A little over a week passed and Mira finally opened her eyes.

"Huuu…" Mira let out a sigh as she awoke and immediately checked her surroundings.

She was in a massive room that was around the size of a house and was currently laying on a massive bed that took up most of the space.

Mira noticed the familiar black walls and came to the conclusion that she was in Kayda's room. It was the only thing that made sense after all.

She didn't feel any presence near her nor did she see Maria or Celaine, but she wasn't worried. This was because of Kayda. There shouldn't be anything near this place that can actually hurt Kayda and if Kayda actually attacked the two of them, Mira won't be able to do anything.

Mira decided to take this time to thoroughly analyze some of the changes in her body. The first thing she noticed was the newfound power that her body currently held. Her looks didn't change much since they were already at the pinnacle, but all of the changes were what happened internally.

Mira felt like her insides looked like a popsicle! They were all blue, even her blood, bones, muscles, organs, everything was some shade of icy blue. She could see that Icy Magma was flowing through her veins with streaks of lightning bouncing around. Her bones looked like they were made with a mixture of magma and ice, while her lightning was coursing through them as well.

Having her understanding of this new physique deepening, she knew that the elements residing in her body were not the same as they once were. It was hard to confirm with just the lightning, but now adding Magma to the mix, she's able to confirm some of her conjectures.

Mira's theory is that her physique, as long as she uses a technique similar to the Magma Dragon Body, she can cultivate and improve her physique. But a change happens to the element. If her guess is correct, it turns Yang elements into Yin and most likely strengthens Yin elements. Though that last part is just a guess based on the benefits she's getting from her physique towards the ice element.

From these conjectures, Mira figured she should start calling her lightning and magma, Yin Lightning and Yin Magma since they aren't the same as the original.

She silently nodded and conjured an Ice Needle in her hand. A needle made of ice appeared in her hand that was crackling with Yin Lightning. There was also a thin line of Yin Magma in the middle of the needle.

After putting her Ice Needle away, Mira also noticed her cultivation reached the Peak-Houtian Stage and the Qi in her body also seemed to condense to the maximum, which made her extremely pleased. The only thing Mira was a little bitter about is that it was going to take a while before she can actually break through to the Xiantian Stage.

Mira nodded her head, satisfied, and finished examining her body.

She got up from her position and walked out of the room to search for Maria and Celaine.

It didn't take long until she heard the sounds of clanking and she was a little surprised by what she saw.

Maria and Celaine were sparring with each other. It seems they probably wanted to test out their newfound power.

Mira sat some distance away and watched without disturbing them. She also found Kayda on the other side watching them and nodded while giving her a faint smile. She was thankful for this Dragon.

Something seemed to be different in Kayda's gaze, it seemed to be filled with sympathy, pity, and determination when looking at her. This puzzled Mira, but she couldn't come up with any reasons why Kayda would think this way and decided to throw it to the back of her mind.

Maria and Celaine sparred for the next few hours, feeling satisfied.

"Mira!"

"Ah! Mira!"

Maria and Celaine noticed Mira's presence after they finished sparring and ran up to her.

"Let's spar!!" Maria immediately yelled, feeling fired up.

She felt like if it was the current her, then she should be able to contend with Mira.

"Eh?! Maria, we just finished sparring and you want to start again with Mira?!" Celaine let out in surprise.

"Heh. Very well, I also wanted to test out this newfound power," Mira said, standing up and walking towards the location the 2 were sparring at before.

Maria smiled brightly and ran to the opposing side. Mira also let out a faint smile and looked at Maria. She resolved herself to make Maria one of the best warriors across the realms, and that starts right now...

The two didn't need words to start Maria dashed towards Mira with her sword in hand.

Mira went ahead and took out her scythe, but just waited for Maria to come at her.

Maria was the first to strike and Mira could feel the weight of that attack. It was incomparably stronger than the previous Maria. But Mira also knew that her body was also slightly stronger than Maria's due to her physique just based on that single strike.

Maria let out a bright smile as she fiercely attacked Mira. If Mira were to actually get hit by one of these, she might actually be seriously wounded, but this didn't cause her any displeasure.

Kayda was watching this scene with interest since it almost looked like these 2 wanted to kill each other with how fiercely they are attacking each other. She could tell that Mira was much more relaxed than Maria, but she still couldn't take her eyes off of Maria's swings.

She walked over to Celaine.

"Are these two always like this? It almost seems like they are trying to kill each other." Kayda asked curiously to which Celaine nodded.

"Yeah, whenever these two spar they always go at it will full force. They've been with traveling together for around a decade now and it seems they've trained with each other almost every day. I bet they've sparred together thousands of times by now. Oh! Mira's also the one that touted Maria how to fight and Maria is always trying to win against Mira in a spar, but it seems she's never once been able to even after knowing all of Mira's moves and habits." Celaine explained while watching them and Kayda became even more interested.

"Hmmm… Even though they have the same cultivation and their body strength is almost exactly the same, I can tell that Maria doesn't have a chance at winning against Mira." Kayda muttered to herself and watched Mira with interest. When she watched Mira, she felt like she was watching a veteran warrior that's been tempered through many battles.

The two sparred for hours and eventually, the two of them started using Qi and their elements instead of just their bodies.

Now that Mira had a decent understanding of her strength, she wanted to test out how her Yin Magma can be used.

Mira used her Ice Domain and a blizzard spread out around Mira. Yin Lightning shot through the torrential blizzard, but now Yin Magma was congregating near the bottom of the domain.

Maria immediately noticed the changes in her Ice Domain, but didn't voice them out and charged at Mira.

She was dodging all of the ice and lightning that came her way, but a small chunk of Yin Magma landed on her leg and she felt a burning pain on her leg. It was hot yet cold at the same time, but what she noticed is the Yin Magma seemed to be breaking down her skin almost like acid.

She quickly scooped the magma off of her and threw it away before retreating.

"It seems your Ice Domain changed, huh? Was it due to the Magma Dragon Body?" Maria asked.

"It seems so though I don't know what it does." Mira said.

"Weird… It seems that this weird magma stuff deteriorates by my skin almost like acid. It's rather unpleasant, Mira!" Maria recalled what just happened.

"Houu… Interesting. Let's end the spar here today, I want to test a few things out."

"Okay!"

Maria left the scene happily and sat down next to Celaine.

There they watched Mira together.

Mira was also thinking of the different possibilities she could use this Yin Magma for.

The first thing she did is have a massive amount of Yin Magma come into contact with her ice and lightning.

What happened next was outside of her expectations. A dense fog started to roll in as she made the Yin Magma deteriorate her ice. This caused her Yin Lightning to condense more and more until a massive storm started to occur with Mira at the center.

Mira kept this up for a while, but soon things started going out of control. The massive storm happening around her while intensifying and it didn't take long for Mira to lose control.

Yin Magma and Ice kept clashing with each other and Mira felt something bad was about to happen.

"Fuck… Get back!" Mira yelled as she ran away from this massive storm.

The dense fog made of Yin Magma, Yin Lightning, and ice started to collapse on itself. Things then got strangely quiet after it shrunk to around a meter long.

*BOOM*

The surroundings shook and what Mira knew as a 'Steam Explosion' took place except the size and damage caused was a bit out of proportion as it seemed to cover over 300 meters with the explosion.

Mira and the others ran a full kilometer away as they also had bad premonitions while Kayda didn't feel like stopping it since she found it interesting.

The 4 of them watched as their surroundings were covered in a dense fog.

They glanced at Mira, seemingly asking for an explanation but Mira just shrugged her shoulders.

"Quite effective… If I could somehow control this then maybe I will finally have some AOE attacks. If the scale was a bit bigger I might even be able to annihilate small towns with this…" Mira muttered to herself thinking about the future possibilities.

Maria and Celaine trembled and even Kayda was wondering if she heard things right.

'The first thing she thinks about is taking out small towns from the result of a failure? A little ruthless, but I like it.' Kayda thought to herself as she just kept watching.

Once the fog cleared up, they made their way back towards the sparring area. There wasn't much damage to the surroundings which was to be expected since they are near Kayda's Black Castle.

The three of them then continued to spar and Mira kept trying different ways to utilize her new Yin Magma. Sometimes, even Kayda would jump in and provide pointers, but she mostly just waited until Mira was finished sparring so the two of them could chat.

Time passed by quickly this way and the 3-month time limit was approaching, unbeknownst to the three of them.
