Chapter 157
Raikou was the one who managed to find Arthur . He was coming with a small group of people, but they were under attack from Blood sect members . Raikou quickly told Ed, who then flew to the direction he was told .
"Edward!" Arthur managed to notice his son even while fighting an enemy . Ed waved at him and smiled while summoning his companions . Arthur was actually in a bind since his opponent was also at Immortal Establishment, a level higher . Arthur had some people helping him . But, they were all fighting people with a cultivation higher than theirs . Ed"s help was much appreciated .
Ed was surprised to see who accompanied Ed . Inside a carriage was the king of Scale kingdom and his family, who looked very injured . But outside of the carriage was the true surprise . Hayato and Ellie were fighting while protecting the carriage, along with a middle-aged man who Ed never saw before . Ed"s companions managed to lessen the burden on Arthur and he managed to turn the tables on his opponent . Ed also killed close to ten Heavenly Establishment cultivators, helping reduce the numbers of the strong ones . Soon enough, Hayato and Ellie managed to kill their opponents . As well as many other Heavenly Establishment cultivators . The ones attacking Arthur"s group were small in number . But they had a high number of Heavenly Establishment cultivators . But, they didn"t have monsters like the ones that attacked Avalon .
"We"ll talk later, stay still for a while . " Noticing that everyone wanted to ask him something, Ed stopped them . They killed their pursuers but knew if some others laid in ambush . Ed caught the carriage first and teleported it to the kingdom . Then he quickly did the same for the others . In less than a minute, he managed to teleport everyone to the courtyard of the castle . Elizabeth and the others were glad to see Arthur back safe . Their reunion lasted for a while before Ed summoned Suika and Merry . He asked them to heal those inside the carriage . He only asked for a light healing until they stabilize, then they could fully heal them .
Ed was in deep thinking, but it was cut short as he felt a punch coming towards him . He managed to stop it, realizing in the process who attacked him .
"Where have you been you, idiot?!" Ellie asked him in a hurry . Hayato behind her looked at him in the same questioning way .
"It"s complicated ha ha ha" Ed answered while scratching his face awkwardly .
"What do you mean complicated?!" Ellie sent another punch which was stopped by Ed . He looked at her and realized some tears were filling her eyes .
"Are you crying?" Ed couldn"t help but ask . He was touched that his friends were worried about his well being .
"Like I would! Hmph!" She snorted and crossed her hands .
"Like I would! Hmph!" She snorted and crossed her hands .
"I"ll explain everything in due time . I need to find out about something . "
Before Ed could ask, Hayato spoke . "It"s about Emilia right? We"re saving her of course, isn"t that right?" A smile appeared on both Ed and Hayato"s faces . "Of course!" Ed answered him . Their friend was in danger, so of course, they would save her .
"By the way, what are you guys doing here?" Ed remembered and asked them .
"Our Great-grandfather is a comrade of the king . He sent me and father to help Sir Arthur save him . " Hayato explained while pointing at the man who Ed didn"t meet before . It turns out that he is Hayato"s father .
"My father disowned me so I"m now roaming around," Ellie spoke with a smile on her face . Now the usual reaction of someone disowned .
"My father disowned me so I"m now roaming around," Ellie spoke with a smile on her face . Now the usual reaction of someone disowned .
"If you don"t mind me asking, why?" Ed found it weird .
"I"m a n.o.ble"s daughter, yet I opposed the king"s decision of joining forces with Blood sect . he had no choice . He did it to protect me . " She explained the situation . Only now did Ed find out that she wasn"t a princess, but only a n.o.ble"s daughter .
They didn"t discuss things anymore and instead went inside . Arthur used his time to catch up with Ed . But never once did he ask for the reason of his absence . After a while, he let Arthur know that he was going to Aragon kingdom . Which Arthur seemed reluctant to accept, but still allowed him . He also explained that the Ice Empress had pa.s.sed away . Ed didn"t know who she is at first but got to know, thanks to Hayato, that she"s Emilia"s mother .
The fall of Aragon kingdom was due to the death of the Ice Empress . Although she only had a cultivation of Immortal Establishment level 2, she was considered to be very potent in battle . Her mastery over ice earned her the t.i.tle Ice Empress . Ed frowned after hearing that she was killed . He couldn"t imagine how Emilia felt at the time .
Leonard surprised Arthur by sneaking up on him and catching him in a hold . Arthur was glad to see that he got his arms back, and realized it was thanks to Suika . He thanked her a lot and asked Ed to allow her to help the king, as he lost his entire arm from the shoulder .
"What is wrong with Blood sect and severing arms?" Ed couldn"t help but think this way while giving Suika the permission . Merry also joined to help her in the treatment of the injured . Alicia came out of the carriage, barely walking, and thanked Ed and his family directly . Tears never left her eyes, as she and her family barely escaped death .

Ed and Arthur stopped her and allowed her to rest after being treated .
"Merry, I"d like for you to train her as she uses Light magic like you," Ed asked Merry to train Alicia . This was the only thing he could do to her, as he knew how hard it was not to be able to protect someone precious to you .
"Of course!" Merry agreed as it was also a new experience for her to train someone .
"So Ed, when will we leave?" Hayato asked him about the date where they would save Emilia .
"Soon, but first . It"s time for an equipment power-up!" Ed withdrew a hammer he used for crafting and spun it in his hand .Raikou was the one who managed to find Arthur .
