Episode 14
Edgar fell into the burning hot lava he was so beaten up, he didn't even have the strength to fight for his life. He just let himself go.
Beaten bruised and barely recognisable Edgar's body felt the temperature of the burning, hot steam.

Edgar just fell inside the lava his body burning and consumed by the lava, his body was numb so feeling pain was something he didn't react too, slowly being consumed by flames.

Luckily for Edgar's being consumed by the hot lava flames was painful and meant death for him, but on the bright side. He wasn't consumed at full speed it was slowly and steady as if this lava wanted to make him suffer and feel each and every burning pain.
The only thing that wasn't consumed yet was his head and right hand, still alive for mysterious reason looking at Arthur who was standing by the edge... Watching over in silence.
It wasn't even that long before Edgar's face got consumed by the fire, his head was the first to go.
[Buzz! Does The Character Accept These Conditions?]
[Buzz! Y/N.]
Edgar managed to peak what the system was telling him so just right before his head went under, he used his remaining hand to choose the answer.
And the answer he chose was Y which stood for Yes, that's when he went under.
Of course, Arthur was watching carefully and he did see Edgar do whatever he was doing, but to him and his eyes he didn't see what exactly was Edgar pressing he just thought that he was feeling some after burning effects. Because truthfully it's not like there's anyone who can survive that.
He turned around took the first step of walking away, but something was not as done as he'd hope. Someone or safe to say something was about to erupt, something that he'd never face before.
Suddenly in the moment and silence of victory the lava boiled.
Bubbling.
[Buzz! Character Guide System's Limited Power Activated.]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Something in the lava exploded, Arthur ignored that thinking that it's maybe the rising temperature causing this, but man was he so wrong.
Bang!
Something shot out of the lava, something was now standing behind Arthur, it's skin gurgling like it was boiling and popping up like his was popcorn.
What made Arthur be aware of this situation was the way this thing took its last breath, it would breathe and hot air came out of it's mouth and touched Arthur's neck.
Not sure what just burned him, he decides to look behind him and to his surprise it was none other than Edgar himself, who by the way was supposed to be dead.
Arthur stunned not even sure if he believes what he sees with his own eyes, "Impossible! You're supposed to be dead!!"
Edgar was facing down still breathing hot air that was visible with a spark of fire out of his mouth.
He was the Edgar that fell inside the lava but he had changed, something about him wasn't the same and it wasn't something so obviously like his burnt clothes, and nude walking presence.
Edgar was now a little bit tall like he just went through a growth spurt that heightened him by a few inches, his hair had grown too it wasn't that short hair he had that was well groomed, it was like he was having a bad day. As for his physical form... Wow.
It was like Edgar now had been hitting the gym for more than a decade he was ripped but not too ripped; he had six pack abs, muscles popping out of his hands and arms. To simplify it his body was gorgeous.
Arthur looks at what Edgar has become and he couldn't believe it himself again, the disturbing and ominous truth was for some strange unknown reason... Edgar was now actually a teenager in his early years.
"Banshee, are you seeing this?" Arthur in disbelief.
Banshee who was not standing far between Edgar and Arthur, did something so stupid.
Banshee running towards Edgar forming a fist, "Don't worry my Prince I'll take care of him!"
Attempting to attack Banshee didn't even come even an inch closer, but she and Arthur just saw half of her face in Edgar's hand just holding it.
Arthur just saw Banshee crumble and turn into dust before him, speechless and not sure what he just witnessed. Apart from his familiar he just witnessed turn into ash.
The crazy part about all of this is that Edgar still hadn't move where he was and he hadn't lift his head up, still facing down. Magma falling off him.
"What happened to you?" Arthur starting to get a little frightened.
Edgar just did something unexpectedly, he just pointed a finger on Arthur and though he was facing head down, Arthur couldn't shake this feeling that he was smiling.
Something in Arthur felt disrespected so out of emotions, he did exactly what Banshee did he went for an attack. But, luckily for him Edgar or whatever had possessed Edgar had other plans for him.
Yes, it did kill him at that very moment slicing his face half. But that wasn't enough for Edgar, after killing Arthur he waited a few seconds... Then he realised that he was now bored.
He was busy playing around tipping over the edge showing nothing but boredom and he threw Arthur and Banshee's heads over to the lava.
[Buzz! Limited Power Time Remaining 55:46 minutes.]
Edgar just kept playing and being childish after all this guy mysteriously just became a teenager in an instant, what the hell was in that lava lake? But, in honest truth it looked like Edgar was unconscious so something had taken over him, maybe the system but something definitely kept him alive.
Bored out of his mind after playing around for a few minutes and seconds, Edgar walked to where Arthur's lifeless body lied and he just stood over it. Trying to wake him up.
Smiling and enjoying the scene he is seeing, playing with his own hands... Edgar accidentally snapped his fingers and Arthur's split head grew back.
Stunned by his own unnatural power Edgar got so excited and waited for Arthur to get up.
Arthur got up not sure what had really happened, "What the hell happened to me?"
Edgar stepped back and watched him, studying him like he was hoping that Arthur would attack again. And he was right he did.
It wasn't like things were going to be different just like the first time Edgar just sliced Arthur's face killing him again, realizing that he is having so much fun Edgar must have killed and reawakened Arthur for more than twenty times. Actually toying with him.
Arthur actually caught up with what was happening to him each time Edgar reawakened him, he would feel different like his life force has disappeared or what.
"You imbecile! Do you even know who I am?!" Arthur now ready mad.
Meanwhile Edgar was just laughing silently like how a mine does, because that Edgar's transformation; his skin was pale, his body movement was fluid like, he was making sure that he doesn't speak one word he was mute or make he was like that naturally.
"You think this is a game?!!" Arthur didn't waste any time he just went for it.
Obviously, he didn't anticipate that Arthur would actually catch up with his tricks and mind games, so what Arthur did was give himself time to study Edgar who had a secret.
When Edgar attempted to slice Arthur's face Arthur just dodged and laid a punch that would send Edgar to the other side.
Edgar now crashed through against what seemed to be a volcano, instead of being dead or at least hurt. Edgar walked out dusted himself like it was nothing, smiled at Arthur who by the way was really starting to be confident in himself.
Edgar again did what he was doing before he faced down and called Arthur to come get him, Arthur didn't waste no time. Some kind of unknown strength, power and abilities of his just appeared out of nowhere.
A full on wage war began between these two individuals Edgar and Arthur hand in hand combat, exchanging blows that had a major impact not only in the dark world but also the mortal world.
Ursula who was still unconscious didn't hear anything Arthur was really standing his ground against Edgar who was really not even trying, just busy toying with him.
"Aaahhhh!!!!" Arthur screamed as he kept on blowing blows on Edgar who was dodging them in impeccable timing, every blow that Arthur would throw Edgar would see it coming then dodge it.
During all of this Edgar was not even serious one time he even yawned and used a single hand to block all the blows of Arthur who was really throwing them non-stop, with each block a coming blow would be faster and stronger than the first one.
Arthur wasn't having any luck that's up until.
