Chapter 162: Ice Witch

"Now, Garu. Which one will you fight ?" Hayato asked Garu as there were two enemies in front of them. It was a man and a woman. The man looked like he was in the early thirties and had a small plump stomach and was carrying a greatsword on his back. The woman looked to be in her late twenties. She had short hair down to her shoulders but had long bangs almost covering her eyes. She was carrying two short swords. The pair could be mistaken for a husband and wife on the streets.

"You don't need to fight," Garu answered him while looking at his Glaive. It was testing time, and there were two subjects, of course, he wasn't going to let this chance slip by him. In an instant, he appeared in front of the woman sending her flying by a slash. Before the man could react, Garu had already created a gigantic fireball at the end of the Glaive. The man was hit by it at point blank range. Garu sent a flying slash towards the woman who was getting up, causing her to be sent flying even further.

The man next to him used his QI to blow away the fire and was greeted by a blade to the face. However, he managed to block it by quickly drawing his great sword.

"Hah!" He tried to pull back his sword in order to slash at Garu, but couldn't. It was only then that he noticed his sword being frozen and stuck to the blade of Garu's Glaive. He felt an immense force descending upon him. Little by little, it overwhelmed him, and suddenly Garu undid the ice. The man's sword broke and he was slashed from his face all the way down to his stomach. The only reason he wasn't killed was that the woman managed to react fast enough. She approached the man and pulled him back, helping him avoid certain death.

This went on for a while, with both of them doing their best just blocking Garu. That is until they both suddenly stopped. Garu stopped as well and started walking back towards Hayato. Hayato looked at him with a bit of wariness. The two behind him decapitated each other and fell to the ground.

"As expected, master understands our needs," Garu spoke while looking at his Glaive. It suited his tastes greatly. "Ah, the spatial rings," Garu remembered something and went back to the now bloody corpses. He took two spatial rings, and also two fur strands that were stuck to their napes.

This was Garu's Hatsu 'Fur Control'. He combined Conjuration to materialize the fur strands, and Manipulation to control them. Once the fur strands hit someone, they would be under Garu's control. He could control those under his level as much as he wants. But can only control three people surpassing his level. The reason the man and woman killed each other was that they were being controlled by Garu.

'In the end, I didn't get to do anything.' Hayato thought while looking amused.

Back on Goburou's side, the scarred man was fighting for his dear life. He was fighting three opponents at once. Goburou used his Hatsu to create two blood clones of himself. This was the maximum amount he could create with his Hatsu which is called 'Bloody Drive'. But, it was more than enough. The scarred man couldn't keep up with Goburou's speed, and currently, he was full of injuries. Unfortunately, he could keep up for a long time, and a blood rd flying slash destroyed his head killing him. "Spatial ring" Goburou did the same thing as Garu and took the man's ring. They all noticed when Ed did it when he killed those people the other day. So, they thought it would be something important.

"I can control Gravity however I want! I can reduce it for myself and increase for you; you won't be able to keep up with me." The flashy man explained his power for some reason while looking at Alicia and Merry. "With decreased Gravity, I can fly so easily!" He said as he flew in the sky.

"You're a Heavenly Establishment; you should fly without needing to do it." When Merry pointed it out, the man quietly came back to the ground.

"Merry, please let me fight him," Alicia asked her. It was her chance to get some training as she was stuck in bed for a while now.

"Okay!" Merry didn't deny her request and hung around to watch the spectacle.

Since Alicia and the man had the same cultivation, they were almost equal. The man used his Gravity magic, but Alicia used her Light magic to buff herself and keep up with him. The fight looked like it was going in Alicia's favor. She was the one injuring him while dodging most of his attacks. But at one point, she felt a severe pain in her abdomen and was forced to stop.

The man didn't waste the opening and attacked her head. He was surprised to see a feather block his sword.

"You're still injured?" Merry flew towards Alicia and asked her. Alicia was clutching her stomach as the pain was hard to endure.

"It's okay, I can fight," Alicia told her.

"No, you shouldn't. Healing yourself is important." The two of them kept going on and on. Until, the man attacked once more, only to be stopped by a feather again. His eyes couldn't' believe what they were seeing.

"Hmph! You won't be able to move under ten times Gravity!" The man increased the gravity output in an attempt to hurt Merry.

"Hmm? That's all?" Merry looked amused as she was used to many times more gravity.

"You look like you need to be punished." Merry looked at the man and released a wave of killing intent. She used Nen to amplify its effect, causing the man to run away in fear.

"You DEVIL!" He shouted while running away. Several feathers stabbed into his body as if they were a knife cutting through butter.

"That's rude, I'm an Angel you know?" Merry spoke to herself while taking the man's Spatial ring.

Back in the castle, Ed was moving in towards a certain figure.

"You bastard! Why can you use it too?" Lilliana spoke while blood dripped from all over her body. Her voice was shaking and cracking. She was close to dying. She was talking about Space magic.

"If you can use it, I can't?" Ed spoke while looking at her. She was nailed to the wall with several knives penetrating her in different body parts. Ed slashed at her and cut her head off. On the ground, many broken weapons, or melted ones, were laying there.

"Spatial ring, spatial ring," Ed spoke to himself while searching the body of Lilliana. After finding what he wanted, he went to the basement.

"Who are y-" Before the guards could speak, they were knocked unconscious by Ed's Haki. He approached a cell and looked inside. The figure was inside the call looked at the one visiting her in her last hours, and was surprised by the face peeking at her.

"Long time no see 'Ice Witch'."
