Lying in the coffin-like box made of ice, Michelle had to wait for a long time in silence before she noticed a change.
It was very subtle.
With not a speck of malicious aura and nearly nonexistent presence, a black slime-like creature crawled to the ice spread around. If it didn't touch the ice, Michelle wouldn't have even noticed it.
Swinging her eyes open, she stared at the jelly fluid moving around. If a seemingly harmless creature like that could move around so freely, it meant it was hiding its power.
Feeling it moving over the ice, Michelle knew that once it found the hole she left in the ice for breathing, it would slip inside. Then, she would be in dire trouble.
So she had to get rid of it before that happened.
Sending her spirit energy into the ice, she had huge black and whitish-blue spikes stab out of it, piercing through the slime. The next moment, she controlled the ice box to shatter and the shards flew away from her, pushing the slime creature away.
