Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance-Novel

Author's Note:

Me: Wow, I made it to 200 chapters! Amazing! It took me a bit longer than I expected, but we did it!

Mira: So you finally fucking made it, huh Author? Took you long enough! How long do you plan to prevent me from killing that fucking Guy!!! Hurry up and write goddamit!

Me: I-I-I'm sorry, Mira! It's just that… you know… life happened and-

Mira: Huh? What the hell do you know about life, eh?! All you do is sit around and read whenever you aren't doing homework and you call that life?! What about the rest of the day? That should be spent continuing my story! I got shit to do, but you, my shitty Author, are the only thing preventing me from accomplishing my goal!

Me: Look, I'm sorry Mira, but unfortunately for you, you are just a hobby of mine. I continue your story whenever I feel inspired and when I'm confident in my work. Sometimes I am just out of ideas and I'd rather not write anything rather than write a load of crap!

Mira: I see. I suppose I need help 'fix' this mentality of yours so you can feel more 'inspired' to continue my story.

Me: N-N-Nooo! We can talk about this Mira! Listen, there is no need to bring out the schedule! No please, not the daily quota either! Okay, okay, I'll do-WAIT! Why are you handcuffing me to my desk?! NOOOO!

Mira: Hmph! Fucking lazy ass Author! *SLAM* See if I don't break your fucking legs to make sure you can't escape!

Heyo! Author here! Hope you all enjoyed that little skit, but in all seriousness thank you to all of the people that have stuck with me since the beginning. Although there are only a few of you, I'm glad that all of you are on this journey with me.

I'm glad that I decided to upload my to the public as you all have truly helped me with this story a lot. Whether it be little things like reminding me of certain details that I may have missed or bigger things like helping me come up with future plots or ideas.

Cheers for another 200 chapters and may this continue its slow, but steady journey to the peak! One day, we will rise up and take our stand against the mainstream s on this site! I may not be the most talented, creative, driven, or ambitious person in the world, but I believe this will reach greater heights for I am Dreyerboys!!!

I guess it's time to end this little rant now. Please enjoy this chapter!

After Mira and Elenei made it deeper into the cave, Mira sat down in front of her Phoenix friend and prepared herself.

"Let's start off with just a wisp of your Frost-Fire first. I don't know what's going to happen or how your Frost-Fire will react with my body, so start with as little as you possibly can." Mira said with a solemn expression.

She didn't feel like being killed on accident because Elenei couldn't control her powers.

"Sure. I'll also react as soon as I see anything going wrong." Elenei said.

"Alright, go ahead."

Elenei started to release some of her Frost-Fire but stopped after just a tiny wisp of it hovered in front of her.

She didn't know if such a minuscule amount would kill Mira, but it shouldn't be able to kill her instantly… hopefully.

Mira nodded at Elenei and the latter slowly urged the wisp towards Mira before it eventually entered Mira's body.

"Ugh…" Mira let out a soft grunt as she felt her body going through a myriad of temperatures. One second her body would start burning and the other second it started freezing over.

Luckily Mira's affinity was with ice, which slowed down the destruction process, or things would've been much worse for her.

Mira had to focus all of her attention on trying to spread the Frost-Fire evenly across her body, tempering herself, but the Fire portion of Elenei's Frost-Fire wasn't being very cooperative and the destruction of her body only quickened when the two were separated.

Luckily, it was only a wisp of Elenei's Frost-Fire that entered her body or she might've really died or become critically injured because of it.

That's not to say that Mira wasn't injured, no, she was very injured at the moment. Pieces of bone were missing, large chunks of skin had fallen off leaving her burnt and crystallized flesh exposed, and some of her internal organs were in disarray.

This all happened in the span of a few minutes with Mira doing everything she can to disperse the energy.

Elenei was looking at Mira weirdly as she just went through such an inhuman level of torture, having her body melting and freezing over and over again, but she only let out a small grunt. She didn't even look like she was in pain.

Not only that, but she was quite surprised by Mira's resistance. She was expecting much worse, but it seemed Mira lived which is a good sign.

"Let me heal these injuries before we resume," Mira said calmly before dealing with her injuries.

Elenei just nodded her head and waited for Mira to finish healing. She could tell that Mira wasn't even able to cover her entire body with that wisp of energy and knew that this wasn't going to be a short process.

It might even take more than a couple of weeks before her body can even handle a fraction of a wisp of her Frost-Fire.

A few hours went by and Mira was in good condition. Elenei did the same thing as before and created a wisp of Frost-Fire then shot it into Mira's body, to which Mira continued tempering her body with it.

***

Over a month went by with Mira tempering herself and Maria and Celaine cultivating.

Maria tried as hard as she could to reach the Late-Xiantian Stage, like Mira, but unfortunately, she just isn't able to absorb Qi fast enough even with it being so abundant around her.

Celaine, on the other hand, was able to make a breakthrough into the Low-Xiantian Stage which made her extremely excited. Now she and Maria are able to spar on somewhat equal playing fields as Celaine is only a minor stage under Maria.

The reason the four of them stayed on this mountain and in this world a bit longer than what they originally planned was mainly so Celaine can break through.

This mountain is such an amazing place to cultivate, but they had to leave it eventually. Kayda left them a map to follow and they still have more worlds to explore.

Although the Qi is so dense on top of the mountain, it's not like they are going to be running out of Qi any time soon.

Elenei has a literal mountain of treasures and part of that also happens to be Spirit Stones. Those combined with Mira's Qi Gathering Array, their cultivation won't slow down by much even when they leave this world.

The extension of their stay in this world was also a good thing for Mira as it allowed her body to get somewhat used to a wisp of Frost-Fire. Well, that's a wisp that has been spread throughout her entire body, so even that tiny wisp's power was greatly diminished.

Still, Mira was satisfied with this progress but felt like it was about time to get out and stretch her bones now that Celaien has finished breaking through.

The four of them were now collecting all of Elenei's loot that she kept on the mountain. Most of it will be for Mira or Elenei when she's in her egg form though.

It didn't take them long to finish collecting everything before Mira's group gathered around Elenei, ready to take flight!

"Ready?" Mira asked and Maria, Celaine, and Elenei nodded.

"Let's go!"

The three of them jumped on Elenei's back and prepared for take-off!

"Don't go too fast so I can make sure we are actually going the right way," Mira warned Elenei.

"Got it."

Mira pointed in the direction that the map in her head was telling her to go.

*SWOOSH*

The four of them flew at breakneck speed, easily making it to the other side of the world in just a few moments.

Mira looked back at the empty, frozen, lifeless, wasteland behind her and felt a bit melancholic. She didn't want to leave this icy world since she felt the most comfortable here. The only problem is that there is nothing for her to kill or do!

She wants to go on a slaughter spree to collect beast cores, she wants to fight life-or-death battles, she wants to improve her scythe usage, and even if she can't do any of that then at least let her temper her body, but no! This place barely allowed her to do any of that and she doesn't even need to be in this world to temper her body, she only needs to stay with Elenei!

Ah! Just thinking about the lack of killing she's done over the last few months has made her a bit itchy for battle!

Wherever she's headed to next, the only thing she's hoping for is how much blood she'll spill!
