Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 302 - Old Enemy Dies Fast

As space was trying to heal up from the wounds it suffered by Tetragram Chariot devastating art, Lyon standing against someone who didn't even take a glance at what's happening behind him. The latter's eyes were glaring against him without any regard to his surrounding nature.

"You!" shouted the man.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows. He wondered what's wrong with the man in front of him before he could feel the killing intent started to exude out from the latter's body like a torrent.

"Who are you?" asked Lyon before his eyes turned sharp in a blink. 

"Tch! Then let me remind you!" shouted the man before a torrent of mana was gathering at his palm. Experts onlookers could see the destructive power behind that thing as they coagulated in a short period of time.

"Heaven's Dawn Art!"

Lyon raised one of his eyebrows as he heard the word that came out of his mouth. Heaven's Dawn, the self-proclaimed dynasty from Deo, the very first world that he was summoned in. Nostria had joined forces with all other kingdoms to end their supreme reign, however, it wasn't until Lyon's arrival that it truly ended for good.

He still crossed his arms as he watched the palm was on its way toward his torso. In that short moment, he stretched his lips as everyone's favorite smirk was installed.

"Palm of Heaven! Die!"

A hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows before it grabbed the man's wrist. The man opened his eyes wide in disbelief (W-what?). The mana he gathered gradually vanished from his palm.

"Heaven's Dawn huh? Haven't heard that name in a while, I hope the pair of sisters are doing well there," mused Lyon.

Lyon took a glance at the man in front of him who was still in a state of shock before saying, "Looks like you need an update since the last time we saw you,"

His voice turned deep as he muttered, "You see, you are not the only emperor here."

The man raised his eyebrows before he looked at Yoji who was grabbing his wrist tighter than any locks in the world. The killing intent that permeating from Yoji's glare made him looks like a little kitten facing an angry tiger.

"I may be just a driver, a charioteer, but how dare you try to lay your filthy hands against my emperor with ill intent!"

His fury against Lyon had blinded him toward the nightmarish surrounding and what Yoji was capable of doing. (A-A driver?! This strong?!) thought the man as he tried to struggle free from the grip. To no avail did he succeed as sweat started to pour from his forehead.

"Do you know the consequences of killing me?!"

Both Lyon and Yoji turned silent before the man continued with a smile, "You already killed Saron and offended the Alchemy Union. Hahaha, those guys are vengeful creatures! They will stop at nothing in hunting you down for killing one of their students! Killing me would make your situation worse!"

Lyon's smirk turned into a grin as he muttered, "Alchemy Union huh, that name brings me back, to be precise, it brings me back to a certain someone."

The man furrowed his eyebrows as he heard from the tone of Lyon's voice that there was no worry at all at the mention of Alchemy Union. As far as he knew, anyone that knows what kind of organization Alchemy Union was, wouldn't even dare to think about offending them unless it was a death wish.

"Do you know the name, Elize Growhthort?" muttered Lyon.

The man's mouth turned gaping at him. He thought he misheard the name that Lyon mentioned, "What?"

"Elize Growthort, she is really a unique girl," said Lyon.

He gulped as Lyon recite the name. Nobody in Alchemy Union had not heard of that elusive name. The one that was called a true genius in Alchemy Union. There were a few people trying to denounce her title only to fail and got embarrassed instead. Many wanted her service, her favor but she rejected them all. To this day she was still a solo alchemist without any obligation to serve power or a kingdom.

"What of it?" asked the man.

He doubted that Lyon could gain some favor from Elize Growhtort but the chances were never zero.

Lyon rubbed his chin as he hummed, "Hmm, you can say that I'm her pseudo-student perhaps?"

"W-what?!" exclaimed the man. Elize was an uptight demi-human girl that was really picky. Though she loved praises more than anyone, it's really hard to think that she would take up a student. Let alone someone from a little world like Deo.

"I don't believe you! Stop bulshitting and let go of me!" shouted the man. His heart immediately felt a cold chill as a gale was formed right in front of his eyes. A palm sunken in his right cheek before it rippled the fat and the muscles in his face. His eardrum exploded upon impact as blood churred out like a fountain. The cheekbones broke and his jaw was dislocated in that single slap.

"How dare you shout right in front of my emperor?" muttered Yoji.

"Looks like your cultivation level keeps on growing huh Little Yoji," muttered Lyon with a smirk.

"It's all thanks to you Your Majesty, I was ready to accept that I would have to start over from the beginning but here we are, my meridians are healing at a blinding rate," said Yoji.

"Of course it is, the parasites that were eating your cultivation levels never really puked out what's in their stomach. All I did was killing them and let nature do its thing. However, I know you are holding the pain Little Yoji."

Blood started to trickle down from the edges of Yoji's mouth but instead of twitching, he put on a grin that revealed the red hue of his teeth, "This is nothing, Your Majesty. As your loyal driver, this pain is nothing more than a pathway to my greatness!"

"A-Alchemy Union will eradicate... your empire..." muttered the man.

Lyon shook his head, "It's a shame that you will not see the opposite happening, goodbye ancestor of Heaven's Dawn, it's quite anti-climatic for you to end like this."

(B-but, Alchemy Union! What about Alchemy Union! Don't you fear them?! Don't you fear them?!?! They have ten thousand heroes at the beck of their call!! What, what are you doing! Stop!! STOPPP!) the ancestor of Heaven's Dawn could only scream inside his mind before Yoji's hand grabbed his entire face.

"Die.."

*crack.

Yoji let go of the ancestor's body before it fell to the sea and joined the others before him. This part of the sea was later known as the Empress Last Rest with how her rebellion and act of treason was ended with their bodies buried under.

Yoji turned around before kneeling in front of Lyon under everyone's eyes. His own people who watched him were in shock, they didn't even manage to cheer the victory cry before their emotion got jumbled once more. To think that an emperor level like him would bow against someone that young.

"I-I think this is my cue to go, farewell," muttered the swordsman who saw a chance where Malik opened his eyes wide against his own emperor, "H-huh what.. w-wait!"

It was too late for Malik to do anything since the swordsman just crushed the Returning Jade Stone to escape from the location. He furrowed his eyebrows as he muttered, "For a swordsman, he really is quite an opportunist."

He darted his glance back to the emperor that was kneeling.

Tuey was already gaping against the scene as her tail waggled left and right under her consciousness. (Older brother, what in the world, are you) thought Tuey.

"Everyone, listen to me!" shouted Yoji with a caught of blood. His voice reverberated to the entire islands and the surrounding without fail.

"My name is Yoji, you might know me as emperor Yoji, but I! Am undeserving of such title! However, if you may hear one last request from your emperor, please kneel with me, to the man that brought out miracles after miracles throughout his life. The man that could make Heaven a worse place than hell! King of kings! Emperor of Emperors! God of Gods!"

*neigh

The four stallions raised their hindlegs in agreement before running and stopping behind Lyon's back. Their magnificent mane was fluttering against the wind and the flaming mana on their hooves were dancing.

Lyon gave a smirk before he turned around and presented his back as he was approaching the Tetragram Chariot

Yoji's eyes opened wide as he saw Lyon's back. His grin couldn't get any wider as the silhouette of the Lyon he knew overlayed the present one. He almost could hear the dancing of a thousand banners as tears coming out of his eyes.

Yoji blinked away his tears as he took a deep breath, "His name is! His Majesty, Lyon Torga!"

All the people instantly felt the godly divine aura from the atmosphere before they all willingly knelt one by one.. Not a single one of them was standing on their feet.
