Chapter 205: Lightning Strike

"Ha Ha Ha! I lived by the sword brat; I wouldn\'t lose to someone with meager experience!" Alexander spat a mouthful of blood while talking to Ed.

"I\'ll take that as a compliment then," said Ed as he walked towards the fallen down Alexander. Ed\'s arm was lopped off from the exchange, but Alexander was in a much worse state. A deep slash, spanning from his right shoulder to the left side of his waist, was bleeding profusely.

"I would have asked you to join our kingdom after I heal you, but it would be as if I spat on your pride, am I right?" Ed asked as he stood next to Alexander.

"Aye. Tis would be the best end for me! Still, I have left a whole sect waiting for my return. I do not wish for them to join me in my death. Here!" Alexander used his last remaining power to withdraw something from his spatial ring and threw it over to Ed.

It was a medal with two intersecting Katana. It was made from gold and shone as the sun\'s rays hit it.

"This is?"

"The Sword sect master\'s insignia. It is yours as is the sect. No one would dare fight you if you have it. Ah, most won\'t try Ho Ho Ho!" Ed could see that Alexander\'s life was fleeting very quickly. Dying by a wound was not the kind of ending Alexander would have wanted, and Ed knew that.

"Before you do it, I want to ask. How will you defeat Harald? He\'s a monster you know?"

"I left my most trusted companion to oversee the situation. I don\'t think he\'ll have much trouble with him." Ed humored Alexander and told him. "Any last words?"

"None!"

"I seeIt has been the most enjoyable fight ever. Thank you!" Ed said one last sentence as he swung his sword to kill Alexander. He wanted to die by a sword strike and Ed complied. On his face, a look of pride emerged and a smile formed on his now deceased face. Ed made sure to execute him in a clean beautiful way. He was planning on returning his body to his family, or anyone that knew him in the Sword sect.

"Ed walked over to his arm and picked it up. His Regeneration was doing its best to create a new one, but it was far too slow. So, Ed cut off the part that had grown due to Regeneration. He manipulated his arm with Telekinesis and stuck it on the wound. Then, he withdrew his best potion and spilled it over the wound and the arm. He also drank some of it.

"Let\'s hope this works..." Ed spoke as he activated his Hatsu on his healing ability.

Back at the battlefield of the supreme commanders, a huge battle was taking place. Harald was now fighting only three opponents. Arthur, Akira, and Uther. He managed to heavily injure the other kings enough so that they needed to retreat.

"You won\'t be able to beat me you know? Even if this whole army dies, I\'ll finish the mission by myself!" Harald declared to his opponents. Arthur and the other had sustained some injuries, but it wasn\'t anything serious.

Harald held his Glaive and used some QI on it. He swung it towards Akira and a shockwave resulted from it. Akira managed to dodge, but Harald was about to hit him, as he had read his escape route. Still, Akira was rather experienced and knew how to avoid such a situation. He stored the saber he was using and withdrew a long pitch black Katana. He used Wind magic to fling himself away while charging his weapon.

It was a similar technique to the Void Slash used by Hayato. Harald noticed the dangerous air his weapon was giving off, so he followed him. But, he wasn\'t fighting only one opponent. Arthur and Uther jumped into action as they delayed Harald.

Harald managed to throw off Uther, but not Arthur. The two of them got locked into close combat. Arthur did something that shocked Haralad. He closed his eyes. Much to Harald\'s surprise, he also lost his sight.

"What did you do?!" As expected, losing one\'s sight would ruffle his feathers.

This was Arthur\'s Hatsu, which he could use to steal the senses of his opponents. If he puts himself under the same conditions as his enemy, then the enemy would have no way of undoing the Hatsu. Arthur used En to fight even without needing his sight, while Harald\'s movement became sluggish.

"Void Blade!" Akira finished his technique and released it. A Black wave kept approaching Harald, and he could run away as he didn\'t sense it in time. Still, he could roughly locate the position of the slash, and he charged his left hand with QI. After charging it long enough, he struck the slash with his bare hand. He managed to dissipate the slash, but he sustained some injuries to his arm. He seemed to be furious, as he started attacking anyone his senses could catch. Harald was like a raging bull, decimating anyone he could touch, and his QI didn\'t seem like it would end anytime soon. Arthur undid his Hatsu so he could fight better, especially after Uther had gotten deeply injured. Now, only Arthur and Akira were holding off Harald.

"You will keep dropping like flies!" He said as he swung his Glaive. A crack appeared on the ground following the trail of the slash and continued on for hundreds of meters.

Akira and Arthur kept sustaining more and more injuries while Harald was only getting light ones.

"DIE!" He shouted as he swung his Glaive towards Akira. But, for some reason, his whole body stopped. He looked shocked, and as inspected his body, he noticed dozens of shadowy hands surrounding and holding his limbs.

From the shadows, a black wolf appeared as he made eye contact with Harald.

"Something like this!" Harald tried to shake off the hands but to no avail. In front of him, Raikou\'s body started transforming into lightning. It wasn\'t his Lightning Clad, but it was his Hatsu, Elemental Body. By using his Hatsu, he is able to transform each cell of his body into an element he can use. Now, he chose to use Lightning.

Harald struggled with the shadows, but he couldn\'t tear them. Raikou\'s cultivation was now at Immortal Establishment level 4, as Ed had leveled up to level 1 after killing Alexander. But he was more than enough of a match to an injured Harald.

"Grrr!" Raikou growled as his whole body finished transforming. Black clouds started appearing in the sky above him, and his lightning body crackled. In one move, he was next to Harald\'s bound body. He looked at Arthur and Akira, telling them to retreat with his eyes. They did so and Raikou started his attack.

People all over the battlefield looked towards the looming black cloud.

One lightning bolt.

Two lightning bolts

Hundreds of lightning bolts started striking the same area.

Raikou howled at the sky as his Lightning Body connected with the lightning striking from the sky. Harald next to him was screaming at the top of his lungs as the pain from the lightning was unbearable.

"Roaar!" Raikou roared as one last gigantic lightning blast hit the place. Then, he discharged the entire amount of lightning that he charged in an instant. A flash of light started going through the surrounding hundred or so kilometers, and a second after, a deafening explosion sounded. The wave of light didn\'t end, and neither did the explosion sound.

Finally, the lightning strike receded and was followed by a thundering sound.

Raikou returned to his normal body as he had exhausted his QI. Next, to him, Harald\'s body was letting out smoke, but he wasn\'t dead yet. He tried to move, as the binding shadow hands were no more. But, a figure appeared behind him.

"You took too long to finish them off. Next time, don\'t play around." It was Ed who returned after finishing off his power-up. His hand was re-attached. He used Shusui and did a simple swing that turned Harald\'s body into cosmic dust.

"Good work everyone! The war is won," He said as he looked at the last enemy soldiers being murdered.
