Emperor's Reckoning

The island finally crumbled completely as the sea swallowed its brethren chunks whole while it filled the undersea crater from the impact of the horrendous blow. Not a single living thing survived as not a single jade glow starry the sky. Nobody managed to escape the power of the palm that was infused with a True Dragon's will. No matter how thick their armor was, they had been reduced into nothingness as not even their ash was left of them.

Lyon looked down apathetically before turning around and took a glance at the pardon one. His whole body was trembling with fear as his lungs expanded and shrunk to their maximum capacity. His jaw was slacked and locked open as his eyes couldn't even blink once after seeing the city that was once was what known as a prestigious city, was nowhere to be seen.

"Surely you know that the fact you are breathing now does not necessarily mean that your role is over right?" smirked Lyon as he crossed his arm.

The man shrieked before Lyon's copy shook his entire being like a doll, "Oi, you what are you shrieking about, you're alive and well. I just need you to act on your role and get us to your headquarter."

His eyebrows immediately rose as he heard his request before he made a harsh gulp that could be heard by seven generations of his dead ancestor.

"R-R-R-Revered One, Revered One is not going to... d-d-destroy it aren't you?"

Lyon smirked without answering his question.

(He is definitely going to trash the whole place! He does not even seem tired even after destroying the whole island and damaging the entire world! By the higher gods above beyond the heaven, why did you create such a monster!) thought the pardoned one before Lyon said.

"You don't need to worry about that, I have a personal business I have to take care of against your group. However, if they dare to stand in my way, then so be it."

There was no doubt in his mind that the Revered One has the capabilities to destroy the headquarter if his wrath was incited. He suddenly found himself in a dire situation as two choices presented themselves with death as both penalties. If the Legion knew he was siding with the enemy he would be killed by the higher-ups but if he betrayed the Revered One in front of him, then he would be killed too, just with a different method. He lamented the fact that he didn't bail out when he was invited.

"However, you don't have to do it now, I have a more pressing matter to attend to. My wife is currently sleeping, but in the meantime, tell me where did you send them?" Lyon smirked before he approached him and put his hand on top of his shoulder before muttering, "this is one of those times where you need, to be honest..."

"Eeek!"

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

"Ouw! Ouw!" Jin shook his burning hand that churned from the palm to his elbow. The heat was excruciatingly painful even for his cultivation level. Despite being an emperor and perhaps the strongest person in the group, he acted a little bit childish even in public.

"Stop acting a little bit childish Jin, I know that wound is nothing compared to the wounds you have suffered before in your life," strictly said Priscila as her eyes couldn't hide the fury within. She tapped her fingers against her elbow as she looked at the sky waiting for something.

Lumina crossed her arm as she tapped her right foot against the ground while tightening up her upper lips.

"Why are they so slow!" complained Priscila before she walked back and forth.

"Calm down beautiful, they too need to prepare."

"Don't you beautiful me! Our daughter just went into that spatial storm tunnel! Even if she could make it out, do you think she could take on all of them?"

Priscila was obviously frantic. She couldn't believe that they had the audacity to attack them in the banquet that she herself had held, even when she had declared to not take any part of the inheritance battle. Her gaze was fused with killing intent and worry of a mother toward her only child.

"She might not, but she is not alone there," said Jin with a nod despite the hot steam coming out of his arm.

"Do you think those two could?! They are totally outnumbered!"

"I never said that they could win against them, I'm just saying that they could escape whenever they want to, besides if you are really that worry about her, you would have already broken your returning jade stone by now," muttered Jin.

"What are you talking about? Don't you know how much I wanted to use the stone! But knowing that Borton, he must have prepared something upon my or your arrival since the jade glow is totally visible!"

"Yes, well, worst case scenario Borton will put those two into hostages. After all, they seek to control me and my wrath," smirked Jin as he clenched his burnt hands and buried deep his finger against his palm before he muttered, "By the way, what did you keep inside the palace that made them even invade us? What entices them? What kind of treasure did you get from that detestable old bone."

Priscila slightly turned away from his gaze before answering, "No, it's not from grandfather, it's from my father."

Jin immediately furrowed his eyebrows before asking, "I wonder where he is at right now, how could someone kill that kind of person is still beyond me. Do you think he is still alive?"

Luke shook his head, "I doubt father is alive but, sadly I don't even remember how he looks since I was still very small when I lost him."

"Grandfather... I wonder what he looks like," muttered Sophia. She had not got a chance to know him. Even the painting of his face was gone and no traces left could be found even with Treas's power. It remained one of the mysteries that they couldn't solve.

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

"I see, at least they are out of harm, that's good," said Lyon before his figure returned to its normal state and turned around.

"There is no need to worry, everyone," muttered Lyon before he opened his arms and his eyes turned deadly sharp. His bathrobe started to fluttered widely as mana in the world he was in turned wild as a tsunami-like torrent ran through it.

The pardoned one looked at him with his mouth slightly opened, "Revered One... what are you.... you wouldn't... it took over one thousand of us to transfer all of them at the same time."

(Can he really do it?! He is going to summon all of them back?)

"Every magic left a trace of mana, thankfully not a day has gone by so the traces are as thick as fresh bricks," smirked Lyon before he opened both of his hands.

The pardoned one opened his eyes wide as his pupils constricted adjacently to the sum of mana that ran across Lyon's entire body. He would have taken a step back was it not for him being grabbed his copy. The surreal phenomena happening in front of his eyes only heightened, even more, when a complete sudden silence occurred as the mana stopped moving. (The absolute control of his meridians is maddening!) thought him before he could even hear Lyon taking a breath.

"Return to me," muttered Lyon before a tip of golden glow shimmered on his right index finger. He craved the immortal-level spell beautifully as it illuminated the world with a flash the moment he finished the stroke.

"I-Immortal magic!" exclaimed the pardoned one as the golden shimmer reflected in his eyes. (Not even fifteen minutes had gone by and he could pull that off?!).

"Immortal Magic: Erumah," Lyon smirked.

The chanted spell immediately formed out multiple magic brands of varying sizes but the same color of a rainbow.

"L-L... Maximum level spell of Immortal Magic! Space type too?!"

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

A bird screech could be heard before a huge flock of them could be seen coming toward Priscila and the others.

"They sure took their time!" said Priscila in contempt.

Kyoko's ears suddenly twitched at the same time as Lumina's nose did. Her red eye noticed a wild change in mana that came like a tsunami out of nowhere before centering its forces below their feet before Lumina's agitated face turned into a smile. She knew the scent very well.

"Looks like he had things under control," exclaimed Kyoko.

"Huh?" Priscila tilted her head before a glimmering glow appeared under his feet.

Luna smiled before she crossed her arms proudly as her purple hair slightly fluttered before her entire figure vanished without a trace.

"Wh-Where did she go?"

"Hubby of course!" shouted Ryona before she was next.

"Hmm," hummed Lumina before under the watchful eyes of Jin, disappeared along.

Jin's hair slightly flared up as he shooked his head, "Honestly..."

His view immediately changed in a blink of eyes as a familiar breeze grazed his face before he looked up against the young man that still wore the same bathrobe from before hovering in the air.

"What a monster," grinned Jin.
