Chapter 316: Revelation

The dragon lady opened her eyes before raising one of her eyebrows. She let go of her embrace and turned around to face his brother, Julian.

Julian smirked before he crossed his arms, "You might fool my father and brother but you can't fool me."

The dragon lady immediately drew her sword, there was no hesitation in her eyes as she looked at her own brother's eyes. The shimmering light of her weapon was ready to take his life before the latter instinctively took a step back.

"Wait a minute sister!"

"You still dare to call me sister?"

Julian gulped his saliva down as his neck was only a push away before being penetrated by her sword. It was quite obvious that he was no match against her if she was serious. 

"Speak Julius," said Lyon as he patted her shoulder as a gesture to withdraw her sword.

The dragon lady, though slightly irritated, she put her sword away from his neck.

"T-thank you," said Julian before he took a sigh breath of relief before he furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Lyon, "and my name is not Julius, my name is Julian."

"Whatever man," Lyon shrugged his shoulder, "what you wanna talk about?"

(This guy, doesn't he know what situation he is in right now?) thought Julian. He was practically holding him hostage by having the information of his whereabouts, yet he was nonchalant about the fact.

(Peak Divine Realm... he is on the borderline between Godhood and a Divine. That is what you want me, unprepared opposers, to believe right? Hahaha, what a devil in disguise) thought Julian. He knew that he was now standing against two beings that could very well obliterate the island he was standing on right now. The more he thought about it, the more his soul was shaken.

Lyon crossed his arms and put front his chest as he smirked, "If you think that giving out my position will be your best bargaining chip, then," his eyes turned sharp before it turned a golden yellow.

Julian suddenly saw an image of a giant monkey with a ripped body. Its divine muscle was apparent as four banners were carried on his back. It was sitting on top of a giant boulder with one of his legs up, staring him down with a smirk on its face. It wore armor of that of a warlord as he could see four giant tails floating around his back.

"B-but I'm a dragon..."

No matter how many times he was talking to himself not to give in to the pressure, all of it was for naught. Against the image alone his bloodline was shrinking in quality, trembled beneath its feet. 

"What are you doing Julian?" said Lyon as he smiled.

"Hah?!" Julian opened his eyes wide as he was panting. He could see the sweat dropping off from his face and hit the floor. (What? I'm... kowtowing?) thought Julian. He didn't even realize what he was doing before Lyon's voice woke him up to reality.

He gritted his teeth before putting one knee in front and got up. Between his panting breath he said, "Sorry, I lost myself there."

"You sure did," said Lyon with a chuckle.

He was irritated by Lyon's behavior but what could he do. Showing a displeased face was the farthest he could go.

"Can you tell me what are you going to do here?" asked Julian.

He knew his question was out of the line. How could someone ask their enemies, their plan? However, he got no choice but to ask. Within four days' time, there was no way for him to come up with a counter plan against Lyon.

"Are you crazy?" asked Lyon with a chuckle.

"Do I have a choice?" said Julian.

Lyon laughed, "Hahaha, fair enough."

He turned his back on Julian before he muttered, "I just came here passed out three days ago before your father put me on a cross. Humiliated me in front of your people. That same guy put me on an execution order before I could open my eyes."

Though his back was presented right in front of him, Julian didn't dare to do anything foolish. The man could force himself and speak to his mind, if he could kill him by stabbing his heart from the back, that would be the greatest joke around.

"Revenge?"

"That one is unnegotiable," said Lyon before he turned around, "however, the fact that I waited for four more days was just because to prove him a point."

The dragon lady raised her eyebrows before Julian asked, "What point?"

"First of all, fear, in the next four days, your father will feel afraid. Looking up and down, left and right, in every direction he could see, but he will not found me. My presence will haunt him in his sleep and with that, her wife which is your mother will be undeniably afflicted by your father's behavior."

"Who am I, where I'm from, surely he would look at all of that info. 'A human is capable of such power' that saying will ring in his mind. He would finally take a second look at the human side of the world."

"However, I must applaud your bravery, Julian."

Julian raised his eyebrows before he heard the next words that coming out of Lyon's mouth.

"It took massive balls to act in front of me to lure time," Lyon's eyes turned sharp before Julian's pupils shrunk in fear. 

Time seemed to slow down as he felt his body turned heavy in just turning around. He immediately activated his bloodline as wings sprout out of his back.

"Fa—!!"

Lyon grabbed the back of his head before slamming it down to the ground as blood immediately spurted out. His face was broken as Lyon put his foot on Julian's back and grabbed both of his wings.

"No... No.. No!! No!! Please No!!!" Julian screamed before a gush of wind went past him.

The dragon lady furrowed her eyebrows before she quickly drew her sword and met with a clank. Two figures stood in front of her.

"It's you two," muttered the dragon lady before she continued, "step aside,"

"Aren't you gonna address your own mother?" said the queen with a disgraceful look on her face.

"After pinning down your own daughter? What right do you have to call yourself my mother?" said the lady dragon.

"It's two against one sister, you couldn't win. If only you spent all those time cultivating instead of waiting," said Julius.

"Do you think that I would have the time to cultivate with all of you watching my island closely?"

"Good point," said Julius with a smile.

*tap *tap

Footsteps were heard before the emperor of the demi-humans island presented himself right in front of Lyon who pinned down his son. He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the condition of his son whose some teeth were missing and a broken nose that probably snapped into three. Blood was coming out from his mouth and nose as no glorious prince was imprinted on his figure except for his long jade hair.

"It is over, human, my army had surrounded this place, there is no way to go now," said the emperor as the dragon lady noticed thousands of shadows on the floor but she couldn't glance back and take a risk just to take a look at the massive army because the one in front of her was dangerous enough.

"Give it up sister, you both have lost, I'll tell you what, here is a good idea of mine. Why don't you just procreate with the golden dragon, have a son, gave him to us and you can be with your man forever after and we wouldn't bother you, a dragon's promise!" said Julius with a chuckle to her sister's furrowed eyebrows.

"You disgust—?!"

Lyon raised his leg that pinned Julian down before slamming it down and pulled his wings along with his screams.

"Stay your hand, Human!" shouted the emperor as he launched himself forward. Mana was condensed in his fist before he targeted Lyon's bare stomach that was only covered with a swordsman robe.

"Jade Dragon art: Maul of Jade Dragon!"

The fist sunk in his stomach before a loud boom reverberated through the island upon contact. The swordsman robe immediately shredded to pieces as Lyon's figure bent inward. 

The dragon lady's pupils shrunken in disbelief before killing intent started to surge beyond her soul.

"It's over," muttered the emperor before he slowly retracted his arm and took one final glance at his face.

"Ngh?!"

His soul immediately froze as those jade eyes stared him down. 

With blood escaping his lips, Lyon gritted his teeth before he pulled Julian's wings. The tendons and muscles slowly tore as he screamed in agony. Blood kept churning out before Lyon raised his leg and put all the force he had to slam it down against his back.

"Aaargh! Father! Hel—"

Julian's body immediately sunk in with a loud boom as debris flew out of the balcony. The queen, Julius, and the emperor had their eyes opened wide and their pupils shrank in disbelief. They looked at the dripping blood that was from the pair of wings the young man held in his arms.

Lyon let go of the wings as it dropped to the ground with a thud before turning around and glared at Julius. With his face being splashed by the blood that was not his, he looked at the next target with nothing but death.

Meanwhile, the emperor's words stuck in his throat as he read the tattoo that appeared on Lyon's back.

"T-T-True...Dragon?!"
