Chapter 152
"First of all, you . " Ed pointed at the man using Leonard"s swords . "Those swords are crying for being carried by you . Unhand them . " Being their creator, Ed could somehow feel his weapons" thoughts . It was similar to how he could feel Shusui"s bloodl.u.s.t . Although his other two weapons didn"t exhibit such effects .
"You have to be kidding me! These weapons are the best I"ve ever used . I"ve never seen ones come close to their quality, except in the sect masters" hands!" The man laughed maniacally while gripping the swords hard .
"That wasn"t a proposal . " Ed released his killing intent, directing it at the man . Both of them, even though the second man wasn"t targeted, got tense . They instinctively attacked Ed, who in return disappeared from in front of them .
"You"ll need to wait for a little . " Ed appeared behind the second man, knocking him down . Even though he could fly, it didn"t help him much . Ed hit him with an immense force, so much that he felt like he hit the ground instantly .
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Ed"s remaining opponent slashed at him . He was surprised to see Ed turn into a mist that disappeared upon being touched . Suddenly, multiple Eds surrounded the man . The man could tell that they were the same person, yet different . He couldn"t see their faces even though he was looking at them . He slashed one of them, but the other one slashed at him . He had to repeat the same thing many times but soon felt like he was going crazy . The version of Ed started to laugh in a frightening way . The man acted like a madman before, but even he was getting scared due to this .
"Aaaaaaagh!" After a while, the man screamed and let out a Qi wave from his body . The version of Ed disappeared and only one remained . The one in front of him had his facial features, which relieved the man .
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d what did you do to me?! And what"s with those eyes?!!" The man questioned Ed after looking at his red eyes . Ed put the man under Genjutsu before he could even tell that Ed activated his Mangekyo Sharingan . On top of that, the man fought inside the Genjutsu for so long, but not even a second pa.s.sed in real life . Not even the man who was sent spiraling down made it back to them yet .
"You sure like to speak a lot, don"t you?" Ed provoked the man . The latter was incensed by rage and approached him in high speed .
"I won"t allow you to swing Leonard"s swords anymore . " Suddenly, time seemed as if it slowed down . Ed activated his Shunpo, Spectral Shadow Steps, and Nen combo at full force . The man in front was as good as a statue . Shusui slashed in an arc, and a moment later, Ed was behind the man .

"Aaargh!!!" The man felt a sharp pain a.s.sault his hand . When he tried to clutch it, he was surprised to see that nothing was there . "YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The man shouted in a mix of anger and pain . His bleeding slowing down at a visible rate . His recovery was remarkable, but there was no way he could regenerate a whole limb .
"Is this your revenge on me for taking the hands of your precious general?!" The man looked at Ed while laughing . He retook a stance, apparently trying to continue fighting Ed .
"So that"s what you did to Leonard? I simply cut the hand of a thief . If I had known what you did I would have made you suffer by cutting your limbs off hundreds of times under a Genjutsu . Or I should catch you and ask Suika to keep regenerating them every time?" Ed considered doing it . But he thought how Suika"s power was far too precious to be used on a useless man such as him .
The man was even angrier now that Ed was acting so high and mighty . Once more, he rushed at Ed to attack him . Ed did the same thing as before, but the man managed to dodge to the back since he predicted Ed"s moves .
"I won"t fall for the same trick twice!" The man swung at Ed while he was behind him . He managed to hit Ed"s torso, cutting him in half . A smile crept on his face, but a sudden voice snapped him out of it .
"I won"t fall for the same trick twice!" The man swung at Ed while he was behind him . He managed to hit Ed"s torso, cutting him in half . A smile crept on his face, but a sudden voice snapped him out of it .
"I don"t use the same trick twice . Unfortunately, I let you swing the sword once . " Ed appeared out of thin air behind the man . He used an afterimage technique by projecting his KI and making a copy of himself . He then used Zero Sign, which had recovered some use time, and appeared behind the man . Once again, the man"s hand was cut off, and Ed retrieved both of the Greatswords he made for Leonard .
"Give them back!" The man was not talking about the swords, but his hands . Ed looked at him and snickered .
"I already burned the first one . Like this, look . " The man"s hand that was hovering above Ed"s hand burst into flames . Not a single cell was spared, as it disappeared not even leaving ash behind . The man lost all his rationality and rushed at Ed again . His left leg and then right leg were cut off and burned . The man was now a flying torso with a head stuck to it . In fact, he was slowly falling to the ground due to his injuries .
"You don"t want to save your friend?" Ed spoke to no one . The man who he sent flying still had not joined in the battle to save the man Ed was fighting . He was watching Ed closely, hoping to be able to do something against him when they fought .
"Ho? No one should be able to sense me in this state . " Air rippled and a woman"s figure started appearing . She was about 1 . 65 meters tall with a perfect figure . She was wearing heavy makeup . Her face did not have the same luck as her figure .

"This man can hardly be called a friend . He"s simply a killer that joined us . " The woman looked at the man, and three swords appeared behind him . Two of them stabbed him, while the last one decapitated him . The woman looked at Ed as if waiting for him to act but was relieved that he didn"t move . However, Ed didn"t satisfy her relief .
"You can"t-fool me," Ed spoke and sent a flying slash, imbued with Fire magic, towards an empty spot in the air . "Gyaaaaa!!!" A scream sounded and the man from before appeared . "You also shouldn"t underestimate me . If I can tell your position, I can obviously tell his . " Ed spoke while looking at the woman, who now had a worried expression . The man"s scream died down along with his life .
"You"re the one that helped the n.o.ble enter the kingdom right . That"s one mistake you"ll regret ever making . " Ed knew that the n.o.ble he killed couldn"t have infiltrated the kingdom on his own . After seeing this woman"s ability, he knew it was her . He rushed at her, aiming to kill her .First of all, you . Ed pointed at the man using Leonards swords . Those swords are crying for being carried by you . Unhand them . Being their creator, Ed could somehow feel his weapons thoughts . It was similar to how he could feel Shusuis bloodl.u.s.t . Although his other two weapons didnt exhibit such effects .
