Emperor's Reckoning
Chapter 99: Astral

Under their dumbstruck look, Lyon suddenly got up from his bed. He stretched his arms and made a couple of little jumps before he bumped his own fists. "Alright, I'm good as new," said Lyon with a newfound spirit.

"Oh big bro, apparently the two people you just killed turned out to be from the Kafrin Clan... or was it Khufrin? You know, the ones Naeya said about your punishment," said Jugen beside him.

"Oh really? Then my problem is solved? Well, ain't that convenient," chuckled Lyon wholeheartedly.

"Sadly no," the voice came from Old Sean with his head shaking. "I recognized the two dead men, they were not the ones who founded the clan."

"The one who founded the clan was much stronger than that, the current young noble couldn't hope to win against him," as much as he respected Lyon, he must say the truth.

"Are you sure? Big bro did destroy the guy's astral being," Jugen was rather annoyed by Old Sean's tone. In his eyes, Lyon was his idol. People might be blind but he was there for most of his fight, so he knew pretty well how amazing his big brother was.

Old Sean couldn't help but be surprised. "Young noble did that!?"

"Yes he did, I was there too," said Ryona.

.

.

(Huh!) now Lyon and Jugen were the ones that surprised.

"What!? Really!? Wait, you followed us didn't you." The quick-witted Lyon was able to grasp the situation.

"En!" Ryona nodded with her enchanting smile. She didn't even try to hide it.

"S-since when did you followed us?" (This woman is quite scary).

Putting her index finger at the edge of her lips while looking at the roof, she answered, "It was when you go to the pill store."

(From there? Wow, I didn't even notice... WAIT A MINUTE!) Lyon suddenly grabbed both of Ryona's shoulders before whispering. "Did you hear what I said to Jugen back on the street?"

"Yes! Loud and clear hubby <3" whispered Ryona back. Her soft breath directly hitting Lyon's face.

He was talking about how Ryona being a different person lately. She was the type of woman who would make the first move but all of that change since they left Nostria.

"I see, good... good, welcome back," said Lyon as he took a step back with a charismatic smile.

However, Ryona suddenly stepped forward and leaned toward him. It was evident to everyone about what's she was going to do.

*ahem

Luna suddenly made a cough that stopped her advancement. (There is no way I would let you do that, today is my special day) thought Luna as she closed her eyes.

Lyon noticed this cute jealousy of her before patting her head which caused her cheeks gradually red. Ryona could only pout in response.

"Only a cultivator of Middle Half Divine Realm could make an astral projection," said Old Sean in an attempt to break the ice.

"However, destroying an astral was a feat almost next to impossible," continued Old Sean before standing up with his hands behind his back. "That was because no material could touch the astral projection."

"Astral projection will disappear on its own with the time of its appearance determined by the realm of the user. This skill is the most useful if the individual has a grand status, the ones that its name or its attendance has enormous weight."

"Since an astral deeply connected to the cultivator's soul, method of soul skill would work on it, but sadly those skills are rare and take a lot of time to even learn the first phase." Old Sean shook his head.

"I have to disagree," this time Kyoko refuted him. He was an expert in this clan but always seem to be underwhelmed when faced with these guys.

Kyoko approached him only to drag his chair and made it her seat. With her left foot being on top of her right, she flicked her finger and a lengthy pipe smoke came out from her spatial ring.

*puff

The smoke outpouring from her mouth making a spiral before dissipating in the air. Her blue rose hair was resting on her shoulder to her breasts. With the way she leaned back on the chair and her right hand holding the pipe, her left sleeve dropped down a little as her left arm, revealing her supreme complexion. It took only a centimeter if not two, to reveal her right breast.

*gulp

Lyon and Jugen couldn't help but swallowed down their saliva. However, of the two, Lyon was almost down on his knees. (Such mature charm is deadly!) thought Lyon as he held his ground.

*puff

She breathed out the smoke once again, "An astral indeed connected to one's soul. However." Kyoko once again took the pipe in her mouth. With another smoke, she continued, "However, you are wrong if you think only a soul related skill could harm it."

As the tobacco inside the pipe's chamber lit up, another smoke was let out. Even though Kyoko was taking a little longer time to explain, nobody dared to interrupt her. No. more like Lyon wouldn't forgive anyone who did.

"Astral can be made if the cultivators had a fairly strong soul, but the source of it was never the soul itself. The soul only acts as the channeler. What did the soul channel? Of course, it's the mana gathering around."

"S-so it's like magic but without a chant?" said Old Sean nervously.

"That is almost, correct," said Kyoko as she closed her eyes.

(Almost?) Old Sean's face was brimming with curiosity.

"Magic can still be interrupted with an object, but an astral can't, at least not any object," replied Kyoko in a lazy manner. Her eyes were half opened and gave a unique seduction feel.

(Damn, my heart is racing!) thought Lyon as he was palpitating. His reaction caught Ryona's attention who was nearby. With a wicked smile, she whispered, "Overseer always act like that when someone was asking a question with a quite long explanation."

(Huh!! Damn!! Guess who is going to ask plenty of questions and ace the exams? Your A's college boy Lyon Torga!) thought Lyon with his shameless brain.
