Ed was jumping above buildings while checking his Map . There was a green dot below the castle but was guarded by many red dots . Obviously, it was Emilia . Ed was heading towards the castle while studying its structure . He didn't want to be inside and have to ask a maid about the way to the basement . It would be too embarrassing . A couple of figures rushing towards him brought his attention outside of the Map . It was four of the five stars who were going to check the situation at the gates .

"Stop! And Look at me!" One of the figures shouted at Ed . The rest continued their way as if certain that Ed wouldn't get away . The man who stopped Ed was pointing at him with his left hand, while his right was on his forehead . It felt like he was trying to strike a pose but had a stroke midway . Ed's eyebrows kept twitching while looking at him .

"Now tell me! Why are you here?!" The man kept changing poses every time, making Ed angrier and angrier . "Wooah!" Suddenly, the man looked like he slipped on the snow . But, everyone gave up on that thought as something pulled his leg and flung him to the side . It was Ed's Telekinesis . The other three stars had to stop and look due to their friend shouting . They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw him being thrown away like some rag . What happened next shocked them even more . Ed's leg muscles tightened and he jumped over a hundred meters per jump . He wasn't flying, only jumping . He did this in order to have more time to study the castle interior . He also wanted to save the time left on his dimension ability in case of an emergency .

The four stars wanted to chase after him, but the explosions took priority . They couldn't help but let him head to the castle . Their leader was also there, so they believed Ed wouldn't make it far . They forgot that they believed their flashy friend would stop him . And then they were surprised .

Ed quickly reached the castle and infiltrated inside . He noticed that people who were near the gates weren't allowed to enter the castle . He was also surprised to see that everyone inside the castle was an enemy . It was filled with red dots . 'Norris must have replaced everyone with Blood sect members' . Ed thought and continued heading towards the way of the castle's basement .

"So, your goal is the Ice Witch . " A voice sounded above Ed . He couldn't see anyone above him, but the Map told him someone was there . Suddenly, the ceiling blew apart and a woman emerged .



"What do you want her for?" she asked Ed while he looked at her dazed .

"Did you destroy the ceiling because you thought it would look cool?" Ed's question seemed to hit bullseye seeing that she froze upon hearing it .

"What do you want her for?" she asked Ed again, pretending nothing happened .

The woman had a long silver hair while her skin was tanned . Her eyes were amber colored, a very rare type of eyes . She was taller than Ed who was almost 1 . 80 meters . She carried a club filled with spikes, which was pointed at Ed right now .

"Who are you, by the way?" She asked for Ed's identity .

"You should introduce yourself before asking for someone's identity . It's common sense . " Ed answered her .



"Eh? Ah! Excuse me my name Lilliana- Why are you walking away?!" Lilliana couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Ed leaving her there, speaking to herself .

"You see I'm kind of in a hurry, we'll continue this conversation later . " As Ed was speaking, Lilliana appeared in front of him . As if she teleported .

"Tsk, we played for long enough . You won't be going anywhere . " She released her aura right as some guards were coming their way . Once they felt it, they returned to their original posts . They knew better than to interrupt one of the five stars while they were fighting .

'Space magic?' Ed found that her sudden appearance was the same as his short range teleport's effect .

"Prepare yourself!" She rushed at Ed swinging her club .

"Isn't it bad if we fight here?" Ed spoke as he dodged to the side . It was already too late for her to retract her weapon, so she ended up breaking the floor .

"See . " Ed looked at her while shaking his head .

"You bastard!" She rushed at again, only this time much faster .

"Don't blame me for what you did . " Ed had no choice but to withdraw his weapon . In a couple of exchanges, he could tell one thing . She was stronger than the noble he killed before . So as not to waste a long time, Ed turned a little serious .

He started using both Muramasa and Ame-No-Murakumo . It was time for their test run .

"By the way, is it your friends causing a ruckus near the gates? My friends will kill them soon, but not sooner than when I kill you!" She said, increasing the speed of her attacks .

"If they're only at your level, then I don't need to worry . " Ed slashed with Ame-No-Murakumo . The black saw marks shined and Lilliana's club split into many pieces . She couldn't believe what happened but quickly retrieved a new weapon . This time it was a mace, also filled with spikes .

"Stop and look at me!" Once again, the one who stopped Ed earlier was stopping someone . It was Merry and Alicia who were playing around with the guards' senses .

"What are you, an idiot?" Merry spoke her mind when she looked at his pose . The man couldn't believe her, so he retaliated .

"How can you call me an idiot! I'm beautiful . "

'What does beauty have to do with intellect...' Alicia couldn't help but think this way . Her face was looking weird due to the man's idiocy affecting her .

"Really? I think Ed and Hayato are better looking . " Merry's answer shocked him and made him angry . In two other areas, a similar situation was happening, although not as near as weird as this one .

"Agu-, no WarGreymon . I'll take care of this, you continue the destruction . " Goburou, who sounded like a man in his mid-twenties told WarGreymon . In front of him was one of the five stars . A middle-aged man with a slash across his eye .

Hayato and Garu also had the remaining two members stand in front of them . Five battles started in five different places .
