Chapter 321: 321: The Destruction He Left

"Hmm..... First, the invisible neighing horses, the second you know, the human side suddenly formed a reformation against their queen and princes. Emperor Yoji got his position back and the demi-humans on that side are immediately freed of slavery. They were on the way to reconstruct their corrupted system. One thing to note was number IX is dead by the hand of someone known as the Black Knight, however, he was already beaten to a pulp before, and of course, the name, Lyon Torga is mentioned.

"Apparently Emperor Yoji admitted that Lyon IS HIS EMPEROR. This needed more thorough investigation since it's not possible? And now... Honestly, what the fuck is happening in this world?! Who the fuck are you Lyon Torga?!"

The number one assassin in Abyss Tower shouted at the top of his lung against the sky that was rumbled with cracks. The lightning inside the spatial storm randomly peeked through it as fear was instilled in anyone who took a glance against it. One zap of that thing, and even their mother won't recognize their corpse.

"Hah," he let out a sigh before he continued with a sorrowful tone, "At least, the dagger is in good hands."

*plop

The assassin darted his glance to the source of the sound before he closed his eyes in mourning. It was a white gooey thing that smells bad. A bird shit.

"Hah, hah, hah, I don't think the restoration could be done anytime soon."

The bird flapped his wings away from the place. A bunch of mediocre assassins was falling on their butt on the sands. Some of their masks were snapped in half while others were a touch away from revealing their faces. All of them had their eyes in disbelief as their pupils shrunk at the sight of the proud tower. One of them gulped their saliva as he saw rubble fell down against the dunes. 

"You're kidding right, there is no way right," muttered the mediocre assassin.

"No matter how many times I slapped my face, it is real, we or at least I am not under an illusion technique," said another.

"But that's Abyss Tower!"

The number one assassin jumped and stood beside them before he took a deep breath, "Sadly, now, it is only called Abyss."

The once renowned Abyss Tower was now turned into rubble in under a minute. There was nothing sort of tower right in front of their eyes, only a destroyed ancient building. They saw it within their very pupils and the thumping of their hearts when the rupture was happening. With the roar of a magnificent beast, it was soon followed by the destruction of their symbols. Never that they could think this was how the Abyss Tower would end. A single deafening roar shattered the world as they knew it.

------------

"Magnificent!"

Yoji shouted in awe with glimmers in his eyes. He stood tall and heavy like steel while the others below him were scared shitless and sit on their butt. The spatial storm was made at random places in the sky and Malik was panting with his sweat profusing on his forehead as he looked down. 

"Hah, hah, hah," his heart was thumping at the verge of exploding.

"Don't you think that he is befitting to be my emperor?" sneered Yoji as he looked at Malik.

Malik smiled wryly as he panted but before he could answer he noticed that someone else rose from the ground.

Yoji smiled as he looks at the one coming, "Look's like, you need a new armor there, Black Knight."

Reich stood silent before he slightly nodded with closed eyes. His armor was cracking away and pieces after pieces fell. It was a proud armor that was his identity, everyone knew him not by his real name but by the armor. The Black Knight, a symbol of just and law. However, Black Mythril was nothing but a thin glass against the exploding roar.

"Hmm... but, this is quite still far from his best."

"Are you kidding me?" asked Malik with a wry smile.

"Y-Your Majesty, surely you are boasting... right? RIGHT?" asked Reich with his lips twitching.

The world had been shattered, the sky was not the sky they knew anymore. The lightning inside the spatial storm was licking its way. Even the powerful nature couldn't heal it in a short amount of time like closing a zipper. Yet, this was not his best. The notion alone stumped their imagination.

"Boasting? That was more like an understatement hahaha!"

Malik and Reich looked at each other as Yoji laughed before the latter's eyes turned sharp, "There was one time when he fought an ancient, very very ancient demon, oh I remember it vividly. He brought down the sun."

"Oh c'mon, that's just over the top, there is no way one could destroy the sun!" said Malik.

"Oh no, he didn't destroy the sun," smiled Yoji, "He  brought down the sun."

"What... what do you mean?" asked Malik even though he knew deep down what the meaning was. There was no way his heart could take and believe that it was possible.

"Heh, I leave that to your imagination," said Yoji with a smirk as he turned around.

He still could feel the flare that was presented in front of his eyes when he was a youth.

"You demons all talk shit about being cold and bloodthirsty! Yet you dare to set your eyes on my women?! Be damned with your world! Eat the very thing heaven created and scream my name in your death!"

----------------------------

Meanwhile, the island where Lyon met his first demi-humans in this world.

The island was broken into seven unequal parts as none of the buildings that stood on top of it survived the rupturing. The guildhall that was the heart of the island was the last victim as one dangling rubble fell to the ground with debris.

"T-Thank you human, err I'm sorry, I didn't quite know your name yet," said the leader wolfman with his head bowing against an old man who was standing in front of the twins.

"Oh you don't need to thank me, hohoho, you can just call me old man just like he did."

"B-but,"

"No, but!"

"Err, okay, oi elf, say thank you."

"Hmph! Be grateful that you mana—"

The leader immediately pushed his face down to the ground before embedding in with the island itself. 

"T-Thank you..." muttered the elf before he lost consciousness.

"Hohoho, you guys are a fun bunch, but I guess, it's time for us three to go meet Lyon," said the old man before his feet left the soil.

"We, we can give you a boat..er... never mind," said the leader wolfman with a wry smile. 

There was no boat that survived the roar that they thought came from heaven itself.

"Hahaha! I would like to visit you lot in the future, but for now, this is a fond farewell."

The old man grabbed the collar of the twins before the three of them vanished in the blink of an eye.

The leader wolfman looked at the horizon at which they flew before shaking his head, "What a nightmarish old man, I couldn't even feel the depth of his cultivation level."

----------------------------

The queen opened her eyes with a painful sharp ring inside her head. She gritted her teeth as she pushed her ears from both sides before rolling back and forth with a scream. Gradually the sharp noise subsided before she let go of her hands with a panting breath to follow. Her eyes opened wide as she saw blood on her palms.

She activated her bloodline the moment her silvery wings sprout from the back. Though the pain in her body was stinging she struggle it through and with a flap, she left the ground to the sky.

Her eyes gradually expanded as she took a good long clear look at her empire, her island. The proud capital of demi-humans.

"Destroyed.... everything is destroyed..." she murmured.

Their empire now looked more like a ruin as the island broke into twelve unequal parts. The planes under it shifted up and down as no building could be seen standing anymore. However, her lips quivered as she looked at the center of a huge crater.

A huge Jade Dragon lay with his eyes opened wide in disbelief. Half of his skin and muscles were shredded by the roar as steam coming out of it. The very same huge being that everyone feared just a moment ago, was now crippled to the ground. His pair of wings, though still attached, had no capability to fly anymore as it was shredded like paper.

The queen stood beside it with her teeth biting her bottom lips in dismay. Suddenly the Jade Dragon eyes moved to look at her.

"I know you won't die that easily," muttered the queen as she knelt down on both knees.

However, unbeknownst to both of them, none of them could hear what the queen was saying.
