Chapter 235: Edward Avalon The Sword Sect Master

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.

The respect the two of them shared and the face of Alexander that his family never got to see. At that moment, Helena and Asem felt jealousy towards Ed. Finally, Alexander\'s last request caused them all to tear up. The sleeping mother\'s eyes had tears spilling out as well, as she slowly opened them.

"What\'s going on?"

"They say Master Alexander returned, he didn\'t die!"

"That\'s not it, you idiot, there\'s a new sect master. Apparently, he\'s still a kid."

"Whatever, we were asked to come, so we\'re here. The black wolf from earlier scared me to death. He suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me not to go outside."

"Yeah, he appeared in front of me as well. Apparently, some more members of Poison sect appeared again."

The citizens of the city started to murmur as they gathered in front of the sect. There, the largest plaza that could hold the 4000 or so villagers existed. They were packed there, waiting for the show to start.

Then, as if answering their expectations, the eight Elders that met Ed started to descend one by one. Then, two more figures flew down from the sky as well. It was Asem and his mother, Barsine. All ten of them stood on top of a platform made out of wood. It was sloppy, but the presence of the ten of them overshadowed it completely.

"It\'s Lady Barsine!"

"Master Asem is healed as well!"

"They look so thinso weak"

The citizens had mixed emotions. Some were happy to see the family of Alexander, but others teared up after seeing in that weak state. Another figure appeared abruptly in front of the ten that were already there. It was Ed, but since only a few noticed him walking with the guard earlier that day, they didn\'t react.

Ed withdrew the sect master\'s insignia, which everyone recognized. They turned around looking at each other while muttering. Ed manipulated the insignia with his Telekinesis and hanged it in the air for everyone to see.

"My name is Edward Avalon," Ed\'s voice spread all over the plaza, not missing any ear. "I\'m the new sect master" he confirmed the doubts of some of the citizens while enlightening others. "You\'ve suffered, both because of me, and because of my absence" Ed\'s words were not understood by everyone, but those that understood it frowned as they glared at him.

"However, from now on, no one will dare to mess with our glorious sect. the group of babbling buffoons that barged in this morning are no more. Anyone else that dares to say something else about our sect will suffer from the same fate. I\'m the master of the sect now, and I can promise you that you will know no similar heartache that you suffered from this past couple of months. But first, we need to do something about your weakened bodies."

Ed pointed his hands a couple of times and made people look in those directions. His companions arrived from the distance, bringing with them the prey they had hunted.
