Emperor's Reckoning

Altre gripped his weapon more tightly as his eyes focused on his right palm. The latter\'s finger slightly bent as if he was gripping air.

*Pak!

Lyon casually slapped his face with his left hand instead. The unimaginable force from that casual motion actually sent him away.

Time froze as the onlookers couldn\'t blink their eyes. They refused to process what just happened right inside their brain. Their lips tried to come up with a word but their mouth couldn\'t even shut. All of their thoughts stuck inside their throat however the image of Lyon casually slapping a True God cultivator of heaven was burnt inside their very souls.

"Altre!" shouted Felicia before her abdomens got kicked by Cecile. 

"Gah! You bitch!" Felicia swept the blood out of her mouth before looking at Cecile wasting no time.

She put up Alore against Scarlet in an attempt to block the incoming slash.

*Spark!

The blade clashed once more however Felicia\'s smile couldn\'t last long before she felt a cut in her right shoulder. (W-What?!).

Cecile grinned as her jade eyes glow vibrant. Her movement started to drastically increase in terms of speed. A few clashes here and there and blood kept sprouting out of her body. (W-What\'s going on?! How?! I blocked her attack!) she had no time to speak as she was struggling to keep up with Cecile\'s movement.

*Clank!

Cecile suddenly lost her grip against Scarlett.

(Chance!) thought Felicia as she tightened her grip against Alore. She grinned ominously as victory was within reach.

"Die!" shouted Felicia as she thrust her sword against Cecile\'s heart.

"Heh," Cecile flicked her finger.

*Clank!

Scarlett clashed against Alore to her disbelief. (What the... Sword intent?!). Cecile put one hand on her back and controlled Scarlett with a pair of fingers from the other. The amazing display caught the awe of the onlookers, however, before they could even let out one comment, Cecile suddenly leaned forward and fight with her four limbs.

"W-What?!"

"Impossible!"

"What mastery level is that?!"

The onlookers couldn\'t contain their astonishment as Scarlet was keeping on attacking Felicia non-stop whilst Cecile was attacking with her limbs. Most of her attacks were met with a clean hit as Felicia could only block two attacks at most at the same time. 

Blood splurting out as the tenacity of her bones and muscle were challenged by each fist, palms, and kicked. The deafening roar of a True Dragon was occasionally heard but the brutal beating didn\'t stop. Cecile was showing no mercy as the blood of a war god erupted in her vein.

The pretty blonde soon found herself not blocking anymore as Alore couldn\'t be content with the barrage attack. The blade soon escaped her grasp before Cecile buried her fist against her pretty face before pushing it downward.

Her figure was shot to the ground, destroying the roof of the proud building of Treas before shattering the floor to a crater.

Cecile stood with Scarlet hovering and circling her body while she put her hands behind her back. The domineering aura was eminent as she looked down against heaven like her husband did. One of Felicia\'s eyes couldn\'t open properly as her nose broke and shifted to the right. Blood was coming out of her face and her figure was badly injured. Let it be an Ascending God realm cultivator, she would have died by now.

The full difference between technique and raw power was on display. The cold empress lived up to her name.

Meanwhile on the other side. Altre was speechless seeing her sister easily being overcome like that. She was the stronger one out of the two siblings. His words stuck in his throat as his eyes twitched in anger.

"You\'ll pay for this!" shouted Altre.

"Enough!" 

Cecile and Lyon had their eyes turned sharp.

A shout halted Altre\'s advances. His eyes opened wide before he averted his glance above. A man of unknown origin was brooding over the world with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a robe unlike Altre and Felicia but they could probably guess where he came from.

"Who are you?" asked Lyon.

The man only looked at Lyon before his gaze averted toward the ruined building. Felicia was at the center of the crater and the state she was in brought furrowing eyebrows.

"Hmm..." he let out a brooding breath.

(He is dangerous...) thought Lyon as he realized his technique won\'t be enough to beat him. (Most likely, he is their backup or some sort).

The man suddenly raised his hand, "Send them home, their parents want to see them."

"W-What?! No! I\'m not done yet! I need to kill these two!" shouted Altre but two figures suddenly appeared each on his side and grabbed his hand.

"Young noble Altre, your training is not done yet for the upcoming competition. Don\'t worry I will avenge both you and your sister\'s face."

"But Captain!" shouted Altre.

He won\'t take the complaint as he nodded.

Lyon twitched his eyebrows before Returning Jade stones were activated from Felicia and Altre\'s side. 

"Heh, you\'re quite lucky, I was going to kill you myself," said Altre as his last stand

"See you later too," said Lyon with a smirk on his face.

Both siblings turned into jade lights as they streaked the sky in a common direction. 

"Now then... I see that you two are capable and worthy to ascend to heaven. I can vouch for you and let you live as long as you serve the family... you will be acknowledged in heaven I\'m sure. All you have to do is kneel and take the oath," said the man.

"Else?" asked Lyon.

The man snapped his finger before his subordinates suddenly appeared alongside them. There were only ten of them but each and every one of them could suffocate even the Ascending God cultivators by mere presence.

"W-What about me?!" the voice came from Lord Treas.
