"I can't believe it," the Emperor said. "I had always thought it was the son that had lived, not the daughter. Not that it matters to me anymore. I never planned on going after you, but if you come to me yourself, I will simply finish the deed from 30 years ago."

"You bastard!" Clara shouted and spikes of shadows grew out from underneath her.

The Emperor, despite his age, nimbly jumped back to avoid the spikes, while sending his own crystalline spikes back at Clara.

Clara pulled up a veil of shadow that devoured all the spikes. She was about to go back to attack the Emperor when she sensed movements from around her. She fell into the shadow beneath her, dodging the attacks that fell on her from all sides at once.

The Emperor's guards had come to his rescue.

The 7 men, all with different Elemental Essence gathered where Clara had disappeared from and looked around.

The Emperor frowned. "You lot, stay behind. You are not her match," he said.
