Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Chapter 250 Bones



After 2 days of what seemed like never-ending torture, Mira's original body was remade and this dreadful place had finally stopped ripping her apart.

"Fucking hell! Finally! My body is back! Does that mean I passed? Fuck! Of course, I passed. If not I'd be dead right now… Sigh, what the hell did I get myself into? I sure hope whatever is at the end of all this is worth it…"

Mira barely got to finish that thought before she was forcefully teleported to another place. A small shiver went down her spine as she mentally prepared herself for whatever this place would throw at her.

Right now, she wanted nothing more than to leave this shit hole. Normally she wouldn't be like that, but this has got to be one of the worst places she's ever come across in all of her existence. What's worse is that she walked into it willingly…

However, she's not going to complain or make any excuses. She's a big girl who can take responsibility for her actions and see it through to the end.

When Mira's body was being teleported, she was fully preparing her soul for whatever crazy soul torture this place will do to her. That would make sense, right? This place first tested her mind with, then her body, and the overarching theme of these tests was her willpower or more precisely her will to live. It would only make sense that the next test would be Soul Torture, right?

That's what Mira would like to think…

However, reality is often disappointing.

After a few seconds, Mira was finally teleported to her next destination and immediately checked the state of her body.

She was happy to know that she can actually move around. Not only that but none of her limbs are bound and her strength isn't sealed. She sighed in relief as having full control over her body brought some level of comfort to her.

After Mira checked out her body, she checked out her surroundings and that's when her expression froze.

She was in a massive colosseum except this one looked a bit weird. There were no seats for the audience nor was there anyone or anything present. The ground was cracked and these cracks were filled with a purplish-black substance that almost looked like veins.

The whole arena reeked of death in more ways than one.

*ROOOOOAAAARRR*

Mira was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard a terrifying roar. She took out her scythe and distanced herself from where that noise came from. Mira was extremely grateful that she took such an action because the place where she previously stood blew up and a large beast? was standing there looking at her.

Well, Mira would like to call it a beast, but it was actually nothing more than a bunch of bones. There was no skin, fur, blood, or flesh on this thing. It was just an amalgamation of bones that somehow gained the ability to move.

Honestly, Mira's not even sure how that thing just roared nor could she even figure out where its face is located.

The thing, that she'll be referring to as a 'Bone Chimera' from now on, had what looked like 10 legs of different sizes, 12 arms, 3 necks but only 2 heads, 4 tails, and 5 wings. Yes, that's 5 wings and not 5 pairs of wings. It really didn't look like anything other than a huge mess. All of the bones that made up this Bone Chimera were from a bunch of different beasts.

Not only that, but it was really fucking ugly. However, even if that was the case Mira couldn't disregard its strength.

She could tell that the force contained in that punch just now would seriously injure her. She mused that she can probably take at most 2 of those punches before she's reduced to a pile of mush.

What's worse is that she's not even sure what the goal of this test is. Is she supposed to kill this thing? Is she supposed to survive for a certain period of time? Or maybe she's supposed to die from it? She wouldn't be surprised if that was actually the case knowing first-hand how fucked up this place was.

Mira sighed to herself and shook those thoughts out of her head. The tests so far have wanted to push her willpower to the absolute limit and then go beyond that.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I just need to beat the shit out of this guy. It seems the feeling is mutual seeing as how this guy has a BONE to pick with me. Hehe~"

Mira chuckled at her 'humerus' joke… Ah, fuck she's at it again with the terrible skeleton puns.

The two stopped playing around and dashed straight towards each other. When Mira noticed how idiotic this Bone Chimera fought, she started losing interest. Sure, the thing might be strong, but it's not overwhelmingly stronger. If this is all that this thing amounts to then Mira's a bit disappointed.

She dodged its fists and smashed her scythe into its rib cage. Surprisingly, she broke a number of its bones. However, a split second later, those bones regenerated and the Bone Chimera was back to full health.

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ

Mira saw that and felt a headache coming on.

"Tibia honest, I'm not looking forward to this bone-breaking event… Hehe~"

Well, at least she can keep making shitty bone puns…

The fight raged on, but Mira found the whole thing boring and uninteresting. The Bone Chimera was so telegraphed with its attacks that Mira could fight this thing with a blindfold on and a hand tied behind her back.

The only annoying part was that its bones would regenerate almost immediately after Mira destroyed them.

She tried using her ice powers and Qi attacks on it, but for whatever reason this thing was immune to those. Hell, the thing was even immune to the portion of her scythe. The only way to damage it was by dealing damage with the blunt end of her scythe or with her fists.

This made Mira a bit confused and she wasn't quite sure what the intentions of this test were. It was too easy. Maybe whatever's in charge didn't take into account Mira's physical strength, fighting prowess, or scythe skills? Or maybe this is some kind of never ending battle where she's supposed to keep her concentration at the max since just one hit from that thing and she's pretty much done for? That sort of made sense. However, Mira barely needs to use any of her brain power to deal with the Bone Chimera.

This whole thing might be incredibly difficult for someone who has limited experience and low physical strength, but that wasn't the case for Mira.

In fact, Mira was somewhat enjoying herself as she was able to keep making bone puns as she fought the Bone Chimera!

"Goddam, you're such a numskull! How could you think that such an attack could hit me?"

ROAR

"Come on! Put your back into it! Oh wait, you don't have a back! Hehe~"

ROOAAR

"What the hell? Did your creator remove your funny bone or something because that was a good one!"

ROOAAAARR

"Motherfucker! If you have the guts, I dare you to say that again…! Oh, wait. You don't have any guts! Hahaha!"

The fight raged on for several hours with Mira constantly making… 'witty'... comments about the Bone Chimera. The giant amalgamation of bones was never even able to hit Mira a single time. Actually, it didn't even come close to hitting Mira.

It didn't matter if it used its arms, legs, heads, tails, and wings at the same time, Mira would always be able to predict its next moves and act accordingly.

In truth, Mira was barely paying attention to the fight. She could literally see through the guy so figuring out his next moves was child's play for her. It might've been a bit more difficult if this thing had some skin covering its bones, but it didn't.

However, Mira did notice that the purplish-black veins on the floor were receding ever so slightly when it regenerated its smashed bones.

So she just kept bludgeoning its bones until the veins on the ground were almost gone and after a few hours she had the feeling she was almost done with this test.

When the purplish-black veins on the ground were almost gone, Mira went in for one last attack with a smirk.

"Bone-voyage!"

Then she smashed her scythe into the Bone Chimera to which the thing finally reduced to dust and stopped regenerating.

Mira said nothing else and decided to use this little bit of time to recuperate. She didn't know what her next test will be but being at her peak is never a bad thing.

Unfortunately for Mira, she only got around 10 seconds to regain a bit of her energy before she was forcefully teleported to another location.

When Mira finally landed in her new location, she sighed.

"I should've known…"
