Chapter 93: Three types of Spirit

Ed didn't panic after noticing the monsters. Instead, he withdrew his Katanas and took a stance to attack. "Raikou" Ed returned Suika to her card form while calling Raikou. The latter understood that Ed was going to use an AOE skill to kill all the monsters. They weren't particularly strong, but there were a lot of them.

"Fire Tornado!" Ed spun around while slashing with his swords. The monsters were caught up inside the tornado. Seemingly unstoppable, it kept killing them one after the other. Soon enough, all monsters were on the ground.

Raikou got back out, and Ed summoned Suika. He didn't bother to store the monsters' bodies. They were too mutilated to be worth something. Ed activated his Map. It would usually give him a general idea of the structure of the area where he is. The floor this time was like an ant hive. Many rooms were joined together. What's more, the floor was brimming with monsters.

The challenge on this floor wasn't the strength of the monsters, but the number. Each room had hundreds of Knight Establishment monsters. Ed knew that if an inexperienced person were to enter, they would suffer greatly. Ed only asked for the information on how to get to the tower from Leonard. He wanted to conquer on his own, without help. No one would guarantee that he would always have a good understanding of his opponents.

On top of that, Ed also chose this place because he wanted to train a certain skill. He still didn't acquire it, but he had the prerequisite for it. Ed asked the system about the ability to learn skills on his own. The answer was favorable. Ed wouldn't have to rely on the Gacha to learn skills. But he couldn't learn skills that were too specific. For example, he would have never been able to acquire the Sharingan on his own. This automatically excluded race skills such as Super Saiyan abilities.

"They should be good enough" Ed stopped in front of one of the rooms. Inside the room, monsters that looked like Golems stood there. However, these ones weren't the usual type. Instead, they were too diverse. Some of them were holding swords, looking slim. Others had a big frame. Each one of them was specialized in speed, power, or defense.

Ed chose these monsters specifically for his skill training. He was trying to train his Haki. He already got a general idea for training it. Haki is split into three types. Two of them could be trained by anyone, while the last type is very rare. The first type is Armament Haki. This type lets people use their spirit as an armor. Allowing them to block attacks to a certain degree, while also serving as a good offense. This type enables the user to hurt intangible opponents. Even if they were made from fire or lightning, they would be powerless in front of this Haki.

The second type is observation Haki. This type allows people to feel the presence of others even when they couldn't be seen. This one was similar to En, but Ed knew that it was much more useful. It doesn't drain the person as much. It also allows them to feel the intention of others, making it easier to predict and dodge their attacks. If it is trained enough, it could even let the user 'see' a few seconds if the future.

The last and most important type is the Conqueror's Haki. Ed wanted to acquire this type the most. It allows people to overpower others through their spirit. Those who are too weak would not be able to keep their conscious in case it is used. Ed was bound to fight a was a war against the Blood sect. And wars are fought in great numbers. If he could reduce his enemies' numbers, it would be worth it. It is also said that whoever can use such Haki has the disposition of a king.

Ed entered the room with a blindfold. He was going to train the second type of Haki. The first one was already like Ken. Ed would be able to use it as soon as he can condense his spirit into an armor. The Observation Haki was also similar to En and Seikuken, but also inherently different. It couldn't only sense the presence of other also their feelings and thoughts.

Ed used a short teleport to the middle of the monster horde. There were more than 100 monsters who quickly pounced on Ed. The fast ones took less than a second to reach him. Ed was used to fighting monsters, so his instincts kicked in allowing him to dodge them. He suppressed them and tried to train properly. Raikou and Suika were on standby by Ed's orders. They would intervene if they felt like Ed was in danger, but it seemed like they didn't have to worry. The monsters were far weaker than Ed. Making them unable to harm him.

Ed spent almost two hours in this state. As an Enhancer, his durability, stamina, and defense were much higher compared to others. The monsters simply couldn't keep up. Most of the Golems' arms or swords were crumbling by now. Ed knew that this was their limit, so he simply killed them. In one sword slash.

He took his blindfold off and walked to the entrance of the room. He felt like he only made a little improvement. He knew it wasn't simple to be able to use Haki naturally. But, he still felt annoyed. It was one of his bad habits since he got many skills already at a high level.

"I'll do the same in a few more rooms, then we'll look for the floor boss." Ed had one advantage. The monsters' numbers were almost unlimited. The tower would keep generating monsters at a speed far greater than the speed they are killed by. This gave Ed the chance to train as much as he wants. He opened his Map and marked the most populated rooms in his mind. He had to check the type of monsters as well. He wanted to try monsters like Golems who were automated since it means that their thoughts are almost nonexistent. Thus, letting him train his Haki much more efficiently.
