Emperor's Reckoning

The ring was full packed with people from the Mist Clan. This competition had never been this popular before and some even doubt if it will be more popular than now. Although it was raining just three hours ago, the ring was now dry and shiny. The committee of this competition really took it seriously.

About one-fourth of the audience were holding the 'Avenger Dumpling' and ready to eat them once the battle started. However, looks like they had a rival this time. Half of the audience was also holding a dumpling, 'Ruler Dumpling' while the last one-fourth were neutral.

*Ly-on!

*Ly-on!

*Ly-on!

The boys chanted his name like he was their hero but their chants soon overpowered by their rival.

*Lady Clemora!

*Lady Biane!

The girls had their own heroine to support and with them being half of the audience, their cheer easily crushed the boys.

Clemora was a beautiful woman of a high noble family from a faraway kingdom. She had a slender figure and snow-white complexion with nobility air seemed to surround her in everything she did. She had a mermaid-braided brown hair that looked really stunning. Her blue ocean eyes and her little nose were the perfect combinations of this masterpiece. The breast was not too big nor too small, just perfect.

She was wearing an all-white noble clothing including a pair of thin gloves. She was really calm despite the atmosphere in the competition. She just gently put her right hand on top of her sword's hilt on her waist, ready to strike any foe at any given moment.

The next person to arrive was also a beautiful woman capable of making people knelt with a snap of her finger. She had an hourglass body of a diva, but be warned, getting into her bad side and they will not live past that minute. Her movement was full of grace and precision, no matter where she walked, the men will always steal a glance at her.

Her pink and wavy hair combined with her snow-white complexion was like a beautiful angel just descend from the heaven. Her pink-strawberry lips were not too thin but not too thick either, it was as if it was made for smooching. She had an ample breast and a lively attitude to boot.

She was Baine, believe it or not, she was Clemora's elder sister.

"Well, well, I see you are as punctual as ever, little sister," said Biane with a hint of mockery.

"And you are always lagging behind stepsister," said Clemora calmly.

"Hmph!" smugged Biane.

They were sisters with a different mother, although they always acted like this in the public, the truth was they care each other and always support when they needed the most.

Both sisters hail from the North Region of the Mist Clan and mainly because of them most of the South, West and especially East Region did not participate in the competition.

"That red-blood sword is as good as mine," said Biane proudly.

"Although your cultivation is higher than mine, don't think you will get it easily big sister," said Clemora.

*zing

*clank

A greatsword came out from Biane's spatial ring and pointed it toward Clemora with her left hand. The sword was curved with the length of half her height, It had an unknown fur right on its chape. The blade was rough indicating it had been used too many times.

"Do you think you can defeat this? 'Whirlwind of Santana'" asked Biane.

Biane was famous inside the Mist Clan and she was the favorite to ascend to the Central Region this time. Her blade was known to be made from unknown ancient beast carcasses and the enemies she butchered it with were uncountable.

However,

*clank

Clemora unsheathed her sword and crossed the Santana. The blade was exquisite and had an aura of the righteous. It was a longsword with a long blue phoenix feather on its hilt. Although it's thin, it seemed to be unbreakable.

"I think my 'Blue Phoenix' could steal a victory," said Clemora.

Clemore was the favorite to ascend this time after Biane. Her exquisite sword's skill had sliced her way to victory many times. There was once a pursuer of her that challenge her to a duel and if he won they would go out together. Sadly, it didn't take a minute before the man got cut wounds all over his body.

"Looks like this is gonna be fun," said one of the onlookers.

"No kidding, the top two favorites for ascension were in the battle royal right now, people always debate which one is stronger and we will have that answer soon," said another.

"Hmph! Don't be ridiculous, our prince will definitely win this round, miracle will ... no ... he is the miracle," said one of the boys.

*munch

*munch

"Lady Biane, Lady Clemora, you shouldn't fight each other yet, save that for last, first off you need to get rid of that PERVERTED BEAST!" said one of the girls.

*munch

*munch

*clank

*clank

Biane and Clemora both retracted their weapon.

"She is right, where is he anyway," said Biane.

"Looks like you got yourself a rival in lagging behind," chuckled Clemora.

"I bet he ran out of strategies and left, in the end, he is still a peak Elemental Realm cultivator," said Biane.

*swoosh

*swirl

*swirl

*crack

An unfamiliar black katana made its way and stabbed on the ring.

*swoosh

Soon a figure jumped from out of nowhere and land on the hilt of the katana with his right foot. The figure smiled at the beautiful women in front of him.

"I didn't run awa-"

*ptak

*thud

(IT BROKE!!).

The finest work from Charlie broke into two, as it couldn't handle Lyon's weight.

(Are you kidding me! This thing can slash a building, but can't handle my weight?! Oh Charlie's gonna have a heart attack) thought Lyon.

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

Meanwhile inside Charlie's house.

*gasp

"Hah! .. hah! My heart stopped beating for a second there, what happened?"
