Chapter 319 - Jade Dragon
(Unbelievable, he took a full-force hit from a level five Godhood Cultivator, twice!! Yet, he could still stand without a single broken bone?!) thought the queen as she saw the incoming young man.
"Human, he who possessed the blessing of the great True Dragon, what is your name?" asked the emperor.
The surrounding demi-humans raised their eyebrows in disbelief. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"T-True Dragon...?!"
"Yes," said the giant whose blood was pouring out from his ears. He furrowed his eyebrows, "We were too busy of stopping him from ripping off the prince's wings, that we didn't notice, the words on his back."
"So that was indeed a dragon's roar."
"Damn, my heart still skipped a beat whenever I recall that one."
Lyon didn't answer before the dragon lady hurriedly left and stood beside him.
"We should leave," she muttered.
Seeing that they were surrounded by the whole army, it was quite the sensible outcome. Leave for the day, attack again in another. However, contrary to her expectation, the young man called Lyon Torga laughed.
"Leave? Do you think we can leave?
The dragon lady furrowed her eyebrows before she weighting the option. She gulped her saliva before saying, "We... can't... but you, you can, I can make sure that you—"
Her eyes immediately opened wide as her pupils shrunken. She suddenly felt the warmth and bliss running through her heart as her soft lips suddenly met with his. Her heartbeat skipped with every thump she could hear. Though this was not the first time she never would have thought that he would be so brazen as to do it right in the middle of battle, right under the watchful eyes of her parents and the whole empire.
"The answer is yes, yes we can, remember my chariot?" said Lyon with a chuckle.
"Ah yes, of course!" said the dragon lady before she encouraged him to do so, "Then let's go."
"Not yet," smiled Lyon before he used one of his fingers to wipe off the blood on her lips.
"But... what are you going to do...? With those wounds... Can you keep up with him?"
"That is the answer I want to know too," Lyon smiled before he turned around and faced the empire and his army.
The emperor furrowed his eyebrows, "You stand no chance against all of us, human."
Lyon opened his mouth before the dragon lady said, "He is not alone."
She pointed her sword against them with her eyes fueled by killing intent. Her wings were at their most Magnifique as she stood beside him.
Two against the whole empire. Both of them were panting and bruises could be seen on their figures. However, there was not a single ounce of doubt inside their vertical pupils. One red sword and one silver sword. A historical fight that the world will remember for the rest of time was about to commence.
The queen stood beside the emperor as she too drew her sword and pointed at both of them.

"You might have the blessing of a True Dragon, but the thing that running inside your veins is nothing but that of a human," said the queen.
"Let us show you the difference between the power that comes because it was given and the one that comes because it's nature!"
The queen was the first one to make the move forward. Her target was of course the only human on the battlefield.
"Too slow, woman."
The queen raised her eyebrows before multiple flashes of light came right in front of her eyes.
"Huu~" the dragon lady let out a breath before she looked at the emperor and the army forward.
"Phantom Sword Art: Ridicule of Shadows."
The queen opened her eyes wide before her entire body splurted out blood from the wounds that weren't there. She could only scream in agony as her body felt a thousand cuts all over it.
The dragon lady didn't even glance back before Lyon went past her and head straight against the emperor.
"Hmph! So be it!" said the emperor before he propelled himself against him. The army heard his warcry before they too let out theirs and joined in the fray. This was no longer a battle, this was war.
"You have the opportunity to just surrender yet! You chose the hard way! Well!! Third times a charm! That's what you humans always say right!" shouted the emperor as mana gathered around his fist once more.
"Jade Dragon Art: Maul of Jade Dragon!"
"Heh, please."
Lyon smirked before he suddenly vanished right in front of the emperor's eyes.
"What?!"
The emperor and the army were both stunned before a groan was heard right at the very back of the formation. They all darted their gaze behind them only to see an elf with bulged eyes of disbelief was glaring at Lyon with Scarlet penetrated through his neck.
"GhhGHh."
The elf couldn't speak clearly before Lyon withdrew the sword and blood immediately gushed out and paint his body. The frail figure fell down headfirst to the ground before causing dust.
"Do you think a Jade Dragon could keep up with a True Dragon? Don't make me laugh."
"Human! You don't deserve such power!" shouted the emperor before he heard another thud.
A noble dragon had his head severed off from the neck before falling down to his dust.
"P-princess! It's the princess."
"You..!! Attack!! Everyone Attack!!!" shouted the emperor before he went on with a roar against the dragon lady.
Lyon furrowed his eyebrows before in a blink of everyone's eyes he vanished once more.
"Not so fa—"
The giant who was about to stop him with his size had his head severed before he could even finish his words as Lyon went past by and head toward the emperor. In front of him, the route was filled and surrounded him with enemies far beyond count but the blood kept churning out as he left his trail with corpses that fell down to the ground.
*splurt
Many proud soldiers had fallen to the ground with their eyes opened in disbelief. The speed that Lyon went with was too fast for their eyes to keep up. Only afterimage that they couldn't touch before their heads were detached.
"Heads up old man!"
"What?!" the emperor was taken by surprise as he saw Lyon somersault and slashed his sword against him.
*splurt
Blood churned out before Lyon took a step back, "You have a really thick skin."
The emperor opened his eyes in disbelief as he saw the wound on his right forearm that managed to block Lyon's slash. The Jade Dragon's skin was quite tough, but he never experienced a wound-cut that was as deep as almost touching the bone.
"Hmm..." He grunted as his eyes turned sharp.
A silver sword suddenly penetrated the emperor's back before the dragon lady furrowed her eyebrows. She could feel that her sword couldn't be pushed further against his muscle.
"Pathetic,"
Muttered the emperor before he turned around with a swing of his fist.
"Whoops!" Lyon was a fraction of a second faster than him before he grabbed her by the waist and avoided his attack.
(Oh wow, this is sooo comfortable huehuhe!) thought Lyon.
"Thank you!"
"Don't mention it, I want to do it again later!"
"Huh?"
*clank
Lyon furrowed his eyebrows before he glanced at the sword he was holding. It was trembling, trembling with excitement.
"You have no chance, not against all of us," said the emperor before he continued, "you are in a borrowed time here, human."
"The moment the blessing ran out, there is no other fate than death. Everyone spread out!" said the emperor before the army responded.
Speed's greatest enemy was space itself, with their army, spread off, there would be a much lesser casualty. Though he hated the human, he was not a fool, he was an emperor. The one that experienced wars after wars.
"One hour, two hours, one day, one week, I can entertain you until then," said the emperor before he crossed his arms. The battle was already his to win. It was only a test of time.
"Heh, act all tough, but you only got four days before the Golden Dragons arrived," sneered Lyon to the emperor's furrowed eyebrows.
"You think you have time on your side, but really, will I ran out of fuel first, or will the Golden Dragons disappointed at the state of your empire. Heh, look around you, your buildings are destroyed, your roads are filled with the corpses of your army. Your empire is not in its best shape dear emperor."
The emperor took a breath as he closed his eyes, "You're right..."
Suddenly the atmosphere surrounding them turned heavy as the dragon lady immediately pulled Lyon away.
"You're right, I cannot waste any more time, It's been a while since I activated my bloodline to this extent."
Lyon furrowed his eyebrows before he muttered, "What is he doing?"
The dragon lady gulped her saliva, "I-I think you will know..."
The emperor roared as a blinding light came out from his figure and illuminated the world in a flash.
Lyon blocked the light with his hand before they subsided and he took a look at what had become of the emperor.
He smirked, "Never thought that I would experience the story of a knight saving a princess from a dragon firsthand."
