Emperor's Reckoning

The Jade Dragon had a thick skin that was basically an enhanced version of a rhino's skin. The giant lizard had a set of sharp teeth and two pairs of claws that could shred the entire island in one swing.

The demi-humans that were of his own people, were intimidated by the sight of their emperor. With the size that even the giant race couldn't compare and was one-fourth of the island they were living, fear was an understatement. 

However, though the experienced ones had their soul shackled by fright. One young man stood in spite of their differences in size. Blood had already been his warpaint, both for his body and his sword. There was not a flinch nor a fidget seen as he put on a smirk on his face.

The dragon lady looked at the human's back. Though it pale comparison to the back of the Jade Dragon, the value behind it could cover the entire world if it wanted to.

(Are you going to fight that thing?) thought the dragon lady with a worry before she shook her head. (That was a foolish question, of course, you will just look at how gallant you are!) thought the dragon lady.

Though Lyon was a perverted man that was probably the lowest of the low in women's perspectives. He was also the man of men, he was not the type of person that could spout bullshit and nonsense but won't do anything when the time comes. He was the type of person that spout bullshit and sometimes unbelievable remarks but when the time was dire, god be-damned he'll be there. Maybe it was this quality that made women woo over him, though, they definitely won't fall in love the first time they saw how Lyon behaved.

It was this kind of time that they often forgot that Lyon was a pervert.

(This human... he is not scared at all, is he? At the sight of a Jade Dragon, how is it possible that he is not even nervous?!) thought the emperor before he let out a deafening roar that reverberated the island.

Lyon's hair was fluttering as he took on the direct roar with a crossed arms. With his capabilities of absorbing mana three times more than that of a normal person, the bruises or the slight wound that he had healed up at an astonishing rate, not to mention with the vitality of True Dragon.

The surrounding demi-humans felt their heart thumping as some of their eardrums exploded from the roar. The instinctive beast that was inside them felt the need to kowtowed against the Jade Dragon immediately.

The dragon lady touched her left breast where her heart was as she was the second closest to the menacing Jade Dragon. She could hear it pounding but her eyes opened wide as she saw how Lyon seemed unperturbed by the roar. He was nonchalant as he didn't move an inch from where he stood. 

With the emperor's huge lung, the roar lasts about five seconds long before he let out a snort that looked like steam against him.  (I bet you felt your knees weak now, human!).

Lyon smirked, "You call that a roar of a dragon?"

"What?!" said the Jade Dragon with his eyes of disbelief. 

He cheekily took a glance at his woman before he muttered, "Cover your ears."

The dragon lady raised her eyebrows before she did what he said.

Lyon's eyebrows furrowed as his eyes turned sharp.

"Ssssss!"

The hissing sound of taking a breath was heard loud and clear. However, the Jade Dragon's mouth was agape as he could see that he was not just breathing air. It was green-jade mana, it was infused within it.

Danger, every living demi-humans instantly felt danger. It was not frightening anymore, they knew it was dangerous. Whatever that young human will do will bring about chaos and destruction. However, it was too late for them to do anything. At the mere breathing in, they could feel their heart pounding immensely. Their goosebumps rose as freezing cold sweat was upon them.

The dragon lady who was behind him couldn't help but having cold feet as she could see that the young man was breathing some of the pure mana from his ring. That quality of mana would surely boost his roar to an imaginable height.

"Hm?!!!"

Yoji opened his eyes before he quickly flew above his ruined empire. He looked in a certain direction, it was mana flow, when one reached a certain degree of a cultivation realm, they could feel the disturbance of mana as if it was their sixth nature.

"W-What's wrong Your Majesty?" asked Malik as he hurriedly followed him up.

Yoji grinned, "It's His Majesty,"

"The Great Lord?" muttered Malik.

He nodded, "There is no mistake, only he in this world could pull up something like this."

Malik furrowed his eyebrows, "S-something like what?"

Yoji smiled, "With your shallow cultivation, you won't feel it now, however, I can tell you that right now, the world itself is preparing to brace an impact that could probably be irreversible."

Malik gulped, "Irreversible, Your Majesty?"

Yoji nodded. There was no hint of hesitation in his face as Malik took a glance at it. The latter wanted to believe that he was merely boasting, however, after experiencing for himself what had transpired in the Cefralin Empire. The position of doubt and belief were swapped.

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

For a moment, the atmosphere turned silent as the hissing stopped and Lyon closed his eyes. It was quiet enough to the point that everyone's heartbeat could be heard. Every thumping and pounding was different from one another but they did share some similarities. Each one was gradually increasing the rate of their beats.

He opened his eyes with a smirk on his face as he looked at the giant Jade Dragon in front of him. There was fright inside the eyes of the lizard with wings.

(Danger, this is one is dangerous!) thought the emperor before he quickly took a breath in and let out his roar.

"True Dragon Art: Roar of Shattering World."

Lyon's jade eyes glow vibrantly as the image of a True Dragon behind him turned vivid to the point of reality. The size of the True Dragon and its magnificent whiskers was too huge to compare to the Jade Dragon.

For a fraction of a second, the emperor felt the difference of bearing between the being that was living in Heaven and the being that was not. 

The True Dragon opened his crocodile-like mouth before it synced with Lyon's roar:

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUU!"

The Jade Dragon's little roar was immediately blown back. As every cloud in the surrounding instantly vanished. The island trembled before it cracked violently. The sea was pushed back as a huge tsunami was made in the direction of the roar.

Blood splurted out of all the ears of any living demi-humans on the island. Their consciousness vanished as the weaker ones had their heart exploded. Giants, dwarves, elves, and everything else, started tumbling down and didn't get up.

Inside the island where Sun, Shen, and Tuey were waiting for Lyon.

"Hm???? Ha...HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shen laughed as the island and their surrounding sea trembled.

"Do you hear that monkey?! DO YOU?!! DO YOU?!"

"Alright, alright, I get it!" said Sun who was slightly irritated

"Wawa, what's happening?! Why is the island trembling?!?!!" said Tuey as she held on to the Tetragram Chariot. She could feel her heart pounding to its death as she held her chest.

*neigh

The four stallions raised their hindlegs in excitement and fear as the flaming mana on their hooves danced.

"Not just the island little girl," said Shen before he flies a great height, "This whole world is!"

"What?!?!"

"Look at the sky!" shouted Shen with a grin on his face.

Tuey looked up before her eyes opened wide in disbelief. The empty space of the sky cracked out of nowhere in random places. Space itself couldn't contain the massive force that was dawned upon them.

"This is the roar of a True Dragon! The Roar of Shattering World!" shouted Shen as he thought (Finally, I could see you in action, my grandson!!!).

(But I gotta hand it to him though, True Dragon is not just some race you can mess with) thought Sun as he crossed his arms with a nod. Though usually, he would disagree with Shen, he was not a sore loser. (Now then, I can't wait for the moment you used my power! Grandson! Would you poke a hole in heaven? Or do something crazier?! Hahahaha!).

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

"Hey, you okay?"

The dragon lady's eyes twitched before she opened them slowly. The vision was blurred before she could clearly see a caring face. However, she felt a slight pain inside her ears.

"W-what happened?"

"I spoke a few romantic words against your ears and now it's bleeding, hahaha, ow! ouch!"

The dragon lady repeatedly flicked her finger against his nose before he let her go.

"Oh, by the way, I think I'm gonna start bleeding through my orifices soon, so I'll be in your care, hahaha *splurt!"

Just as he finished his words blood churned out from the orifices of his face.

"Ah?!" The dragon lady immediately caught him before she carried him like a princess.. She turned around before her silver pupils shrunk at the sight that was in front of her.
