871 Blown
Vale was happier to see that Lisa had already become Immortal. To be honest, after learning about the existence of higher realms, he felt a lot of pressure since, aside from him and the True Immortals he had woken up and the Demon Saints he controlled, there weren't really other people who could help him protect this realm.
If they really received a full frontal assault from the Abyss Realm, Time Manipulators, the Death God's Underworld Realm, and some other Realms that might want to obtain his Divine Extraction, Vale knew that it would be impossible to protect this place no matter how powerful he was.
Their option was to make the Will of the Realm become stronger and block off all other Realms from entering this place. Aside from that, the Overseer also mentioned that they have to ascend to the Higher Realm and obtain protection…
It was similar to what the Three Paragons had done to the Human Realm and obtained protection. However, after the Paragons disappeared, this protection had disappeared for a long time. However, it was enough for the Will of the Realm to get stronger.
On the other hand, the Eminence of the Sea, Goddess of Fortune, and Divine Sorcerer, weren't really doing anything that much to protect this realm from foreign invasions since, according to the Lord of the Secrets, these Ascended Immortals had many other worshippers in different Realms. They weren't originally from this Human Realm although they claimed to be in order to attract more worshippers.
In short, although this place was still important to them, it wasn't that vital to them whether they disappeared or not.
Nonetheless, because of this, Vale was also considering ascending if necessary in order to obtain true peace in this Realm. The only problem was that he knew it wouldn't be easy to do it alone, so he was considering going there with others.
'I really don't want to leave this land if possible… However, the Time Manipulators are already here… The Abyss Realm also knows about our location. It's only a matter of time before they return. I just hope that they'll take centuries to recover their strength.' Vale said as he wryly smiled…
Anyway, he knew that it would still take the Abyss Realm decades in order to recover their strength. However, Vale didn't like the fact that there was still a looming threat that could cause them trouble in the future. He needed to resolve it.
In the meantime, as Lisa was able to stabilize her newfound strength, she looked at Vale, the Shadow Immortal, and smiled.
"Thank you… So… How about we spar?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She knew that she had gotten incredibly strong, but she couldn't have a proper grasp of her strength unless she used them in battle.
Vale laughed, sensing her eagerness.
After a few moments, they disappeared from the chamber and soon, reappeared on a vast frozen lake in the northern region of the Empire.
The icy expanse stretched out before them. However, the cold air wasn't doing anything on their bodies.
Confirming that there were no signs of human life around this place, they knew that it was the perfect arena for their sparring match.
"Since I'm weaker, allow me to make my move first." Lisa chuckled as she summoned her Vampiric Aura…
She then moved first… In the blink of an eye, she closed the distance between them. She struck with her fist, but not to hit Vale with her physical force. Instead, each of her punches would release a Vampiric Energy that aimed to corrupt her target.
Vale parried her attacks effortlessly. He used his control of shadows like a protective barrier… He wasn't going in the aggressive yet, as he wanted to see more of the True Vampire Immortal's power.
"Impressive," Vale remarked, his voice calm. "But you'll need to do better than that."
Lisa grinned, her fangs glinting in the sunlight.
She then summoned her vampiric powers with a hint of Divinity!
She then moved swiftly and launched a series of rapid strikes. This time, she decided to resort to physical attacks! Although this wasn't her real fighting style, she wanted to see how fast and strong she was compared to Vale!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each blow was infused with her Divinity as the ice beneath them started cracking with the force of their clash.
Vale then countered with his own abilities, his shadows lashing out like tendrils of darkness.
They started wrapping around Lisa, attempting to bind her, but she broke free with a burst of energy!
Boom!
The two combatants moved with incredible speed. At this time, their forms were just barely visible as they fought across the frozen lake.
"Haa!"
Lisa unleashed a wave of dark energy, the force sent shards of ice flying in all directions!
Vale responded with a shadowy barrier, absorbing the impact and dissipating the energy. He then retaliated with a series of shadow spears, each one aimed immobilize her.
The battle raged on, the frozen lake becoming a battlefield of ice and darkness…
Lisa's vampiric powers and strength were matched by Vale's mastery of the shadows.
'Eh? She's actually draining my powers?' Vale was shocked as he realized how scary a Vampire Immortal was! She didn't have to suck his blood or have physical contact as she simply had to get near and her opponent must release her energy and she could already absorb it!
As the fight continued, Lisa felt her confidence growing.
She had never felt so powerful, so alive. She pushed herself harder, her attacks becoming more aggressive, and faster.
Vale had no other choice but to use some of his Celestial Arts and met her with equal intensity…
Finally, with a burst of energy, Lisa managed to break through Vale's defenses. She landed a powerful blow, sending him skidding across the ice. She stood tall, her chest heaving with exertion, a triumphant smile on her lips.
Vale rose to his feet, a look of admiration in his eyes. "Well done, Lisa. You've truly embraced your new power." He was happy with this result.
Lisa nodded, her smile widening. "Thank you, Vale. However, since you're just an Avatar with limited Divinity, you can't really use your full force. Once your real body is back, let's spar again."
