《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 8: Doppelganger
Advertisement
As Shenzi drifts, unconscious Shenzi enters the inner world of Tears Of Rose to his surprise as he enters. Shenzi sees a clone of himself. With 100 petals floating around the clone, forming the Descending Phoenix Formation and breaking apart. With a careful look, Shenzi finds to his surprise, the way the doppelganger forms and deforms the Descending Phoenix Formation is much more precise and less forced. Like how Shenzi first has to use 100 leaves and then inject them with his Sword Qi linking them together before he’s able to form his Descending Phoenix Formation The doppelganger notices Shenzis presence “Good evening I am the Sovereigns Intent created by you and Adria. In this world, my task is to train you. However I will warn you now, I do not understand the meaning of holding back my punches. If you die in this world, you die on the outside as well. Here’s your first warning. I am the same as you. All your thoughts, insight, techniques I can read one hundred percent and even mimic you.” Tonight's lesson begins with Battle Intuition I will summon four more doppelgangers using all kinds of foundation techniques along with myself. They will be attacking you like you’re their most hated enemy. The purpose of this is to get you to learn how to control your body’s and Spirit Force with one hundred percent efficiency. The biggest problem for you is. If you’re not able to do so, these doppelgangers will retaliate back with 2x the force of your hit. If you’re not careful and slip up using 100% without full control, you’ll end up as flat as a pancake of guts and blood. Without any chance to react four doppelgangers appear one equipped with a bow and arrow, another with dual swords, another with dual daggers, another with a shield, and of course the Sovereign Intent with the Descending Phoenix Formation Facing this kind of danger for the first time, Shenzis body tenses up with the feeling of the grim reaper floating around with his scythe on the string of Shenzis name. Shenzi compresses his Spirit Force forming his outline of a sword. Except for this time into two sets of swords, as Shenzi equips himself with one sword in each hand, he attacked simultaneously to his right and left blocking the dual wielding dagger and sword doppelgangers. Then somersaulting 180 degrees controlling one sword to clash with the arrow aiming for his heart. Shenzi lands and bursts off the ground in a blur racing to the guardian. With one sword revolving in the air to behead the guardian, with lightning-like reflexes, Shenzis blade is blocked as the dual wielding doppelgangers approach from left and right again slashing at Shenzi. Slashing out with his resummoned two swords deflecting both assassin and attacker at the same time, Shenzi materializes 100 swords with his Sword Qi guiding them like falling raindrops to counter the Descending Phoenix Formation. Upon contact with a slip of his control, the Descending Phoenix Formation detonates sending a wave of robust Sword Qi surging at Shenzi leaving hundreds of tiny cuts all over his body. Standing up again after his failure with blood dripping from his body with a feeling of weakness after depleting close to 30% of his energy. Shenzi once again summons his two swords, crossing them in an x formation in front of his chest. Shenzi pours his Sword Qi into his two swords. Lighting up in brilliant flames, Shenzi unleashes his compressed Sword Qi at the guardian doppelganger. With a bright blood red X forming on the guardian's chest, lighting up in flames the guardian gets burnt into ash. With blurring eye vision and gasping for whatever breath Shenzi can gain. At this moment his danger perception rings as all he has is barely enough time to duck, as two swords come chopping at his right and left pictorials. With two bloody red lines forming Shenzi stumbles over stabbing one sword in the ground to stabilize his body, and the other slicing out three times in a W formation slicing one arm off of the dual wielding doppelganger. The Sovereign Intent claps it hands “Not bad, not bad at all you little runt. You show promise but if this is the best you can do. You better go and dig yourself a grave over there.” With a snap of his fingers, the previous wounded and dead doppelganger comes back to life. With Shenzi’s life hanging on the line Adrias beautiful voice rings in his ears “Come on you dummy. Your time to die hasn’t arrived yet.” As Shenzi recalls the beautiful times shared with Adria Shenzi’s dormant Divine Body, Empyrean Retribution shows signs of awakening. With a blazing purple gold aura covering around Shenzis body like curtains. The aura bursts out stronger and slowly compresses. As the light diminishes, Shenzi’s upper body is covered by a chest plate. Forming designs of a Dragon’s head and eyes with a purple and gold aura shining in each eye. On his back, a cape engulfed entirely by Retribution Flames forms as it hangs down Shenzis body. “Congratulations, Empyrean Retribution has unlocked hosts Spirit Armour Dragon Chest Plate." “Congratulations, Empyrean Retribution has unlocked hosts Spirit Cape Burning World." With an initial breakthrough in Shenzis divine body. Shenzi feels reinvigorated as his body, meridians, and vessels begin absorbing Flame Element Spirit Force into Shenzi’s entire body like a homeless man who’s been deprived of food for five days. Shenzi smirks at the Sovereigns Intent “Come and show me your worse” Smiling back and nodding his head in approval the Sovereigns Intent forms the Dragon Chest plate and Burning World Cape. With both at their peak performance, the Sovereign Intent dismisses the supporting Doppelgangers, “It’s time to teach you what it truly means to be an emperor.”
