Chapter 168: The Sixth Star (1/2)

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 nave. 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.
