"Hokuto," said Edward to summon his mighty dragon. And as soon as the dragon appeared, it opened its mouth to spray a powerful Lightning Breath.
Sun Magic: Solar Cover
A red cover with the sun's power surrounded Zuriel to block the attack, which lasted for at least 30 seconds. Afterward, Zuriel panted while looking seriously at the dragon.
Solar Gun
The pages in Zuriel's Grimoire flipped as he stabbed his sword forward. A small dot of solar energy rapidly gathered on the tip of his blade before a massive energy bean rushed toward Hokuto with ghastly speed.
The dragon could not respond in time, so after the attack, most of the dragon's scales were burned, and he appeared more illusory as if he was about to disappear.
Edward waved a talisman to him and said: "Order." Green lights enveloped the dragon as the power of nature healed his wound at a pace visible to the naked eye.
"Hokuto, use the Thunder Escape Tactic."
The dragon roared to the sky before shooting another Lightning Breath at Zuriel. However, after the latter blocked the attack, the dragon suddenly turned into lightning and disappeared.
When he appeared, he was being Zuriel and used another attack; the dragon repeated the same tactic by constantly teleporting around his opponent and attacking from the sky.
After a few minutes of non-stop defending, Zuriel knew he could not remain on the defensive, so he used an AOE spell.
Sun Magic: Solar Flare
The red shield protecting him suddenly turned orange with a few white spots before expanding in all directions. And as it expanded, everything in its path was reduced to ashes.
Edward summoned Hokuto to stay behind him and clapped his hand together while rapidly chanting: "Akino asif nou pika toun poufheid."
Ten giant icebergs appeared in front of him as a shield. However, Zuriel's sun power melted the ice after a few seconds of confrontation. Subsequently, the ice turned into a massive ocean that submerged the heat of the solar flare.
As a result of this elemental confrontation, mist covered the entire sealed space. Edward acted quickly to write some characters in the air, and afterward, the mist in the surroundings suddenly turned into thousands of Ice Swords.
Zuriel's face immediately became somber as he saw these swords. He has been a teacher in the Onmyou Royal Academy for some time, so he understood the magic system.
As such, he could tell these swords were not simple ice–or the subcategory of the water element–but also contained the Gold Element to increase their sharpness.
'To be able to manipulate Ice, Water, and Gold to such an extent. Who is this person? Is he really from the Western Continent?'
Because the Western Continent only used one magic attribute, it is challenging for the people there to adapt to using multiple attributes–especially without a Grimoire.
After coming to this place, Zuriel wanted to become an Onmyou Mage teacher at the Academy, but it was difficult for him to adapt to the new magic system.
He had to learn many magical theories of different elements, the relationship between them, and how to properly control them for battle.
So, after considering the time it would take him to become a qualified mage and teacher, he decided to become a Samurai instead. However, he knew that "Ozuki Akimitsu" had only been in the Academy for over three months.
So, it was unfathomable to him for this individual to fight him using the eastern magic system.
Boom!
The ice swords landed on Zuriel, creating a shockwave that shook the Sealing Barrier Edward placed in the surrounding. However, after the smoke from the explosion vanished, Zuriel's intact body appeared.
However, he was intact; his body had now completely turned red as if he was the sun incarnate. His every breath seemed to twist the space around him because of the intense heat.
Sun Magic: Light of the Sun
Zuriel turned into a red light to rush toward Edward. In an instant, he appeared in the latter's position and slashed his sword down.
Bang!
The ground shook, and cracks appeared on the barrier. Luckily, Edward read Zuriel's Ki and reacted in time by jumping on Hokuto's back and flying in the air.
'An attack based on the mass of the sun? Sun Magic is quite the interesting magic,' thought Edward as he looked at the massive crater his opponent left where he previously stood.
Of course, Zuriel could not achieve the actual mass of the sun; otherwise, the entire continent would blow up.
Edward waved his hand to activate hundreds of talismans which reinforced the barrier and healed the already existing cracks. Then, he started chanting: "Lord Kokonochi, ruler of the Domain of Forest, I beseech thee to grant me absolute control of wood, and…."
As Edward chanted his spell, Zuriel continued his attacks on him by rushing and slashing with his swords or even using long-distance spells. At some point, he caught up to Edward, but Hokuto sent him flying away his tail, burning it in the process.
It took Edward 1.5 seconds to finish the chant, and he suffered close to a hundred attacks in the process. Luckily, he learned a lot about Ki Sensing in class and the knowledge he previously stole from the nobles.
"Ten Thousand Buddha Arm."
A wooden Buddha with more than 1000 arms appeared, and Edward jumped into its head. One arm slammed against Zuriel with extreme force. However, the wooden arm burned upon impact.
Nevertheless, the other arms continued their barrages of attacks, and each time an arm was burned, another regrew to replace the destroyed one.
With the constant attacks, Zuriel found his mobility impaired. So, he decided to increase the temperature around his body to burn the attacking arms at a much faster rate,
Anyway, he had the elemental advantage of fire over wood. Or so he thought.
A few seconds into this confrontation, Zuriel noticed his mana was reducing at an alarming rate; the wooden arms could absorb mana. Knowing he could not continue like this, he quickly went on the offensive.
Sun Magic: Sun Explosion
A mini sun the size of five basketballs appeared in his palm before throwing at the Wooden Buddha. Hundreds of the wooden arms were instantly vaporized by the sun's heat.
So, Edward took out four talismans and threw them at the mini suns. They positioned themselves in four positions before forming a cube-shaped transparent barrier surrounding the sun.
Boom!
The mini sun exploded, but the barrier managed to withstand the attack. At the same time, Zuriel prepared to attack again since he felt his mana running at an all-time low.
However, he sensed something above him and looked up. He saw Hokuto with his mouth opened and a thunder ball more than 2 meters in diameter. Before he could react, the Shikigami fired the thunder ball.
Sun Magic: Gravity of a Star
A powerful gravity shield appeared to protect Zuriel from the Thunder Ball. However, he soon discovered that the absorption rate of his mana suddenly increased.
He looked at his feet where he saw a little tree sapling next to him; it was so small that he did not even notice when it appeared next to him.
Zuriel's face became pale. After using such a high-level spell and having his mana absorbed, he was almost running out.
'It's about time,' thought Edward before clapping his hands. Then, countless circular runs and characters that seemed to be written in black ink appeared in all four corners of the barrier.
Subsequently, silver chains came out from all directions to bind Zuriel's body.
"Mantra, Talisman, Shikigami, Ceremonies, and Sealing Art. In such a short time, you have mastered all the advanced forms of these magics; you are quite the individual," said Zuriel calmly.
"However, this will not change anything. You won't get any information from my mouth. So, go ahead, do your worse."
"I don't need you to speak," Edward replied before motioning with his fingers. Then, a new set of chains appeared before piercing Zuriel's head and pulling out a transparent version of himself: his soul.
Edward took out a bunch of more new talismans and activated them. As the talismans floated in the air, a grey mist floated out from Zuriel's body into the talismans.
Not even two seconds after gathering these grey mists, black chains appeared on Zuriel's soul to prevent the mists from leaving them. However, Edward activated more talismans to fight the black chains.
A little over ten seconds later, a strange vibration came from the chains and annihilated Zuriel's soul, and Edward could not do anything to prevent it.
With a composed look, he muttered: "I was correct. There are three different types of Universe Will: the one who sealed me, the one I notice in Elysium, and the one in the Academy."
After fighting and analyzing the Universe's Will power from Zuriel's soul, many things became more apparent to him.
Edward waved his hand to collect the gray mists he gathered: 'Hopefully, I can gather enough memories to learn about Elysium.'

Edward reviewed all the memories he got from Zuriel, and he learned a few important things.
First, Elysium is divided into four layers: the first–which was the one he entered–was the Angel area, where regular members of the angel race resided. Not all the angels in that layer focused on battles; some are just ordinary people–albeit with very high mana compared to other races.
The second layer is where the Archangels resided. They all have excellent battle strength, ranging from mid to high-level devils.
The third layer is where the Seraphim resided. These angels have the strength of the highest devils, and two are on par, if not more powerful than the three leaders of the Underworld.
These two angels are called the Seraphim Lord and have the second-highest authority in the Elysium. As for the final layer, it is a forbidden ground where "God" resides.
Edward did not get much information about God except that all the angels called him "Father." Zuriel was once a Seraphim; however, a few years ago, his father sent him on a special mission to impregnate a mortal woman in the Mortal Realm.
And to accomplish this task, he needed to give up most of his powers and start over to enter the Mortal Realm; this is why he did not put on a better fight since he was restricted.
Regarding this entity known as "God," Edward learned two things: one, he is responsible for Asta and Liebe's birth, and as he previously speculated, he wanted to use them to deal with the underworld.
Second, and the most crucial information, was a brief conversation Zuriel had with one of the Seraphim Lords.
A beautiful woman with golden wings, dressed in a long white gown, a halo floating above her head, looked at Zuriel while sitting on a silver throne.
"Remember, your mission will decide whether our father can reach transcendence, so you must succeed at all costs."
"Transcendence? What does that mean?" muttered Edward as numerous thoughts flashed across his mind. Then, he seemed to have figured out something.
"Does this God want to escape the shackles of this universe?"
He knew the highest power level achievable in the Black Clover universe was Tier 7 Star Level. After that, it is impossible to reach a higher Tier, but this God must have thought of leaving this universe to reach higher levels of power.
"If he succeeded, he most likely would have entered the Void and died; this is the sad fate of weaker universes," Edward muttered.
"Wait, not necessarily. The Akashic Record most likely has its hands in this universe as well. If God succeeded, they might contact him and make them one of their members.
"After all, how many people can reach the limit of their universe, let alone find a way to ascend beyond it."
He could not help but remember Truth. He was a Tier 11 Multiversal Entity and very close to ascending beyond his universe and reaching Tier 12. From what Edward knows, only in this tier can someone survive in the Void without any danger.
Countless thoughts flashed across his mind as he pieced many puzzles together. He theorized that the Angel-Devil War was probably a war between God and Satan for the right to ascend beyond the universe.
Unfortunately, the Wizard Sage came out of nowhere and used the fact these two were weakened in their confrontation to seal them in their respective Domain, thus preventing them from achieving their goals.
"The Wizard Sage was not a normal person as well," thought Edward as he summoned his Origin Grimoire. He could now guess this grimoire was essential for God's ascension.
And the Ascension Method will most likely involve the Universe's Will.
'Alright, with this much information, it should be easier to invade Elysium,' thought Edward. 'Plus, I must get my hands on the Origin Grimoire at the Academy as soon as possible, so I need to use some drastic means.'
After making preliminary plans, Edward disappeared from Zuriel's barrier and returned to his own. He looked at the passed-out Shinobis and Onmyou Mages and decided not to kill them.
He read these people's memories and knew the Onmyou Shogun sent them. So, Edward decided to let them get captured by other royal families to create political strife in the upper echelon of the Yamato Dynasty.
After all, such blatant attacks on students and teachers and the fact these people placed the princess in great danger are enough excuses to deal a significant blow to the Shogun.
Edward broke the barrier that sealed him and returned to the real world. He immediately squinted his eyes at what he saw. The princess had used a Spirit Fusion technique and was now battling the Yokai alone.
As he looked at her with five tails and used the Celestial Talisman Technique with ease, using unknown mantras, and dodging the attack of the Yokai, Edward knew something was wrong: she should not have such power.
So, he closed his eyes and sensed the mark he had previously left on her. He felt something wrong with her Soul Dimension, so he secretly searched for an explanation there.
"Is that…the former Emperor's Soul?" muttered Edward softly. "I sense an aura similar to Zagred's Reincarnation Spell. So, the Emperor did not suddenly die but used a Reincarnation Spell for some reason and is now Princess Matsumoto?"
Edward continued to sense as he felt he was missing something. So, after analyzing everything, a sudden understanding came over.
"One body, two souls. Something must have gone wrong with his spell, resulting in him reborn in a body with an already existing soul."
Based on this information, Edward can guess the events after that. The Emperor became Princess Matsumoto's protector and teacher. Not only will he teach her his knowledge and experience, but he will also occupy her body to protect her in times of danger.
From what Edward knew, the princess suffered many assassination attempts in her youth, but she survived all of them–unlike many of her siblings.
'This old geezer probably wants to find a body suitable for him to take over. Most likely, the princess was interested in me because she wanted mine.'
With the talent he displayed, it would make sense that someone would want to seize his body. However, Edward was interested in whether the Yamato Clan or some members knew of the Emperor's reincarnation.
More importantly, why did the Emperor choose to reincarnate himself?
Edward shook his head as he could not guess because of the lack of information. He then glazed at the commoner students that he trained. They were all inside a barrier created by talismans he made for them in case of emergency.
However, the other royal students were lying on the floor, bleeding and on the verge of dying. As for the princess, she was holding her own, but it was apparent that she would not last long.
The incompatibility of the Emperor's Soul with the princess's body made him difficult to use all his strength.
Edward looked in the distance at those Shinobi who sealed Kurama and Kisuke-sensei. They were shocked before rushing toward their captured comrades. Unfortunately, Edward used a talisman that manifested chains to capture these Shinobis.
But to his slight surprise, they immediately bit their tongues to commit suicide. Nevertheless, he did not care since he already had the others as witnesses.
Edward then flew to the dying royal children and wrote healing talismans in the air to heal them. Although he did not like the nobility, these were talented children. They can be molded into great Arcanists for the Empire with the proper education.
In the process of doing so, he also deactivated the power boost he gave the Yokai, drastically reducing its power from a mid-level devil to a low-level one. The Emperor took this opportunity to slay the Yokai.
Meanwhile, Edward looked in the distance with a smirk. With such a terrifying disaster, the Onmyou Punishment Hall should have already sent people to deal with it. Yet, after so long, no one arrived.
He guessed the Shogun wanted to use this opportunity not only to capture and enslave Edward but deal with the princess and the royal heirs. And he did not mind sacrificing his son, Yuji, to do so.
After healing these people, Edward did not say anything else and began to chant a long mantra. While doing so, he also wrote many characters in the air.
After a good minute and a half of chanting, the characters formed a magic array in the form of a circle. Then, a brilliant light descended from it to surround the entire village.
The light immediately purifies the abnormal energy from the Spiritual World, including the ones in the villagers. Typically, these villagers should have died after this process while their pure souls move to the afterlife.
But under Edward's control, the light turned into a vitality that healed their injuries while also fixing the deformation caused by being demonized. That way, these villagers turned back to normal; this was a feat that shocked the people who experienced it.
