Lost Vision

"Hmm, more and more of them are appearing. Oliver, you should stay with Raikou, these guys are all stronger than you." Eric noticed the influx of people that appeared due to the disturbance they caused. Almost all of them were at Heavenly Establishment. The remaining were at Earth Establishment and lower. The group that remained behind at the castle all got ready to fight. Emilia was using the same rapier she used back during the academy. But, she couldn't wait until her mother's is fixed.

"It seems like there's two for each one of us. Don't shy away from asking for help if you can't handle it, master Eric." Griffin teased Eric as both of them were quite the good friends. However, he still called him 'master' Eric. Both Ed and Eric had asked him to stop, but he persisted in his way of calling them.

"Maybe you should fight us before you make such claims!" One of their opponents rushed at them after he was annoyed by their words. He didn't make it far, as a body blocked his way.

"Oraaa!" A fist shined with blinding black light as it closed in on his solar plexus. The man couldn't react in time, so the punch did connect, causing the wind to be knocked out of his lungs. A second later, his body finally reacted to the punch as he spewed some blood and was sent flying.

"Ooof! These Gantlets are the best!" Ellie looked at the Gauntlets Ed had made her with heart-shaped eyes. She didn't get the chance to try them out before in Aaragon. But in here, she had all the opponents she could ask for. "You guys better stop talking before I take them all out!" Ellie shouted at her friends while rushing at the enemies. But, she failed to notice that those she talked to were thinking deeply about something.

'Why Ooof? Shouldn't you be happy?' All of them had the same thought as they looked at her happy figure. They shook their heads while rushing at the enemies to fight them.

Gobuta and Raikou knew that the reason Ed left them here was to protect this group of young people. Leonard and Uther were also included. They didn't intend to interrupt their fights unless a dangerous opponent showed up.

"Uncle, you can rest easy and look after the kids. I'm more than enough for this scrub." Arthur spoke to Uther who had come to support him in his fights. He didn't forget to provoke Edgar in the process.

"That's quite the claim you're making!" Edgar seemed triggered by his words and rushed at him in rage.

"It's not a claim." Arthur parried his sword and struck him with a fist. His first was enhanced with Nen and QI, so its speed and power were not to be underestimated.

However, before the punch could connect with Edgar, he released a QI from all over his body. "Hah!" His shout synchronized with the QI wave, knocking away Arthur in the process. Edgar rushed after him while he was being knocked back in the air.

"I'll finish you off quickly!" He claimed as he readied his sword to strike at Arthur.

Yet, before he could strike him, he lost the figure of Arthur. In fact, he had lost his vision altogether.

"What have you done?!" The man lost his composure along with his sight. He kept sending QI waves all around the place in an attempt to hit Arthur.

"A little trick. Even if I didn't use it, you wouldn't have gone far you know? That kind of QI wave, I used against my son when he was barely learning how to cultivate." Arthur remembered the first time he sparred against Ed and used a QI shout against him. There was no way that he would fall for a trick that he himself used.

"There you a-" As Edgar located Arthur with his hearing, he felt an impact on his side. Once again, he was sent flying towards the ground.

"You're such a mess just by losing your sight? I haven't even started paying you back for what you did to this country." Arthur spoke as he remained floating in the sky. Only one thing was different about, which is the fact that his eyes were closed.

As the two of them resumed their fight, parts of the castle started crumbling down. Many figures emerged out of it while flying. It was Eric and the others as they were fighting their opponents. Raikou was carrying Oliver on his back while the latter was shooting arrows to kill the weak opponents.

"Wahahahah! You can't do anything to us!" Leonard screamed as let out a huge wave of QI from his body. He was still stuck at Heavenly Establishment level 10, but his abilities were higher. More opponents had appeared compared to before. And yet, they still couldn't overwhelm this group. Especially since Uther was helping them.

"You're next!" Ellie spoke as she approached one of the men who seemed to be cowering from their group. As she approached him, a smile crept up on his face. It went unnoticed by everyone. Almost everyone. The man moved at an incredible speed and appeared behind Ellie. Ellie got the shivers and tried to turn around to intercept him. But, she knew it was too late. As the man was about to strike at her, a great sword interrupted him, almost claiming his hand in the process.

"You shouldn't rush every time, Ellie!" Gobuta had saved Ellie. He threw his great sword in order to stop the man. "Not everyone is as weak as they let out to be. Isn't that right, skinny man?" Each word that escaped Gobuta's mouth was filled with provocation. The man frowned as his attempt to kill Ellie had failed. Gobuta wouldn't have let anything happen to her, so he sent her to support the others. He became acquainted with her since she asked him for training alongside Becky.

"A mere monster such as you, dares to stand in my way?" The man looked at Gobuta is contempt. Of course, Gobuta wasn't bothered. He looked at the man and scoffed at him while catching his sword that started falling back.

"You don't have to rush; I'll take care of you and that man sneaking behind me as well." Gobuta's words shocked the man in front of him, as well as the one hiding in the darkness of the night behind him.

"Allow me to take care of him. He also played a part in taking me down." Uther approached Gobuta while asking him for a favor. He let out a QI wave towards the man who was hiding. Ripples of smoke appeared as the man showed his appearance.
