, who just created a magic shield to block the attack. Immediately, he activated his flash spell to move, however, he discovered that it did not work.
'Damn it! Dimensional Anchor Spell?'
As soon as these thoughts came to his mind, he felt a sense of danger and moved out of the way. Unfortunately, it was a little too late as Kilrog saw a black and thin thing pierces his body.
Luckily for him, he acted in time to move his organs around to reduce the damage of this attack.
As he looked back, he saw that it was his own shadow that turned into a spear and attacked him. And for a moment, KIllrog was frustrated. He had never met a Caster with so many varied spells that can be used instantly.
Most Casters will focus on a few spells or categories of spells like Elemental, Necromancy, or Illusion, and focus on them. Plus, they usually only have a few spells that came be used instantly.
But not his opponent.
'What kind of magic system is,' complained Killrog, who immediately decided to use his number advantage to win this battle. He knew that this was not the time to be pedantic and let his pride as a warrior be his downfall.
Regrettably, when he looked at his men, he found that all of them were down on the ground, passed out with a satisfied smile on their faces. Meanwhile, the female companion of his opponent was standing in the middle of his men, watching the current battle.
'Should I try to use her as a hostage? No, this will not work. With a Space Spell, the Caster would be faster than me. Plus, this woman is not an easy opponent since she could so effortlessly take out all of my men.
'In that case, I only have one last choice.'
Killrog placed his hand on the pelt that covered his crotch and took out a metal plate and injected his mana. Immediately afterward, a strange wave came from the disk, making both Edward and Fleur frown deeply.
"Do you feel it," said Killrog with a smirk. "This is a rare Anti-Magic Weapon that can null all the mana in the surrounding. I only acquire it after killing a Tier 6 Mage. I lost countless fleets in the process."
Although KIllrog's mana was also nullified, as a warrior, his strength is tremendous compared to a weak human Caster. So, he was very confident.
"Interesting," said Edward as he felt the mana inside his body. His mana was not nullified like Killrog said, but was drastically weakened. Maybe because of the crystallization, Edward felt that his power was reduced by at least 2 tiers.
Additionally, he found it very difficult to mobilize and use; it was as if a great resistance was felt every time he tried to.
Not wanting to waste any more time on this battle, he instantly mobilized the Aura inside his body and rushed towards his opponent, creating sonic booms behind.
Before Killrog could even react and understand what was happening, Edward appeared next to him and punched him in the temple. He lost consciousness and passed out.
Edward waved his hand and the disc on the latter's hand folate in the air. He placed a few cleaning spells on it before putting it away. Finally, he pointed at Killrog and a black magic circle appeared.
Arcane Rune Spell: Soul Enslavement.
To Edward, this pirate group was perfect for Dumbledore's new business and could help in doing some shady things that the business cannot do officially.
While enslaving the Tier 5 Orc, Edward felt some resistance and he knew why. As a warrior, his Will is powerful enough to resist enslavement. And if he was conscious, the resistance would be greater.
Edward could have used his own will to confront Killrog. However, this would take too much time, so, he placed another illusion spell on him that showed him achieving his deepest desire, thus lowering his Will.
That way, the process was easily completed. Then, Fleur did the same to the other pirates. This is one of the reasons that Edward asked him the pirate leader if he was a believer of God.
If he was, he would not easily try to enslave him as the souls of believers belong to their Gods. Once something happens to it, they will be aware.
Once Killrog was awakening, he knelt on one knee to acknowledge his allegiance. So, Edward ordered him to bring the two back to their lairs where he also enslaved the other pirates and Vice-Captains.
Two weeks later, after everything was done, the two finally returned to Earth.

After returning home, Edward ignored the complaints of his wives of why he did not take them on a vacation in the universe. It's not his fault that they decided to ignore him. So, he went straight to work to busy himself.
He visited the Flammels' Tower to work on Project Uranus: the Floating City. This project can be considered as one of the most important projects of the Empire.
Once done, Edward will finally have a real deterrent against Tier 9 Galaxy individuals. As for whether it can affect Tier 10 Universal, in theory, it should but only in theory.
Once he arrived at the Tower, he saw a lot of remodeling was done since the last time he came. All the Wandcraft and Dragon Language Enchantments that were engraved in all of the city were removed.
The Core Engravement was used to place all the enchantments together inside a pocket dimension. That way, it could function more smoothly and reduce the possibility of the enchantments behind being destroyed during battle or confrontations.
There were two Core Engravenemnts: the first one was used to deal with the average control of the city. Things like Anti-Gravity, Shield, Environment or Atmospheric Control, FLT Travel, Energy Distribution, Weapons System, etc.
The second core engravement was for the enchantments needed to travel to other universes.
Edward and Nicolas Flamel were responsible for this part. After a few weeks, they finished the engravement.
Next was the shield that surrounded the city. The shield had to work as both a defensive measure and also protect the people living in the city from the void.
Since void energy is ver destructive, this part was very important. So, two methods were used to deal with the problem. The first one was to create a dome made of magicium since it is the only metal that can protect from the void.
The second method was the Void Shield that Edward developed to deal with Truth. Once both these methods were built, Edward took the city to the Void for a test. And after finding a few errors, he returned to fix them.
The next problem to deal with was the energy core of the Floating City. The Philosopher's Stone was still used as the main energy source, however, Edward also knew that there might be some places where mana did not work.
So, an alternate form of energy was needed.
So, he used the Empire's technology to create an artificial star as energy. Furthermore, he placed Energy Converter Enchantments that allowed heat from the star to turn into mana, and mana to heat.
After building this aspect of the city, Edward's paranoia got the best of him again and he decided to make the city work on all kinds of energy just in case. So, whether it was nuclear power, electricity, tectonic energy, psychic energy, or even cosmic energy.
Unfortunately, the research on the latter was not completed yet, so, the result was not satisfactory to him.
Finally, Edward focused on the weapon system. This time, he needed Rowena's help to finish this.
"So, how is the Void Cannon?"
The floating city has many different weapons like high energy lasers, railguns, nukes, space-based weapons, gravity bombs. There are also magical weapons like Fienfyre Cannons, Time Bombs, Dimension Collapse Cannons, and Elemental Riot Cannons.
However, none of them are more powerful or as deadly as the Void Cannon.
"There are many problems with the new design."
"What problem?"
"After firing a few shots, the void energy will destroy the cannon itself."
"I thought you found a way to enclose it into a case?"
"That was the previous model. In my latest research, I have found a way to gather a higher concentration of void energy. And the magicium case cannot contain it."
Rowena showed him the new data that she discovered before continuing:
"I tried placing the void energy inside a pocket dimension before shooting it. However, it even destroyed the dimension."
Edward frowned after hearing this. Right now, the dimension technology of the Empire involves two aspects.
One is to take an already existing space and enlarged it with the Extension Curse. Then, separate that dimension from its encasing. For example, a suitcase has a small space inside.
After expanding the internal dimension, an arcanist can separate that internal dimension from the suitcase to exist on its own, or bind it to another object like a ring; this is one of the ways interdimensional rings are created.
Another method is to use Father's method to cut off an entire pocket dimension from the space-time continuing, thus existing in the realm between reality and non-reality.
However, no matter what method is used, as long void energy entered these pocket dimensions, they will be corroded and destroyed.
"How is your research on using void energy to create a new ore as we did with the philosopher's stone and magicium?"
"Still in progress."
Edward's mind quickly functioned as he pondered a solution to this problem.
"Could you create the pocket dimension with the void energy?"
"Umm," muttered Rowena as she began to think. "Void energy contained many attributes with time and space being one of the main ones. If we can isolate or remove these other attributes, it should be quite easy to create a dimension with them.
"No, it would be better to use these attributes to reinforce the main ones."
After having a direction to go with, Rowena began to design the new Void Cannon. Once she was done, she had to leave as she reached the threshold to advance to Tier 5. So, Edward and the Flammels had to do the finishing touch.
After more than a year, everything was completed.
…
Edward floated in the air as he looked at this masterpiece of his. He flew over different parts of the city.
There were a few towers for research with the main one very noticeable. There was the Golem Factory Section to create robots or golems for either war or other activities.
There was the Clone factory Section that was next to the Army Training Camp. There was the Fleet Manufacturing Section to create Space Legions, the Civilian Section for people to live and relax, the library, and many more.
The Floating City was designed as a Civilization Restarter of the Arcane Empire. In case something happened, as long as it still exists, the entire civilization can be rebuilt once more from scratch.
As Edward looked at the entire thing, he became more secure in his future voyage. From now on, no matter what situation he faced in the future, he was more confident with the Floating City.
And he was not the only one excited. Nicolas Flammel was also very happy with the final result. He had long guessed of his identity as a possible clone of a powerful figure.
He did not care not suddenly wanted to revolt against the original version. However, he still had an obsession: to make an achievement that was better than the original version who created the Philosopher's Stone.
And to him, this Floating City was more than comparable.
"I suddenly had the urge to go kill Herpo," muttered Edward. However, he quickly removed this idea from his mind. With the floating city, even if Herpo regained his full power, he would not be his match.
"It's better to continue the plan I previously for him," said Edward slowly before looking in the distance. He sneered.
'It's about time that things between us came to an end.'
