My Wife is the Asura Empress

His routine for the next few weeks was similar.

In the morning after breakfast, he would practice with the fierce girl Helia who fought with him until the evening.

With time, he was able to dodge her attacks and land more strikes on her. She started increasing the strength used for him which made him understand she was going easy on him from the very start.

In the evening, he would bathe and sit with Lia in the garden to enjoy the beauty of Moonlight, fairies, and especially his wife.

She would make him bathe in medicinal herbs and have their dinner before they went to bed.

As the days passed, Rio improved greatly in sword fighting and gained massive combat experience. He became closer to Lia but felt a distance from Helia as she still gave him cold treatment in combat training.

On the 27th night after coming to the land of the asura.

Rio and Lia were walking in the garden when Yami came hurriedly.

"Your highness, please return to the villa. A prisoner has run away. It's unsafe here." She said with a grave tone.

"Who ran away?" She asked with a frown.

"I don't know your highness." She bowed to her.

"Okay, we will return back. You can go now." She said with a cold voice as she remembered her dream from the morning.

Yami bowed to her and left.

'My eyes of destiny gave me another dream.'

She was contemplating and thinking about the dream from the morning in which Yami and His father were talking about a secret plan behind her back.

Rio asked while facing her, "What prisoners do you guys keep here in the castle?"

His voice jolted her awake but before she could answer him she saw Rio's eyes flickered with murderous intent who was standing in front of him and facing her.

His figure disappeared from her sight and she felt a strong gust of wind behind her.

A sound of flesh cutting was heard in her ears and she turned around to see as a sword pierced Rio's shoulder and protruded from the other side along with his flesh as well as blood.

Hot crimson blood spurted from it and splattered on her fairy-like face as Rio took the strike on himself that was coming for her.

A human was standing there whose sword had stabbed Rio's shoulder. He was tall and bulky but his body was marked with many cuts. He looked injured and lacked energy.

He appeared behind them out of nowhere and was about to strike Lia when Rio saw him.

If he wasn't skilled how could he escape the eyes of many guards and even Lia who didn't feel his appearance when he appeared behind her?

She was contemplating her dream so she could've missed it. But she felt something was fishy behind this whole incident.

The bulky man laughed evilly and pointed his empty hand towards Lia but before he could do anything.

A scythe enveloped in black smoke howled in a terrifying voice and struck him vertically as his body split in two.

Blood came out of his body like a red flower blooming.

A cloud of black smoke covered his body and started burning in black fire.

Rio, who just used his skill "Judgment of Devlin" after "Devlin Movement Technique", grabbed the blade of the sword out of his shoulder and threw it away.

The bulky man's body was incinerated by the vicious black flames of his strike.

Rio gritted his teeth and fell to his knees.

"Blaargh!"

He puked out everything he ate last night while tears flowed from his eyes.

Lia held his body from behind and patted his back.

"Blaargh!"

He vomited again and felt devoid of energy from body and mind.

Executing that strike had taken his 90% of mana but killing a human for the first in his life made him filled with disgust and guilt.

Lia supported him to stand up. He looked dazed while Lia embraced him from the back to help him walk.

He was unable to calm his mind and She understood his mental state.

The black flames dissipated, and only the badly charred body remained.

Yami had already run to Lia but she was stopped in her track after seeing Rio's condition.

Emperor arrived with guards there as hearing the commotion.

He called for a priest and it came soon after as if already prepared in advance.

The priest cast a healing spell on Rio and his wound healed at a visible speed.

Although the physical injury vanished the mental blow was still there which shook him to the core.

"Young boy… It seems like you have never killed anyone before." Emperor Dylan said with some concern and paused to look at the charred corpse to the side

He continued, "That prisoner was at black stage. Even if he was injured, It's praiseworthy that you were able to finish him with only one strike."

"He needs to rest," Lia said with a chilly voice to him.

Saying that she started moving towards her Villa while supporting Rio.

"Let me help you, your highness." Yami came forward to help but Lia placed her hand in front of her and made her stop her footsteps.

Emperor sighed seeing how his daughter was treating him and Yami after Rio got injured.
