Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

"Wretched creatures! You dare attack my city?! Do you think of me as just air?!" The City Lord's booming voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"Citizens and Guests of Lunar Fox City! These petty thieves wish to destroy our homes, our livelihoods! Are you just going to run away in the face of a bit of danger?! How can you face your family with such a pathetic outlook?! Our Lunar Fox City isn't so easy to bully! Stand and fight these assholes who wish to take what's yours!" The City Lord gave a short speech before turning to the cloaked men that showed up in front of him.

OOOOHHHHH!

The people of Lunar Fox City heard the City Lord's speech and started to feel their blood pumping.

"He's right! This is our home! It's just a few beasts! What can they do?"

"Fuck'em up, City Lord! We'll deal with these insects down here! Haha!"

"This is where my home and family are! I refuse to give it up so easily!"

The people started cheering and yelling, raising their morale.

The cloaked figures just smirked when they saw this. They just decided to let them be for now as it'll be more fun to see them fall into despair. An army of around a million isn't just for show!

"Kekeke. So you're the City Lord? Nice to meet you! My name is Head from the Soul Devouring Sect. Please don't mind us, we're just strolling through this little city for an afternoon snack. Kekeke." The cloaked figure named head laughed in a hoarse voice.

When the City Lord and the Elders heard 'Soul Devouring Sect' they all squinted their eyes. Not all of them knew what that Sect was, but the few that did all had bad impressions of them.

They were a nasty Sect that caused the downfall of countless cities and millions of people a few hundred years ago. They were a very large and domineering Sect during its prime, but their cultivation methods were truly perverse.

The way they grew stronger was through killing, so they treated villages like farm animals that would be slaughtered every few dozen years. This may not sound very effective, but when thousands of villages are treated this way, it is sufficient.

Just like their name implies, they enjoy devouring people's souls which in turn helps them get stronger. Not many actually knew how they did it as disciples of this Sect never had a cultivation manual on them. From some investigations, they found out that disciples from the Soul Devouring Sect were not allowed to keep a cultivation manual on them as they didn't want that information leaking out to the public.

This Sect has always been somewhat clouded in mystery as not many people knew anything about their leader or if they even had one. It was also almost impossible to interrogate the disciples from this Sect because as soon as they did the disciples would either commit suicide or they'd die before they could get any answers out of them.

Not only that, but they'd also start wars, assassinate people, and were the main causes of murder and banditry during that era.

They were extremely hard to deal with because they'd use all sorts of despicable means to kill. Not to mention they didn't have something like a main base or something similar to attack. Their members were all scattered and would often go into hiding for long periods of time.

The cities and Sects of that era often sent people out to kill their members, but not only was it a very dangerous job but it often yielded no results. It was a waste of resources and time to hunt down these criminals.

But this all changed when the Sect's main branches got sick of their appearance. They sent their disciples over as something of a training exercise with the goal being the extinction of this nasty Sect.

Doing this also stabilized their Sects in this region of the Continent.

Some of the Elders here were even a part of the massacre of the Soul Devouring Sect and they knew just how despicable these people were.

The ones that have experienced these people were all cursing under their breaths at their bad luck. These people were truly a troublesome bunch that should've stayed dead and washed away through the sands of time.

Naturally, Mira knew none of this. All she knew is that some asshole wanted to kill them. Nothing else really matters to her. Though it seems that they've truly wanted to stir the pot this time with the army they've brought with them.

"Tsk. I knew I should've left this city yesterday." Mira muttered under her breath, but nobody was paying attention to her.

​ All of a sudden, the auras of the City Lord, Sect Elders, and the cloaked men all erupted throughout the city causing many people to go pale and start shivering.

Most people have never seen or experienced a battle of this caliber and from just the auras alone they knew that they might as well just try and fight off these low-level grunts on the ground.

Dominique was shaking in fear as she held onto Mira tightly and even the disciples around her were all trembling. They could all feel the earth-shaking as the army that these cloaked men brought advanced towards them.

Mira just sighed and lightly shook her head. These people are too young and green for something as brutal as war. No matter what world you're in, war is never a pleasant thing, but it's always inevitable.

Mira slapped Maria and put her hand on top of Dominique's head then started speaking to the disciples around the arena.

"It seems you children are about to experience the brutality of war. It also seems like you don't really have a choice in the matter. From the sound of it, we are currently being surrounded by quite a few people. Since I'm sure you lot don't want to die then you need to get your shit together." Mira spoke in a low, but loud voice to hopefully awaken the frightened disciples from their stupor.

She then turned to Dominique.

"Get on my back and take out the sword I gave you. This is a good opportunity for you to experience, but you're too young and weak to participate in something like this. All you have to do is defend and watch my back." Mira said slowly.

Dominique was knocked out of her fright when she heard Mira talking to her, but she involuntarily shivered when she heard her. Right now she felt like Mira was more of a demon than cloaked people in the sky. But Dominique still nodded and crawled onto Mira's back.

The others around shivered as well. For some reason, they felt like Mira was excited.

Mira took out her scythe and narrowed her eyes. She started releasing a solemn and stifling aura that gave off the feeling of a battle-hardened warrior who's been through countless battles.

Mira stepped out in front of everyone with her scythe in hand and people couldn't help but take notice of her. The Sect Elders didn't have the time to spare her any thought, but the disciples and residents of the city standing not far from her.

"I don't have any intention of sitting here like a pig for the slaughter. Hehe. It's been a while since I've been in a war. I wonder if this is that assholes doing. Not like it matters." Mira muttered to herself as she started walking towards where all the rumbling was.

The first people to wake up were the Battle Maiden disciples and they all looked at Mira like they were looking at a maniac. Was she just going to charge straight in and hope for the best?! What kind of dog shit strategy was that?!

But what they didn't know is that Mira's been through these types of things several times before. She's never been one to wait for death and if she is to do then she'll be the one to choose how. If things get out of hand, she'll just run away.

All of a sudden Mira saw hundreds of people start making her way towards her position and she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. It seems the enemy has already started to make its way towards her.
