Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 42 - Magic Technique

*zing

Anskar cultivation level dropped significantly, this was the backlash of borrowing the power of the white tiger.

"Did it .. did it die?" asked Anskar while catching his breath.

"I don't see it in the sky, so it might be," said Argeon.

(Oh don't say that!), thought Lyon.

*blurrr

A spinning water pillar shot out from the sky aiming at Anskar who was lying down.

"Big brother!" said Argeon.

*sfwoosh

Argeon managed to swiftly drag Anskar away from the water pillar.

*boom

The water pillar hit the stage and it created a crater wide enough to become a pool.

*flap

*flap

The vishap revealed itself with all his six little wings flapping furiously. There was a gruesome hole in its chest. It seemed that their attack missed the heart by a feather.

"No wonder you had that tail, it was from that cat!" said the vishap.

"Hahahaha, stupid cat, with that attack failed your demise is imminent."

*furrrrr

The water energies from the world gathered inside the vishap's body getting ready to attack another blow.

*ripped

*tap

*tap

A beautiful woman rushed to the broken stage with her gown ripped showing her beautiful legs

"Please don't kill my father!" shouted Luna.

Hearing the shout, the vishap held its energies, "Ohh? And why shouldn't I kill him?"

"Because he is my father, although stubborn he is, he always did things for my sake, I don't want him to leave me."

The vishap intrigued with how this event unfolded, "I see, you are that woman's child."

"Be my vessel, then I shall spare him."

"No don't do it!" shouted Anskar with one of his eyes closed because of fatigue.

"Don't do it, my niece, you know what your mother fate was like," said Argeon.

"Well what is your choice?" asked the vishap with a smirk.

Luna was in silence for a while, she looked at her father's condition. He was lying on the ground with no ounce of strength left. The strong arms that used to hold her up when she was a child, were now too weak to even throw a rock. That man was breathing heavily, barely keeping his consciousness.

Warm liquid started building up at her corner eyes. He was carrying the burden of vengeance. Every time he looked at Luna, he reminded of his wife. Remembering that he was not there when his wife needed the most.

A slow and warm current started to explore Luna's cheek. She was smiling at her father and words didn't come out of her mouth but Anskar knew what she said.

'Sorry, I love you father'

"Very well!" laughed vishap, "With you as my vessel I shall regain my peak faster than my last host!"

(Kid, don't let her become that lizard's vessel, her lifeforce will be absorbed as an exchange for its power, in other words, she will die), whispered the true dragon to Lyon's mind.

"Oi lizard," shouted Lyon.

"Hmmm?" the vishap stared at Lyon for a while, "You, who are you? which descendant are you from?"

The vishap was surprised that Lyon also had an affinity with water, and even a lot denser than its! (Is it Leviathan?) thought the vishap.

Lyon was a bit confused should he said 'from his mother and father?'.

"From my father and my mother," Lyon finally decided to say it. The true dragon face-palmed himself.

Ryona and the gang also chuckled at his answer.

"You dare to mock me!!" the vishap somehow lost all its reason, it was afraid if Lyon had a terrifying background, but with a gruesome hole in its chest, it had become impatience.

"Cut me some slack, what am I supposed to say?" said Lyon.

.

.

.

"Hmm, your green eyes, reminded me of something." said the vishap.

.

Then the wyvern started trembling, its movement became rigid as if it was seeing a ghost. He remembered a lost legend of a dragon race. The race was considered a god among the dragons. The oldest race since the start of creation. Their body was really flexible, sometimes they were as small as a puppy, but when they are fighting with its true form, they could be as big as a whole empire or half of a continent.

"True ... Dragon...." the vishap said softly, (This man is dangerous, if he matured he could wipe out my race with a thought! I must kill him now!).

The vishap then bared its fangs at Lyon ready to pounce at him.

Ryona was ready to strike at any given moment but stopped by Karina's hand, signalling her that he should gain life and death experience more. "We will save him when he is in a really dangerous spot," whispered Karina.

"Alright kid, it's time to cook some lizard!" said the true dragon.

"Can't I just summon you?" said Lyon.

"Well yeah, but I'm too lazy to fight a lizard."

*blurr

The wyvern shot up his water pillar at Lyon without any warning.

*boom

*greeegg

Lyon managed to get away from the pillar. but the water dragged its way to Lyon's direction. While running Lyon was absorbing the heaven and the world's energies to prepare a spell.

"Hey kid, why are you running around? Sure with my element active you will gain more agility and strength, but come on you were my student once, this is too disappointing." asked the true dragon.

"Hey don't blame it on me, I don't even know the first thing about you."

"Oh right, my bad."

*bang

*bang

*boom

A kick suddenly hit the wyvern from the back and made it fell down on the broken stage, while her tail managed to hit the kicker and slammed him to the wall.

After the dust was settled it was revealed that Argeon was the one to kick the wyvern down.

"This is your chance kid," said the dragon.

"My spell is not ready yet."

"No! Just do what I said."

*whisper *whisper

"You can do that!?"

"Just try it!"

Lyon then closed his eyes and write the spells, but this time was in a circle, "Soul Spell, Soul Ashes!"

*zing

A white magic brand appeared in front of Lyon

*blurr

*blurr

A spiral of ashes headed toward the wyvern.

Amazingly, the ashes shot toward one point of a target when the original spell would just spread around all over the place.

'Try to write your spell in a circle but don't lose the momentum! The circle means that you will be focusing your spell to a single point in the centre of your spell thus amplifying its power. Unless of course if its original effect was a single hit target spell, then this technique would fail and the energies would explode because of over-amplifying.', was what the true dragon whispered.

*boom

The wyvern got hit directly by the ashes as it slowly getting corroded. It was struggling to get up, only to fall down once more.

*howl

*HOWL

The wyvern last howl could be heard by the entire kingdom to the Undine Lake, then it slowly covered in ashes and its life was no more, leaving not even a soul behind.

*swoosh

The ashes disappeared with the wind.
