A few minutes passed since the beginning of the fight, yet nothing in particular happened. Mira and Robin kept dashing around the battlefield, dodging as many attacks as possible.
Mira, of course, wouldn't be Mira though if she didn't retaliate and even when she's pushed to such a state, she still managed to kill off a few beasts. Unfortunately, even though she was able to take a few of them out, she was only able to kill a few of the beasts who dared to attack her head-on.
If not for her sending all of her Qi and Ice Dao comprehension into her wings, she would've been able to take out a few more, but doing so would be a huge waste of time and energy. Once her new wings are finished, she'll be able to go on a complete ramage rather than only being able to aim for the weaker ones while being careful of attacks from behind and above.
The only problem she might have is dealing with some of the stronger Rank 6 beasts who have yet to appear in front of her.
'Well, that's what Rhydian's for hehe~'
Mira chuckled to herself as she dodged a barrage of fireballs thrown at her from a few of the long-rage beasts.
Watching those fireballs literally destroy everything in their path, Mira's disdain towards these mindless beasts increased.
'Sigh… This is why sometimes less is more. Oh well~ It's not like I'm complaining as that's the only reason why I can be so casual.'
What Mira meant by that is if there weren't nearly as many beasts surrounding her and trying to attack her at the same time, then she might really be in danger. This is simply because not only are the beasts killing their own, but they are also wasting the power of their attacks by attacking her at the same time.
For example, many plants are trying to pierce, bind, and trap her, but they can't because of the beasts that are launching one fireball after another. When these fireballs miss, or even if they hit her, they still affect the surrounding plants, nearly killing them. Some of them have even died because of this!
This isn't the only example either! The beasts who don't have elemental affinities and only use their fists are constantly climbing over each other or sometimes even straight up killing each other just to get to her!
Mira's sure that as long as she lives, she doesn't even need to do anything before these beasts eventually kill each other off!
That's why Mira felt almost no fear in this situation, simply due to how chaotic it is. Well, this only applies to Mira. After all, she's been in situations much worse than this as a mortal. She can remember fighting off groups of people who have archers, knights, shieldmen, and cavalry!
Can you imagine facing this kind of line-up as a normal person? Not only does she have to fight off people on horses, but she has to do so while calculating the timing and trajectory of the bowmen!
Naturally, Mira didn't get out of such battles unscathed and was normally on the brink of death every time she encountered a similar situation, but that only proves that her capabilities have far surpassed what a normal person, even a cultivator, could do.
And if Mira can survive and even win against well-trained men who fight methodically and with intelligence, then she can easily survive against a group of beasts who aren't using any of their intelligence or instincts.
Unfortunately, Robin didn't share this sentiment and doesn't have eyes in the back of her head like Mira does. Consequently, she keeps getting hit by one ability after another and is forced to eat healing pills like candy.
Thankfully, they're in a place full of a dense amount of Qi so her injuries heal up extremely quickly, but that doesn't make her feel any better. On the contrary, when she occasionally catches glimpses of Mira's fight, she can't help but feel a bit inferior.
Mira's over there dodging attacks almost like she knows when and where they're going to appear. Meanwhile, she's still fumbling around like a child!
Thinking like this, her eyes narrowed and she immediately shook those thoughts away.
'No! If Mira can do something like that, then so can I! How can I, someone approaching the Peak of the Core Formation Realm, lose to a Foundation Realm brat?!'
With her thoughts now stabilized, Robin knew that she had to do something to go from being the hunted to the hunter!
From the brief glances she took at Mira, she knew that she was using the overabundant amount of Qi and her intelligence to her advantage. Her mind started working in overdrive trying to come up with something that can turn her situation around.
That's when a thought hit her.
What's her biggest problem right now?
The number of beasts? No.
The strength of her enemies? No.
The number of attacks flying at her from all over the place? YES!
Currently, her number one problem is the frequency at which attacks come flying at her. So, how can she turn such a situation around?
Easy! She just needs to redirect those attacks so instead of hitting her, they hit her enemies instead!
And what's the best way to do such a thing? Of course, it's to use her Wind Affinity! Sure, she can try and keep dodging, but clearly, that's not working out.
That's when a memory of a tornado popped into her mind. She saw people shooting fireballs, ice spears, lightning bolts, and all kinds of things at the tornado. Yet, the tornado spun with such speed that it carried those attacks in its current and shot them in random directions.
Now, if only she could harness a similar power and control the direction of the attacks, then it'd be perfect!
So, that's exactly what she planned to do! Luckily, her Qi reserves are rather large as a Core Formation Realm expert and the dense Qi in the area allows her to replenish her Qi at an extreme speed so she didn't need to worry about the consumption of such a technique.
Now knowing what she needs to do, Robin began using her understanding of her Wind Dao to create a cyclone about 2 meters in diameter. This cyclone would act as a vacuum, sucking in the projectiles into it and then spitting them back out the other side, which will be wherever she's pointing the cyclone at the time.
This technique also consumes a large amount of Qi just like Mira's, but she didn't have to worry about that here and could almost keep it up indefinitely just like how the beasts around her could keep attacking her without rest.
After she formed her new ability, she immediately put it into action. Seeing a group of ice spikes fly in her direction, she decided to use those as her test subjects.
She controlled the back end of the cyclone to engulf the ice spikes and then watched how they traveled in the cyclone, then shot out the other side impaling a nearby beast!
"Yes!! I did it! Alright, let's test this thing out a bit more!" Robin got excited at being able to create her own ability and began experimenting with other attacks that were thrown at her.
From fireballs to light beams, Robin gained a lot of useful knowledge regarding this new ability and how powerful it is and from what she can tell, it's quite powerful.
So far, her cyclone isn't fast enough or strong enough to bend light and darkness so those abilities are out of the question until she gets more powerful or finds a way to counter this, but most other attacks can get caught in her cyclone. Even other beasts can be captured in her cyclone and thrown around as long as her cyclone is big enough.
Of course, there are still limitations to that, but it made her happy nonetheless.
With this new ability, the number of injuries she racked up started to lessen. While the number of beasts she started to kill or wound increased drastically.
Mira caught sight of Robin using this new ability of hers and released a faint smile. She had to give Robin credit because the girl really came up with a good idea and was able to implement it on the spot.
She could tell that this girl was a diamond in the rough and as long as she had the right teacher, she would go far in her Cultivation journey. However, even though Mira felt like she was a talent, she wasn't going to do anything about it. As much as she had a favorable impression of the girl, they walked different paths.
Shaking her head from these thoughts, Mira realized that her wings are nearly complete. Right now, she can tell that the power held within each feather is like a mini nuclear bomb. They were sharper than her scythe, more durable than her body, and each one weighs several hundred kilograms due to their density!
Now, she could finally begin her rampage!
