Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Relentless Blabbering
Ved jumped but when he looked to the side he saw Ursela standing on water like it was solid ground.
He turned his attention to the fight, then back at her and back to fight again, then the fight ended and their bodies disappeared into thin air like smoke.
It was then that he realised everything he was seeing before was like an afterimage of sort. They moved so fast his brain couldn’t process their speed.
So what he saw was like a recording imprinted on the world. He saw everything and heard everything moments after they actually happened.
He struggled to rationalize it, that level of speed was insane to him. That meant if he tried to fight any of them he wouldn’t even be able to see them and by the time he did he would already be dead.
" Here." She threw the spear at him with a strange almost sympathetic look, there were three water blue rings around it that seemed to be weakening it.
He grabbed it and gave her a strange look. ’ Ah, big sister Ursela...’ she smiled and talked before he could finish his sentence " Big sister? I like that, from now on you are my little brother, if anybody bullies you, you tell me, big sister will punch them to oblivion."
She was really simple minded. ’ I still don’t know what I’m supposed to do with this?’ she shrugged " Do whatever you want with it, it’s useless anyways."
A much smaller projection of the vessel spirit appeared. " Who are you calling useless you stu..." " Huh?" She glared at him. " You stunning big sister who is right, this old man is useless."
His tone changed immediately, Ved admired his shamelessness, it was godly. She turned her attention back to him." You should come visit me when you’re free and big sister will treat you to a big meal."
She waved her hand at him and jumped in the water, her body transformed into it full size immediately and she swam away.
Her body disappeared in a few seconds. Ved was left alone with the spear and he had no idea what to do with it.
The vessel spirit scoffed. " Cheeky brat, thinking she’s all that, she should be glad I don’t hurt women or I would’ve spanked her ass, stupid stupid brat, one day I’ll show her."
Ved felt a headache coming, he had a feeling he was going to have some unpleasant times with this shameless spear.
He dropped it and swam away. " Wait lowly beast, take me with you, I’ve been stuck here alone with no one to talk to for far too long, I could use some company even if it a lowly beast, rejoice, you’ll be graced by my presence."
’ Can’t you fly on your own?’ he asked in an annoyed voice. The spirit coughed. " Ah well you see, that ugly beast sealed my true body."
It pointed at the three blue rings around the spear. " I can’t do anything with those things on unless I find a successor holder."
He sighed and continued swimming away " Wait, don’t leave i can be of use to you, I’m very old and know a lot of things."
He ignored it. " I can tell you stories of the past human heroes, though you might not understand since you are but a lowly beast."
He swam even faster. It tried one last attempt. " She gave me as a gift to you, do you really want to just throw me away, that might make her sad, oh the heartbreak, the pain, her little brother throwing away a gift she fought so hard to get."
It grabbed it chest as if it was in pain, fake tears even welled up in it eyes.Ved sighed, though a bit dramatic and very annoying it was right, it was given as gift and it would be rude to just throw it away, even if she said he could do whatever he want with it.
He stretched a string and grabbed it then tied it to his back. ’ It wasn’t that hard by the way.’ " What?" ’ She didn’t fight that hard to get you, you were very weak.’
It balled it fist " How dare you, I held back so I wouldn’t hurt that little girl okay." He ignored it and continued swimming at a leisurely pace.
Three days passed, his eyes were twitching. The vessel spirit had been talking non stop for the past three days, his ears were itching from the constant blabbering.
" As I was saying, my holder the majestic emperor Gold stabbed the herald in the heart, the pleasure I felt when I penetrated it, it was addictive." His mouth twitched, it choice of words were... unique.
While the vessel spirit was busy blabbering away he saw a tuna fish swimming past them. It was huge with a length of over 8 metres.
And this was merely a rank 2, it speed was incredibly fast, it pierced through the water silently like an arrow without causing a single ripple.
Ved immediately shot a bolt of lightning at it and electrocuted. A delicious scent reached his nose.
This was not the first time he had done this, infact it was thanks to the talkative spear that he learnt how to cook with pure lightning.
While he knew lightning was hot he couldn’t figure out how much voltage he needed to cook meat until the spear pointed it out like it was common knowledge.
Although it was talkative and likes to brag he has to admit it did know a lot of things. He bit into the tuna and delicious fish meat juices spread through his mouth.
He growled in pleasure, it’s been years since he had cooked meat and it appeared he still had a taste for it, while raw meat was delicious it was incomparable to this.
Ofcourse the meat was partially raw, it created a bland of flavours he couldn’t enjoy in past life but his tastebuds were more superior now so he had to do it.
" Oy oy, are you listening, I’m recounting my glorious adventures with the mighty God king Gold, why aren’t you listen?"
Ved got fed up.’ Is it lieutenant general, marshall, emperor or mighty God king? Make up your mind.’
" Why do titles matter? do not go back on our deal or I won’t tell you anything, you have to listen to my holders amazing deeds as promised, no more interruptions."
Ved sighed, he was starting to regret agreeing to that stupid deal, he didn’t know this thing could talk for three days straight, three days without rest, how is that even possible?
But he promised to listen to it and in exchange it would explain to him a bit about the cultivation system, according to it, it would only explain a little and he would have to earn the rest of the information.
Ved agreed, he was merely a rank 3, he was not in a hurry to know the higher realms, he had time to figure it out later but now he was deeply regretting agreeing at all.
Pity he can’t go back on his word, his very bloodline deemed that act disgraceful and it made him uncomfortable just thinking about it.
" And I tell you moderately intelligent beast, my holders fame resounded throughout the entire realm, he was feared even by those disgusting vermin of the void, he..."
It didn’t stop talking. ’ Oh dear horse face Poseidon, drown me.’
