Emperor's Reckoning

Explosion after explosion ensued as the two powerhouses went at each other without reserve. The crater in which Sylviana had created from her Black Dragon was further destroyed as little craters were built around it every time the ground trembled.

The martial artist versus the one with blessed talent. The fight of eons was happening and drew a lot of attention from the surrounding Crown winners as each of them watch from a certain distance to avoid being caught up in the storm of the two.

"Crazy, Wind Fist is totally powerful!"

"Kaiju had not broken a sweat yet!"

While some of the Crown winners decide to pause their fight and instead of waiting for the two of them to wear out, the original fisherwoman that was given the right by her powerful older sister was biting her nail. 

(This is a miscalculation! A fight between two greats shouldn't have been this long! Grrr... What to do?) thought Madoku as pondered around and walked back and forth. With her observant eyes, she had pinpointed the position of the other Crown winners hiding among the bushes some even on top of a tree. They were all waiting to eliminate perhaps the strongest of them all. After all, getting rid of two from the Top Boards would be a feat one could dream of. 

(Should I lay in wait even further?) Madoku contemplated (What would older sister do in this situation).

*BOOM!

Another loud explosion ensued as both of them were separated from the impact of the blow. Kaiju's white garb was no longer pure as specks of dirt adorned it without any mercy, while Tusak's martial art clothes were the same. 

"Hahaha, Wind Fist, you are running out of gas any moment now."

The bronze skin, Tusak smiled even though he was starting to pant his breath. Despite the arrogance of his opponent, his eyes were calm and undisturbed by the raging emotion that usually had birth anger inside normal people. 

"I don't deny that I'm running out of stamina but I didn't seek victory when I fought such a capable fighter like yourself," he took a deep breath before smiling, "I seek a breakthrough, either by cultivation level or a rise in my skill."

"Hahaha, I couldn't care less what you or the maggots that are hiding under their beloved wood are thinking right now. I only seek one, and that is to sit on the Throne then advance to Heaven!"

Kaiju's laughter brought about a grim face to the other Crown winners who were laying in wait for an opportunity to strike. They surely knew that Kaiju could felt their presence and the animal in his words were of course referring to nobody else but them. Their gritted teeth meant nothing to the person that was blessed by the Heaven themselves but on the contrary, Tusak shook his head.

"I know you are holding back, Kaiju. If you are not careful, you might opt to lose when it's too late."

Kaiju Loh creased his eyebrows, "What."

His tone turned cold as his veins popped. He couldn't believe the words that come out of the martial artist's mouth that condescended him.

"Lose? Me? Hahaha, what gave you that notion? Do I need to remind you that you are out of breath right now?"

Tusak smiled before he took one step forward and leaped under a split of a second toward the unprepared Kaiju. His right heel was pointing against Heaven's Son's face like a rocket. 

"Hah! Do you think I would fall from the same trick? I will send you to meditation!"

Kaiju flawlessly parry the incoming kick with a slight push of his left forearm before he raised his right elbow and plunged it down toward Tusak's vulnerable body. He strikes it down with a shout before the ground trembled as dust flew all over the surrounding place.

"A perfect hit!"

"But no vortex has formed, Tusak is not losing yet."

Kaiju had his eyebrows arched like a sword before he spat his saliva against the ground. The dust gradually cleared up before the Crown winners could see that there was no figure laying on the ground. 

"Tusak?"

"Where did the Wind Fist go?"

The onlookers looked around before a silhouette could be seen standing on the edge of the crater. The floating eye slightly squinted before the lady behind it, Madoku, looked grim at the outcome of the battle.

"Tch, Wind Fist made a blunder. I don't think that it would be easy to take out both of them at the same time, but I never thought that his ribs would be deformed in one attack despite the enhancement and muscular look of his figure."

Kaiju turned a smirk as he crossed his arms while turning his glance against the person standing on the edge of the crater. His right ribs were obviously broken despite the muscular look he had transformed into. 

"You don't look so good there Tusak."

Tusak remained calm and despite the condescending tone from Heaven's Son. Under the latter's proud laugh, he suddenly punched the air in the direction of where Kaiju was standing.

"Hahaha, huh?!"

An invisible gale of wind suddenly crept up toward him like a horizontal tornado before hitting his disbelieving face with a force that could uproot a forest. His figure was propelled and destroyed by a couple of trees before stopping with his body embedded. His nose was broken as his face turned bitter. His eyes opened wide in rage before he spat out blood to the ground.

"A hit!"

"There it is! The Wind Fist!"

Madoku turned up a smile as her mouth point upward. (They are finally going to get serious, it's time to accumulate mana for the spell) thought the High Witch before closing her eyes and concentrate her mind toward the surrounding mana. With how the fierce battle going on between the two powerhouses, she went all out in absorbing the mana without being subtle.

"YOU DARE!" Kaiju shouted before he leaped out with a sonic boom as his short red hair fluttered.

Tusak's eyes remained calm as he took a deep breath and held he inhale before converting the surrounding mana into his own weapon as he muttered.

"Wind Fist Art: Fan Barrage of Gale!"

With his leg embedded to the ground, he was standing like a pillar despite his deformed chest from the blow he suffered before. His punches against the air almost made the shadow lost in speed to keep up as a deafening sound that broke the sound barrier ensued.

"What?!"

Kaiju opened his eyes wide before he could feel multiple tornadoes were heading straight against him in a wide area. With his feet not touching the ground, he had no way to dodge the incoming attack. He gritted his teeth as he tensed his muscle and crossed both of his arms in front of him to endure the surmounting attack that was an equivalent of a natural disaster.

*BANG!

"Gh! Heavy!"

Kaiju muttered before he felt a splinter on his arms and legs. A variety of cuts adorned his body in random order. The wind felt like a blade before he was pushed back and propelled with a scream. He rolled in the air but Tusak didn't stop his fists from barraging against Heaven's Son. Though his eyes were calm, the aura he exuded was deadly. Not a shred of mercy was located as Kaiju pinballed his way before hitting the same giant tree once more.

"Hah...."

Tusak's whole body permeated out smoke from his pores as his enchanted muscle gradually toned down and turned lean once more, just like before the fight. His breath turned uneven and hard to control before he coughed out blood in between. With his hand slightly covering his deformed chest, he smiled while taking his glance to the front.

All the surrounding trees were destroyed and collapsed. From the top view, one could see fan-shaped destruction. There was no mercy in the technique that he just executed but the price he had to pay was not light either.

He was now vulnerable to the eyes that were waiting behind the bushes. He had given it his all, and with the injury that he had suffered, it was next to impossible to win the Throne. His knees gave up on him before he knelt. 

A figure stood tall with killing intent surmounting Tusak's figure. The latter knew who he was without even seeing his face. 

"You are really strong, Kaiju."

With blood running from the edge of his mouth, Tusak smiled before facing up and saw the fuming anger imprinted on Kaiju's face. His clothes were no longer clean and his eyebrows arched like a sword. However, much like him, he was not coming out of the battle unscathed.

Kaiju pointed his right arm to the sky before mana started gathering around his fist. Tusak was a fish on a chopping board and Kaiju was the cook. 

"Heh," Tusak smiled, "You win."

Kaiju raised his eyebrows before he watched the vortex sucked out his opponent under his shrunken pupils. His right arm trembled before the veins inside his body popped from the blood rush.

"TUUUUUSSSAAAAAAAKKKK!"

He screamed at the top of his lung toward the sky.

"Divine Magic..."

"Huh?!"

He raised his eyebrows as a grand rainbow magic brand formed right on top of his figure. It was half the size of the whole forest and the Crown winner froze at the sight.

"Ice... Meltdown!"

Madoku's eyes lit up after she finished her chant.

Kaiju's pupils were further diluted before thousands of thousands of ice spike reflected on them.. The whole plane then trembled as if a huge war was raging.
