Mira stood in the middle of the crimson slayer sect’s temple, her eyes cold and unforgiving. The sect’s disciples surrounded her, brandishing their weapons and chanting in unison. Mira was unfazed by their numbers, fully confident in taking them down.

The Nascent Soul Realm disciples charged toward Mira, their weapons glinting in the dim light of the temple. Mira calmly swung her scythe, and a wave of ice shot out from the blade, freezing the disciples in their tracks. The ice quickly spread, engulfing the disciples in a thick layer of frost. The disciples struggled to break free, but the ice was too strong, and they were trapped.

“What the fuck?!”

“Get this ice off of me!!”

“Mark! You have a fire affinity!! Hurry up and help us!!”

Mira ignored their cries but didn’t stop there. She swung her scythe again, and a blast of wind swept through the temple, shattering the frozen disciples into pieces. Blood and ice shards rained down around Mira, but she remained unscathed, power flowing through her veins.

‘Holy shit! I’m fucking strong!’ Mira inwardly remarked.

Of course, she already knew she was strong, but that was just her testing out her physical strength. She barely had a chance to test out her affinities in her previous fight.

However, now she realized what she was missing out on!

‘I really need to go back to the Sect and learn some techniques that will allow me to use my affinities to their fullest potential.’

After that group of disciples died, Mira waved her hand and collected all the little bloody ice crystals. She injected a string of Qi into each of them, allowing her black runes to absorb their remaining vitality and Qi.

Feeling her core fill up much faster than before, Mira smiled, which meant her black runes could somewhat keep up with her cultivation.

‘Still, it’s nowhere near fast enough. Even after slaughtering dozens of Nascent Soul Realm disciples, I only refilled my core by a few percent. If I want to use my black runes to supplement my cultivation from now on, I’ll have to focus on hunting Rank 8 beasts and Soul Transformation Realm disciples.’ Mira gave a wry smile when she came to that conclusion.

Soul Transformation Realm disciples weren’t cabbages one could find on the side of the road. They were the backbone of any Sect!

As for hunting down Rank 8 beastsā€¦ Mira didn’t see that as a viable option either. If she were to go out in the mountains and slaughter thousands upon thousands of Rank 8 beasts, a Rank 9 or even Rank 10 beast would undoubtedly show up and kill her.

‘I have my Death Tail, butā€¦ something about it changed after this breakthrough.’

It didn’t exactly get stronger or weaker, but it did change. The cost to use it went from taking 15% of her blood essence reserves up to 50%. However, its strength was also raised. Now, she could theoretically use it on anyone and kill them, even Divine Sea masters.

As for those in the Ascension Realmā€¦ Mira doubted she could kill them even if she wanted to.

Aside from that, she gained another ability; she could fully absorb a soul, just like in the ‘Afterlife Trial’, but it also cost blood essenceā€“just not 50%.

Putting that aside, Mira glanced at the rest of the Nascent Soul Realm disciples around her and chuckled.

“How nice of you to wait for me!”

The disciples were hesitant to approach her, knowing they weren’t a match for her skills, but hearing her words, they snapped out of their daze and charged at her.

“Dammit! If I’m going to die, I will at least land a hit on you!”

One of them screamed and dashed at Mira with his spear. Coating his feet in lightning, he shot toward her, reaching her faster than the other disciples.

“HAAAAA!!” He released a battle cry and thrust his spear at Mira’s abdomen!

“Die, you bitch!!”

*Ding!*

“…Eh?”

The man’s spear hit Mira’s stomach, but instead of the sounds of metal penetrating flesh, it sounded like he hit a hunk of steel!

Looking down, he saw that the tip of his spear was bent in odd directions and failed to pierce her stomach.

“W-What?? H-How?”

He looked up to see Mira staring down at him in amusement, and he nearly pissed himself in fright!

‘Dammit! I never stood a chance against this monster!’

Suddenly, a golden flash came out from behind Mira, and that was the last thing he saw before something crashed into the side of his head, popping it like a watermelon.

Blood splattered all over the ground as the rest of the man’s body crumbled.

“Is that it? This is the strength of the Crimson Slayer Sect??” Mira flicked the blood off of her clothes, her crimson eyes glowing.

“You dare to even think of capturing me with this level of strength?!?!” Mira roared, her killing intent permeating throughout the area.

The wolves, disciples, and Rhydian all froze in terror as it swept past them. It was as if the goddess of death and slaughter stood in their presence, causing them to suffocate.

However, Mira still hadn’t released all of her killing intent just yet; this was just an appetizer, a way to lower their morale even more. She wanted to see their spirits break, for them to understand that they must pay the price for messing with her.

Even if most of these people never thought of chasing her down, that didn’t matter. All Mira cared about was sticking a giant middle finger to the ones in power. To send a message to them that if they continue doing this, she will gladly follow them down the road to hell.

Mira scanned the remaining Nascent Soul Realm disciples with a steely gaze. They were all looking at her with fear and trembling, their weapons shaking in their hands.

Mira smirked at the sight, knowing that they were no match for her.

She decided to play with them a little longer, toying with them as a cat would with a mouse. She raised her hand, and a gust of wind blew through the sect, knocking the disciples off their feet.

Mira then used her mastery over ice to freeze the disciples to the ground, leaving them vulnerable to her attacks. She summoned a barrage of lightning bolts and sent them toward the disciples, causing them to convulse in agony.

“AHHHHH!!”

“PLEASE! PLEASE STOP THIS!!”

WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!!”

The disciples screamed and begged for mercy, but Mira was relentless. She then used a burst of fire to incinerate them, leaving nothing but charred remains.

After she sucked them dry of all their Qi and vitality, their bones crumbled to dust and scattered in the wind.

She continued moving through the Sect, obliterating anything in her way. None of the disciples stood a chance.

Many of the Soul Transformation Realm disciples tried to escape, but how could they outrun Rhydian?

She was the queen of the skies! If they wanted to outrun her, they’d have to be in the Mortal Shedding Realm.

Mira continued her rampage, her Scythe Manifestation cutting down anyone who dared to cross her path. Her control over elemental abilities grew stronger with each passing moment. Her black runes were like a bottomless pit, absorbing the vitality and Qi of every disciple she killed.

It wasn’t long before she encountered the Soul Transformation Realm disciples, but Mira wasn’t intimidated by them. She had faced greater challenges before and was ready to take them down.

The Soul Transformation Realm disciples charged toward Mira, their weapons glowing with a brilliant light.

Mira merely chuckled and swung her scythe, unleashing waves of ice that froze them in their tracks. She then used a burst of wind to shatter the ice, sending the disciples flying in different directions.

Mira then unleashed a torrent of water that drenched the disciples, making them more vulnerable to her attacks. She then used a burst of lightning to stun them, leaving them open to her icy onslaught.

She cut them down just like the rest, showing no signs of stopping.

Mira continued to move through the Sect, and at some point, she grew annoyed as the disciples stopped fighting her.

So, she circulated her Qi and used the 100 Glacial Warriors technique! Within seconds, 100 ice golems appeared around Mira.

“Go!”

She commanded and sent them off to attack the rest of the disciples.

The disciples fought back, but Mira and her golems were too powerful. She was a force to be reckoned with, a goddess of death and destruction.

The Soul Transformation Realm disciples were no match for her. They tried to defend themselves, but Mira was too quick. She used her mastery over earth to create barriers that blocked their attacks, and she used her mastery over wind to deflect their weapons.

Mira then unleashed a barrage of elemental attacks, combining Yin Fire with Ice, Wind with Water, and Earth with Lightning. The disciples were thrown off their feet, and Mira took advantage of their vulnerability. She swung her scythe, and a blast of darkness shot out from the blade, enveloping the disciples in a thick black mist.

When the mist cleared, the disciples were gone, and their bodies disintegrated into nothingness. Mira stood alone in the temple, her Scythe Manifestation glowing with the power of her elemental mastery. She had accomplished what she had set out to do and felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her.

“Time to loot these fuckers and move on to the next one!”
