Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

Gavin chuckled,

"Yes, I suppose it is, but I truly have nothing against you Lady Lucile. Let me just get to Wade and end this."

Lucile shook her head,

"I'm sorry, that will not be possible. I want him to remain alive" she said.

Gavin looked confused,

"Why?" He asked and Lucile understood his confusion.

She shrugged and glanced at the Dome which blocked her view of Hal's ordeals with the guards,

"Even I don't know. You see, to get to him, you will have to go through me." She said.

Gavin growled and how eyes looked to be tinged with red as his helmet crept to cover his face completely.

The manner in which he leaned forward and tensed was incredibly feral before he sprung towards Lucile with his large arms raised.

He was still at a reasonable height and not yet a giant so while he was imposing, he was far from being something Lucile would actually be worried about.

With her hands stretched before her, Lucile let the figure of her incomplete Cosmic Pagoda appear behind her and imbue her with the strength to withstand Gavin.

The mutated advisor pulled back his fist for a punch but when he made to deliver it...

*Bam!*

... he only made contact with the ground as Lucile was already gone

When she next appeared, it was right above his head and with her breast trembling lightly, she delivered a solid blow of her own into Gavin's protected skull.

*Bang!*

So strong was the impact that the mutated man found himself slammed into the ground face first.

However, there was no groaning to be heard.

In fact, before Lucile could afford to be complacent, Gavin was already waving his hand at her, even with him still lying face down on the ground, to send a Cosmic attack imbued with a Cosmic aurora at her.

Lucile sneered as his feet made contact with the ground and saw the attack heading in her direction.

She stretched her hand and released her own cosmic attack which easily intercepted Gavin's and destroyed it.

Even after that, it still had enough to continue its progress towards Gavin who was ready to receive the attack and further test the limits of his defense.

*Bang!*

The impact was minor and the damage was non-existent.

He looked from his chest to Lucile while his helmet crept back to reveal his wide and deranged smile,

"Don't bother. Give up now because nothing you do will actually have an impact on me. Without the technique, I am a late-stage Cosmic Aurora realm expert who given the right conditions can hold his own against a peak stage.

You might be at the Early stage of the Cosmic Pagoda realm, but you are not strong enough to truly pose a threat to me while U have this technique."

Lucile sighed,

"Well, we'll just have to take the technique from you then, won't we?" She said and her eyes darted over to where the mutating technique still floated beside him.

"With your long-distance attacks? I'd like to see you try" Gavin sneered.

Lucile's eyes widened mockingly,

"Long-distance attacks? You must be joking" with that she finally summoned her cosmic armament.

Right before Gavin's shocked eyes, Lucile's armament revealed itself to be a chest piece Armor that was quite form-fitting to her large breasts while they stretched to her arms where they formed long insanely sharp claws.

The claws were attached to the gauntlet of her chest piece armor and were thinly veiled by a cosmic phenomenon just like the rest of the armor.

"Impossible" Gavin said "you're insane!"

Lucile shook her head and chuckled,

"I'm insane? Have you looked at yourself?" She said.

However, she understood why Gavin had said that.

Creating an armament was a one-time thing. Once it is created, there are no do-overs where you get to choose something else that better suits you. You make the choice and you stick to it.

However, other than that, there were not really any other limitations, in that, you could choose any type of Armament you want. The keyword being 'Armament'.

It did not have to be an obvious weapon. You could decide to make your Armament a full-bodied armor in which case you will be stuck with that and be unable to create an actual weapon.

Your Cosmic Armament will become only truly useful for defense and while there were alternatives that include Artifacts or the use of Skills during combat, most would prefer to do it the other way around.

Which was to create a weapon-type armament and equip a defensive armor-like Artifact.

However, Lucile had managed to find the perfect mediation between attacking and defending with her amber-colored armor and claw armament which was sure to play really hard on how good she was in close combat.

As Gavin watched her clink the claws of both of her hands together, and then smile up at him, he knew for sure that Lucile knew what she was doing and it would do well for him to be...

*Whooshh*

*Bam!*

... careful.

In the second or took him to come to this realization and decide not to take Lucile's attacks flippantly, he saw her disappear from his sights. Only to appear before him and deliver a roundhouse kick up his face.

Once he rolled to a stop, Lucile was already there and stabbing down into the ground with her right-hand claws.

The thought of actually holding his own against those sharp-looking claws did not come to Gavin's mind as he quickly rolled out of the way of her attack.

Lucile's feline amber eyes flashed and she was already tossing a condensed cosmic attack at Gavin while he was still on the ground.

*Boomm!!!*

Once again, Gavin was able to roll to safety but this time he straightened up and looked over at Lucile with widened eyes of shock.

The power he was feeling rippling off her skin was not that of a mere Early-stage Cosmic pagoda realm expert.

At first, he contemplated that she might have actually been hiding the true depth of her strength but he soon discarded that thought when he felt the pressure of her cultivation base remained the same and at the Early stage of the cosmic pagoda realm.

It was not about her cultivation base but instead, her battle prowess which he realized, despite how serious he had been, he was still underestimating.

Lucile sauntered over to him with slow and confident steps. While the chest piece armor kept her large breasts from jiggling, it did not stop it from looking enticing.

However, Gavin was in no situation to revel in how sexy she looked at that moment. Especially since the look she directed at him was deadly serious.

Lucile took a deep breath,

"You know I told him. I told him, I could take care of you all my own. I think he plans to come out of that dome and to my rescue but he won't need to cause by then, you'll be dead." She said calmly.

Gavin frowned,

"Why go to all this trouble to kill me? Because I said I'll kill that annoying and suspicious Hal?" He asked.

Lucile nodded,

"Of course it's because you said you'll kill him. As for why..." She began before vanishing as she ran the short distance left between her and Gavin to stab at him with her claws,

"... it's because he gave me a massage"

*Dumm*

Gavin caught her arm before the claw could make contact and his eyes were now blood red as he snarled,

"A massage? To hell with that!"

Lucile tried to pull back but found she could not. Gavin seemed to have come to a new level of strength, in process of which he seemed to be losing rationality.

And then his size increased as he took on a giant form while Lucile found herself being lifted off the ground and up to his eye level while the monster drew back his fist and she, in turn, condensed a Cosmic Aurora...
