Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance Chapter 139 The Solitary Devil Empress

Chapter 139 The Solitary Devil Empress

As Mira watched people run in her direction, she immediately readied her scythe for battle. She wasn't sure how these people got into the arena so fast, but that didn't matter.
It wasn't until they got a little closer, that Mira actually recognized the people running towards her. They were the women that she saved at the bandit camp a few years ago. This gave Mira a slight shock as she didn't expect to see them here.
As soon as all of them women, all 500 of them, appeared in front of Mira they all kneeled. This made for a very interesting sight as most people had no idea what was going on and watched this scene with interest.
"We are here to fight with you, Miss Mira! Please command us!" Alicia, the leader of the group said.
Now everyone was utterly shocked by this. Was Mira some sort of Royalty? Why have they never heard of her before? Where did these people even come from? Also, aren't they a little too weak?
After the initial shock, Mira came back to her senses instantly and observed the group of people in front of her.
They now gave off a somewhat dangerous aura, like they've been a part of many battles. Mira checked to see if anyone has died, but to her surprise none of them have. This greatly pleased Mira as she could tell that their teamwork must be at an unprecedented level by now.
Most of these women were around the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm and some of them have even broken through to the Foundation Realm. Their bodies were also tempered by the Trial, so even if they are only at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm or Low-Houtian Stage Foundation Realm, there shouldn't be any problems with them fighting those above their cultivation.
Mira let out a faint smile underneath her mask that sent chills down their spines. None of them dared look up at her.
"Hmm… This will be a good opportunity for you to experience war. War isn't like those pathetic battles that you've been a part of prior. It also isn't anything like what you went through in the Trial. War is a fucking mess. There is no right or wrong when it comes to war and those that take part in it are seen as nothing more than insects. Adjust your state of mind and only deal killing blows."
"Form groups of 3 then form a 'V' shape behind me. All you have to do is kill and make sure you don't get surrounded." Mira finished talking to them and soon thought of something else that would be very beneficial to this war. She then turned to the rest of the people in the arena and spoke in a loud voice filled with killing intent.
"As for the rest of you swine, choose whether or not you will fight. If you will, then join the group. Strong on the outside and weak in the back. If you won't fight, then make sure you get the hell out of my way before I turn you into mincemeat!" Mira commanded which sobered up everyone real quick. In fact, a lot of people almost shit their pants when they heard Mira.
Dominique just watched all of this unfold while holding onto Mira's back with interest and confusion. She was wondering where these women came from and how Mira became so domineering. If she were to call Mira anything right now, she'd definitely call her handsome. Yes… Handsome. But she knew to shut her mouth, lest Mira tosses her out into the middle of the pack.
"Understood!" The women kneeling saluted and quickly moved into groups of three and formed a 'V'. Now it was time for everyone to be utterly dumbfounded by this. The speed and efficiency that they demonstrated were insane. It barely took them 10 seconds for them to do all of this, almost like they were prepared for such a thing.
Mira said nothing else and started walking in the direction of the enemy. Maria quickly caught up to her and had nervous look on her face. This will be her first major battle and she was trying to calm her heart down right now.
She was wondering if her parents would be alright and if they were going to take part in this fight.
As Mira walked, more and more people decided to join the group or form smaller groups around hers. They either listened to what Mira said or did something similar.
They soon made it to the edge of the city and saw a sea of beasts and people outside of the city.
Everyone gasped and paled at this sight. They didn't know exactly how many things they were facing, but it had to at least be in the hundreds of thousands.
Mira was also a bit surprised but started to let out a cold laugh. Her body was also emitting a red mist as her whole body was leaking killing intent. Although there wasn't much pressure, the killing intent leaking from her was much more suffocating than an army of a few hundred thousand people.
"Hehe, you lot should be more terrified of me than this pathetic army. I've brought worlds to extinction and these little shits think just trample over me with so few people?" Mira let out a terrifying chuckle as she slowly walked to the front of the army.
The people that looked almost like zombies and even the magical beasts soon caught sight of Mira and felt all of their hairs stand on end.
What the fuck kind of creature is this?! Is what was going through their minds as even the zombified people looked at her in fright.
They all watched on in horror as Mira walked towards their army. The battlefield right now was strangely quiet, so quiet that it brought chills to those who were watching. This scene would be forever etched into the minds of many and would be passed down for generations. They would label it as 'The Solitary Devil Empress'.
The next thing they saw was Mira disappearing and reappearing in front of the army. Then began the slaughter.
Mira decided to save her Ice for now as she would use that when she's through with this cannon fodder.
Blood soon dyed the ground as Mira hacked her way through the army. One slash brought with it a force capaple of killing tens of creatures at the same time. Mira is only using her brute strength and weight of the scythe right now to slaughter these ants. Using any Qi during this stage of the fight would be overkill. Not only that, but with Mira's physical body she can fight like this for days without using any Qi, and combined with her mentality she is utterly terrifying on the battlefield.
Heads flew, bodies dropped, and blood spewed wherever she went. Her scythe was twirling so fast that one could barely see it with the naked eye.
Mira was soon soaked in blood and the only thing these lowly beings saw is a red blur before their heads flew.
A river of blood slowly formed as the men and beasts started to panic. Their instincts were telling them to get as far away from this demon as possible! But there was no escape! They were trapped with this crazy bitch! Their only choice was to crazily run forward and try to surround her. But as they were focused on the bastard devil known as Mira, they forgot to take notice of the small army that Mira had following behind her.
When Maria, Alicia, and the rest saw Mira run into battle alone they knew she was crazy. But they were also scared shitless by her. She was right, they should be much more terrified of her than this shitty army!
"Charge!" Alicia shouted which woke everyone up as they just subconsciously followed the Devil Empress Army!
The small army soon reached the enemy and they soon began their slaughter. Some were a bit more disorganized than others as this was their first war, but the 'V' shape helped alleviate some of that.
The people weren't as ruthless as Mira. They were a bit more righteous in their attacks as they didn't just chop them up into pieces then leave them to scream in pain on the ground only to wait for death.
They at least tried to show a bit of mercy by making sure to finish them off, but this thought soon left their minds when the first among them got stabbed to death.
Losing one's friend in war often makes people crazy and when people turn crazy they do idiotic things.
The companions of the man that died all recklessly charged out of the group and began trying to slaughter and vent out their anger and grief.
The others watched on in pity but soon realized that the group of women, otherwise known as the Devil Empress Army, were doing something similar to Mira.
They ruthlessly charged in and their groups of three all fought in perfect sync. It would be a beautiful sight if not for all of the blood and limbs falling all over the place, but this only made for a somewhat melancholic and serene scene as well.
These women showed no emotion as they walked further down the path of slaughter behind Mira.
But things soon changed when the enemy noticed how their army was starting to lose many of their people.
