Emperor's Reckoning

One became two, two became four, four became eight and so on, the supposed to be 'mini-competition' became the hot topic of the entire East region in just one battle.

The main character of this topic was, of course, Lyon, the man who stood up for the boys. Even though he himself didn't know what he did.

While the competition resume with it's battle, Lyon was walking with the rest of his friends, but this time, they were surrounded like VIPs. The boys unconditionally became their bodyguard like he was a leader of a gangster or something.

"Move-move out of the way, the prince is coming through." said one of the boys.

"Who is the prince?" asked someone curiously.

"Are you kidding me? Don't you hear the latest news?!, You pathetic little fellow let me pour you with some juicy info," said a boy with spectacle.

It didn't even take the sun to set to made Lyon's name known all over the East region. The boys were working fast, there was already a dumpling with Lyon's name engraved on it, the dumpling was called 'Avenger Dumpling' as a revenge from the boys to the girls. They vowed that every time Lyon goes fighting on the ring, they all would be eating the dumpling right in front of the girls.

As Lyon was walking down to a tavern, all the boys cleared up the area in under five minutes. With accumulated experience, the bartender knew this young man and his group were important groups.

"Now then, could you explain to me what just happened?" asked Karina.

Lyon scratched his head, "Hehe, well you know me, I'm just trying to have fun."

"It may be fun to you, but what about Reka? She must have felt miserable," said Karina with her cap slightly risen up to reveal her demon glare.

*gulp

"Alright, alright I know that already."

"Lyon, Reka actually had an older sister within the Central region, she is also among the top five cultivators, rumor said that she is the top candidate to become one of the elders there," said Riku.

Meanwhile, outside the tavern.

"Hey-hey prince Lyon is in there! UWAHH!"

One of the 'bodyguard' was blasted off outside the tavern.

*tap

*tap

*zeet

Another bodyguard slipped in and block the figure of the entrance of the tavern, "Heh, you want to meet our prince? You have to fa- UWAHH!"

The figure was a beautiful woman with a better countenance than Reka, she wore a special elder white robe and there were two twin swords on each of her sides. Unlike her straight-haired little sister, she had a straight hair with twin bun on her head which made her really cute. However, her breasts were only as big as Luna's, but heaven was not blind, they gave the girl a really elastic butt.

"Lyon! Get the hell out!" shouted the woman.

Inside the tavern,

"Lyon, who is that?" asked Luna.

"I have no idea," said Lyon before he shouted, "The tavern is open, woman! just get in!"

.

.

.

"That's our prince for you, he won't even give a face to an elder." said one of the 'bodyguards' that got kicked to the side.

"But this is an elder we are talking about!: said the other one.

"Don't worry, you got the dumpling?"

"Yes."

*munch

*munch

"He will win!"

....

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman's face was really gloomy, she just got promoted to an elder in the central region but her little sister was humiliated in public.

"If you don't get out now, I will destroy the tavern!"

"Not mine!"

.

.

.

The woman's mouth was finally twitching, she lost her cool and slammed the door open.

*bang

Just as she stepped inside, her neck was already at the mercy of a huge axe.

(W-what speed! I didn't even hear the movement of the wind!).

She couldn't even be nervous anymore, death was literally about to embrace her. She didn't dare to probe her cultivation, she didn't need to, she lost before anything even began.

"I hate loud noises, the only reason you are still alive is that because my hubby said so," Said Ryona.

*shreek

*thud

The wooden door behind her was cut in half.

(How?!) thought the woman.

*zing

Ryona put back her axe and sat down beside Lyon like nothing happened.

"Well, who are you?" asked Lyon.

After recollecting her breath she began to calm down, "I am Reka's sister, Naeya."

"Do you want me to apologize to Reka?" asked Lyon calmly.

"Yes!".

"Sure."

"Huh?" (I thought he would retaliate and said no, I mean that was how it supposed to be right) thought Naeya.

"Thank you,"

Then Naeya walked out of the tavern.

...

"Huh? She looked fine." said one of the 'bodyguards'

*munch

"No, he won, our prince won! Don't you see how restless that elder was? There was no sound of fighting what's so ever, no blood not even sweat. That's how awesome our prince is." said the other 'bodyguards'.

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

The second round was about to start and the star of the competition was already standing on the ring.

Somehow there was a wind keep crashing on Lyon's back which fluttered his hair forward slowly. He looked really majestic like this battle was gonna be the battle that will change the world.

*munch

His supporters were all standing below the ring and took a bite the Avenger Dumpling at the same time.

However,

*tap

*tap

The enemy this time was ... a ... DUDE!

"What do you say we settle this battle with one ultimate blow?" proposed Lyon.

The crowd was stupefied, the one that proposed this was actually the weaker participant!

*cheeer

*CHEEER

The onlookers were livening up to the excitement

"DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!"

"DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!"

The opponent only nodded in response and took his stance.

*tap

*tap

The judge was the same one that oversees Lyon's match with Reka, "The battle between Lyon and Ernan, Begin!"

Right at that moment, Lyon grinned as if he already had everything under control.
