Emperor's Reckoning

Lyon gulped his saliva at the sight in front of him. The female queen he saw a moment ago was different from the woman that held the black spear. Not just her bearing, but her appearance as well.

Her long silver hair gradually turned black obsidian as it fluttered against the wild wind. Her red eyes penetrated those that dared to mock her status. Black sparks randomly appeared around her lean figure which was perfect for Gungnir.

The high queen looked at the young man in front of him before a smile formed on her pretty face.

Fei raised her eyebrows with a surprising look before leaping toward Lyon, "Look out!"

"Hmm?"

With a palm, Lyon was pushed aside before Fei herself jumped in the opposite direction.

*boom

A loud boom was heard at the spot where Lyon was before the dust quickly dispersed by the wind. What replaced it was a crater formed by the beautiful figure standing in the middle.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" asked Lyon as he saw Sylvianna's crazed smile with Gungnir in her hand.

Sylvianna spun the black spear before leaping toward Lyon and began her barrage of thrust.

*swoosh

The spear effectively thrust at a high speed as Lyon put all of his concentration to dodge the incoming attack. He gritted his teeth to keep up as he knew the spear was targeting his vital points. His golden sarong fluttered against his repeated sidestepping as the dust on the ground slowly scattered in the air.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" shouted Lyon.

"It's useless, once she entered that state, you have to knock her out cold," said Fei before she pulled Lyon away from the queen's range.

Lyon readied himself as he said, "You owe me an explanation after this,"

(Two against one and she is not even nervous, is she really Sylvianna?) thought Lyon before he blinked. "Huh!" exclaimed Lyon as Sylvanna was already in front of him thrusting his spear toward his head.

*boom

Lyon was pushed backward as he dragged the soil to hold his figure from falling. With his hand making a cross in front of his head, he managed to escape critical injuries. He slowly lifted his head as his eyes were already green, exuding a divine bearing.

"I'm sorry miss," said Fei before her maid attire fluttered and appeared behind the queen before she swung her hand against the nape.

*clank

Fei's eyes opened wide as her hand didn't manage to hit the nape but rather the hilt of the black spear. The queen only took a glance before propelling her with the hilt.

She was launched and embedded into the wall before falling to the ground. With two coughs she swiped the blood at the edge of her mouth a before spitting another to the ground.

"Hey, queen! Come here!" taunted Lyon with his hand.

The queen smiled against his behavior before gouging the big stone that was embedded on the ground and hit it toward him.

The flying big stone caught him off guard before he narrowly dodged it only to see Sylvianna already squatting below his eyes. (You are really...).

*boom

She thrust Gungnir upward right to Lyon's chest before he was sent flying in the sky.

"Guha!" Lyon couldn't help but grunt as he was rocketing to the sky. The blow from the spear almost ruptured his ribs cage. (Don't tell me, you are going to..!!)

Sylvianna smiled as she squatted down, her veins slowly appeared on her white lower thighs as the ground cracked.

Lyon smirked, "What an amazing woman!"

*puff

Lyon's figure finally penetrated the cloud as he reached the highest point. He closed his eyes as greenish mana coiled his right hand before his figure finally started descending.

Fei smiled at the development in front of her, "Nostria might get a little shaky."

*boom

The beautiful figure had finished charging the black spear as she rocketed to the sky. Meanwhile, Lyon penetrated the clouds downward at the same time.

The queen spun vertically before releasing the charged black spear toward the sky with mountainous force. Seeing the incoming spear, Lyon smiled.

"Gungnir Art: Black Dragon!"

"True Dragon Art: Palm of Shattering World!"

*roar

The roar of the black dragon was heard before an even more devastating roar made it looked like a hissing of a snake.

The black dragon penetrated the sky while the true dragon swam downward.

*ding

At the moment of impact, a tiny blinding light was formed before a huge ring manifested around it.

The shockwave slowly scattered to all directions in the sky as the people could feel a strong wind. It was lucky for them that the impact happened in the air, otherwise, the casualties would be unimaginable.

"You cannot beat this, Gungnir," said Lyon in a soft voice before the palm sent the black spear downward and finally etched to the ground.

However, the force of the palm along with Lyon's figure still falling toward the queen that opened her eyes and mouth in disbelief.

"Alright, that's enough," said Fei as she hit the queen's nape and made her unconscious before swiftly carried her away.

*boom

The palm hit the ground as a massive crater was formed.

Nostria shook as many of its citizen dropped to the ground.

"What was that?" asked a cultivator.

"I don't know, a strong wind, a blinding light, and then followed by an earthquake," said his friend.

"Maybe, the end is coming."

"Nah, you think too much, maybe it's one of those thirteen beings, you know how unfathomable they are."

In the garden where flowers were blooming was a little girl woven in white clothing, her green hair was that of nature. "Uwahh, Savior is really cool and amazing!"

She was peeking the whole event from the rooftop nearby that faced the training ground.

"Oh, big sister Ryona was watching too?" asked the little girl as she saw a familiar figure standing on the same roof.

"Huh? Big sister overseer too?" exclaimed the little girl as she saw another familiar figure.

"Wait?! All of the big brothers and sisters and even grandma Dina opened her eyes!"

The thirteen beings were standing on the roof watching the whole event as different expressions planted on their face. However, there was one thing in common, the feeling of awe.
