Emperor's Reckoning

"What are you playing at?" said the astral figure with a menacing gaze, however he soon trembled as he realized something crucial. He was standing in front of his great-grandson!!

He quickly turned around as the nightmare was in his vision. Trigo had a sword stabbed in his chest to his disbelief. He thought he was saved seeing his great-grandfather appeared. "Little animal!! Sto-."

With a smile on his face, Lyon whispered, "Scarlet, feed the blood of your enemies."

The astral's pupil shrunk as he heard what he said.

*boom

Trigo's body was getting thinner at rapid speed observable from the naked eyes. He tried to scream at the top of his lung but nothing could come out of his mouth. Everyone saw the despair he was in but no one would dare to utter a word.

It was less than five seconds before Trigo was reduced to a skeleton-like-human. His body lost all signs of strength as he swayed and fell on the floor lifeless. People held their breath as they never thought he would die even though his ultimate background was here albeit only an astral.

"Trigo!!!" wailed Huyan. Although he was a useless descendant of his, he was still one of his. "Little ANIM-" his shout stopped midway as he turned around and faced Lyon's eyes staring down at him with killing intent as deep as the ocean.

Although he laid down Scarlet, it only brought more heavy pressure to Huyan as Lyon's hair seems fluttering from the intent he emitted. The way everyone saw it, it was like a vigorous white tiger staring at an old rabbit.

(His cultivation is definitely lower than mine!! but why!! WHY DO I FEEL FEAR?!!!) thought Huyan as his real body was feeling restless. He was occupied by his own thought that he didn't realize there was movement in the heaven and world energies surrounding Scarlet.

Lyon slowly retracted his intent as he turned his back on Huyan. "WHERE DO YOU TH-".

*SLASH.

Before Huyan could finish his sentence his astral body was ripped apart with a single slash. The last thing he saw was a sword that killed his great-grandson coated with heaven's and world's energy.

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

Inside a hidden cave sat a man with a nervous expression before he vomited blood. With his body trying to catch breath he yelled, "Huyen, Huyin, come here!"

Two men were rushing to the scene as they immediately pay respect to Huyan,

"Huyen pay respect to grandfather."

"Huyin pay respect to father."

Although they noticed a blood trail from the edge of his mouth they didn't dare to inquire about it. With a nod and calming down for a bit Huyan bring the disastrous news, "Trigo is dead."

"WHAT?!" exclaimed the both of them. They had the same disbelief look as they couldn't believe someone would dare to offend the Kafrin Clan. But what's more depressing was, Trigo was Huyin's only son! Furthermore, neither of the three people could produce any more child!!

Lyon cut not just his sentence, but also his family line!

"WHO IS IT!" Huyin and Huyen both lost in rage as killing intent emitted from them.

"I don't know who it was, I only know he is a young man, a talented one at that. However, I know the place, it was at that 'restaurant' in the Mist Clan, go there and bring him to me I will kill him!!"

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

Since the astral itself was made with heaven's and world's energy then a sword coated with them would be able to break it. Such speed of comprehension could only make people shook their head.

Everybody now knew how ruthless and fearless he was. His point was as clear as day, wanting to kill his companions means dead no matter who they are, be it Gods be it Immortals he would kill them all. Nobody dared to pick up their silver spoon to eat as for afraid of offending Lyon.

(To think that his death was caused by that little ferret stealing that little pup's meat.) thought one of the customers who saw what happened while Fenrir was taking a nap on top of Lyon's head after the commotion was over like it was none his business in the first place.

After jumping down the table Lyon was walking towards the exit of the restaurant with his hand behind his head feeling relaxed.

Jugen watched Lyon's back as he lamented in his mind (*sigh, Big bro is getting stronger and stronger while I'm still as weak as before, I'm afraid the time will come when I couldn't even be any of use to him and my journey would end). His wife in the future would always laugh at him every time he brought up this story whenever he was drunk and getting sentimental.

At the exit, Lyon was stopped by two waiters which treated him with respect and said, "Mr. Lyon, we afraid that you have broken the rules here of killing someone, the penalty would be determined by how many people you kill and have you meet with the owner."

The other waiter continued, "Seeing that you have killed one person, I believe the punishment is not severe for a man of your caliber."

"You mean two?" said Lyon. People couldn't believe he would say that. It was severe enough to kill one person, and he said two! What mad-man!

With a smile one of the waiters answered, "Do not worry Mr. Lyon destroying an astral figure is not considered a crime here."

Lyon smiled back, "Who said anything about an astral?"

(What? What is he talking about?) both of the waiters and the surroundings were confused at his statement. Trigo was the only one that died in this event.

"IS-is it possible?!" one of the expert customers exclaimed while standing up. He looked at Trigo's fiancee with fear. The woman was still standing up and well but this made him skeptical. She hasn't said a thing since the astral got destroyed!!

The man approached the woman from behind and touched her right shoulder.

*slid

The woman swayed down to the left side, but it was only half of her body that was swaying!

"By the gods! It's one of the most dangerous concepts! Two as if it was one!" said the expert with shaking hands.
