Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Mira, Maria, Celaine, and Elenei were all standing in the first world they were transported into when they first entered this Secret Realm. It was still a chaotic mess just like they remembered, but unlike the last time they were here, they didn't feel much danger.

Over the last 2 weeks, Mira, Maria, and Celaine were able to return to their peak condition thanks to Elenei and decided to just take it easy. Even though Mira felt extremely uncomfortable just lazing around doing nothing, Maria would bother her whenever she was awake and due to her injuries, she was basically forced to take a break.

It's not like they could do much anyway as their injuries after their fight were really bad.

Still, most of the time Mira decided to just sleep or meditate to calm her mind as Maria would talk her ears off if she wasn't doing those two things. These last 2 weeks have been nothing but pure torture for her!!

Now that it's time to leave, Mira is more excited than anything because she won't have to listen to Maria blabber on and on about pointless topics!

Celaine and Maria were also feeling somewhat expectant to leave, but more than anything, they were ready to get the fuck out of this hell hole disguised as a Secret Realm! They just want a semblance of peace instead of constantly running into things way out of their league! They've almost been sliced apart, burnt to a crisp, frozen to death, drowned to death, met crazy mermaids, a real Dragon and Phoenix, and seemed to always be fighting! Then they ended the adventure by almost dying at the hands of their own companion in a 'spar'!

They are tired!

"When we get back, I'm going to eat to my heart's content! I'm tired of cooking and eating beast meat with no seasoning! I want a proper meal!"

Maria exclaimed with a little bit of drool coming out of her mouth.

"As much as I hate to agree, I am looking forward to having a proper meal."

Celaine chimed in with a hint of expectation just thinking it. Mira, on the other hand, seemed indifferent to it all. To her, being able to eat high quality beast meat whenever she wanted was already considered a luxury. In fact, she hardly ate at all as cultivators don't need nearly as much food to keep their bodies running as mortals do.

And although Mira wanted to get out of here to escape Maria's grasp (mouth), she was also feeling a bit dejected as this place would allow for the most growth in the quickest amount of time.

'Oh well. I still need to gather as much information as I can about the Core Formation Realm, something that doesn't seem to be possible here. Or at least, Elenei hasn't found anything of the sort during our looting travels.'

Mira was already thinking about the future and what steps she needs to take in order to move forward in her growth.

She'd also like to find some scythe manuals to study and research as she's hit a bottleneck there.

So far, everything is leading her towards the decision of leaving the Battle Maiden Sect to travel the continent. Only then will she be able to realize her full potential.

Mira stopped thinking about this and looked over at her companions. Seeing how the two of them seem to be enjoying themselves, for some reasons unknown to her Mira felt like putting a damper on their good mood.

So she did…

"Are you guys so sure that we'll even be teleported back to the Sect?"

Mira voiced out which caused Maria and Celaine to look at her with questioning eyes.

"I'm just saying, during my travels with Elenei, we've seen all sorts of people. People who I'm sure didn't come from Lunar Fox City, the surrounding Sects, or even the cities surrounding the City. Some were even different races! What if we get teleported to another continent filled with demons?"

Mira explained and soon their expressions snake and start to pale in fright! Mira chuckled inwardly as she didn't think this would happen either, but she wouldn't be too bothered by it if it did. The only thing she'd worry about is Dominique, her disciple. Mira wasn't too worried about Rhydian as she is pretty much invincible in Lunar Fox City and the surrounding Sects.

"M-M-Mira! Don't say such nonsense! That's impossible! How can we be teleported to some random place? I haven't heard of anything similar happening in the past! Don't try to scare me like that!"

Maria yelled, but deep down she started worrying about this exact situation. She didn't want to leave Lunar Fox City, at least not without saying goodbye to her family and leaving on her terms. Not to mention she doesn't want to leave Vulcan, her beast companion!

She also wanted to eat good food, but it had to be good food by human standards! She didn't want to eat Demon food or fish food! Hell no! Maria also wanted to go shopping, socialize a bit, beat up her father, and many other things! She didn't want to become a slave of a demon and used as a plaything, only to be used up and eaten!

Maria's imagination started running wild as she's always heard stories of how horrible the Demon Race is and how their favorite food is human flesh.

Celaine was also worried, but for a completely different reason. She didn't want to go on any new adventures right now! She's about had enough of them after living and fighting in that place Elenei tossed her in. She wasn't too worried about Demons or whatever as she's met several other races during this trip in the Secret Realm and was able to come to the conclusion that some races just have different cultures or ways of thinking. Even if Demons enjoyed eating human flesh… So what? Of course, she doesn't want to be eaten, but there are plenty of creatures and races out there that, if given the choice, would definitely eat humans.

Just like how if she was given the choice to eat a Dragon or a Phoenix, she wouldn't hesitate to do so!

Mira smirked at their reactions but remained indifferent. The same goes for Elenei as she is going to enter Mira's Soul Sea and travel with her anyways. It doesn't matter if they teleported to the bottom of the ocean or another Realm, her only goal is to go through Nirvana and evolve into something greater, something that will allow her to pursue greater heights.

"I'm going to enter your Soul Sea now, Mira."

Elenei interrupted the three of them and before anyone could say anything, turned into a ball of light and entered Mira's glabella.

Mira felt another presence in her Soul Sea and knew that it was Elenei.

Soon the hours started to tick by and not long after, Mira, Maria, and Celaine's body started to be surrounded by motes of light.

"Please bring us back. Please bring us back. Please bring us back. Please bring us back. Please bring us back. Please bring us back. Please bring us back."

Maria kept repeating the same thing with her eyes closed while Celaine clenched her fists in worry.

A few minutes later, the three of them disappeared from their spot!
