ira felt her body craving for the Ice Elemental Essence in front of her. She instinctually knew that if she were to absorb this, her battle prowess would increase by a vast amount.

Luckily, it seemed the Ice Elemental Essence hasn't noticed her yet or things might've already become troublesome. This is because Mira has been concealing her aura as much as possible while exploring the dungeon, the same goes for Maria and Celaine.

Various plans were racing through Mira's mind at this moment as she tried to come up with the best plan that will allow her to snatch and absorb this treasure.

After a few seconds of thinking, Mira was able to come up with what she thinks is the best solution in order to capture this thing.

She immediately created a barrier blocking the stairs that led up to the next floor. While this prevented the Ice Elemental Essence from escaping, it also blocked Maria and Celaine from entering, but this wasn't too much of a problem. They probably wouldn't be of much use due to how cold it was in this room.

The Ice Elemental Essence finally noticed someone has intruded into its space and started to panic. Even though it may seem like it's alive, in truth and Elemental Essence only has a few thoughts; Grow old, Get Strong, Run away from everything, and occasionally fight back if they feel threatened.

Elemental Essences get stronger due to two reasons, age and the amount of their specific element that's nearby. The older an Elemental Essence is, the stronger it'll become and if an Elemental Essence, for example, this Ice Elemental Essence, is surrounded by an overabundant amount of rich and dense ice then its growth may accelerate. Even with an abundance of that specific element, age is still the main factor as it takes a very long time for Elemental Essences to gain more power.

Mira didn't bother saying anything and just dashed in closer to the Ice Elemental Essence.

But how could the Ice Elemental Essence just sit there and be captured by some random thief?

The Elemental Essence dodged out of the way and started to flutter around the room like a scared baby cub.

Mira, instead of needlessly chasing this annoying thing around, decided to try out how effective her Absolute Ice Dao would be after making a breakthrough in her comprehension not too long ago.

She focused on sensing the fluttering Ice Elemental Essence and it didn't take her long until she was able to 'feel' it.

She let out a deep breath and unleashed the full might of her Absolute Ice Dao!

The room they were in started to tremble and Mira felt like she descended upon this room not as a human, but as a deity.

Then an incomprehensible amount of data flooded her mind due to her connection with all of the ice in the surrounding area. She was able to feel every little thing all of the way up to the fifth floor of the dungeon.

She could feel Maria and Celaine standing on the ice right outside this room, she could feel the Ice Elemental Essence's aura and even figured that she had to capability to contain it, the same goes for the rest of the ice in the surrounding area. She felt like she's able to control the temperature to some degree. Although not as much as she'd like due to how strong the surrounding ice is.

She felt like a sovereign who had absolute control over ice and even basic control over lightning and magma.

Unknown to Mira, an ice crown was slowly planted on her head as if to recognize her as the ruler over ice. This crown had many slots on it and most were empty at the moment except for four. These slots contained an azure-flame gem, lightning gem, an earth gem, and a large ice crystal in the center. One thing to note though is these gems only took up a minuscule portion of the slots.

While the ice crystal probably took up around 1% of the slot, the other 3 gems didn't even makeup 1% of their slots.

Mira was unaware of this, but even if she was it wouldn't have made much of a difference right now as there is nothing much she can do about it. The only thing she might be curious about is why there is a fire and earth gem rather than a magma gem, but that's rather easy to figure out. Magma is a sub-element of fire and earth combined.

But none of this mattered to Mira right now as all she cared about was snatching and absorbing this Ice Elemental Essence.

All the while, her target felt so terrified that it dare not move.

Mira looked at the now stationary Ice Elemental Essence and grinned. She raised her hand and beckoned the Ice Elemental Essence to come forth.

The Elemental Ice Essence didn't even get a chance to reject as it was forcefully pulled over to Mira and landed right in her hand.

She inspected it a bit while somewhat admiring the Elemental Ice Essence. The icy mist had blood-red streaks going through it while emanating a somewhat malevolent aura.

Normal people might be slightly frightened or apprehensive to absorb something vicious like this Ice Elemental Essence that seemed to be able to either grow stronger by absorbing others' blood or maybe that's just how it was born, but Mira welcomed it! Good and evil are subjective and the only thing that reigns true is strength! She's killed an incalculable amount of people and if she had the ability to absorb their blood to get stronger, then she wouldn't have hesitated to use such an ability!

Mira turned toward the ice barrier she created and dissipated it.

"I'll be going into seclusion for a bit to absorb this Ice Elemental Essence. Guard me!" Mira order while tossing out her Qi Gathering Array and some Spirit Stones for them to cultivate.

The two of them barely had any time to comprehend what was happening, but after a few seconds, they understood that Mira found a great treasure in this room, an Ice Elemental Essence! Knowing that Mira can't afford to wait for a better time to absorb it, the two of them decided to pick up the Qi Gathering Array to cultivate while Mira absorbs it.

Meanwhile, Mira had already sat down and absorbed the Ice Elemental Essence into her body.

Usually, an Elemental Essence would start rampaging around the body of the one that absorbed it, but Mira's case was a bit special. It could barely do anything under the pressure of the Absolute Ice Dao and on top of that, Mira directed a portion of her killing intent at it as an extra measure.

There was only one ending for the Ice Elemental Essence and that is to be used as a stepping stone for Mira's rise in power!
