Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 40 - Potentially The Most Dangerous



All eyes inside the arena were on the man the princess chose.

He stood there with a smile on his face seemingly harmless, but nobody had the courage to utter a word for some reason.

"Can we begin?" asked Lyon earnestly to Anskar.

Anskar then snapped out of it, "Ah, yes you can."

"So, are you ready prince Draco?" said Lyon while tugging his glasses.

-------------------------

Beside the empty seat, Lyon left at, was Ryona and the rest of the gang also in disguise.

"I finally had the chance to see hubby in action!" said Ryona.

"Me too I personally never see him fight," said Karina.

(I also want to see what is his capability to make her head over heels for him.), thought Riku.

"I did see him fight, although I was semi-unconscious at that moment," then Jugen told them the stories of how he and Lyon first met.

"Hmm, overseer have you checked his elemental affinities?" asked Ryona.

"Now that you mention it, I always forgot to do that, the last time I did was only checking his ring," said Kyoko.

*open

The moment she activated her red eye, her hands were trembling in an instant. Warm liquid began to escape the pores of her skin. She didn't utter a word for some time.

"What is his elemental affinity?" asked Ryona after noticing her silence.

"Ah," Kyoko snapped back to reality.

The others were confused seeing her reaction.

"Well, as far as I know, he used Fire magic and space magic once, oh and also that sound magic from before was an elemental magic spell, so that's three," said Jugen.

Kyoko only smiled at Jugen's explanation, "Those, are just the tip of the iceberg."

Then she looked at Ryona, "You really do have a keen eye to pick a man like him."

"He is the most potentially dangerous man I've ever met, none can be compared to him. If he can mature enough, then with basic spells like firebolt he could burn half of Deo."

The rest of the gang was stupefied, especially Ryona, she never praised someone like that before.

"As for the affinities, take my hand," said Kyoko.

*Zurrrr

The vision of Jugen, Karina, Riku, and Ryona become more enhanced than before, now they could see the energies through Kyoko's red-eye and when they move their vision to the man of the topic ...

*Swoosh.

*Spark.

All the nature energies swirled around him like a tide ready to sail through the enemies. Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Space, Sound, the more they concentrate the more they discover.

In their eyes, he stood there like a true god. Draco's blue dragon seemed to be oppressed by Lyon's world element and could break any moment.

"A-amazing," a slip of word came out of Riku's mouth.

However, they didn't know that this was not even half of his true power yet, once he retrieved the other two rings, they would understand that true god was only an ant.

--------------------

"Hey, are you ready or not?!" shouted Lyon.

Draco then woke up from his unknown doubt, (Why am I doubting, why did I felt fear?).

"HMPH! Don't be so hasty, you are only a low third level elemental realm. It won't take too long to drag you to the grave." said Draco.

"Oh, right I forgot about that."

*tap

*zing

With every step Lyon took, he casually breakthrough like it was nothing to mention. Then when he came face to face with Draco, he already at the peak of the elemental realm, the same level as Draco.

"How about now?" said Lyon while looking down at Draco.

*woah

The crowd goes nuts at his instantaneous breakthrough.

"Holy f*ck, can a human really breakthrough like that?" said one of the inexperienced audience.

"Not only that, those seem to be a stable rapid breakthrough, no man in the history had ever done that!" said an old experienced audience.

Anskar and Drago quickly get up from their seat, they wonder who was that man that did the feat even legends couldn't do.

"My daughter, who is he?" asked Anskar.

"Oh him? He is just my vice-president," said Luna with her nose slightly pointed to the sky.

(Vice-president?!)

"S-s-so what if you breakthrough rapidly, I bet your foundation is rotten!" said Draco as he lashed out a fury of punches.

*bang

*bang*bang*bang

Lyon received the sudden attack directly and was blown directly.

"Hahahaha, see you are no match from the one with the Dragon Vishap blessing!"

.

.

The audience was silent once more.

.

.

Suddenly a laughter came from the man who lay on the stage, "Hahaha, you truly disappoint me, if that is the true strength of your Dragon Vishap, you better take your own life right now."

*thud

*thud

Lyon got up only to notice that his glasses were broken and his clothes were dirty. Then he decided to take off his shirt and get rid of the disguise.

"AH!, That man!" said one of the audience.

"You know this guy?" said another.

"C'mon tell us!"

"Hmph, you old thing, let me tell you. There is a new rising legend a few days ago in Nostria. A man came down from the sky using three rays of lights, he duped the eonic genius by the Deo rock, ending the Simak Labyrinth and destroy one of Nostria neighbouring kingdom in the process."

"Oh that legend, I heard he was sent from the heaven itself." said another audience.

The legend became more and more ridiculous as it passed on.

Lyon was topless once again, but this time he didn't bring a sword with him. He just stood there with his ripped muscles which release some kind of heat. Nature was happily dancing around him and he seemed to focus on his surrounding.

"Let me warn you this if you don't use your 'snake' power this will be a bit boring," said Lyon while closing his eyes.

"YOU!!! FINE I WILL GIVE YOU THE HONOUR OF WITNESSING MY TRUE POWER."

Then Draco's skin slowly covered with blue scales that's hard as steel leaving only his face.

The Vishap was famous in their water element art capability. Those who had the power from an ancient beast may have a special art belonging to the beast.

Lyon then slowly opened his eyes, revealing that they had changed colour to green. "Disappointing."

*Sfwoosh

*punch

*crack

*palm

With one quick glide, Lyon instantly appeared in front of him and launch his technique 'Shattering Palm' and broke those scales like a glass. Then he quickly grabbed his body by the neck and slowly whispered to him right in his ears, "You, should wear your armour, now fly."

*Sfwoosh

Draco launched into the air, "AAAAAARGHHHHH, my energies, the-"

*Boom

His body exploded in the air and blood pouring down on Lyon's body and Lyon stood there like a death god who just got baptized.. Basking the audience with fear.
