Maria coughed up a mouthful of blood as that attack sent her reeling, but she just activated her [Transcnedent Restoration] and was back to normal. Standing back up, she couldn't help but be surprised at how powerful Mira was.
'Even though I came prepared… As expected of her, I guess,' She thought bitterly. Ever since she'd known Mira, the woman had been overwhelmingly powerful. Her instincts were outrageous, and she trained as if her life depended on it.
With every battle, every training session, every day, she grew stronger. Now that she had so many buffs and enhancements, she was basically invincible amongst those in the same major realm as her.
However, ever since she broke through the Core Formation Realm and obtained a teacher, she's been planning for this day.
At first, it was just a thought that she had shelved, but once her parents died, she underwent a drastic change.
Sorry for the Cliff...
