Chapter 317: 317: Revenge Over Pain

Lyon's vertical pupils gazed upon Julius and the rest of the army beyond the balcony like a hunter. 

"W-what the hell?" All of them could see that mana surrounding Lyon's figure turned green jade as they ride on his skin.

Julius blinked before his eyes opened wide in horror as an opened hand was about to grab his face.

(Shit!) thought the emperor as Lyon leaped away from right in front of his eyes. He was too busy grasping reality before reality woke him up in a cruel way.

The queen could only move her pupils to the side and saw Lyon reaching out for her son's face before the latter pushed him forward and broke the wind.

*bang

The balcony's ledge was destroyed before Lyon pushed him to the ground. The road crackled as the beautiful paving way was destroyed as Lyon kept pushing him against it.

"Julius!" shouted the queen before a shimmering light flashed right before her eyes.

"Ngh?!" 

Thankfully her quick-witted nature was proven to be useful as she dodged it with her reflex. Her bloodline ignited as she spread her wings and furrowed her eyebrows against the attacker.

"It pains me to withdraw my sword against you, my daughter. I didn't raise you to be a rebel!"

"How coincidental, I didn't feel a thing when I drew my sword against you," said the dragon lady with a smirk on her face.

"Looks like I need to put you on the ground again!"

"You got lucky last time!" said the dragon lady before she spread her wings that was more magnificent and wider than hers.

*clank

The two swords met a couple of times as the whooshing sounds were all the commoners could hear besides the sound of slamming metal against one another. Before they knew it, a couple of seconds later, the two swords were at a stalemate against one another.

Though there was a slight sweat and her breath was a little panting, the queen still kept her superior emotion in check.

"L-looks like you have improved over the years."

"And you have dulled," the dragon lady smirked.

"Huh?"

Suddenly many cuts were made on her skin before blood sipping out of it. Her cheeks, her arms, and part of her clothes were cut clean before some of them dyed red.

The emperor looked down and saw Julian's spine was vividly broken as his figure deformed. Though a Godhood cultivator wouldn't die that easily, they won't heal that fast either. It was obvious that his son had passed out from the pain of getting his wings ripped and torn off of him. 

He looked up against his daughter before he asked, "Why don't you tell me that he is a True Dragon?"

The dragon lady chuckled, "I did warn you before didn't I? 'You don't know who you are talking about.' but you wouldn't believe me, besides he is a human through and through."

"But it was obvious that he had the blessing of a race that dwelled in Heaven, not to mention a True Dragon that was never fond of the human race or any of the other races for that matter," said the emperor with a grimaced face.

"That's not even the tip of the iceberg," muttered the dragon lady before she made her next move against the emperor.

She gracefully glides and made the wind her allies as she trusted her sword toward his chest. The emperor casually dodge to the side before he muttered, "Do you think it would be that easy?"

"You can't beat the two of us, the ones that raised you," muttered the emperor.

The dragon lady gritted his teeth, "Indeed, however, you never raised me as a daughter, you raised me as a tool, nothing but a plant waiting to be harvested!"

"Why can't you see the greater picture?!" shouted the emperor as he lost his composure.

"Why can't you see me!" shouted the dragon lady looked at him with disappointment and the intention to kill.

"That's not a tone you use against your own father! Hah!" The queen swung her sword against her before the latter quickly dodge it with a flap of her wings.

She landed her feet against the balcony ledge before she looked at both of them. She looked down before pointing her sword against them.

"AAARGH! AAAAH! AAAAAAAAH! Leave me alone! Leave me!"

A scream of agony was heard before the emperor woke up from his stupor. It was Julius's scream of agony, the same kind of what his brother did moments ago.

"You two will not be going anywhere," muttered the dragon lady.

"I might can't handle the two of you, but if one of you leave, the stay one wouldn't survive."

The emperor laughed, "Looks like you need to know more about battle."

He looked up to the swarm of army above in the sky before ordering them.

"All forces, stop that man and aid the prince!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! You've heard him! Let's go!" the swarm of demi-humans glided down against Lyon who put Julius in the same position as his brother.

"Aaargh! Aaargh!"

A giant was the one leading in front of the rest as he brought a giant hammer before slamming it down against Lyon's head with the entire strength that he had.

*bang.

The loud impact reverberated the island before Julius didn't feel his wings being pulled. The atmosphere turned silent before he began to smile.

"Heh, hehehe, hahaha! Now you got nowhere to run! It's over for you, human! HAHAHAHA!"

His laugh was heard by the entire inhabitants of the island even the fishes in the sea. However, his eyes opened wide as his ears jerked after hearing a deep voice full of killing intent.

"After what you said to my woman, do you think you would live?"

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows as veins popped on his forehead and both of his forearms. He gritted his teeth before he began pulling the wings harder than before.

"Aargh! Aaaaargh!!! AAAAA!!!"

Julius resumed his scream of agony as the veins in his neck strained due to the stress on his vocal chord.

The giant opened his eyes in disbelief before he punched Lyon in the face with all of his might.

"Get away from the prince!"

The fist landed a clean hit on his face with a bang, but none of his bones were broken. He didn't budge even though his nose started to bleed.

"What the fuck..." muttered the giant. He never ever met someone that could take a hit from his fist without even budging by a little. 

"Aaargh! Stop him! Stop him!!"

The giant and the rest woke from the stupor before the former rear-choked held Lyon's neck and try to pull him away from the prince while the rest launched an attack against his torso and arms.

One of the dwarfs ran and swung his ax against Lyon's left arm before the weapon snapped in half to his disbelief. The dwarves took pride in their blacksmithing works and were uncontested in the quality of their weapons but he stumbled fall as he saw his pride was snapped by a bare arm.

The others immediately follow through and used whatever weapon they had on Lyon however it didn't bring a much effective result. 

*shred

"Aaargh!!"

Julius screamed as the tendons that connected his wings to his back started to tear and blood churned out against Lyon's bare torso. 

The giant opened his eyes wide before he roared and bent his back forward to use all of the muscles in his giant body. (Mad! What mad tenacity!) screamed the giant as he pushed Lyon's head with the other hand to choke him.

The other giant picked up the hammer before slammed it down toward his head.

*bang

The giant hammer was destroyed as blood finally ran down and covered Lyon's face. However, Julius's screamed turned even more intense as the wings were half thorn. His consciousness went in and out as each tendon was plugged out.

Not once did Lyon blink as he pulled the wings. His figure had been attacked from all sort of directions yet he still preserved. Even with his neck being choked, nothing could stop him now.

"Raaaa!!!"

Lyon roared like the True Dragon itself as the giant's eardrum exploded in an instant before the latter's eyes lost focus. All demi-humans in the island had their bloodline trembled in fear. The instinctive nature of an animal kicked in.

He gritted his teeth before he pulled the wings in one last motion. All of the tendons were ripped as blood churned out from Julius's back. 

Standing on top of the unconscious prince, the young man took a slow breath. The proud soldiers of the demi-humans couldn't stand at their own feet as all of their mouths went agape at the sight. Even with their massive numbers they still couldn't stop him from brutally ripping off the prince's wings.

The pair symbol of royalty was in Lyon's hands and blood was dripping from them before he threw it away. He opened his right hand as a torrent of green jade mana coagulated and condensed on top of his palm.

(Kill him... He is going to kill him!) thought the army of demi-humans before the emperor and his wife opened his eyes wide.

The emperor didn't even think that the human would have the power to gather such a massive mass of mana. A Divine Realm cultivator couldn't kill A Godhood Realm cultivator, it was the law of the cultivation world. It was simply impossible without special items or sorts. However, seeing what it's in his palm even his body trembled.

Lyon's bare feet slowly float from Julius's back before he was at the height where Lyon could see the emperor and his wife that could do nothing but watch as the dragon lady kept them at bay. He took a glance before he descended down.

"NOOO!" screamed the emperor as he leaped forward.

"True Dragon Art: Palm of Shattering World!"

Not only the roar of a dragon was heard, but the image of a True Dragon was also so vivid like it couldn't be discerned from reality itself as it coiled around his arm.

"Die!"

A loud boom was issued from the blast as the surrounding demi-humans were propelled by it.
