Emperor's Reckoning

"I don't know why she acts like that, but don't think you can survive my onslaught," said Biane as she waved 'Santana' effortlessly, "I'm a lot stronger than her."

*cheer

The crowd definitely looking forward to this battle because of Biane's fine skill in destruction art. Wherever she fight, that place would get wrecked like a monster just run wild.

"What do you think about this battle?" said one of the newbie.

"Hmm hard to say, Lyon is definitely quick enough to dodge Clemora's barrage of thrust, but Biane is not just fast, her skill could spread to the whole ring," said one of the onlooker.

Suddenly the air flow on the ring was changing, however, before Lyon had time to notice this, Biane already began her first attack.

Biane slashed her greatsword without even moving half a step forward and the wind was helping her creating a slash almost invisible to the naked eye.

*slash

Sensing the incoming danger, Lyon quickly dodged to the side to avoid the invisible slash while leaving a piece of his hair.

*boom

The slash continued and embedded itself to a nearby wall.

*cheer

The crowd was in the high mood after seeing the first slash.

"He got lucky!" said the newbie.

"Maybe, but Biane wouldn't stop with just one attack, she is a brutal lady." said an expert with a sigh.

*slash

The second slash was coming and so was the third right behind it. Lyon had no time to relax and started to jump around the ring.

(I cannot keep this up, there must be a way) thought Lyon.

*slash

The next wave of attacks came and there was more invisible slash than before. (Goddamnit! Is there really no interval at all when she launched the art?)

Lyon's eyes manage to steal a glance at a gasping Biane while he jumped around.

(I see! I've been dodging the wrong way)

Then when the next wave of attacks came, Lyon did the unthinkable to the crowd. He launched himself toward the invisible slash.

"Is he crazy?!" said one of the onlookers.

"Do he want to die or something?!" said another.

The crowd definitely stupefied by Lyon's stunt because jumping right into the enemy's attack was the stupidest thing a cultivator could do.

Biane squinted her eyes at his action, (Did he figure it out?)

(Now!) Lyon jumped forward just right before the slash made contact with his clothes and saw the second attack behind it. Just as his toes touch the ground, Lyon spun himself to the side to dodge the second attack. Surprisingly, the third attack was also dodged at the same time.

"What?! How did he do that?!" said one of the newbies.

"Fascinating, he is truly a skillful cultivator, he must be seeing the weakness of Biane's attack." said a careful onlooker.

(Hehe, I was right. Her slash was never an area skill art, the moment she gasps for breath I know there was something fishy about her slashes. There is a reason why she never moves from that spot!)

(Her art was a slash that will change direction according to the target's distance, hence she threw the first attack to make me jumped further from her)

(In other words, her slash had a motion of being linear first before moving in the direction according to the way Biane slashed. The further I am from her, the more limited space I could dodge to, making me either get out of the ring or accept injuries) thought Lyon.

"I see, so you did figure it out," said Biane with a tinge of a smile.

Lyon wasted no time and launched at Biane to avoid her meddlesome arts. However, his movements became slower and slower as he approached her. There was a strong wind current crashing onto Lyon's body like a tidal wave.

(This woman is really, really meddlesome.) thought Lyon.

*slash

Biane threw a strong slash from her greatsword making Lyon blown back a few steps. Although his sword was not even half the size of 'Santana' it's still could withstand some serious attack.

"Don't blame me for this," said Lyon as he gathered energies for his spell.

"Hmph! Bring it on, I will wait until you cast the spell, that way you will lose willingly," said Biane with a haughty manner.

"Don't regret it," smiled Lyon.

With a slick motion of his right hand, he wrote the spell, 'Buff spell, Agility boost!'. The rainbow-colored spell caused an awe to the crowd's eyes. No matter what, a rainbow-colored spell was still considered rare, even if it was a basic spell.

*zing

Lyon's body flashed for a second, but nothing had changed.

"Is that it?" asked a newbie.

"In my observation, the spell was executed perfectly so it's already in effect, but I don't know what does it do," said a dejected observer.

Biane was not a rash person, she also knew the spell was executed perfectly.

(Buff spell? I never heard of it before, where is this young man from?) so many questions popped up in Biane's head.

Kyoko however, could see the difference on Lyon's body using her red eye. His body had a faint green glow surrounding him.

"Try attacking me again," taunted Lyon.

*slash

Biane quickly attacked Lyon with her slash before Lyon could even take another breath.

But her slash was slower than before in Lyon's eyes.

*dodge

With the same movement, he dodged through the attacks and closing into Biane once again.

"Useless!" shouted Biane with a swing of her sword, attempting to blow Lyon once more.

(There it is!) Lyon now could react fast enough to dodge the slash.

*slash

*dodge

Lyon squatted and let the slash went above his head.

"Yeah!" the boys were ecstatic seeing their hero could dodge Biane's quick slash. Nobody had ever done that feat before in North region.

*jump

Lyon launched himself at Biane's vulnerable state after swinging the greatsword.

Seeing the incoming Lyon, she closed her eyes preparing for the pain she was about to receive.

*slash

(Eh? I didn't feel any pain ... in fact, it might be the other way around) thought Biane as she tried to peek open her eyes.

Lyon's face was literally buried on those magical things. The slash from Lyon was only to open up her cleavage.

"Hehe.." mumbled Lyon pervertedly.

Biane's face was instantly turned red of embarrassment.
