The moment Edge spoke those words every single person present couldn't believe their ears. Especially those that knew him from long ago, Edge wasn't someone who would say things like that, was he?
While everyone was stunned into silence by Edge's declaration Tsukiyomi noticed the smile on his face. That vicious smile that seems to be free from all shackles of feelings, and is only in it for the fight. That was the same smile of that legendary figure Leonard Tranor. It was at that moment Tsukiyomi remembered something Leonard said.
”So you know that much about me? On the other hand, the guy who should know more about me doesn't know anything at all.”
'What is Leonard's connection with Edge, is Edge perhaps a descendant of Leonard? No, it feels like it something deeper than that.' Tsukiyomi also remembered that within Edge's soul there was something deeper in there that she couldn't reach. Tsukiyomi could feel that the pieces to the puzzle were lining up but she still couldn't grasp where the fit with each other.
While Tsukiyomi was thinking, Edge suddenly moved. Tsukiyomi and everyone else was surprised to see Edge suddenly charging towards the enemy lines without saying anything. He used [Air Walk] and was happily charged to the front.
”Hahaha, as expected of my master, such courage!” Tanith turned into her Dragon form and charged alongside Edge.
”Kukuku, I don't know what happened to you but if this your decision then I shall follow. You guys that aren't proficient in [Air Walk] should probably stay behind and fire some longe range spells.” After speaking to Leto and the others, Tsukiyomi followed Edge and Tanith.
...
Edge who was dashing in the air towards the enemy forces was feeling excited. His physical strength and his mana seem to be growing stronger and stronger the moment he stopped worrying. The things that weighed him down were no longer there. He felt an extreme clarity like never before.
This power surging within him that he could never understand, even before his reincarnation he finally accepted it. In his past life, because of various restraints such as the feeling of vengeance, his mind was clouded and he wasn't able to fully grasp this power.
Now that he no longer feared the unknown power and accepted it as his own, it surged forth harmoniously within his body. His mind that was weighed down by his responsibilities was now free. He felt that he just needed to do what he thinks is right and if he fails so be it.
'Now I just want to let loose and finally go all out!' Deep inside, Edge already knew that he was a very selfish person, but he deluded himself into thinking that he wasn't. Now that he freed himself from that delusion, he only wanted to fight. Deep within his very soul, a passion for battle was burning ever so brightly.
He finally understood that back then, in his past life, revenge was nothing more than an excuse, he just wanted to fight. He wanted to battle and battle until he could no longer battle. This was his true personality, his regrets at the end of his past life, were simply him deluding himself, unable to accept what he truly was.
