Chapter 82
Ed ran away from the scene . He was planning to return to Avalon kingdom to check up on his family and friends . Blood sect probably wouldn"t dare attack many kingdoms at once, but it was still a possibility . Ed also planned on letting his father know about what happened . He also wanted to gather information on Blood sect .
Ed didn"t stop to meet anyone . He already let Hayato know about his plans to leave the capital and the kingdom . Most of Ed"s teammates were going to do the same thing, even Emilia was a step ahead of him .
After Ed left the capital, he didn"t change from his disguise . He was going to go incognito all the way back to his kingdom . He had just killed a lieutenant of the army, so there was bound to be some pursuers . Although the king would probably delay them as much as possible, Ed still wanted to be safe . If they were to follow his tracks, they would find out that Ed was the murderer . Which might cause the lieutenant"s family to declare war on Ed"s family .
But if he was in his disguise, even if he was found it wouldn"t matter much as Ed had his ways of running away . However, it was only a matter of time before people make the connection between Ed, and the lieutenant, which will allow them to figure out Ed"s disguise . But, Ed wanted to buy as much time as possible .
Ed memorized the way back to the kingdom . It took him a couple of days before, but now he was going to do it in one day . Ed activated his Shadow Steps along with Ken . His speed was good enough to do the job . Whenever he had to change his speed, or if he met with an obstacle, Ed would simply use short teleport making him unstoppable . About two hours later, Ed was in Claw city .
Ed planned to check on Alice and her family . He wanted to know if the monster attack targeted the whole country, or simply the capital . He felt relieved to see that no damage was done to the city . "So only the capital was targeted" . Ed figured out that the Blood sect either wanted to simply announce themselves . Or didn"t have the resources to orchestrate several attacks at once .
Ed stealthily made his way to Alice"s inn and checked up on the family . Everyone one of them seemed to be doing fine . It looked like they were shaken due to the news of the capital being attacked, but they were fine otherwise . The army of the kingdom would probably be more active in all other cities after the attack on the capital . Ed didn"t worry much about the possibility of Norris attacking them in revenge of Ed . "Emilia is also going to check on him…" Ed thought .
After checking up on the family, Ed continued his journey . There was still a lot of distance to cover, so he needed to use his time well . Ed continued running the same way until he suddenly noticed that his speed had increased . He checked up on his status and noticed that Spectral Shadow Steps was one level away from completion . At least, according to his estimates .

"I need to break through to Earth Establishment as soon as possible…" . Ed remembered that the system told him he would be able to support Mangekyo-Sharingan, only when he is at Earth Establishment . He also needed to figure out what kind of abilities he gets from it . But, all of these were secondary objectives . His main objective was to get to Avalon kingdom and find out more about the Blood sect .
After Ed started feeling fatigued, he stopped and set up a camp to eat . It was getting dark so he was going to sleep here as well . Ed summoned everyone except Suika . He still didn"t know how he was going to break the news to her . She was very close to the children . Ed cooked some food for his companions and didn"t summon Suika until they were about to sleep . She looked confused as to why they were outside . She also wanted to know why Ed didn"t summon her for so long .
"We"re traveling somewhere for a while . " Ed simply lied to her as they slept . She seemed to notice something was wrong but didn"t ask . She trusted Ed and knew he wouldn"t hurt her .

In the morning, Ed recalled Suika, saying he would be running at high speed . Which he did . He was getting closer and closer to the kingdom . After a while, he rode on Raikou . As the latter knew Ed wanted to get there as soon as possible, he activated his lightning clad and ran at top speed . Although this form would usually wear down Raikou, he didn"t care .
Before long, Ed could finally see the kingdom . He stopped and changed his clothes . He didn"t forget to check if anyone was following him, but luckily no one did . Ed then continued towards the kingdom . As he was getting closer and closer to the kingdom he noticed that some familiar faces were near the gate .
"Halt!" The person at the gate didn"t seem to notice Ed"s ident.i.ty and stopped . That or Raikou scared him silly .
"Don"t worry It"s only me" Ed waved his hands indicating he was friendly .
"Your Highness! Forgive my insolence" The guard in the gate was the one Ed had transformed into when Eric was targeted before . Ed could remember his face due to that incident . There were also some sect disciples who were present before . It seemed like Ed"s father, or Leonard increased the security since then .
Raikou went into Ed"s shadow, while Ed moved to the castle . It"s been a while since he last saw his family .Ed ran away from the scene .
