Emperor's Reckoning

A resounding growl was heard before it turned into a wail of dissipating cry. The Remnant stood no chance with Graham covering their advances. It was nothing more than stomping a few ants for him. 

"How many times does that make?" asked Lyon. "Seven? Eight?"

"Eight," nodded Kesya. 

Lyon raised his eyebrows looking at her. He never thought that she would be the one counting the numbers.. 

"Are we not there yet?" asked Lyon toward the beauty in front of him.

"Not yet, but we are close," said Cecile before she suddenly stopped her steps. She pointed out forward against a hill, "Just beyond that hill."

Lyon let out a sigh as he saw the pathway was going upward. Going to the new realm, he didn't think that it would be on foot. He had tried to fly but there was no mana in this place, no energy source whatsoever. Magic was immediately annulled along with the manipulation from art.

He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows before he pointed forward, "Look, over there. That is not a lesser Remnant now is it?"

The figure he was pointing against was vividly having a figure and a structure compared to the ones they faced so far. It was fully fledged a being that could be recognized.

"That's a golem," said Cecile with a smile on her face.

The word immediately made Priscila open her eyes wide.

(Golem?!) shouted Priscila inwardly.

"Golem?!" muttered Yunesia. "That Golem? The being that was entirely made out of stones? Their race actually existed?"

"What makes you so surprised? Look, it's coming this way," said Cecile as the Remnant growled.

"Golem growls?" commented Lyon as he raised his eyebrows. He looked at the lower jaw was wider than the upper and its eyes were bright golden. However, it was only a hollow silhouette of the real thing.

The Remnant immediately leaped forward with a momentum that could break the space. The loud spark from its stone feet leaving the black grass was deafening. 

(Fast!) thought Lyon as he never thought something that looks that heavy could actually move that fast. (But) Lyon smirked.

Graham immediately stood right in front of Cecile. His towering figure even came toe to toe with the incoming Remnant.

However, the Remnant immediately shifted by using its foot as a pivot then altered its direction with two quick succession movements.

(Lyon!) Cecile looked over to see the hollowed ghost coming for Lyon. She was a decoy all along.

Lyon raised his eyebrows at the incoming Remnant but albeit the surprise that he felt, he crossed his arms instead. 

Just before the Remnant could graze his skin, a huge tearing claw came from above. Her golden black hair fluttered before she destroyed the Remnant along with its soul in one single momentum. 

At that one split of a second in real-time. Her killing intent erupted so much that the soul was frozen in place.

"A-Amazing," muttered Ayumu before she asked her father, "Did you see that father?"

Garuda was having cold sweat as he nodded. (What kind of absurd training do you have to endure to be able to achieve something like that so casually?!) not even his imagination could handle the training program.

"Are you okay?" asked Lyon.

"Eh? That should be my question, my lord," said Kesya as she tilted her head. 

It was hard to believe that this kind of woman would be a general of a powerhouse army. However, in that split second, everyone would never doubt her status.

"We keep going," said Cecile as she led the party once more. "Mother, you take a good look just now right?" she smiled.

Priscila courted their eyes before she replied with a nod. "En."

Jin furrowed his eyebrows. Seeing the unusual atmosphere between the mother and her daughter. She nudged her elbow, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Nothing, moving on," said Priscila as she refused to tell what's really happening. She didn't tell her husband why they were going to this foreign land in the first place.

Jin twitched his eyebrows but accepted it as it is. However, it took him one step before Cecile halted her steps.

"We got a lot of uninvited hosts here," said Cecile before she turned up a smile. She cracked her knuckle before she activated the True Dragon form.

"Kesya left flank!"

"Yes!"

"Graham right flank!"

"Understood!"

"Assid, protect them."

"Certainly Empress!"

Then her tone changed as she spoke to Lyon, "Dearest, mind helping me?"

"Do you need to ask?" Lyon smiled before he stepped forward and stood side by side with his wife.

His eyes immediately turned a golden glow before the vibrant tails menacingly challenged the surfacing Remnants.

Lyon took a deep breath at the unknown nostalgia that he was feeling right now.

"Go."

He opened his sharped eyes before Graham and Kesya leaped at the same time.

"W-Wait a minute?! We are not defending?!" exclaimed Ayumu who had her common sense challenged.

Jin and the others understood her train of thoughts. It was wise to stick close together and slowly hold them off. However, how long could they do it was a different matter.

"Defending against them would be futile and a waste of time," said Assid. "They are nothing but Remnants there is nothing to be gained in fighting them, killing them is still the best option."

"Lyon!" shouted Cecile as they ran forward toward the swarm of Remnants.

"Huh?"

"Throw me!"

"Heh," Lyon grinned before he grabbed her waist. Making a half spin. 

"Go!!" shouted Lyon as he let go of his grip.

Cecile bolted forward with a True Dragon momentum following her trail. 

*Boom!!

A loud blast was soon heard before the lesser Remnants was indefinitely dispersed. Leaving the full-fledged Remnants scattered from the center of the explosion. 

She stood at the center of the newly made crater. Feeling the glares and the shallow killing intent against her she smiled, before a hundred of Lyon landed at the edge of the crater.

All of Lyon's copy was smirking against the growling golem ghosts.
