Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Chapter 224 End Of The Fight



“Hahaha! We did it!”

Maria was laughing with an expression overflowing with sadistic pride, but unfortunately, her happy thoughts were cut short by Celaine.

“Shut it, you idiot! There’s no way Mira’s out with that attack! We both know that Mira will come back and she won’t be as nice as she was before!”

Celaine scolded Maria with a grave expression. Not just grave, but it felt like she was an inch away from death.

After Maria snapped out of her wild imaginations, she too felt the same dread that Celaine was feeling.

The scariest part was that they couldn’t even feel any killing intent or aura coming from Mira. If they didn’t know better, they would’ve thought this feeling came from someone or something else. All they knew was that their instincts were screaming at them to run, but how can they run from the reaper? Death is in the air and it has come to collect.

The slumbering beast has awoken…

“Ahhh… It’s been a while since I’ve been out. Feels great as always! Sigh… If only I could be out all the time, how fun would that be? Hehehe~”

A deep, cold, hoarse, grating, yet playful voice came out of Mira that made everyone’s skin crawl. Even Elenei was no exception. For some reason, she felt that Mira seemed different. She seemed more dangerous. Not enough to hurt her, but enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for Maria and Celaine. The person in front of them reeked of death and made it feel like thousands of insects were crawling under their skin.

Suddenly, ‘Mira’s’ blood-red eyes focused on the two of them which sent a shiver down their spines.

“Hm? Oho! So, it was you two who awoke me from my slumber! Amazing! It’s been hundreds of years and lifetimes ago since I was awakened and it only took 2 little girls! Truly amazing! I really know how to pick’em, don’t I? Hahaha~”

‘Mira’ laughed amusedly as she examined the two kids in front of her.

“Who… Who are you? You’re not Mira.”

Celaine tried to ask but ended up stuttering a bit.

“Eh? Me? I am Mira! You could even consider me the true Mira or maybe the original? Hm… Whatever. I guess you could say I’m bipolar… No, that’s not exactly right. The Mira you see most of the time is still me. That’s the version that I show to the world. That’s me at my highest efficiency and will do anything to achieve my goals. As for the me that is standing before you…”

Mira’s grin grew wider into something almost sadistic and demonic.

“I’m for when things get serious.”

Then her expression went back to what it was and she said in a playful voice.

“Or whenever something looks fun! And you two look fun! So do your best to keep me entertained!”

“Wai-“

Maria tried to say something but was immediately cut off by ‘Mira’.

“Oh, and try not to die! Hehe~”

Without waiting for a reply, Mira unleashed a flurry of attacks. An icy magma hand came out of the ground under and inserted a bunch of mini spikes into Celaine’s feet and calves. Icy tridents also appeared around her and shot at her from multiple angles.

Maria wasn’t much better as Mira launched an ice spear at her, but this one had a ball of Yin Fire and Lightning at the tip. Naturally, Maria dodged, but unfortunately for her, Mira never intended it to hit her target and it blew up next to Maria’s hip.

This explosion was much bigger due to the two other elements and was able to seriously injure Maria with that one move before sending her flying.

That wasn’t the end of it either as Maria perceived intense danger coming her way. She moved her sword to block it and noticed that it was Mira’s scythe tied to a long ice chain that hit her. However, even though she blocked it, Maria still felt her hands go numb and was slammed into the ground under such a heavy attack.

Celaine was in even worse condition as she had a trident stuck in her stomach and her legs were bleeding profusely after finally getting out of those icy hands. She didn’t waste any time removing the trident and popping a healing pill in her mouth.

“Hahaha~ Amazing! You two are truly amazing, not dying to those attacks! Let me see more! Surely, that’s not all you got, right? Hahaha!”

Mira laughed as she charged at Maria while at the same time doing everything she can to attack or bind Celaine’s feet. It didn’t take long for an ice chain to wrap around her ankles and as soon as it did, Mira whipped the chain around to where Celaine was positioned right under the falling Maria.

When the two were positioned perfectly, Mira jumped up and swung her scythe overhead like a hammer right at Maria’s gut, causing the two of them to crash into each other, hitting the ground at nearly the speed of sound.

*Boom!*

A large crater formed on the ground and if not for Maria and Celaine’s strong bodies they would’ve been turned into meat paste.

As soon as they hit the ground, they immediately went unconscious as the pain and damage was too much for their bodies to handle.

“Tch! And here I thought I could finally have a bit of fun. Sigh… It seems that these two kids really are too green for me to play with right now. Oh well! I’ll surely train them into magnificent playthings for the future! Fufu~”

Mira looked at the two unconscious children in disappointment. Then noticing that their auras were weakening and they might actually die at this rate, she looked up at Elenei.

“Hey, birdie! Heal these two girls for me! Please~”

Mira smirked and said in a playful manner.

Elenei felt her lips twitching at everything Mira just said. She wanted to say something back, but from the smile on Mira’s face she could tell that’s exactly what she wanted her to do. Also, Maria and Celaine’s auras were getting weaker so she decided to just put the matter behind her and heal them.

“…okay…”

“Good birdie! Anyways, I’ll be going now. Look after myself and these girls, will ya? Or else I’ll turn you into a plushie! Hehe~”

Mira gave a dark chuckle which made Elenei feel cold all over and before she could say anything, the dangerous atmosphere vanished. No more stench of death.

Mira also returned back to her usual cold and aloof self and from the look on her face one could tell that she wasn’t confused about what happened.

It’s just like what the other Mira said, they are both the same person and it’s just her current self is essentially just a version of training maniac version of Mira who has her other personality traits turned off. That’s why it’s not exactly correct to say she’s bipolar as they aren’t two separate entities. Or it could be the other way around. Either way, both are part of the real Mira, they are just separated into different entities as not only a way to cope but also a way to make sure she never strays from her goal…

To kill that son of a bitch that forced all of this upon her!
