Chapter 235: Edward Avalon The Sword Sect Master (1/2)

Ed, Alexander's son and daughter, the twins. All of them stopped and looked at Merry with eyes that almost popped out of their socket.

'Come to think of it, I never taught her how to break such news to othersAgain, it's my fault' Ed thought to himself as he hung his head down in shame.

”What do you mean? Am I going to lose my mother, just as I lost my father?” Helena's hand started to shake as they approached her face to cover it. She fought hard against the tears, yet she couldn't stop them. Alexander's son, still confused, stood there dumbfounded. An angel in front of him announced that his mother would never wake up. He couldn't make or the tails of the situation.

”Merry, why will she never wake up?” Ed decided to ask Merry about the reason for her words, in order to assess the situation.

”You see, I looked through her mind. It's not that she can't wake up, but more like she doesn't want to wake up. The loss of her husband and the fear of losing her son caused her to willingly enter a coma. Unless she comes to terms with what happened, she will never wake up.”

Merry's explanation caused some hope to spark in the hearts of Helena and her brother. It was then that Helena noticed her weakened brother standing in front of her, causing her tears to spill out again.

”You big dummy”

”Sorry for worrying you. Sir Edward, I hope that you can help out mother.” Helena's brother walked a few steps away from Ed, limping on one of his legs, and bowed towards him. His request was not simple, yet he asked so sincerely that no one could have denied it.

”I was planning to do that. By the way, I didn't manage to catch your name.”

”Asem, son of Alexander,” Asem stated, seemingly proud of his name and origin.

”I see. Then, I need both of you and Helena to stand by Merry,” Ed stated as he walked next to Merry as well. ”Merry, can you transmit the thoughts of the two of them? I'm certain that is she knows her children are safe, she might get better.”

”Hmm, I've never tried something like that before, but I guess it's doable!” Merry fluttered her wings, causing two feathers to emerge out of them. The feathers were controlled by her Nen, and they flew over to the foreheads of Helena and Asem.

”I'd like you to be quiet since I need to concentrate,” Merry said as she put one finger on the forehead of the sleeping mother.

Ed activated his Gyo, and he could see two threads of light carrying the thoughts of Helena and Asem. Merry seemed to be successful in transmitting these thoughts, as everyone could notice the face that was like a statue, move a little.

”It's not enough. She needs closure; these two are not enough” Merry states as she looked towards Ed, telling him with her eyes that he needed to step in.

”I seeThen connect me to everyone here.”

”Everyone? You sure? You really sure?” Merry made sure to ask Ed twice

”Yes, I'm sure.”

”Well, here goes nothing.” Merry made three more feathers emerge, as they connected with the foreheads of Ed and the twins.

Ed started to think about his fight with Alexander. As the most enjoyable fight of his life, he could remember the scenes vividly. From his skirmish with Alexander before taking care of the other three commanders, to the short-lived finale. The two men standing in front of each other as they delivered their strongest attacks caused the hearts of those that saw it to beat hard.
