Emperor's Reckoning

The people inside Luderia closed their eyes as the blinding light from the spell activation flashed the entire place.

One young man took a peek after the flash dimmed down. "Huh?!" his eyes opened wide as he let down his arm that covered his vision.

"Nothing?" spoke the young man softly.

He was sure that Luderia was done for with that humongous spell up above him before. However, there was nothing, the sky was normal as always.

---------------------------------------

At the entrance gate, two guards were guarding it.

One of them had cold sweat as he said to his partner, "Phew, glad nothing happen, crap I got to take a leak."

Thus he proceeded to walk to the nearby river under the bridge. However, not even five steps before the entrance.

*thud

The guard hit something with his head as he was holding his crotch.

"Huh?" said the guard before he tried to touch the space in front of him. As the finger approached nearer, it finally made contact with something invisible to the naked eye. Feeling that there was something, he tried to touch it with his palm next.

"H-hey, partner, come here, check this out, there is something here that is blocking my way?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? There is nothing there," said his partner while he waved his hand.

*thud

There was an object falling to the ground before it crashes with a loud thud near the guard that was about to take a leak.

The guard squinted his eyes as he grabbed the object. "A dead bird?", said the guard as he realized the cause of death was vividly visible, a broken beak. It was crushed beyond saving as if the bird hit something at a high speed.

The guard looked up to the source of the sound as he noticed there was another bird of the same type heading west.

*thud

The guard opened wide as he saw how the bird suddenly crashed against nothing but air. It wasn't long before the bird fell to the ground with the same cause of death.

"Y-you're kidding right... we are isolated..." said the guard as he wet his pants.

---------------------------------------

The young man who cast the spell stood firmly while his hair fluttered, not with the wind but with his aura.

"No one will exit nor enter Luderia," said Lyon as his deep and sharp eyes gazed toward the palace region.

The princess was still in shock as she saw what the young man did. (D-d-divine spell?! A level ten divine spell?!). Not to mention Deo, even Mabia might not have such high tier spell.

Lyon picked up the being that had been sleeping this entire time before throwing him at the dumbfounded princess. "Take care of Fenrir for me, don't worry, if he wakes up, he would protect you, I think..."

"Huh?" before Princess Aelina could mutter another word, the figure was gone, not even an afterimage was left.

---------------------------------------

Two guards that were guarding the entrance to the palace furrowed their eyebrows as they saw an unusual youth coming right at them.

His compressed shirt reveals his shredded figure as veins in his forearms was vividly visible. His black-golden pattern sarong fluttered along with his long black hair. His steps were unwavering as the mountain as his gaze was locked to the palace.

"Stop where you are!" said both of the guards at the incoming youth.

The figure didn't pay any heed as he kept going.

"We will have to use force if you don't stop right now!" said one of them as their hands reached the hilt of their swords.

As Lyon was getting nearer and nearer, the pressure exuding from him increased as the guards couldn't help but having cold sweat. Their arms shook as they couldn't even pull out the sword from its sheath.

*tap*tap

Lyon walked passed them without any hesitation as the guards didn't even dare to glance back.

(S-such existence!) thought the guards as they gritted their teeth for not even capable of pulling their sword.

Lyon soon stood in front of a huge double door made of wood and a couple of black steel that run across horizontally.

*creak

The huge door opened as Lyon nonchalantly entered.

There was only one other figure inside the room Lyon was in. He wore a royalty clothing befitting that of a king. He was none other than the current ruler of Luderia.

The king was already standing when Lyon entered, he squinted his eyes to see that the figure was, in fact, a young man not older than his youngest daughter.

(Hmm? Only a peak soul realm cultivator? But that's weird, he didn't even flinch when I put pressure around him) thought the king as he tried to put more into it.

"Who are you, young man?" asked the king.

"Hmph! You should ask that before putting your pathetic aura against me," said Lyon as he crossed his arm. There was faint greenish mana that coiled around Lyon's figure as he stood.

"Hmm, then what business do you have with my kingdom?" asked the king as he let go of Lyon's arrogance act.

"Is Weiss your son?" asked Lyon.

"Yes, yes indeed, Weiss is my son. Do you have a matter with him?" answered the king calmly.

"Then can you bring him here and ask him where he kept my women? Also, tell him to wash his neck," said Lyon nonchalantly.

If people were to see this, they would think that Lyon had a death wish. Offending the ruler of Luderia meant offending the entire kingdom.

"Gh," the king grunted as he thought (What did Weiss do this time, someone is trying to kill him but from the looks of it, can he even fight with Weiss with that cultivation level?).

"You can't? That's fine, I will drag him myself then," said Lyon before walking toward a nearby hallway.

*swoosh

The king stood before him before saying, "I'm afraid, I can't let you do that, I am still a father."

He remembered that there were two more beings that could even make his messenger on the verge of dying. If Lyon could use them, then there was no hope of Weiss living. So his only choice was to step in.

"And I'm a man!" said Lyon as his eyes turned green like that of a true dragon.

*boom

"Guha!" The king was propelled like a rocket by a punch that hit his face before crashing toward a wall at the end of the hallway.

Lyon stood as his arms were covered with faint green scales. His majestic being was displayed as the greenish mana that surrounded him turned denser.. There was a faint image behind his figure that Kyoko could see if she was there, a true dragon baring its fangs.
