Emperor's Reckoning

Standing and hovering above the two siblings he didn't exude a gallantly might like Garudabut instead a mockery as he looked down and frowned upon what most people adore heaven. The display of prowess was enough to make him had the right to do so. He could probably shred the heavenly land themselves.

"What monster...."

"Are you sure he is from our humble Mortal world? Because surely he didn't come from heaven!"

The experts gulped their saliva at long last. They couldn't comprehend the mastery of mana that was needed for such a technique. Not to mention to cancel the aftereffect with one swing.

Yunesia was astonished once more with her purple lips trembling in excitement. The powerful man sure could contend with his wife, not only that. His prowess in magic still had not crashed any limit.

"Guha!" Felicia and her brother both puked out blood. Their divine garb had irreversible stains and their faces were not so glowing anymore. Bruises were present here and there while the crater they were on used to be a grand pool from the finest material on the market.

"You!" shouted Altre before he leaped straight up to the sky from his laying position.

Lyon twitched his eyebrows before blocking the incoming summersault kick with the base of his right foot whilst crossing his arms. The impact was loud and clear as Lyon's black hair fluttered. His smirk didn't fade as his golden arrogant eyes stood above the furious blonde man.

"You! You think you have what it takes to take on Altre!"

"Oi oi oi, your personality is shifting left and right, whatever happened to that poise stand of yours from before? Is this what True God all have to offer? Merely entry level of a True God and you think you can take on the mortal world?" smirked Lyon.

(Impossible) his eyes opened wide (I'm sure I have concealed it! He should have not been able to dete—).

"You think too much," a pair of Lyon's golden tails slapped Altre's face before sending him spinning around.

Altre's eyes locked open as his mouth blurted out blood from the heavy impact. He could have never believed that there was a time in his life that he would be slapped by a pair of tails.

"You must be joking..."

"That's like, physical and mental attack right there. Slapping a True God with a pair of tails."

The onlookers were astonished by the cheap move. Facing against such a foe none of them would dare to risk it over a short period of dopamine pulse.

"You have crossed the line!" shouted Felicia before she flared out her mana. The blonde woman was not playing games as she jolted to the sky in an instant. Catching everyone off guard she lashed out a powerful dense kick toward Lyon's abdomens.

"Hm?!" Lyon crossed his arms before the impact pushed him back a couple of meters. His forearms slightly twitched as the tingling feeling started to spread around his entire body. Were it not for his special armor, his bones would have snapped right then and there.

(So she is the real deal) thought Lyon as his eyes turned sharp before his lips puckered up a smile.

Felicia suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror as a presence immediately stood behind her.

"You auburn bitch!" she immediately lashed out her elbow backward.

However, Cecile merely leaned back before dodging it effectively with almost nil effort.

(Shit!) thought Felicia as she staggered from her elbow attack. Her sides were wide open but before Cecile could take advantage of it, Altre suddenly strike from behind.

Cecile took a glance at him before her jade eyes glow. The massive true dragon suddenly instilled fear inside Altre's eyes.

(T-True Dragon!) his attack was halted for a breath but that was just enough for her to hover to the side.

It was not wise fighting two enemies while you were in between. Especially not if they were stronger than you.

Lyon quickly hovered to the side of his wife. The four of them faced off once more. The other pair was battle-ready while the others had bruises and disheveled hair. His handsome and beautiful faces were no longer there. Nothing but a haggard in front of the other duo.

"You will pay for this! Don't you know who I am?!" shouted Altre.

"Heh, just because you spent your whole life cultivating, does not mean you are stronger! In fact, let me tell you a little secret," said Lyon.

"I have not touched the ground of Ascending God's realm yet," whispered Lyon softly.

"W-What?!" exclaimed both of them before Lyon and Cecile suddenly leaned forward with ominous grins on their faces.

"Enough!" A blast sent Cecile and Lyon away a couple of meters.

"Ho ho..." muttered Lyon as he noticed the shout came from Altre.

"Hamdal!" shouted Altre before a magnificent crescent moon blade appeared in his hand.

"Alore!" shouted Felicia as a slim sword flexible sword appeared in her hand.

"Heh, feast your eyes on these beauties mortal! For it will be your last! Hamdal, we might not split mountain today but it's good for warming up before the competition." shouted Altre.

"Alore, I hate her..." said Felicia as she furrowed her eyebrows and glaring at Cecile who smirked against her furious face.

"Not even a regalia level and you dare to say those words to us?" coined Cecile as she shook her head.

"R-Regalia?! Heh, shut your mouth mortal! You only know the word! Like you saw one!" condescended Felicia.

"Saw one? I had three, and not only weapons," said Cecile before with a swing of her hand she summoned Scarlett.

"T-Three?! Stop your empty boasting! That sword is not regalia!" pointed Felicia against that black sword that had a crimson hue.

"I'm not talking about this one," before Cecile casually swung her sword against her.

*Clank!

The metal clashed. Their forces collided into a stalemate but the look on their faces proved which one was winning.
