Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs

Chapter 416  Let's Die Together

When she had begun drawing the seals, Mira's greatest fear had been how much time she had.

Mira had been scared she would be caught up to before she could complete her seal, but it seems she had underestimated the guards assigned to protect her because though they did die, something she could not blame them for considering they were ambushed and outnumbered, she found herself with a more than a minute to activate her seal before the first of her enemies arrived and began bombarding her with attacks.

For the first few minutes that the circular 1-meter wide shield was being bombarded with attacks as her opponent tried to take it down, Mira had been curled on the ground and couldn't help but cry.

Outside the barrier, everyone there was a general-level cultivator, an expert who could single-handedly squash her.

Feeling the earth and her just erected barrier tremble without stop, the floodgates of Mira's eyes opened as she lamented her life, remembering all she had been through, but then as time passed, seconds turning into a minute and a minute close to reaching three, Mira got a bit of a grip on herself and opened her eyes.

"I'm still alive," was the thought that went through her head.

Despite the rocks being unevenly placed and the seal being rapidly drawn, Mira had pushed through and built the barrier as her last stance against the world's fate for her.

Mira had put her all into creating the barrier, wanting to do her best, but in the end, even she had expected it to go down after just a minute of bombardment.

"Was I wrong about the seal's sturdiness, are they perhaps holding back?" Mira had thought, her tears drying up as she stared at the seal, watching the blue and red-clothed cultivators standing outside who were shouting words she couldn't hear at her, and proceeding to angrily summon their qi and send techniques hitting her barrier.

With each passing second, the shield shook harder, and cracks threatened to appear on it, but with each second that went by, Mira felt her heartbeat quickening.

It wasn't because of fear or terror but because of hope and a bit of excitement.

"My barrier is strong, my seals are working, I can work on them and make them stronger, I can add more seals and upgrade the quality, I can do this."

With these thoughts in mind, Mira had gone to work, strengthening the seal which she had already drawn and adding new ones.

It was with this method that she had survived since the evening of the previous day, surviving the attacks of the night and seeing the morning of this morning.

Here she stood, Ryan Mira, a mere 2nd sage soldier-level cultivator, successfully holding back dozens of General cultivators, never in Mira's life had she felt so proud.

Though she couldn't hear their words, Mira could see the anger and frustration of her enemy, she could see the weariness and shock in their eyes, their disbelief at her abilities.

Though her skill had been recognized by the rebel faction of the kingdom, and she had been given a high position, her feelings of fulfilment at the moment surpassed whatever she had felt back then.

Despite her lack of cultivation talent, Mira had always dreamed of engaging in battles, and though she wasn't killing anyone at the moment, the sight of the frustrated foes before her was enough.

Unfortunately, as much as she loved this sight and feeling, everything had to come to an end.

When it was all said and done, the reality of Mira's situation was that the barrier could only delay the inevitable.

Mira had hoped to stall long enough for help to come, but looking at the energized and unworried men glaring at the barrier just as the morning arrived, she knew that no one was coming.

As awesome as Mira's barrier was, it consumed a lot of qi, qi which she could never supply and could only get from qi stones. As many stones as she had, in the end, they were limited.

While the enemy had the option to wisely take a break for the night, Mira's barrier had no such option, and it could only keep running for the entire night consuming Qi stones as it went.

Now this morning, the enemy had resumed their attacks, with appropriate rest and tons of qi stones which they had at their disposal.

This time, they hit her barrier far harder than yesterday when they had just come from engaging in a tough battle.

Their attacks shook her barrier, and in the end, despite the many upgrades she had done to it, it still required qi stones, qi stones which she soon found herself running out of and was forced to contribute the little qi she had within her.

"Ahh if only the world could see this, if only everyone could see this and know I'm not some failure of a cultivator, if they could see my brilliance," Mira muttered.

As Mira muttered these words, she bit her lips to keep her now draining body awake.

With her qi being siphoned, Mira's body further dipped into the well of fatigue, but she knew better than to succumb to the well's tactics.

"Laugh and rejoice all you want," Mira thought, looking at the smiles that were beginning to climb on the faces of the men outside the barrier as they gazed upon her weak form,

"Since you've decided that I will die today, then I've also decided that I won't be dying alone."

Mira acknowledged that she had done her best and that now she was at her limits.

The woman had no interest in being captured, so she began turning the qi within the barrier chaotic.

"If they are going to blast apart my barrier, let them do it. I just hope they won't be angry when I also blast them apart."

As these thoughts went through Mira's head, a wide smile grew on her face.

Seeing the several cracks that began appearing on the barrier, Mira began laughing crazily, closing her eyes as she waited for the inevitable doom.

"Ha ha ha ha ha haaa haaa. haa…...."

At first, Mira felt excitement and liberation as she began laughing widely, but as seconds passed and she didn't feel any harm come to her body, no roaring sound of an explosion taking place as her barrier was destroyed, her laughter slowly died down, and she opened her eyes, wondering why she was still alive and weirdly enough feeling a wild wind blowing against her.

Slowly, Mira blinked her eyes open, and rather than the image of her shield somehow still surviving or the faces of the red and blue-cloaked men who had come to attack her, she found herself staring at a blue beast some steps away carrying two individuals with tightened and ashen expressions on its back and one with a deadpan look being carried on the head.

"Did your near-death experience make you crazy?"
