The seed of ice that bloomed inside Mira's soul slowly began seeping into her soul's shell. It started with just a piece, but as the World Core swallowed more of the white mists from the demons, turning them into fuel, more ice began to integrate with her soul.
"Urgh!" Mira grunted in pain, gritting her teeth so hard that blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth. Transforming her soul into a block of ice wasn't an entirely conscious decision, so she wasn't expecting the intense pain to come along with it. She was just letting her thoughts flow as they transformed her soul on their own.
Before long, Mira's soul, which had looked more like a white eggshell, was completely frozen solid. Normally, if someone froze their soul like this, they would die almost instantly. The soul is a vital and delicate part of one's body. Turning it into a block of ice wasn't much different from turning one's brain into ice!
