Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance-Novel

Silence permeated the air as Elenei stared at Mira speechlessly. She honestly had no idea what to do with this crazy bitch who only knows how to fight and train. Elenei couldn't tell if Mira was just ignorant, stupid, or crazy, but what she did know was that no sane person would react this way.

Elenei just continued to stare at her for a few minutes not knowing what to say. Should she scold her for being arrogant and crazy? Should she provide some information so she's no longer ignorant about the Immortal Realm? Does she just ignore her and move on? What makes it worse is she knows that Mira isn't an idiot.

In the end, she decided to ignore her and move on because even she is ignorant of most of the happenings in the Immortal Realm. Nonetheless, she knows that an Immortal's power is not something a mortal can comprehend.

"Sigh… Whatever. Sure, I can tell you a bit about the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf, but I'll warn you now. I don't know much because like I said earlier, Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolves has supposedly been extinct for millions of years."

"Let's start with what I know about the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race. Keep in mind that these are only legends and stories that have been passed down over millions of years so take what you hear with a grain of salt. First off, according to the legends, the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race was created by accident or by mistake. No, it wasn't because some crazy person experimented with a bunch of different bloodlines and somehow created the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race. That would be impossible and I'm a living example of why. This is where the legends are a bit controversial because nobody knows how this race came to be. We only know that it was a mistake."

"Some legends say that the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race is actually Heaven's creation, but Heaven mistakenly gave it too much power thus creating a near-invincible race. Some say that the progenitor of the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race reached the absolute peak of cultivation and even stole part of Heaven's power thus creating the Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf race. Some even say that they came from a place above the Heaven's and mistakenly ended up here. Nobody really knows how they came to be so we can only speculate."

"However, what we do know about them is that they are existences out of Heaven's control with near-infinite growth potential. They are creatures that seem to be specifically made for war and death because of a single terrifying innate ability. The ability to devour and assimilate almost anything. I'm sure you've already experienced a part of this power with Rhydian and how she gains the ability of pretty much anything she eats. Anywhere from Low-Grade Spirit Stone all the way up to Peak Immortal Beasts, a Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolf can devour and assimilate anything."

"It's just that they have one major weakness and it's that they have to go into a deep slumber in order to assimilate what they devour. Well, as long as it's a new ability or a boost in cultivation. That's also really the only time you can kill them; when they are sleeping like how Rhydian is. As you can see, you could probably punch her in the face and she wouldn't wake up right now. That's how deep they need to sleep in order to assimilate new powers. Anyways, that's pretty much all I know about them. However, I do know more about why they were hunted down if you want to know that."

Elenei finished explaining what she knew about Golden Empyrean Winged-Wolves to Mira which cleared up some of her doubts. Numerous thoughts were going through her head, but if Elenei were to hear any of them… She would undoubtedly beat the shit out of Mira right here and now.

'Damn! So I basically got an oversized trash can as a pet! I have so many treasures right now that I don't even know what to do with it all. Actually, I'm sure that Lunar Fox City and the surrounding Sects can't even afford to buy even 20% of my loot at market price! I won't be able to use most of the stuff I gathered anyway and selling them would only be a waste… Fuck! Rhydian really is the perfect waste disposal! She can even get stronger by eating my trash! How lucky!'

Mira looked at Rhydian and her opinion of her beast companion rose by a notch.

'It's really good to know that my pet isn't picky with the food it eats, unlike some beasts who need me to comprehend random-ass elements, help them undergo nirvana, nurture their egg, hatch them, and help increase their strength like I'm some sort of fucking parent. Sigh… Elenei won't even be as useful as Rhydian in the long run either…'

"I feel like you just thought of something rude, didn't you?"

Elenei asked, feeling wronged. Mira just stared at her with complex eyes and Elenei could swear she just saw Mira's opinion of her drop by a notch.

"Yes, I did. Why couldn't you be like Rhydian? Look! She's not picky with her food and can even grow stronger without me even doing anything, but you? You need so much work and you won't even be as useful! Not to mention I'm Rhydian's master while you and I have equal status in our contract! Why is the difference between you two so large?"

"Wha-! What the hell are you talking about?! Why are you comparing me to a being that only exists in legends?! Plus, you also get something out of our contract! Don't forget that you get a part of my power and affinities as well! Hmph!"

Mira just stared at her for a few seconds before opening her mouth.

"You're also a being of legends. All I want to know is why the difference between you and Rhydian is so large. I have to put in so much work to raise you, but Rhydian just has to eat my scraps! And I don't want to hear that bullshit of gaining a part of your power and affinities! I already have your affinities and more! The power will be nice, but once you go back into egg form you'll be useless to me! Fortunately, you won't be completely useless as a companion after you hatch. Whatever, I'm too tired to argue. I'm going to sleep."

"You!"

Mira almost instantly fell asleep when her head hit the pillow while Elenei sat there gritting her teeth in anger.
