138 It is finally awake!

Sylver was battling against the Empress, contending her with his usage of the scythe and the magical flames that was surrounding his scythe. For every clash they had Sylver's smile would only grow, as he was getting a better knowledge about her strength and power.

The Four Founders were stalled and pushed back by the snake, the snake wouldn't allow anyone to get near its master whilst he was fighting. The snake was hissing loudly, threatening the Four Founders to not get any closer.

And surprisingly, Salazar was the one to back away first. "Don't get near it, I have no idea what 'that' is, it may look like a snake and hiss like one, but it isn't a snake…" He was very careful towards the enormous snake because he couldn't get a grasp of what it was as he could control snakes.

"Humph!" Godric snorted before speaking. "Should we let the newcomer fight against the Empress? We could easily get to them and kill both of them in one fell swoop!"

A violent killing intent surrounded the Four Founders as a hissing noise sounded out in the air. The snake was glaring at Godric as it had heard him speaking of killing its master.

But before the snake could act, a person slapped Godric, and that woman was Rowena. She hurriedly spoke loudly towards the snake. "Do not worry, we will not go after your master or partner. We won't act as long as you don't act against us first." Rowena then sharply gazed at Godric as she knew that he was a muscle brained wizard that only thought of going first in battles and hopeless situations.

The Four Founders stopped in their tracks, but they kept gazing towards the heating battle between the Empress and the 'master' of the snake.

Izan continued to fight against the Empress with a grin, he kept getting injured, but his body was healing itself throughout the fight too. The longer Izan fought, the more he was sure of that he could win because he could sense that the Empress was getting angrier by each failed attack. And if he could make the Empress angry enough, she would have no way to see Defying coming to ambush her.

Dodging one attack after the other one, Izan kept dodging and counter-attacking for a long time. Over half an hour passed by swiftly before the Empress couldn't take it any longer.

"You Maggot! How dare you to dodge like a coward! Fight this Empress like a Man!" The Empress roared out towards Izan, her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her fingers were twitching in anger.

Izan shook his head with a grin on his face, he had sweat running down his body, but he simply didn't care about that. "You're an Empress? And I'm the maggot? Who do you honestly think you are?" Izan kept talking as he dodged and attacked the Empress. "Let me show you something, the reason why I'm born as the Emperor!" Izan's voice slowly turned deep as his eyes squinted slightly, he slowly released his Conqueror's Haki and aimed it towards the Empress.

The Empress froze for a brief moment, but that brief moment was more than enough as a small shadow appeared behind the Empress, and the very next moment, a bloodied hand came out of the Empress's chest.

Izan gazed at Defying who was standing behind of the Empress with an emotionless expression as she had her hand stabbed through the Empress's chest. Defying was only coldly gazing at the Empress, she disliked it very much when someone called her master something less than an Emperor.

As the Empress was slightly dazed by this, Izan's voice sounded out once again. "The reason I'm the Emperor is that I am surrounded by people that guides me and helps me. I am not alone, nor will I ever be alone, the strength of the Emperor isn't only himself, my strength comes from the ones I trust!" A small smirk appeared on Izan's voice as he spoke rudely towards the Empress. Because that is one of the huge differences between him and the Empress, the Empress was all alone, whereas Izan had a group behind him that would always guide and help him.

Blood gushed out of the Empress's mouth, but the very next moment, her body vanished and she appeared not too far away. Her skin was pale and she had blood coming out from her gaping hole in her chest and a trace of blood from her lips. Yet she didn't scream or let out a noise, she only coldly gazed at both Defying and Izan. She was surprised and wary of Defying as she hadn't seen her or sensed her till the moment Defying had stabbed her from behind.

"Strength of a team? Bullshit! It all starts with that, but no matter what, you will end up all alone! The only strength that matters is yours!" The Empress rudely spoke back towards Izan as she was staring into his eyes. "You think that your little helper will always help you? Because in the end, it doesn't matter as she will stab you in the back! You need to know one thing, no matter how hard you try to keep her, she will be out of your reach in the future!" There was a glint that went through her eyes as she spoke of this, yet her voice was ice-cold as she was stating all of this to Izan.

Izan stood there, not saying anything for a good dozen seconds. He didn't say anything, but the gravity changed drastically, Izan began floating off the ground, flying higher up, he was around fifty meters above the ground, and he was staring down at the Empress with a cold glint in his eyes. "It must have been hard on you, losing the trust of the ones you believed in, right?" Izan didn't allow her to answer as he continued to speak. "As you said, in the end, my strength has to reach the top, right? You don't have to worry about that, because, it will…!" Izan's voice was slightly deeper than usual and his expression was calm.

As Izan was saying this, the sky got cleared away from any clouds, and the gravity of the area increased to almost a hundred times, making everyone other than Defying and the snake to fall towards the ground, even the Empress couldn't stand on the air.

And high up in the sky, behind Izan, an enormous shadow appeared it seemed to be huge as a mountain. But that shadow moved slightly before it 'opened' up, and what appeared was an eye, the eye was coloured silver and the pupil was red. With the appearance of this eye, it seemed like that the ground was being turned into dust, the sky was cleared away, and even the surrounding hundred kilometres suffered from this ordeal.
