Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance Chapter 431 Taken

Chapter 431 Taken

Right after the explosion created by Mira and Number One's attacks, the two of them flew back at supersonic speeds in opposite directions.
Mira felt like her body was about to collapse from the impact alone as all the bones in her body broke, her muscles were ripped apart, and her internal organs were crushed under the intense pressure.
But somehow, she was still alive and conscious! She may be a little dizzy and could barely move her body, but at least she was still alive.
All the Qi in her core was spent in that last attack, but she still has some energy stored in the rest of her tails. She might not be able to do much with them in her current situation, but it's still nice knowing that she still has a few cards left.
Fortunately, her regenerative powers are insanely high, and she can feel her body trying to repair itself even when she's in such a bad state.
However, if she wanted to deal with the other two people, her body wasn't healing nearly fast enough.
When Mira eventually hit the ground, she tumbled for dozens, if not hundreds of meters, further injuring herself before she finally stopped.
"Huff… Huff… Blergh!" Mira ended up coughing up a bit of blood in the process of trying to catch her breath.
'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Those two other assholes will definitely come look for me after that blast! If I can just hold on for a few minutes, I should be able to survive this ordeal! I can already feel multiple auras approaching this location! If I can just turn my body over on my stomach, I might be able to stall out long enough for the people approaching to finally distract these idiots!' Mira thought to herself as she wanted to use her Silvery-White Tail(needle-hair ability) to try and injure them.
'I still have my black tail in case things get really bad, but I feel like using it on these small fries would be a waste. Although I have no idea what it does, I know it's incredibly powerful; both to its user and the target. Well, whatever. If it can save my life or prevent me from getting captured, then I'll use it without hesitation, but for now, I'd like to save it.'
Mira thought to herself as she tried forcing her body to turn on her belly. Although she didn't need to do this, it'll be much better for what she's trying to accomplish.
Her body felt like it was on hire as she ripped her muscles and broke her bones even further, but she didn't let out so much as a grunt. In the F.LD.I.L, she had to go through the grueling torture of having her body forcibly turned into nothing more than a ball of flesh and bones while keeping her consciousness and pain receptors active. If she can't withstand this little bit of pain, then what use was all that torture?!
In the end, she was still able to turn her body on its stomach 'without much issue' and prepared for someone to find her-
"I found them!"
'Ah! Right on time.' Mira inwardly chuckled and waited for the guy to approach her. She couldn't tell whether it was Number Two or Number Three, but at this point, it didn't really matter. Regardless of who called that out, they would both be near her soon.
Not long after, Mira felt someone approach her with resentful eyes. He stared at Mira's body, and while at first, he felt lust, now he only felt rage and hatred.
"Haha! Look at you now, bitch! You not only killed two of my companions and injured my leader, but you made us make so much noise to capture! Now, we have to run for our fucking lives all because you wouldn't obediently get captured by us! Fortunately, you are still alive, so that old man won't kill us for failing the mission." He said that while reaching down to pick Mira up, but right as his hands were about to touch her, he felt a burst of Qi come from her tail.
This dumbfounded him, and since he wasn't expecting Mira to be able to have any energy left to attack, he had let his guard down. Unfortunately, this mistake will be his downfall!
*Swoosh*
"Argh! My fuckin eyes! You bitch!! I'll kill you!" The man was unable to react in time to the barrage of hair-like needles that launched from her tail and penetrated his face.
Mira, feeling the killing intent in the man's eyes, knew she only had a split second to deal with this man before he pushed the hairs out of his body. So, after her tail hairs hit him, she focused in on them and used every bit of her willpower to push them further inside his body.
Then, she transferred some of her energy from her Pink Tail into her core, and although she wasn't able to gather much, it was enough to insert a few wisps of Qi containing her Yin Lightning, Yin Fire, and Ice elements into each hair.
"Brbrbrbrbrbrbr" The man felt like his insides were being turned inside out, but Mira kept forcing her hairs through his body until they eventually reached his brain.
Before he could even think of defending himself, her hairs had already drilled into his brain and killed him.
The man's eyes rolled back into his head, and he fell on Mira's body, dead.
Mira, on the other hand, didn't waste any time using this dead body to her advantage. Since she was already touching the body and her tail hairs were inside him, she willed her black runes to absorb every wisp of energy and vitality contained within his body.
Within seconds, the man's body shriveled up to nothing other than skin and bones. Mira felt her Core being replenished and her body healing at a rapid rate. However, the efficiency of her black runes was rather bad, she was only able to refill about 5% of her core's energy reserves, while her body still needed tons more time and energy to heal.
'Though I would like it if I recovered a bit more, this should be enough to keep my body going without actually dying. Now, I just have to worry about the other guy and Number One. Hopefully, Number One is in too bad of shape to actually do anything because I'm sure he will kill me as soon as he sees me. I could tell from his eyes that he was adamant about putting me six feet under.'
'Sigh… Is it really that old man that I encountered a few months ago who's setting this up? His disciple should be in a pretty bad state then if he's going to such lengths to capture me. However, how can a disciple of someone as strong as that old man have such weak willpower that he was only able to last a few months after what I did to him? If I was that old man, I would have already killed his pathetic ass and found a new disciple!'
Mira felt a bit angry about this whole situation. She wasn't entirely blaming the old man for her current situation. She was just confused as to why he cared so much about that useless disciple of his. If she were to blame anyone, she would only blame herself for being weak.
Hell, even if Maria or Celaine get severely injured by someone, even though Mira cares for them greatly, she wouldn't go so far as to kill the ones who did it to them. As long as they weren't dead or crippled, Mira would stay out of it as she felt that doing so would help fuel their growth.
Revenge can be great fuel for growing stronger. Mira would know since revenge was, and still is, her main reason for getting stronger.
That's why Mira is confused and frustrated by this whole thing. It's not like that young man was useless. If he can overcome his heart demon, he will come out stronger.
However, a spark of anger entered her heart when she thought about how that fucking old man decided to interfere in a battle between the younger generation.
'Hehe~ Old man, I'll be sure to repay you for the 'kindness' you've shown me today.' Mira inwardly chuckled.
"Ah! Number Three! What happened? What did that bitch do to you?!" Mira heard Number Two shouting from some distance away.
Fortunately, her control over her body was perfect, and she was able to make it look like she was unconscious.
Number Two quickly came over and checked Number Three, who was lying on top of Mira, and shook his head.
"It seems this conniving bitch still had a few tricks up her sleeves. Sigh… While it is a pity, that just means I'll get more of the reward for myself." Number Two stored Number Three's body in his spatial ring and picked up Mira like a sack of potatoes.
Mira, knowing that her black tail is the only ability she has left that might be of any use in this situation, lets herself be picked up. Although she was inwardly cringing at the thought of a man touching her, and she would make sure to rip this guy's skin off when she gets the chance, there's nothing she can do about it right now.
She mentally sighed and tried to hold back her bubbling rage, and as she felt like she was going to explode, she felt numerous auras converging around her location.
"Shit!" Number Two cursed as he knew he was in trouble now.
