Mira was jogging away from her cave as 11 young-looking women entered the Dark Moon Forest. 10 of those women are from the families or sects of the cities, but the last one is their guide. This was a lady that found the area where the 'Forest Goddess' cave was. She led the 10 of them to the cave that she found.

It didn't take them long to find the cave as the guide has already been there. Once they reached the area, they were a little surprised. The ground was dyed red and there were bones in everyone. There were also bodies of people that have been killed. They are just rotting there as the beasts refuse to enter this place. There is an aura of death lingering around the cave and the temperature around the cave is much colder than the rest of the forest.

"This place… It almost seems like she wanted beasts to come so that she can kill them." Someone said and the rest of them agreed.

"What I'm curious about though is why she only killed the men. It also seems like they didn't make it too far, as if they died before they could even speak. This is definitely interesting. This person seems to definitely hate men. Good thing we are all women." Another said after examining everything and everybody else nodded their head.

"Let's not just stand here. We came here to figure out who or what is doing this. Let's go."

They started walking towards the entrance, but they haven't heard anything, which is a bit odd.

"Hello! We come here from Lunar Fox City. We were wondering if you could talk to us. We mean no harm." The woman from the Rineheart family said loudly, but again no answer.

They were starting to get nervous as they weren't sure if this was good or bad. The Rineheart women suddenly started walking towards the cave. The others were a bit nervous but followed her regardless. Once they reached the cave, they understood. There was nobody here.

"It looks like nobody is home. It also seems like they took everything they had with them. We can either wait here for a bit or leave and report back. I think we should wait for a bit just to see if someone comes back then return to the city. I doubt someone will come back, but it doesn't hurt to wait for a bit."

Everyone thought for a while then agreed. It doesn't take long for them to get back to the city and they weren't busy anyway. Some sat down and meditated and others walked through the cave looking at the ice and wondering if they might find something interesting. While the ladies from Lunar Fox City were waiting, Mira ran into some trouble.

Right now she is face-to-face with a pack of wolves. Not just ordinary wolves either. They are Ghost Wolves. They get their name because of their fur. It has silver fur, but it looks almost clear. They are named ghost wolves because they look translucent due to what they look like.

This pack's alpha is a Low-Stage-Rank 2 Ghost Wolf. The pack that Mira is facing consists of the leader, 5 Peak-Stage-Rank 1, and 10 Ghost Wolves between Low-Stage-Rank 1 and Late-Stage-Rank 1 Ghost Wolves.

'Fuck! How unlucky that I just cross a pack of Ghost Wolves as they are out hunting. It looks like I will have to try and fight this one out. That Rank 2 is definitely faster than me and will surely kill me if I try to escape. I might have a chance if I kill all of the ones under the alpha fast enough so I can solely focus on him.'

With a plan in mind, Mira took out her scythe and took a deep breath in, and slowly exhaled. Her eyes sharpened and then she moved. She wanted to get rid of the Low-Stage-Rank 1 Wolves as quickly as possible as they are just fodder. She gathered momentum in her scythe and started releasing ice blades towards the weaker wolves. Every time her scythe rotated in front of her, blades of ice shot out. These blades wouldn't be enough to deal with the stronger wolves, but these weaker ones were nothing in front of them. All of the Low-Stage-Rank 1 wolves got sliced in half in an instant.

The other wolves could barely react. They looked at Mira cautiously. She was stronger than they expected. The Mid and Late-stage wolves jumped in. Mira shot more ice blades towards them and ran towards one of the Mid-Stage wolves. The Mid-Stage wolf swung his sharp claws down and destroyed the ice blade, but Mira immediately showed up in front of the wolf and decapitated it. It all happened so fast that the wolf couldn't react. Mira immediately left towards the next Mid-Stage wolf. The next wolf dodged the ice blade then charged at her, but with Mira swinging and rotating her scythe, gathering momentum, the wolf didn't last long. The wolf dove in to rip her throat, but Mira blocked the claws with her blade then rotated the scythe and knocked the wolf in the head with the pole end. After the wolf got dazed for a second, its head was removed from its body.

The rest of the wolves back off and the alpha started to walk forward.

'Shit! Too soon!' Mira thought.

The wolves howled for their fallen brethren, then the alpha immediately charged in to attack. The 10 girls that were waiting in Mira's old cave weren't too far away and heard the howl. They immediately started to come towards Mira.

Mira hasn't stopped gathering momentum in her scythe. She was able to block the alpha's attack, but she could feel her bones aching due to the strength behind that attack. Luckily her weapon is extremely durable or else it might have damage to it as well. She pushed the alpha away then backed off and used the remaining momentum to kill the remaining wolves under Peak-Stage. Now it was just Mira, the alpha wolf, and 5 Peak-Stage Rank 1 Ghost Wolves. They all just stood there and waited for a second. Mira kept twirling her scythe gathering her momentum back.

She decided to make the first move. She threw 5 ice blades towards the alpha and ran towards a pair of Peak-Stage wolves. She shot a couple of ice needles towards their eyes. They missed the eyes but caused to wolves to dodge. Mira swung her scythe and cut off their front legs. They dodged her swing just enough that it didn't kill them, but they couldn't move anymore.

Mira didn't bother wasting time executing them right now as the alpha was charging at her after destroying her ice blades. The alpha swiped his claws at her feet. She was a bit surprised by this as she thought he'd go for her head. She twirled the blade end of her scythe down towards her feet to block it. She was able to block most of it, but large gashes formed on her legs because she was a bit late to block all of them. She continued twirling her scythe after the block and smacked the alpha in the side of the head with the pole end and sent him flying 10s of meters back.

The 3 other Peak-Stage wolves were mid-jump when this happened and they slashed their claws on her back. Mira was able to continue her momentum to kill 1 wolf, but the other 2 formed large gashes on her back and shoulder. She was in immense pain but pushed through. The other 2 wolves were about to back off Mira sent ice needles into one of the wolf's eyes then swung her scythe down on the other wolf, like an executioner. She decapitated that wolf while the ice needles hit the eyes of the other wolf. He was yelping in pain, but Mira stabbed him in the head with the pole end of her scythe.

The Alpha wolf had gotten up and started charging at Mira. It got about 5 meters before Mira turned around. The alpha leaped towards her. Mira twirled her scythe with the blade end facing towards the sky and uppercut the scythe into the alphas stomach. She penetrated the alpha's stomach until one could see the other side of the blade sticking out on the other side. Her scythe still carried the momentum of her swing plus the wolf's leap and flew backward and crashed into a tree. Her back was in extreme pain, but she managed to get the alpha off of her scythe. She stood up and walked over to her bag that contained her herbs to help heal wounds. She threw this bag to the side before the fight started as to not ruin any of her herbs and plants. She crouched to grab the bag then stood up. She looked up with a faint smile on her face. She was glad that she survived this ordeal.

At this time the 10 girls from her old cave came to the fight scene. They were shocked to see that the fight ended, but then they looked at who seemed to be the perpetrator and gasped. They were in front of Mira around 50 meters away and were able to see her face. Her gorgeous shining silver hair, even covered in blood, is breathtaking by itself, but the wine-red eyes that now looked like blood on that face that looked like it was sculpted by the gods made this a scene that seemed too good for their eyes to see. They all thought one thing.

"Goddess."
