Chapter 86: Monster

Ed was now in his room. In front of him, Sebas and Becky stood.

"I want you two to buy everything that I have written here. You don't have to worry about the money. I'll be providing it". Ed passed them each a paper. One paper had the items necessary for him to craft weapons. The other was for medicinal items. He also gave each one of them, 50.000 gold coins. 'That should be more than enough' Ed thought.

While waiting for them to return, Ed decided to check up on his brother and friends. He headed to the sect ground. This time he didn't need a letter from his father. After the incident, Ed was given the freedom to enter sect grounds. He was basically a freelance disciple. After a while, he reached the sect and the guards let him inside without a single word.

He looked for the people he was searching for in the training grounds. The first one he noticed was Oliver, who was training with a bow. 'As expected he chose something to do with accuracy'. Ed had experienced Oliver's accuracy firsthand back when he saved him with a rock.

"Mister Ed!" Oliver seemed to notice Ed's presence and turned around. He quickly dropped his bow to the ground and made his way to Ed.

"You should never drop your weapon!" An instructor on the side was about to rebuke Oliver when he suddenly noticed Ed waving his hand. It's been a long time now since they met, so Ed decided to help his friend a little.

"Long time no see" Ed stated chatting with Oliver. Asking him about his training, his bow, and his life now in the sect. Oliver was smiling whenever he spoke. 'It seems that he truly likes the sect here'. Ed couldn't help but think about Eri and the children, and how their lives might have been if they came to the sect.

"I need to go and look for Griffin and Eric. Let's catch up some more later." After chatting for a while, Ed decided to continue looking for his other friends. It was already a little late, so he needed to hurry up. He would be busy the next couple of days, so he might not get the chance again.

"They should be in the inner training hall!" The inner training hall was reserved for Elders and exceptional disciples. It would only make sense that Griffin and Eric would be there.

Ed made his way inside, looking for the two. He passed by a couple of disciple and Elders. To be an Elder in Glory sect, you would need to be at least Earth Establishment level 5. Most Elders here are considered powerful. Most of them were actually at Heavenly Establishment. Only those who were unfortunate enough not to breakthrough were still at Earth Establishment.

Finally, Ed made his way to the training hall. There, he found that Griffin and Eric were sparring. While a couple of Elders were watching over them. Ed entered after greeting the Elders, trying his best not to disturb the two of them. He sat down while watching the spar of the two.

'Griffin is at Earth Establishment level 3, and Eric is level 2. Both of them really did cultivate hard.' Ed was surprised at the sudden power-up of the two of them. Their cultivation speed didn't lose to Ed's. Maybe a little slower, but still exceptional.

The two of them finally finished after 15 minutes. They turned their heads towards Ed.

"You're back Ed" "Master Ed" Eric was casual while Griffin still bowed his head to him. Ed has a good relationship with him, but it seems that he still regards him as a royalty.

"Good to see you guys. I can see that you were training hard!"

"Same for you!" The three of them started catching up. Ed didn't mention the incident in Scale kingdom. Information like that was Arthur's responsibility.

"How about a little spar, Ed?" Eric offered. 'So it came to that after all!' Ed didn't know what was wrong with the people that he knows. All of them want to fight him.

Ed agreed and headed into the ring. It was going to be a three-way battle, Ed vs. Eric vs. Griffin. There were no weapons involved, and if you get out of the circle you lose.

"Start!" One of the Elders announced. All three of them rushed at each other. Ed activated his Seikken and Ed. Both of his opponents were stronger than him, so he couldn't mess around. In this stare, Ed could react to both of them at the same time. He was parrying both of their attacks at once. It was a three-way battle, but it seemed like they were focusing on him. Or so he thought.

Eric took his chance and kicked at Griffin. It was a surprise attack, yet the latter was able to react instantly, and caught Eric's leg, flipping him. Eric wasn't caught by surprise, so he regained his balance in mid-air, falling back to his leg. "Don't forget about me" Ed's voice reminded them both that it was a three-way battle. He kicked Eric and punched Griffin almost at the same time. Making them guard instantly.

The fight dragged on for a while without anyone gaining the upper hand. None of them were giving it their all after all. After a while, they stopped.

"You're quite the monster aren't you, Ed?" Eric told Ed the word he didn't want to hear. All of his friends called him a monster, and now his brother too. Griffin was nodding his head in agreement. It was a predictable reaction, as Ed was fighting two opponents who were stronger than him without losing. In fact, he put pressure on them most of the time.

"I need to head back for now. I'll see you guys later" Ed went back to the castle. It was already dark outside by now. He greeted Oliver who was heading to his room. He didn't live in the castle anymore but decided to live in the sect, same as the other disciple.

Ed reached the castle and ate, took a shower, and headed to his room. Most of the items he requested were bought, while some would be available tomorrow. He wasn't going to start until all items were present.
