Emperor's Reckoning

"No... no.. no..!"

Lumina couldn't calm herself down anymore. The thought of losing him brought her down to her knees. Her fingers trembled before she spread her gorgeous silver wing and illuminate the moonshine from above.

"Calm down."

Lumina opened her eyes wide as her pupils shrunken. The calm voice came from the bloodline that was of a higher grade than her own. However, there was not a hint of ruling in the voice, rather, a comfort.

Shen decided to reveal himself once more, but only she could see him. The True Dragon in almost all of his Magnifique coiled around and perched on her shoulder with a grin and waving whiskers.

"He is right."

"Eh?"

A little monkey stood with his arms crossed on top of her head. He also grinned as he said, "He will come back. If no doors were available for him, he would make one. He is that type of person. However, for some reason."

The veins inside those little arms of Sun were bulging with excitement before he picked up a gourd on his waist and drank it without hesitation.

"My heart couldn't help but race!"

Sun looked at the horizon beyond with a grin of a proud grandfather. (You're doing it, you are doing it! Grandson!).

"Hmm?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

The onlookers were looking at each other with confused looks. They didn't know what just happened but they felt a soft gale in the change of direction from the wind. Something imminent was there, something grand but they couldn't see it. Their souls trembled at something that they couldn't even hear.

Looking at their friend's and their kin's expressions found no direct answer. They instinctively glance at the strongest of them all. Standing with their eyebrows creased, Ayumu and Madoku also felt the intensity of something they couldn't explain.

"What is it..."

"I... I don't know... if only my older sister is here..."

They both had worried faces as they looked at each other wanting answers.

"Fusya! Fusya fusya fusya!"

The bright giant salamander suddenly stood up with its arms crossed.

"Hoho... you seemed excited..." the old man chuckled but Tuey didn't comment as she was slightly worried about Lyon. Her tail was wagging as she looked at the horizon. The source of the uneasiness feeling came from.

Meanwhile in North City.

"How odd... something is happening but I cannot fathom what. I guess I've been living in the mountain for too long hahaha!"

Tusak's master rubbed his long beard as he looked at the horizon beyond where the ashen bell had stood. His student was still healing from his broken ribs but he too looked in the direction where he was looking. The curious duo brought the other's attention as well before they too followed suit.

The South City.

The onlookers were waiting for the answer from the lady with purple lips. Yunesia had won the throne, but it seemed like an additional event was about to happen. They all could feel it, anyone with a cultivation could. Yunesia was looking at the horizon with her lips puckering up a smile. Even she, the one called Saint Magician, couldn't fathom what's happening. The genius was also waiting for the answer.

"Curious, curious..."

"AUUUUUUUUU!"

The East City was frozen as the people looked at the same horizon. The onlookers were stumped by the uneasiness and the sudden change of wind. Fenrir was already calling out his master's name without delay under the various gaze that they performed against the beyond.

"What is it now?!" Kaiju gritted his teeth.

Luna smirked as she and the other group smiled in unison. Fei with her eyes gleaming from her tears was looking at the horizon where Sylviana had disappeared to.

"Heh... looks like, someone pissed him off."

Sophia didn't even ask before the Empress gave her the answer. (Lyon... he did this?), at this moment she couldn't fathom the extend of his capabilities anymore. The man was myth itself.

A shockwave was heard before the sea rampaged its way in a chaotic manner. The Empress smiled with her hands behind her back as she watched nature revolting amidst the panic of everyone else.

"Release."

The word coming out of the youth immediately repelled the huge shadow to its disbelief. The shadow coiling Sylviana's feet immediately fell back according to his wishes. The youth pulled Sylviana to his chest before he landed a kiss on her forehead. He laid her to rest on top of fresh grass with a smile before turning around and faced the giant of a shadow that even the sun didn't want to share its shimmer too.

"What?! Mantra?! You?! Ah!"

The youth permeated out a golden light from his figure. The four tails behind him gradually turned golden as the shadow that covering its real body was pushed backward, forcibly ripping it apart from the host. Like coming out of glue, the rotten flesh fell from the giant shadow before falling headfirst.

The youth leaped forward without hesitation before catching the rotten flesh whose eyes were closed. The rotten smell didn't bother him as he landed with both feet. He looked at the face that was beyond time and body close to becoming ashes.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows as he noticed the slight breathing the rotten flesh had. He looked at how his chest slightly expanding from the breath of his nostrils. Though most of his hair had gone and his eyes might not open to see the light of day once more, Lyon smiled before laying him to rest.

"You have used the body of mortals to sustain your being..."

Lyon stepped forward as his entire figure glimmered with golden light. The long black pants shone brightly before they transformed into legging armor. The sound of waving banners was heard as he walked forward. His height was no longer halved as he crossed his arms on the edge of the cliff. Facing the giant shadow that was the darkness itself.

"WHAT ARE YOU?!"

The shadow screamed before it slammed one of its tentacle-like shadows directly at the youth who was brimming with radiant light.

"Me? Heh,"

Lyon didn't even lift up his finger before the tentacle was slapped to non-existence by one of his golden tails.

"What?!"

Under the shadow disbelieving wrath of confusion Lyon suddenly float and defied the restriction of the plane.

"Impossible! This plane is under my rule! How could you ever..."

"Hmph! The plane might be under yours, but not me."

Lyon's golden pupils shrunken vertically before he charged the surrounding mana in his left arm. Even though one of his arms was still healing, it was enough for him to smirk against his unknown opponent. The veins inside started to bulge even before he clenched his left hand. The plane trembled as even the sky had shaken from the huge torrent of mana that was coiling around his arm.

"What are you doing?! Stop! STOP!"

The shadow frantically attacked him to hinder his concentration for gathering the massive amount of mana that threatened its existence, no, the entire plane existence. Something dreadful that even the old thing couldn't even imagine was about to erupt if it let the youth do whatever he wanted.

*PAK!

Lyon's tail slapped the incoming tentacle away before the latter started to come in hundreds, yet the smirk on his face didn't waver one bit as the tails did their job as extra limbs.

"Is it me, or this is like a Deja Vu? Want me to let my sword absorbs you again?" said Lyon leisurely. He had full control of his breath the whole time even when the shadow could attack him in any direction.

"Don't get cocky!"

The shadow started to point its tentacle against the unconscious woman laying on the grass. Lyon raised his eyebrows before he suddenly winked away and vanished from his spot. He kicked one of the tentacles away before clicking his tongue.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, do you think that would work? Please, why don't you just stay there and let me release this trembling fist of mine? After all, you wanted to get out of this place right?"

"You!"

*PAK!

"Uh, uh, uh, not so fast there," said Lyon as he shook his head. The shadow was trying to retrieve the rotten flesh that's life was hanging on a thin string before Lyon slapped it away.

"No... no... noo!"

"Too late! Repent yourself in hell!"

Lyon's pupils were shrunken before he clenched his trembling left hand that was about to burst. His veins popped as he grinned like his grandfather.

"Devil Ape Art: Heaven'se Fury!"

One of the banners behind his backlit up as a shadow of thousands of fists appeared alongside his left punch.

*Booom!

The punch instantly broke the very firmament of reality before the sky cracked like glass. The powerful density of the plane itself had been broken before the entirety of it was brought to the mortal world under the choking looks of the onlookers.

Before the people could utter the words of awe and the question of what or how. A shout reverberated the entire Blue Continent.

"KAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIJJJJJJUUUUUUU!!"

Kaiju's Loh pupils immediately shrieked as he heard the familiar voice.
