Ed heard the la of Arthur's saber His eyes burned and filled with tears, and his legs darted forward to his father's side; his hand looking through his Inventory for a Healing card Yet, halfway through, he felt a major force collide with the side of his face His eyes scrambled in their sockets while his brain bounced inside the skull Next thing he knew, Ed was lying on the ground, dirt, and blood covering his face he stood up slowly and gazed at Johan, who had struck him from behind

He as well had a face full of tears and laive him the chance to save his father He knew that no ot, he would never reach his father in tiinal plan, and shouted, with all the strength his lungs could give, ”MERRY, SUIKA!”

His two healing experts immediately left their respective missions and darted to Ed's side Suika was already on her way alongside Eures of Arthur of Dawlish Her wings flapped harder and faster as she glealow

Even Erykytos, who at the faraway figure of his bloody son Raikou and Sieg both stood still, unwilling to make a move while Erykytos didn't

Ed looked at the two of theed them, ”Please, save him!”

It was the first time anyone had seen Ed make such a face They couldn't believe it They felt their hearts burn as they saw their h such torment

Ed switched his attention back to Johan; the two of thes they harbored inside their hearts burned stronger and brighter They charged at each other and exchanged blows, stronger than ever Their collisions caused an explosion, which pushed rock and air away and twisted the space around them itself

Johan's eyes shone, as he pulled a second sword froe was colored differently One was red, while the other was deep blue The red side burned in crimson flames, hotter than a thousand suns, while the blue side crackled with lightning

He couldn't keep going on in such a way, so he contacted his system 'Use Berserk once more!'

The system wanted to remind Ed that his body wouldn't handle the stress, but it knew that words were useless at the moment Either he uses the skill, or he dies

Ed's aura exploded as Berserk broke his li from the initial Immortal Establishment level 7 all the way to level 10 He now had the same cultivation level as Johan

Johan was stunned as he could feel the sudden inexplicable change in Ed's aura He failed to react in ti him in the face Johan was bloay, further than Ed's earlier flight, and collided with a sive chase immediately, but intense pain filled his body's every cell He felt some of his bones break under the pressure of his aura, but his Ki kept his body whole He grits his teeth and ju to notice the system's notice which sounded, 'Acquired Pain Resistance level 1'

Since Ed was late to folloith his attack, Johan had already gotten up A deep gash crossed his face and randfather, Erykytos

The two locked swords, and now that their level was equal, the result was evenThe whole world seeround trembled under their pressure, and the skies shook in fear of their wrath Ed's veins were punctured in dozens of places, causing hieneration worked hard, but it was catching up to the number of injuries he sustained
