Tisha's parent's last words resonated across her heart, as she had trained herself relentlessly over many years, toning her body into a strong warrioress that everyone could depend on! she made herself the chief of the now nomadic tribe of ice elves, and led them to survive…
However, due to an ice storm which she couldn't predict, they were forced into unexplored territory and captured by a large group of bandits. She was blackmailed into obeying them as her people were captured, she couldn't possibly let her people die, and ended being confined as a slave waiting to be sold in the Ice Moon Sect…
She was never used because her captors found her scar-filled and muscle-toned body disgusting, but her people were abused horrendously, and many of them died by the abuse of their captors, filling her with grief and also eternal gratitude when Drake showed up to save them, while also avenging them by slaying the bastard that did all of that.
Tisha's people had now recovered greatly from their horrendous states, while those that were killed or left in near-death states were then reborn by Drake's request. They didn't want to be humanoid anymore but acquire strong bodies. Despite becoming ice golems and snow golems these people were still welcomed in Tisha's tribe and recognized as who they originally were.
She couldn't possibly discriminate against their decision because she had also entered into despair many times, wishing to have a stronger body, less frail, less fleshy… these people had gone through an even deeper and more horrendous hell, it was obvious they wanted to leave their fleshy bodies aside and become strong warriors that could depend on themselves alone.
Now, as her tribe was recovered, grew stronger, and became part of Drake's Winter Dragon Sect, they were all overflowing with great power, at least the weakest ones were Rank 2 Peak Stage, while the others were Rank 3 already! Even Ice Golems and Snow Golems were this strong! Now, they took the shape of their humanoid selves back then, but made of snow and ice, resembling majestic fairies and mystical beings…
Tisha herself exuded the powerful icy aura of a Rank 3 Peak Stage, she was very close to getting into Rank 4, only she was required to hunt more and more beasts to acquire their mana cores and then pay for them to be made into Cultivation Potions, but for now, she had come as she was without worrying about such things, leading her squadron of dozens of ice elves, and ice and snow golems while keeping the words of her parents in her heart, and while putting her will into her Blade Techniques…
She raised her Blade into the skies while roaring loudly, like a true warrior. Her shiny and glorious presence exuded an air of a Hero like the ice giants had never seen before in their lives.
"Father… mother… I will show the world what we are made of… Move!" roared Tisha, as not only she was fighting, but several other Ice Elves, Ice Golems, and Snow Golems that were part of her squadron, all marching forward and annihilating Shadow Beasts from left and right!
The Ice Elves were distributed in both physical fighters and magicians, while there were some hybrids in between, most of them were pretty good at magic, powerful icy winds began to blow away the shadow beasts while spears of ice pierced their bodies, there were also strong users of ice magic which made them into weapons they wielded, throwing them constantly at their enemies by abusing the techniques they learned for extra damage. Some others called upon the elemental spirits they had contracted, much like Light Elves, Ice Elves also had a great affinity with spirits! Many of them had a few of them, except Tisha who had no affinity for them.
Employing the power of their spirits, the Ice Elves unleashed a variety of different attacks of all kinds. One of them summoned a Poison Spirit and deadly corrosive poison bullets, another summoned a Thunder Spirit and filled his weapon with zapping thunderbolts, while another summoned a Fire Spirit, unleashing a storm of flames!
Meanwhile, the ice and snow golems rushed forward, only using their naturally gifted power to fight for the most part, as they had now the bodies of powerful material-type monsters, they didn't waste them at all, several ice golems shaped their hands and legs as sharp spears, and danced around the battlefield, jumping, and doing all sorts of acrobatics, while slashing and piercing through their targets with ease, as if their entire bodies were made of blades.
The large Snow Golems were larger and slower, but they shaped easily into all sorts of beasts, and even to the point of mimicry the Shadow Beasts shapes, attacking them back in the form of bears, wolves, and even giant flying birds. Their powerful attacks charged the might of Rank 2 Peak Stage or Rank 3 fighters!
Tisha led her party of strong fighters pridefully, her blows pierced through the bodies of countless shadow beasts, as her amazing techniques mixed her magic into it.
CLASH!
A hit in the ground using her blade made the ground tremble, as spears made of ice began to be born all around her, piercing the shadow beasts getting near her in an instant! She was devastating the battlefield!
However, in the shadows, as more Shadow Beasts were being massacred, a large sphere of darkness grew larger, absorption the leftover Shadow Energy left by them… a mysterious man laughed maliciously as he activated a special technique and shaped this massive mass of shadows into the form of a beast!
"Maybe we cannot create soldiers out of nowhere without a ritual, but we had learned how to repurpose the shadows leftover and make the most out of it!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, a massive multi-headed monster rushed forward! It resembled a horrid combination between bears, wolves, cats, and birds, a chimera in the body of a bear with various heads, tails, and large wings, all made of shadows!
"GROAR!"
This gigantic monster greeted the army of Ice Elves, fiercely attacking them!
Tisha immediately moved to intercept it!
CLASH!
