Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 223 - Hidden Connection?

Lyon twitched his eyes before he slowly opened them. His blurry vision slowly became focused as he saw the surrounding. The house was the same as ever, but the warm feeling was missing.

Slowly getting up from the floor, Lyon glanced down and watched his own two palms. He clenched then released it multiple times to gain the feeling that he was familiar with.

"You have awoken my grandson."

The voice came from the nearby bed. The true dragon lifted up his corporeal body before floating and nestled over Lyon's shoulder. His green scales were as divine as ever and he was grinning with his full set of menacing teeth revealed.

"Yup, I have awoken grandpa."

Lyon looked at the window before he furrowed his eyebrows. Noticing something was weird he walked up to the door and opened it. His eyes immediately opened wide with the sight that he couldn't imagine would happen.

"It's gone?"

The water of the lake had gone without a trace as if the lake was never there in the first place. Everything seemed surreal but it was right in front of his eyes.

Lyon decided to walk out a little before a gentle breeze greeted his face. His hair fluttered as he covered his eyes a little. "What's happening?"

"The lake was never naturally formed, it was a blessing from Undine," explained the true dragon.

Raising his eyebrows, Lyon asked, "So that means that the two of them are Undine?"

Grandpa Long nodded, "That is correct, Undine is a being with probably the highest affinity with the water element to the point they could breathe under one."

Lyon smiled wryly as he remembered how Felicia casually commanded the water with no effort. (Well that explains it).

"I guess they won't be calling this a lake anymore," chuckled Lyon.

He crossed his arm as he watched the horizon as if he could see the two females that left them for his own sake. Closing his eyes with a smile, his confident rose but no words came out from his mouth. Taking a deep breath, his body soon relaxed.

"I guess I need to hurry up and get to Mabia for three days had passed."

"Yes, I guess you should."

"Huh?" Lyon was surprised by the voice answering him. It was a woman's voice that couldn't be any more familiar.

Looking at the figure in front of him, he grinned, "Hello there teacher."

There was only one woman he would call a teacher. The very woman who had taught him the shattering palm art. The woman who saved his life from a certain accident. The woman, whom he owed greatly to.

"Let's go, I'm coming to Mabia too," said the woman as her golden hair fluttered from the gentle breeze.

(Ah, must be for the search of anti-mana) thought Lyon as he looked at the Golden Demoness. He furrowed his eyebrows as he noticed something was a miss.

Karina smirked as she said, "Yes, no need to look even further, I have broken through to the Divine Realm."

"What?!" exclaimed Lyon before being followed by his grandfather's laughter.

He knew all she got to do was absorb the anti-mana that she got from within, but to think that she could even comprehend the nature of the next realm in such a short amount of time. Not to mention that she broke through to the Divine Realm, not its halflings.

"I'll race you to the gate then, oh, Ryona is coming too, I mean she hid behind those trees from all this time," teased Karina before she departed.

"Uwaah, she became scary as she became stronger," said Ryona before coming out from one of the trees.

"Hubby!" leaped Ryona before Lyon immediately caught her like a princess.

With her hands over his neck, she looked at him, "You are really handsome this close."

"Hey Ryona, can I ask you something?" asked Lyon as he furrowed his eyebrows.

She gently put her hand on his cheek as she asked, "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes for a second before he gently looked at the woman in his arms. This beautiful oranged-hair woman was always clingy from the moment they met each other back in the labyrinth. Ever since then, she would always call him 'hubby'.

However, thinking it logically, it didn't make sense for someone he had never met before would suddenly develop such feelings in an instant as if she was under some kind of spell. Her strength was unbelievable and her cultivation level was much much higher than him. There was no reason at all for her to be so attached.

"Why are you so attached to me?" asked Lyon.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes as he asked the question but nonetheless the smile was always there for him to savor.

"I, I, I don't know," answered Ryona.

"I don't mean to let you down, I'm happy that you feel attached to me as I am too but I want to hear the reason."

Hearing his words the hint of sadness slowly faded away. She was worried that Lyon might not be interested in him anymore, however, that was not the case.

"I don't know how to explain it, but at that moment where we met. There was something building inside me that I couldn't explain, a burst of feelings I never had before. I too want to know the answer, but this feeling, I know that it's true."

At this point, the true dragon suddenly hummed.

"Grandpa you know something?" asked Lyon.

The true dragon answered, "Hmm, I wouldn't say I know about it since I'm not that well verse in fate. Maybe you might find the answer if you recall your past life memory or if we find the other eleven."

"Right, I still need to find the Blue World, Selena mentioned. Ah! I need to go to Mabia!" muttered Lyon.

"Let's go Ryona I will set up the spatial magic."

"Ehm, you need to go down."

"Tehee, Nope <3," said Ryona as she clung even tighter.

"Hehe, I don't mind either!" said Lyon as both of them embarked.
