Ed checked his notifications and noticed a string of experience points . There were also about 3 Gacha tickets dropped from whatever was killed . This brought back Ed's attention to the Regeneration skill he got from Norris . He was conflicted about using it since it was from Norris, but he realized his thinking was naïve . As long as it could be useful in protecting his loved ones, he would use whatever power he can get his hands on .

"What is that? Is it some enemies?!" Emilia was freaking out due to the fact that so many strong people appeared at once . She thought that reinforcement from Blood sect appeared .

"You don't need to worry . Those are my companions . " After Ed spoke to her she calmed down but was still confused . They leveled up out of nowhere so it was a rather unusual thing for her .

Ed crushed the Regeneration card and his wounds started healing . Emilia was once again stunned, and couldn't help but ask him about it .

"It's the same skill as Norris'" Ed didn't lie, but he didn't explain things either . Emilia didn't pursue things any further, as she didn't really care . She was happy enough to have avenged her mother and buried her .

"Master . " "Edward!" Ed heard some people calling out to him, which turned out to be Goburou and WarGreymon . "We need you to come with us," Goburou spoke without rushing until he noticed Emilia standing next to Ed . He looked at Ed and back Emilia and then said, "Sorry for interrupting" while bowing . This caused Ed and Emilia to turn red .

"You're not interrupting anything, what's wrong . " Ed tried to undo the misunderstanding but didn't try hard . All of his monsters had unique personalities, and Goburou's was the most unique one . He would either remain calm all the time or try to tease someone when he starts speaking . Even though Ed tried to explain to him, he would simply look at him and then at Emilia and smile . He looked like an older brother that found his sibling with a girlfriend .

"Nothing is wrong . We just hunted some stuff and thought you would like to have them . " He told Ed as they flew towards the ocean . WarGreymon was silent, but Ed could feel that he was excited about something . 'Probably food . ' Ed thought while looking at him .



Emilia was silent, but watching Goburou and WarGreymon closely . Vampires existed in this world, so she knew about them . But, she had never seen a monster like WarGreymon . She also felt that both of them were a lot stronger than what their cultivation level indicates .

After a while, they reached the ocean and Ed was ecstatic . Emilia on the other was stunned . The ocean that was usually frozen at this time of the year was melted . On the shore, hundreds upon hundreds of seafood, err sea monsters were lying dead . There were one-meter long shrimp monsters . Some eel-like long monster, an octopus, and some squids . There were also some whales and crabs . Most of these monsters were high leveled Heavenly Establishment beings . Yet, they were hunted in less than an hour .

Ed guessed that Goburou destroyed the ice blocking the ocean, and WarGreymon headed into the water to hunt . However, he didn't know why they were here so he asked them .

"Guards stopped coming so we decided to change the area . But, they still didn't come even here . We noticed the ocean and wanted to destroy it in order to attract attention . We ended up attracting monsters, not humans . " Goburou explained the whole situation to Ed .

Ed flew down and started storing the bodies . Whatever he couldn't reach, he used his Telekinesis as an extended hand to catch them and store them . So many monsters were gone in less than a minute .

Some more monsters appeared in the ocean, but Ed didn't bother with them . He had a lot of uneaten ingredients just sitting in his storage . So much that in fact, he didn't know what to do with them . After finishing, he flew back towards Emilia and the others, who then headed back to the castle .

"Do you need anything from here?" Ed asked her . He wanted to know if Emilia had anything she wanted from the castle . People tend to take things such as pictures with them . There were no cameras in this world, but artists existed . They manage to draw a picture that is almost as if the real person was living inside of it . Some artists go as far as to use QI in their drawings to make them more beautiful .

"No, we can leave . " Unfortunately, these portraits were all burned down by Norris once he took over . She had nothing that would interest her in the castle anymore .

"I see . Then it is only fitting if the castle follows after its master . " Emilia had no intention of ruling this country . The castle should indeed follow its master, her mother .

Ed withdrew Muramasa and used Fire magic . In an instant, a heat wave filled the entire capital . It was a change enough for them to notice . The snow stopped falling from the sky, while the one on the ground started melting . With a swing of his blade, the surroundings became quiet . The people could only hear the sound of an explosion, and once they looked at the source . The castle was gone . Ed and Norris managed to blow off the top of the castle, but now nothing remained . Not even rubble . The guards from Blood sect, who were inside, were also killed . Ed could see some small amount of Exp in his notifications .

"Let's go . " Ed returned and smiled toward Emilia . They all flew and met up again with Hayato and the rest who had regrouped .

"Where's Ellie?" Ed couldn't help but ask once he got there . Everyone was present except for her . He quickly checked the Map and noticed that she was somewhere inside the capital . He flew over there and met up with her .

"I was following this old man . Turns out there are six stars, not five, and this man is the hidden member . I beat him up and got this from his spatial ring . " Ellie handed Ed what seemed like a Map . It was a map of all the Blood sect posts situated on their continent .
