Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 306 - Where Is The Cave?!

The dragon woman looked at the ripple the young man made from free-falling against it. She let out a sigh before dropping her stance as she rolled her eyes. She slowly descended down before her bare toes touched the very surface of the pond.

*swirl

The pond immediately opened up like a bowl before revealing the very bottom. The red blood sword was obviously drenched but its owner was out of consciousness as his eyes spun clockwise. 

The dragon lady immediately darted her glance away seeing the naked young mortal's butt before returning back. She shook her head before contemplating how to carry him before putting his hand on her shoulder. Her eyes opened wide as she took a glance at Lyon's source of happiness before immediately pushing him away.

The man fell on a pointy rock before his forehead destroyed it upon impact. The tenacity of his body alone was astonishing. However, his consciousness only went further away as the result.

In the end, the dragon lady picked up the sword before grabbing him by the hair. The moment her feet touched the soil, the water bowl crashed at each other before gradually returning into a pond.

She examined the red blood sword with keen interest before trying to swing it.

*thump

Her eyes slightly opened wide in surprise as she could feel her heart missed a beat as she swung it. She never had any experience with a weapon, especially a sword, that could produce such side effects. 

"What was that?" muttered the dragon lady before looking at her own reflection on the shimmering red-blood blade. She furrowed her eyebrows before she understood what's the meaning behind the thumping that she felt.

"A menacing weapon where every swing would be a contest of killing intent," she darted her glance toward the unconscious young man, "and he is the owner of such weapon."

(How many men did he kill to attain such ease when using this weapon?) thought the dragon lady before she let down Scarlet beside its owner. 

"Destroying a kingdom and then overturning the empire it belonged to. Such a feat in under a week. His cultivation is beyond sufficient to do that, yet he managed to do it. That is beyond impressive, it's impossible," muttered the dragon lady before she let out a cold breath that dried up Lyon's drenched body to the very hair.

"Hmm?" she noticed something sparkly on Lyon's finger before she held his hand up.

She furrowed her eyebrows in contemplation, "This is not just any spatial ring, what is this?"

Her dragon bloodline made her more sensitive toward mana than the other as she could snuff it out like a dog. The purer it is the harder the scent, that was why the dragon race was among the top races in the multi-worlds. However, even she never sniffed a one hundred percent pure mana.

"This... impossible! How could such purity exist?! Not to mention... it's vast and plenty! I couldn't sense the end of it! This is not a bucket of mana this! This is the entire ocean!" her nostrils were shrinking and expanding at a fast rate.

She gulped before calming herself down. She darted her glance toward the face of the young man that was the bearer of the ring. The more he looked at his passive and sleeping face the more her eyes were drawn into them. All that perverted acts from before were unjustified when she saw his innocent face. One couldn't guess what sort of man he was with a single glance, not even married women whom legend said could tell a person in a single glance.

She shook her head before standing up and turning around. (The emperor of human, Yoji, called him, the emperor. An emperor called him an emperor. He praised him so much that he is being compared to the gods).

She agitatedly bit the nails of her thumb as she turned around. (Is he from the higher world? That's gotta be it. However, how come does his name is unknown?).

Mysteries. It was the one word she would describe the man called Lyon Torga. She could come up with a hypothesis that his parents died and he was the only son or at least the firstborn child, thus inheriting the empire as a young emperor. 

(But that wouldn't explain that Yoji was Little Yoji? The age wouldn't match... unless... no... that's impossible, I don't think the limited age of a mortal would make him look that young even by cultivation. Yoji is quite old and I know that for a fact) thought the dragon lady.

The more she contemplated the more painful her head was, it was to the point of stinging. 

"The more I think about it the more it doesn't make sense, *sigh, who are you anyway? What purpose do you have in coming here?"

"Ngh!"

The dragon lady furrowed her eyebrows as she saw Lyon's forehead produced a lot of sweat. His head slightly moves in discomfort as his face twitching.

"Poison?" muttered the lady dragon before she examined his pulse through his wrist.

"Nothing... In fact, it's abnormally divine! He had three sources to absorb mana at once!"

"Ghh!"

She shifted her focus to Lyon's expression that was gritting his teeth. She put her hand toward his forehead to feel his heat. 

"Ngh! *fffffffffffffart ahhh."

The broken cave was silent in honor.

His sweat immediately stopped producing after he let out the symphony of requiem of his life. His expression was content and not a single care of the world was present. However, unbeknownst to his innocent soul, the atmosphere around the broken cave was chilling to a freezing point.

The lady dragon's eyebrows were arching to the point of twitching as her pupils turned sharper than before she was about to have a duel of swords with him. Her breath was panting as smoke almost came out of her nostrils. Her fingers were buried deep inside both of her palms to the point of shaking. Mana was gracefully dancing around them as they supported her cause. It was probably the first time nature pick someone other than Lyon. 

Her pupils shrunk before she raised her fist and plunged it on Lyon's bare abs.

"Just Die already!"

The moment of impact was with a resounding boom that arched Lyon's body upward as his eyes bulging opened. For a fraction of a second, his consciousness went back but he couldn't even mutter the word 'why' before it was gone again, fleeting farther away than it was ever been.

The rest of the cave was ultimately destroyed as the gems scattered on the ground, reflecting the light of the sun and revealing the beauty of their worth.

"Man, they are going at it rough," muttered Shen.

"It's going to be a while till he comes back," muttered Sun.

"There there horsey horsey," said Tuey who had overcome her fear instinct toward the two.

----------

It didn't take too long before the sun left the dusk and let the house of stars took over. The lone island was chilling during this moment and the sound of crackling wood settled the mood of serene in the heart.

Lyon twitched his eyebrows before he slowly opened his eyes and saw the magnificent scenery of nature above. He let out a calm breath before he felt a sting on his stomach.

"Ouwh-ooouwhhh ohhh oh... hohhhh," Lyon slowly controlled his breathing to adjust the strain of his abs through respiration.

"What the fuck happen?" muttered Lyon as he looked down and saw his stomach was fully bandaged around him. He squinted his eyes in disbelief before he noticed that the clothing he wore was different.

It was a robe, a swordsman robe of the same kind as the dragon lady wore.

(No way, is this her robe?!) thought Lyon before snuffed the fragrance (Nope..).

"So you have finally woken up."

Lyon looked at the bonfire before he noticed the dragon lady was sitting opposite of him. Her face was annually covered from his eyes by the dance of the flaming fire from the crackling woods.

He put on a smile before saying, "Thanks for putting my robe."

"Oh don't worry, it was a pleasure," answered the dragon lady to his surprise.

It was the first time he heard an unexpected answer coming out from his flirting. How could he notice bruises on his body hidden under the robe when a beautiful woman was sitting across?

He looked at the surroundings before noticing that the landscape had changed a lot since he last woke up. (Wait, wasn't there a cave? I know it's broken but, this is not a cave anymore!).

Lyon smiled as he scratched his cheek, "Hmm, are we still in the same place as before?"

*slurp

She put down her cup before answering, "We do not move a single space from the island."

"T-Then what happen to the cave?!"

Her eyes turned sharp as those silvery pupils of her looked deep inside Lyon's soul, "Your fart destroyed them!"

"...."

"......"

"........MY WHAT?!"
