When Mira entered the Abyssal Battle Ladder, a humanoid shadow entered the large arena with her. The Shadow held a sword and was at the 1st Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Glancing at it, Mira barely felt any danger.
Her raw power and newly acquired Intents were more than enough to kill it, but when Mira thought about having to face 10 similar beings, she knew she'd have to put in a bit of effort, but that's about it.
The simple saying, "Nothing matters in the face of absolute power." fits this situation well. While Mira doesn't have absolute power, nor can she be considered invincible even against her current opponent, to say that she'd have to try and lose would be an understatement.
However, Mira didn't want to do that. Fighting against this Shadow is a chance! A chance for her to understand the power of a true prodigy! A chance for her to see someone utilize every ounce of potential!
