Emperor's Reckoning

Yunesia furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the young man who stood against Eternal Golem. If there was one thing that she knew about Lyon, it would be that he wouldn't accept his women being bullied no matter how strong his opponent was.

(He won't show mercy, just like at the time in the banquet!) thought Yunesia as her heart fluttered in excitement.

"Eternal Golem, you fought him before and lost," said Graham with pity in his gaze. "You should know better."

"What..?" muttered the Eternal Golem

Graham's eyes turned sharp as everyone hold their breath, "My master will... kill you."

His ashen hair fluttered forward as someone behind him made a jump.

"Na?!" the Eternal Golem opened its eyes wide in disbelief. Its pupils reflected a young man with his glaring eyes stretched open and his eyebrows furrowed. His teeth were gritted and his long black hair fluttered.

Lyon suddenly turned around before giving that humongous face a roundhouse kick with the flare of True Dragon's roar.

*Boom!

The blow was powerful enough to send Eternal Golem off of its giant feet before falling down to the ground and crashing against the vast wasteland. 

Lyon landed on his two feet as everyone gasped looking at his back. The shimmering glow of the names written on his back was both mesmerizing and nightmarish. Lumina could only imagine the toll his body had to endure to activate both powers at the same time.

"You little shit!" the Eternal Golem got back up. "How come the Golem's Petrification didn't bind you down?!"

Eternal Golem immediately gasped in horror as its eyes shrunken the moment it notice something (You are under the influence... no... impossible!). 

"In this world, there is one human that could withstand the Golem's Petrification... To think that you are still alive! TOORRGAAA!!!"

The Eternal Golem smashed its stone hand downward to splattered the glaring youth.

"Die! Torga!!"

The giant hand slapped down like it's trying to smash a mosquito but.

"How dare you?!" shouted Lyon as the mantra immediately shocked the Eternal Golem's one-fourth soul.

"Argh!" the direct hit from Mantra caused the Eternal Golem to step back a few times before Lyon leaped forward instead.

"Heh, got you!" said the cunning Eternal Golem before he clapped his hand to smither Lyon.

*Boom!

"Lyon!" cried Lumina but the Eternal Golem didn't show a joyous face.

The humongous hands were trembling at the core as they couldn't close up despite the struggling effort that it put on.

"Looks like both of us are at a weaker version than the glorious past, Torga!"

Lyon's right leg and right hand were pushing away the right hand while the opposing limbs were pushing the left hand.

He was glaring at the Eternal Golem with killing intent that encompassed the immensity of the word death. 

"Tch! To think that your killing intent finally surpassed even me," said the Eternal Golem before it suddenly let go of its hands making Lyon instantly vulnerable.

"Eat this!" the Eternal Golem slapped Lyon's figure with a backhand before he was sent flying like a bullet toward a mountain in the east direction.

*Boom!

Ivy's eyes opened wide in disbelief as her hair fluttered. A figure had just crashed onto the mountain behind her back.

"What was that?!"

"An enemy?!"

"It sounded like something crashed against the mountain behind us!"

The elders were in a state of panic. They couldn't turn around due to Golem's Petrification but the killing intent that exuded behind them was even colder than their clan's specialty.

Lyon was embedded on the wall of the mountain. His fists turned deadly as veins inside his forearms bulged.

"Ra!" he let go of himself with a push from slamming his wrists against the mountain. As he descended down the crack slithered its way to the entire thing before breaking the entire mountain apart like brittle baked cookies.

The moment his feet landed he immediately leaped forward passing Ivy and the others.

"Ah? L—"

*Boom!

The resounding boom of the sound barrier being broken left her words unheard of.

"HHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

The roar was heard in the entire realm as the other geniuses turned their head. They all recognize that voice.

"That's Big Brother!" exclaimed Zet. "Shit! C'mon, move leg!

"Lyon?" uttered Porealus. 

The intense roar rendered their heart almost ripped apart just from hearing it. However, the Eternal Golem was already waiting for his return.

"TORGAAAA!!"

The Eternal Golem let out a punch forward before the void and the fabric of space were trembling upon their colliding force. 

"Tch!" The Eternal Golem staggered with one of its feet took a step backward.

"I don't know what happened to your past power but the way you are now is not enough to defeat me!" shouted the Eternal Golem before it let out a flurry of punches toward its small opponent.

"Defeat? Who says anything about defeat?" The madness in his eyes could rip apart the very heaven up in the sky.

The young man and the golem bout it out as their clashes brought the realm to a concerning danger. The sight of their battle sent the onlookers to gasp in astonishment. This was the battle of the titans, they had no place in this fight.

"You're effort is futile! Futile!" shouted the Eternal Golem as it lashed out even more punches than before, but, again they were met with his barrage of fists. "With no mana in this place, my race, the blood that ruins inside my veins! Wins over you puny humans!"

"That's where you're wrong," muttered Cecile as she looked at her dearest fighting for her sake. "Lyon Torga... Torga's bloodline is not ordinary at all. It can even annul your Golem's Petrification yet you failed to see that point of view."

Her muttering was heard only by her own mother that was on her side after she covered her.

"Ha!" the cry of a Devil Ape reverberated out of Lyon's roar. His fist suddenly merged a golden glow before hitting the humongous knuckle made out of stone.

*Boom!

The blow destroyed the entire hand of the Eternal Golem.

Graham and the other two grinned seeing their emperor had the upper hands.

"Argh!" The Eternal Golem wailed to the sky before returning to look at Lyon with a glare.

*Boom!

It didn't manage to even gain a focus before its entire face was struck with his fist.

"Ra!" Lyon slightly jerked with a roar before four golden tails sprung out.

He leaned in as the Eternal Golem's face was in his range. All of his four limbs plus the four golden tails didn't show any mercy as he combined them all out with a single breath.

The Eternal Golem was stepping back and back as its face was maimed by Lyon's wrath. The air exploded multiple times as Lyon's barrage of attack didn't stop a single time.

"Die!" Lyon pulled his right fist before a punch that encompassed the True Dragon and Devil Ape combined struck the humongous figure.

*Boom!

The Eternal Golem fell down for the second time after the huge strike from Lyon's fist. The huge shadow cast on the wasteland before the impact of the weight alone trembled the entire realm they were in.

Lyon hovered in the air before slowly descending down. He didn't take a second look at the Eternal Golem before turning around and making a ran for Cecile. His heart was thumping as he approached his loved one. Seeing the blood trailing from her lips made his teeth grit.

"Lyon are you alright?" asked Cecile.

"That's my question!" said Lyon as he slid before being by her side. "Don't worry, let's get out of here, I will treat you personally."

"And where are you going? Torga hahaha!"

The three generals immediately turned their eyes sharp as they heard that voice. The Eternal Golem stood up once more to the group's disbelief.

"What?" Lyon furrowed his eyebrows before he glanced over.

"That punch of yours is really heard. My head almost exploded! But did you forget something? I'm a Specter! A special one that is."

Lyon raised his eyebrows as he saw its broken face healed at a frightening rate. The hand that he had destroyed somehow regrew back to where it was.

"Impossible! There is no way a Specter could regrow that fast!" shouted Kesya. "You must be using an external factor!"

"Hmph! You ruined my fun quite rudely, but the elf is right. Why did I tell you this? Because there is absolutely nothing you can do!" The Eternal Golem laughed as it basked in their despair.

The only one who could move freely at the moment was Lyon. The youth knew that he could use space-type magic by using the mana that his wedding ring's stored. However, it would be a futile attempt since there was no way the Eternal Golem would let him do it.

He stood up from Cecile's side before turning around. He didn't know how long will his body be able to endure the transformation.

"G-Grandson...?"

*Thump!

His heart almost stopped as he heard the hoarse voice.
