Chapter 19: The team fight
"Well then master Ed, how should we handle this?" Griffin was now standing next to Ed. He was a King establishment level 5 but he was still no match for the man in front of him.
"We just have to hold on until my father comes here. I sent all of the disciples to inform him. Even if there was an issue all of them wouldn't be stopped" There were no disciples on the sect because Ed sent them all. This was also so he could fight without being reserved.
Ed had deactivated his Sharingan so he could last a little longer in the fight.
Griffin drew his sword and Ed took a stance once again. Then the man started his assault.
"Be careful Griffin, he can use illusions." Ed made sure to warn him about the opponent's abilities.
The man's speed was astonishing. In less than one second he was in front of Griffin. However the latter was also incredible, he could keep up and even counter-attack.
'He certainly is amazing' Ed could see how this young man was the number one disciple of their sect. He also joined the fight and both of them could pressure the man with their sword skills. Suddenly the man stepped back and looked like he was charging something up.
"Be careful he's using some type of magic!" Ed warned Griffin. Sure enough, the man conjured a huge fireball and threw it at the two.
"Leave this to me" Ed spoke and sheathed both of his swords."Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon!!" He then used the skill that was able to cut up a train compartment. After he was done the fireball was split into two and passed both of them. freewebnove l.com
Ed looked towards the old man and noticed he was gone. Griffin was also on guard seeing him disappear. "He must be using illusion magic to make himself disappear!" Ed figured out the trick and activated his Sharingan once again. He looked around and could see the space being blurry behind Griffin so he warned him quickly.
"Behind you!" Griffin heard Ed and quickly slashed where the man was, but could feel nothing. The man's speed was very impressive.
"Those eyes of yours are troublesome" The man was annoyed that his plans were foiled because of Ed so he switched his attention to him.
Griffin still couldn't see the man and was on guard but noticed Ed was tense so he knew he was being targeted. He rushed towards him and asked for assistance. "It would be a great help if you could tell me where he is, young master"
Ed knew Griffin wanted to help him so he started giving him directions. After a while their team play was perfect. However, the man was just too strong and they had suffered a lot of injuries.
Ed was now panting because of the Sharingan. He could usually last longer, but following the man's illusions while giving Griffin orders took its toll on him.
The man rushed at Ed and slashed. "It's time to end this" Ed was tired but still smirked.
"It is time to end this indeed" Ed jumped backward and yelled "Raikou!"
Ed's trusted partner who was waiting all this time jumped out of his shadow and used his lightning attack. After evolving for the 2nd time he now could use the lighting from a distance.
"Aaaah!" The man got hit by the lightning and stiffened up. He never expected a shadow-wolf to be hiding all this time.
Ed and Griffin used this chance to attack.
'Wind blade!' Ed coated his swords with wind and used fire magic on them. It was the combo he had used in the spar with Raikou.
Griffin also seemed like he coated his sword with something. It seemed like it was dense Qi.
Ed slashed his swords and sent the flames towards the man. The strength of this skill seemed like it was doubled when he used it with his two swords this time.
Griffin also slashed. The attack looked like what Ed's father used in their spar.
Raikou used flame magic as well and conjured many small fireballs.
All three of their attack hit their targets. A great noise was heard as if an explosion took place and dust filled the place.
After the dust cleared out, they could see that the man was injured. He had a deep slash on his body and some flame markings on his arms and head.
"How DARE YOU!" The man seemed like he was still fine after all of that. Ed and the rest were dumbfounded seeing that.
'All our attacks didn't even cause him to slow down...' Ed was now desperate.
The man charged up a lot of fireballs. It was similar to what Raikou just did, only the fireballs looked more menacing.
Ed got in front of the two and used the Sharingan and Seikken combo. With perfect precision, he kept hitting all of the balls. Griffin was surprised by this; he knew he couldn't do it.
After the Fireballs stopped Ed was simply too exhausted. He had pushed his body too far. Raikou realized this and came in front of him, protecting him. Griffin did the same.
Ed knew he would only get in their way if he tried to fight so he got back and simply warned them when the man used illusions.
Ten minutes later, all three had wounds on them. They could not fight anymore. The man knew this and moved to Ed to kill him, as he was the most troublesome.
"You should be proud kid, no one has pushed me this far when they were weaker than me!" The man showed respect to Ed and swung his sword.
However soon a shout was heard that made hearts tremble.
"YOU DARE KILL MY SON!" It was Arthur, he had finally arrived.
The man knew his time was done. He could not fight Arthur let alone escape from him when he was injured. He could kill Ed before his father could reach him, but he wanted to know how far this child would go so he simply walked to where his father was.
Arthur understood his intentions and pulled out his saber. He was glad his opponent was a warrior at heart and not a savage.
The two began their fight. Ed and Co. couldn't follow at all. The man was taking it easy on them all this time.
'I need to get stronger...' All three of them had the same thought.
Soon enough due to his wounds, the man fell on his knees.
"As thanks for having mercy on my son at least, I'll allow you to die as a warrior!" Arthur swung his sword and decapitated the man. One could see gratitude in his eyes as he died.
Arthur had thought about interrogating him but as they fought he knew the man was an expert so he would not disclose any information. And his act with Ed made Arthur respect him.
As the man died, Ed could hear the notification.
