Chapter 207
"This child should really learn how to hold back . " Arthur approached Ed"s fainted body and carried him . "Where"s my pride as a father if he takes care of opponents such as these every time?" Uther and Akira on the side chuckled as well . They knew that their children were about to overtake them as well and they would be feeling the same way as Arthur .
"I think it"s time to end the war," Arthur took Ed to a tent and left him to rest there . Raikou remained next to him in case anything happens .
The war had more or less been won . Most of the strong leaders of Blood sect were killed and the soldiers were being mercilessly killed . Arthur thought hard about whether to kill them all or to spare them . But, he thought how slaughtering them all would be an embarra.s.sment to them . They were the winner and there was no reason to claim more lives . He flew towards the battlefield with his injured body and appeared at the front line .
"The supreme commander of the Blood sect army is no more!" He shouted these words for enemies and allies to hear . The allies that were resting in the back, and the new reinforcement, cheered . The enemies, now numbering less than 200 . 000 slumped and knew what it meant . They had lost the war . Their fate now rests on the degree of mercy in Arthur"s heart . Luckily for them, he had made up his mind .
Goburou and Garu leading the two monsters armies thought about whether to continue killing or to stop . They knew that Ed needed to kill in order to get stronger . But, the man in front of them was Ed"s father . After thinking about it for a while, they decided to halt the advancement of the monsters . Ed"s companions also reached the same conclusion and stopped their ma.s.sacre .
"We will not kill you; however don"t expect us to be lenient . You will let your weapons down at once and we will take you as prisoners . Your fate will be decided afterward . " The soldiers of Blood sect had no choice but to comply . At least most of them .
"I request a match . I won"t die as a prisoner," a man said as he flew from among the soldiers . He was covered in blood and wounds and seemed to be one of the soldiers that fought the hardest . He could barely hold the sword, as his entire body was shaking . Still, he held on to his conviction and stood in front of Arthur . His breathing was heavy and uneven . The pressure of fighting against Arthur, a better cultivator and also as the supreme commander, weighed heavily upon him .
"I accept," said Arthur as he drew his saber . The man that requested the duel was a mid-level Heavenly Establishment . It wasn"t a duel but a fulfillment of a last wish . They clashed swords only once, yet it looked majestic . The man"s body fell to the ground as he drew his last breath . He died a warrior and not a prisoner .
"Anyone else?" Arthur said solemnly . The enemy soldiers thought hard about it, but only a handful of them requested it . Most of them clung to their lives, be it as free men or as prisoners, they wanted to live .
The enemy soldiers had their hands bound and started moving towards the camp . The coalition army soldiers did a final round of search, as they picked up the bodies of their comrades . Among them, a fat man was holding a skinny man as he muttered, "In the end, you"re the one who went out with a bang…" It was the two friends that joked about this war being the end for them before it began . Now, only one of them remained .
The fat man pushed back his tears as he stored his best friends" body into a spatial ring . The war was not a pleasant one, and no matter how much they could gain from, they would always lose something much more important . The lives of the soldiers . The coalition army had lost a little less than half of its members . Glory sect lost two of its Elders, while Ryuu kingdom lost most of the soldiers . If not for the fact that Ed managed to kill all of the commanders, only death would have awaited them .
They had won, they were proud . But, they were not happy .
Ed woke up in his tent after resting for a while . All of his companions were by his side, as they had returned from the battlefield .
"So, what happened?"
"Your father decided to spare the soldiers . No one objected, so they are being escorted . " Sieg gave him a simplified version of what happened . Ed thought about it for a while and smiled . He didn"t object either and he wouldn"t have . He could always get stronger some other way .
"I see . Then, I guess we"ll get to have a vacation for a little while . " Ed thought about how Blood sect would suffer from this defeat . They lost so many Immortal Establishment cultivators . So many soldiers . So many monsters…No matter what their next move will be, it won"t be a second invasion .

"So, how strong did they become?" Ed contacted the system by telepathically .
[Wait, I"ll show you a list . ]

"Perfect!" Ed thought to himself as his plan was successful . He used the Party Function in order to share the exp with his friends and companion . He could only use it on twenty people, so this was the best match-up that he could come up with . In this one battle, he managed to strengthen the people closest to him . He thought about it for a little, as his tent opened up . It was Emilia .This child should really learn how to hold back . Arthur approached Eds fainted body and carried him .
