Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 300 - Summoning Red Stone

"How dare you!" shouted the man against Yoji.

He was wearing a cloak that Lyon was quite familiar with in the past. A wizard type of cloak that belonged to an alchemist, especially a group called Alchemy Union. He never thought he would see one here and obviously not at this moment.

"How dare I what?" asked Yoji back.

The heavy pressure that was exuded from the pair of glaring eyes was clashing. No one was backing down from their stance before Yoji chose to walk forward.

"How dare you kill my woman! You incompetent shit of a human!" shouted the man.

Yoji furrowed his eyebrows before a gale was created and hit the man in his face. The latter's hair was fluttering along with the cloak against the wind. (S-such power! Who is he?!) thought the man.

"I see, so you are the one that Ghuaisha had betrayed me for," sneered Yoji.

"What?! So that means you are—"

"GHhGHh!"

Yoji grabbed the first prince by the neck like a chicken before he faced the man with the alchemist cloak. "That's right, all of your questions have been answered except for why I could regain my strength."

The man opened his eyes wide. There was no doubt about it, the man that killed Ghuaisha was Yoji, the Yoji. The man who was supposed to be closer to ash by now. 

"Impossible... Impossible!! How could you turn back time! How could you turn into a youth?!"

"Your mastery in parasite or poison or whatever they called, is nothing compared to His Majesty," answered Yoji.

'What?! Wh-Who is this majesty?! I'm unparalleled in the way of poison!" said the man in a tone of anger before he heard a chuckle. He turned around with raised eyebrows before he saw the young man that hindered his movement by a shout. Upon closer look, the young man was even younger than Yoji and he could detect his cultivation level. A peak Divine Cultivator.

"You!"

"Me," sneered Lyon as he kept his crossed arms. 

"Who are you?!" asked the man.

"Why should I share my name with someone like you? Besides, are you sure you don't want your attention off me?"

"Huh?"

Lyon nodded up in a gesture for him to turned around.

"F-father... Help... please..." muttered the First Prince.

The man gritted his teeth, "Let him go!"

"Why would I do that?" asked Yoji before he smirked and applied more pressure on his tight grip.

(Man.. for an alchemist, he is quite stupid huh. In what world would he think that Little Yoji would let go of him just because he tells him to) thought Lyon as he shook his head.

"I'm Saron! One of the most promising students in Alchemy Union, many powerful cultivators owe me a favor! It would be best for your empire if you let go of my son," said Saron before with a snap of his finger, he summoned a red stone that was the same shape as the Returning Jade Stone.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows, he never saw the red stone one before.

"Summoning Ruby Stone huh," muttered Yoji.

(Oh, so it's the opposite power of Returning Jade Stone huh? That's a pretty convenient name, to be honest. I wonder if they were activated at the same time or during one of them was active, will the latter overlay the former?) thought Lyon.

"That's right! You don't want this island to be annihilated right?!" said Saron as he smiled wickedly.

"You only got one?"

"Huh," Saron's expression immediately changed for the worse. It was not the response he would have hoped to come out of Yoji's mouth. He never faced an enemy who would mock him after he revealed Summoning Ruby Stone.

(W-what does he mean... h-he is bluffing right?... right?!) thought Saron.

"Saron, do you know why Ghuaisha couldn't even fight back against me and died easily?" asked Yoji.

Saron glared at him before asking, "Why?"

"I taught her how to cultivate efficiently but I never taught her how to fight at all, just like how easily I could kill all of your sons," answered Yoji.

"Experience, Saron," added Lyon.

"That's right! One could destroy a lot of bricks, a lot of trees, but those things never fought back. In the situation of life and death, what did your son know except fear?" said Yoji.

"Your family orchestrated a torment that would make an ordinary man suicide on their own accord, however," Lyon smirked, "Little Yoji is not an ordinary man."

"Ghhghhh! Fa..." The FIrst Prince was struggling to speak as he could feel Yoji's fingers started burying inside his neck as blood trickled down.

"Tch! Wait! I got three!" Saron gritted his teeth before he flicked his finger and retrieved two more Summoning Ruby Stone.

"Good!" shouted Yoji.

*crack

Saron's eyes stretched open as his pupils shrunken in disbelief. His son's neck was obliterated as blood sprayed to the assailant's cheek. There was not an audible scream that could be heard before the ugly figure slowly fell into the cold sea below with a splash.

The moment the sea stopped rippling that he was snapped back to reality, "Haaah!!!!!!!!"

Veins popped up on his forehead, "Die!"

*crack

Saron broke the three Summoning Ruby Stones at the same time. He was finally swallowed up by vengeance.

Three ruby red lights immediately came like a shooting star from different directions as Lyon looked at them with a smile. (Looks like I'm getting some action after all).

The first red ruby light finally came before it revealed a middle-aged man that wore simple clothing. 

"Greetings Mr. Saron, perhaps you need my aid today?" asked the middle-aged man with a smile before he noticed two red ruby lights were coming this way. "Hmm, to think that you summon another, not to mention two, I hope I will still be favored, after all, I'm your number one Patreon."

"We could discuss it later! I want you to kill that man!" shouted Saron as he pointed out Yoji.

"Hmm?" the middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Yoji. 

"Who is this man Mr. Saron?" asked the middle-aged man.

"I didn't summon you to ask a question but to kill that man!" shouted Saron as he was on the brink of insanity.

The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows but speak no further as he stood against Yoji. "Greetings, I'm sorry to say, but I need to kill you, for it is Mr. Saron's request."

"You know you can't kill me, give it up, you wouldn't stand a chance kid," said Yoji.

(Kid?!) thought the middle-aged man, He never heard such a call in a long time, especially not when the one calling him looked way younger than himself.

He gritted his teeth, "Looks like I need to teach you some manner while I'm at it."

Yoji crossed his arms, "Are you sure you want to do this? There are enough corpses on the sea already."

"Heh, youth and his cockiness, that's why they never get to mature and die early," said the middle-aged man.

The second red ruby light finally came before revealing a man with a single sword beside his waist. He had long ponytail hair and a thin mustache.

"Saron, what purpose did you summon me?" he furrowed his eyebrows, "and the others..."

"A killing request, kill that young man that is smirking all the time," said Saron as he pointed out at Lyon who was leaning back unperturbed by the development of the situation.

"Hmm?" he looked at Lyon who couldn't care less and unfazed.

"I'm sorry friend, but your fate is sealed," said the swordsman.

"You mean cut?" asked Lyon before he yawned.

"What?"

"I mean, you are using a sword, wouldn't the right word would be 'cut' instead of 'sealed'" explained Lyon.

The swordsman was confused before a laugh came from the middle-aged man, "You don't have to kill him, I will do it after I'm done with this one."

"Hmph! Keep your prey for yourself, else I would steal it from you," said the swordsman.

"You guys are pretty eager to die, but we need to wait for the third person," said Lyon with a yawn. Looked like the lack of napping time caught up to him.

"No need,"

"Oh you would need one, otherwise it won't be fair... to you," said Lyon.

The swordsman unsheathed his sword before he muttered with a twitched eyebrow, "Your cockiness ends here."

"I guess, I could entertain you in the meantime," a familiar figure suddenly flew from below.

Yoji raised his eyebrows before he said, "Malik?"

"Your Majesty! I might be too late to say this but it's good to have you back!"

Yoji nodded, "Is the situation below under control?"

Malik nodded, "Yes, Reich is overseeing them."

"Reich? Are you sure?" his tone was skeptical.

"He insisted, he said something about finding an answer of whether he is loyal or a slave," said Malik.

"Wh-What..?"

Malik shrugged his shoulder before one could hear an innocent whistle coming out of Lyon's puckered lips.. Yoji could only smile wryly at the one he revered the most.
