Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

After Mira understood her new body, she turned to Elenei and asked, "How long was I out? And why are we in the air right now?"

When Elenei heard Mira's voice, she was confused at first as she didn't remember Mira sounding so mature!

That's when she realized that she hadn't gotten a good look at Mira's new body, so she turned her head around and saw an unparalleled naked beauty with nine fox tails and two fox ears staring back at her with those deadly crimson eyes which unconsciously leaked out killing intent.

Elenei was so stunned for a second that she almost forgot to fly!

"M…Mira? Is that really you? Why do you look like that?! What's with those tails?!" Elenei frantically asked, but Mira crossed her arms and remained quiet. She wanted her questions answered first.

Seeing this, Elenei coughed a few times and would be blushing in embarrassment if she wasn't in her Phoenix form.

"Ahem! Excuse me for that sudden outburst, but the difference between the current you and the previous you is just too huge that I couldn't help but be surprised. Anyways, I'd say you were only unconscious for around a day. We are in the air right now because your Heavenly Punishment Tribulation caused quite the commotion and attracted some terrifyingly powerful beings to your location. If those old folks were to catch wind of you, they would either outright kill you or force you to be their disciple. Well, given your current looks and power, there's also the chance they'd want to take you away to turn you into a lab rat."

Mira snorted but didn't comment. Although it was true that such actions disgusted her, it was also true that she was currently too weak to do anything about it.

"Hmph! If those weaklings dared to force you to become their disciple, I'd let them know the true meaning of despair, consequences be damned!"

Mira heard the Guardian's disdainful voice in her mind, causing her expression to turn strange.

'Why? Do you wish to become my 'master' that badly?' Mira asked.

"While that would be amusing… No, I have no intention of being your master, nor am I suitable for such a role. Remember, you are the successor of the Firmament of Limitless Death and Infinite Life. You need no master, and nobody in all the Realms is capable of teaching you anything anyways. Your path is different compared to others, and it's your duty to traverse this path. The Firmament will help you pave the way, but everything is ultimately up to you," the Guardian explained, but Mira didn't understand what he meant.

He could easily see through her thoughts but didn't say anything as she'll find out what he meant soon enough.

"I see. Well, thank you for taking us away before anything happened, Elenei," Mira said, but her words nearly caused Elenei to drop out of the sky.

'WHAT?! What did she just say?! Did she just say thank you?! Not once in all my time with Mira have I ever heard her say those words!' Elenei thought with shock.

When Mira felt Elenei's reaction, she realized she had said something she normally wouldn't have and knew she was slowly changing into a different person after undergoing those item trials.

However, she didn't say anything and instead asked Elenei, "Where are we going? You're not just taking us to some random part of the continent, are you?"

"What? Of course not! We're on our way to Lunar Fox City. You said you needed to pick someone up there, and you would also meet up with Maria. It's also a good place for me to undergo my Nirvana as there won't be any powerhouses in the area that could sense it."

Mira let out a sigh of relief when she heard Elenei. There currently wasn't much time left until the Battle Maiden Sect's Main Branch starts this year's disciple recruitment. Although Lunar Fox City is quite far from the Main Branch, even without Elenei's help, Rhydian should be more than fast enough to get her there on time.

Mira also really didn't want to leave Dominque behind in Lunar Fox City. She's the only disciple she's ever taken in throughout all of her lives. How can she leave her just like that?

"Good. However, you should speed up a bit as we are a bit short on time," Mira said to which Elenei nodded and immediately sped up.

Mira used this time to put on some clothes, though it seems she'll have to buy all new clothes as none of her robes or dresses fit her anymore with her new body.

As a substitute, Mira used her ice to create a set of clothes to cover up her body and layered the outside in Yin Magma, so it wasn't see-through.

However, that's when she noticed something weird. The dress she made was lined with tiny black runes, similar to those on her body.

Mira knew this was somehow related to her breakthrough, but she didn't know what these black runes did, nor did she understand their purpose.

She wanted to see whether these black runes would always be there or if it was just a one-time thing she did unconsciously, so Mira began creating all sorts of objects with not just her ice but Yin Fire, Lightning, and Magma as well. She also tested it with just her normal Qi as well.

However, no matter what she did or created, everything was lined with small black runes, but when she tried interacting with these runes, nothing happened.

This was very peculiar, but Mira decided to test the effects of these black runes later because her instincts told her are extremely volatile.

So, for the next few hours, Mira spent her time reviewing the Water Body Transformation Technique because she felt like her body now had a growing affinity for Water.

"We're here!" Elenei announced while landing on the ground, waking Mira up from her study session.

Mira and Rhydian got off Elenei and immediately noticed Lunar Fox City just a few kilometers away.

Mira was about to tell Elenei to stay in her Soul Sea, but before she could speak, something extraordinary happened.

Elenei's giant Phoenix body was surrounded by a bright light for a few seconds before the light, and the Phoenix disappeared before Mira's very eyes. However, what was in its place was an incredibly beautiful tall woman with vibrant red hair, sapphire blue Phoenix-shaped eyes, plump round breasts, and icy-blue Phoenix wings on her back, all wrapped in a beautiful blue dress with a Phoenix and a Dragon embroidered on it.

Both Mira and Rhydian didn't know what to think of this and could only stare at this scene with their mouths agape.

The woman turned to look at the two of them and furrowed her brows a bit, " What? Did you guys think I couldn't change into a human form? Well, normally, I disdain the thought of polymorphing into my Human form as I believe my Phoenix form is much more beautiful and majestic. But this might be the last time I'm able to change into my human form for a while, so I thought I'd transform just this once before undergoing my Nirvana."

Mira and Rhydian stared at her for a while, both having their own thoughts about this situation, before Mira shook her head and began walking toward Lunar Fox City.

"Well, whatever. We might attract a bit of attention with our appearances, but it's not like anyone in this city can do anything to us even if they all ganged up together. Come on, let's go. I can sense that both Maria and Dominque are in the city already." The thought of meeting Maria again made Mira's tails sway, and her ears twitch.

Elenei noticed this but didn't say anything and just followed next to Mira.

"Oh, Mira. You might want to reel in the pressure exuding from your eyes. You might accidentally kill everyone you look at in this city if you don't." Elenei said, but it's not like she cared about the people of this city.

She just felt it would be a pity for such a nice city to face its destruction all because Mira couldn't control her powers properly.

Mira stopped for a second, examined her eyes real quick, and realized that she was actually exuding a strong bloody aura out of her eyes. She quickly reigned it in as she didn't want to accidentally kill Dominque.

She also made sure that the rest of her body wasn't exuding any strange pressure that might accidentally kill Dominque or injure Maria.

However, even after controlling her aura, she still couldn't change how effective and deadly her eyes were on those with weaker wills and strength than her.

When Mira's group walked up to the entrance of the city, all it took was one glance from her crimson eyes to make the guards unconscious.

There's also the fact that Mira could feel the lust deep in their eyes when they looked at her, so she may have been a little rough on them. However, that was already strange because normally, Mira would've straight up killed them for daring to look at her like that, but right now, she wasn't even thinking about that.

Right now, her mind was filled with Maria.
