Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor
Chapter 648: Boba And Pooky.
Before long, the shadows took form and became a man and a woman who looked a tad elderly which Hal took as a visual of what they had looked like at the time they let their cultivations mix to become an inheritance.
The two were the personalities hidden within the inheritance and as they took form and eyed Valerie, there was a sort of look in their eyes that was not exactly compassionate as one would expect from the Elders of a youngster's (Valerie's) family.
Valerie felt their presence as well and her eyes opened to look at them but when she opened her mouth to speak, the male personality interrupted with a rude and cold voice,
"What do you think you are doing missy? Do you have any idea what you are doing and what consequences it will have?" he asked.
The female replied the male but she never took her eyes off Valerie who looked put off by their tones and mannerisms.
"Oh, she knows exactly what she is doing, Boba. She is trying to suppress our voices... as though we have not been quiet enough. Well, we will not have it!"
Valerie smiled with a bit of uncertainty and then she said,
"Hello. The least you two could have done was say a word of greeting before then making your intention of ruining my life known."
"Ruining your life? Ruining your life? Pooky, can you hear the rubbish coming out of her mouth?" Boba asked with an outraged expression.
The female who was apparently called Pooky mirrored his expression as she said,
"I sure can. Such an ungrateful sort. So this is what the younger generation has become... They lack respect and can't even respect Elders who left them something as important as their cultivation for them to use.
I should smack you right now"
Valerie sighed,
"I am grateful. I have always been grateful even when it was hard to be grateful once I saw what became of those who tried to make use of your inheritance.
Many talented and respected members of the family lost their sanity as well as their lives trying to use your inheritance. It became a death sentence and even when I went for it, that was what I saw it as; a Death sentence.
I saw it as a way to escape my father's stubbornness.
I have had it for a little over a year and the more of its strength that I unlock, the more fondly I think of you two but if you are going to stop me from being even better than you both were at the time you were alive, then I will be trying my best to break free of your limitations.
Respect and gratefulness be damned!" as she spoke the last word, Valery opened her palms and simultaneously summoned two Armaments... A Broadsword and a Warhammer.
Hal had walked up to his throne in the Sovereign space, sat within it, and reveled in how comfortable it felt before began to watch the proceedings.
All that had happened right now as well as all that was sure to happen very soon were all mental and not real.
Valerie, at the movement, was just visualizing her mental struggle with the personalities like a physical battle, and all the while, she was still going on with her attempts at Dao comprehension.
In fact, everything she was doing right now was her attempt at Dao comprehension, and everything the two personalities have been done and will do were their attempts at stopping her.
He could that on some level, Valerie and the two personalities understood this but were much more willing to consider the physical altercation that was about to begin as the actual proceedings and ignore the fact that outside the sovereign space, Valerie's body was cross-legged and meditating to discover and comprehend her Dao.
Hal had his elbows pressed on the armrest of his throne and got settled for what was going to be a long Dao comprehension attempt by Valerie.
Meanwhile, the Boba and Pooky duo shared a look and then looked at Valerie with raised brows,
"Oh, you want to fight us?" Boba asked and Valerie shrugged,
"Was that not the plan?" she asked and the two chuckled,
"Of course it was. That was exactly the plan. It's just funny to start that you actually think you can win. We are more experienced and the two Armaments you now wield belong to us" Pooky said and stretched her hand to summon a Warhammer exactly like the one Valerie was holding.
Boba summoned his Armament as well and it was a broadsword just like the one in Valerie's hand but Valerie was not daunted.
She just took a battle stance and held the two weapons as she taunted,
"Wanna bet that I can wield them better than you could ever hope to?" She asked with a smirk.
At the moment, she had truly put aside what respect or admiration she might have had for the duo as she realized that this was not actually them or at least she preferred to believe that this was not actually them.
She preferred to believe that this two were only a small part of the real people that had been Boba and Pooky Cruz.
These personalities only had one reason to exist and that reason was to stop her from comprehending her Dao so there was no need to respect them and it was time to focus on moving past them and accomplishing what she had so determinedly told Hal that she would do.
It was time for her to beat the odds...
Boba and Pooky looked at one another and chuckled before Boba suddenly vanished, moving so much faster than Valerie's eyes could follow but her instincts were still sharp enough that she was able to move both of her armaments and deflect a direct strike to her chest.
*Clang*
Following the deflection, Boba was not knocked back even a little and he smiled as Pooky suddenly appeared behind Valerie to strike her back with her Warhammer and a force so strong that it broke Valerie's vertebrae column into two while also snapping her spinal cord.
The hammer strike sent Valerie flying away from the two and creating a depression in the valley ground and completely incapable of walking... For three seconds.
Three seconds later and Valerie's vertebrae column joined back together and were as good as new and her spinal cord also rejoined to be as though it had never been snapped in the first place.
"What the...?" Valerie groaned as she rolled over on the ground but her surprise was not because she had healed from such a crippling hit (literally) so quickly but more about how easy her vertebrae column, as well as the spinal cord, had been to break in the first place.
It made no sense.
She was surely more durable than that in the physical world and there was no way she would not have used Cosmic energy to reinforce her body... And that was when it hit her;
There was no cosmic energy in here.
The Armaments that she, Boba, and Pooky were using were not actually cosmic constructs but mental projections that they were able to use.
In here, her body was as fragile as her Dao heart, and the hits and blows she suffered from the two were their attempts to turn her away from her attempts at Dao discovery and comprehension by breaking her Dao, heart.
In here, she had no real defense and would do well to not get hit.
This 'body' she had in the Sovereign space was not real and would heal from all injuries but a bruise mark remained to represent a crack on her Dao heart.
She was right and Hal, who had a perfect connection with things happening outside the space, knew that the hit Valerie just suffered had translated to a setback in her attempts as she remained cross-legged on the bed.
Valerie only had a few seconds to come to all these conclusions and make all these discoveries though as the duo of Boba and Pooky moved forward to attack her simultaneously and keep up their attacks on her Dao heart.
Valerie of course would not let them and she rolled to her feet to avoid getting stabbed by Boba's sword.
Even though she had managed to avoid getting stabbed, Valerie knew that the speed of the two surpassed hers and she attributed this to them keeping certain qualities of the Semi-saints their real selves had been when they were alive.
Once she had evaded the strike, Valerie tossed her hammer at Pooky who leaned to the side and quite easily avoided getting struck but then, something strange happened;
Almost immediately after she dodged the hammer and it went past her, space contorted and the hammer vanished only to appear in front of Pooky as though Valerie had just thrown it.
A mind Loop... Of sorts.
*BAM*
The hammer connected cleanly with Pooky who had not expected the hammer's weird return and her head exploded into in a gory manner while her body was thrown back.
Three seconds later though, her head reformed but that was not a problem to Valerie who was smiling as she was happy to know that both Pooky and Boba were just as fragile and easy to break as she was and was also glad when she found that the bruise from Pooky's strike was gone now and the crack on her Dao heart was mended.
