Reincarnation of The Strongest War Goddess

Vanessa picked up the remnants of her already torn dress and tossed them upon the bed. Frustration very clear on her face...

Why had Duke Ernest seeked her presence?

Had he discovered that the real consciousness of Samara had been extinguished, or is witch Arykso there to perform the a divination on her?

Vanessa shivered and she quickly changed. She must not keep this duke waiting, it instantly triggered a memory that caused her to feel haunted.

Wearing a tinted blue dress, she checked herself and then with a smile, she walked out of the room.

Vanessa had only ever experienced her room, and not the huge mansion. But with the memories of the real Samara, Vanessa was safe.

She smiled deeply and entered a grand hall. The Mansion is something that had been built by the ancient rulers of Skyfall City whom had died in a civilization war and Ernest just happened to be the current inheritor. Not that it was actually inherited fair and square.

Vanessa know this due to the memories of Samara. Samara could not question her father, not even Donovan could stand up to Ernest. He is like a roaring fire breathing dragon, the strongest, almost undefeatable. With Witch Arykso by his side, he remains invincible.

Vanessa's eyes grew cold. "That's false invincibility. If Witch Arykso dies or vanishes, he loses everything."

But then, a thought crossed her mind...

"Should I kill Witch Arykso myself?"

Suddenly, Rica laughed manically that it annoyed Vanessa. She was silent at first, listening as the Primordial God laughed, but she got fed up and asked:

"What's so funny?"

"God damnit, you are very funny Lil girl, hahahahahahaha."

Vanessa's already bright face dimmed, radiating her fury. "Very funny Rica. I don't understand why you think my idea was bad."

Rica snorted. "It's good that you realized by yourself."

Vanessa's eyes widened, "but I did not—"

She did not complete her statement and Rica spoke. "Kill Arykso yourself? You wouldn't even know how you died. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is invincible doesn't mean that it cannot be countered by an unfathomable power. Arykso is one such power. Do not step on her tails."

Vanessa gulped.

"You're going to have a discussion with Duke Ernest, act accordingly. I might have tweaked a few strings and Ice will be here for you."

Vanessa's brows furrowed.

"Ice, ice, ice... Where have I heard that name. Oh, yes one of the Primordial God? The old man you and Vanity spoke of? Is he out of seclusion?"

Rica remained silent for a few moments and then answered: "Yes, he's a strict man. He's here for you. One last thing, he's capable of reverting you back to your true form, that's why I have made some arrangements, your training would not be in Skyfall City."

"My true form?" Vanessa was stunned.

"Yes, he knows when another consciousness invades another body. It's more like an innate gift." Rica explained and Vanessa nodded.

When she stopped hearing Rica's voice, she quickly moved so as not to keep the Duke waiting.

Eventually, she met him.

'Ugh, how can a man be so ugly.'

Duke Ernest's face was scrunched up, his discomfort rather evident. Vanessa had delayed him.

"You delayed."

Vanessa did not know what to say. Saying sorry would simply trigger his anger, she refrained from it.

"That's not my reason for calling you. We would definitely settle this score. From now on, you will have to follow this man. He's going to teach you to cultivate properly. Your essence had slowed down greatly and it's affecting me spiritually," he shook his head.

"This is..."

Vanessa wanted to call him Ice, but the face of a very handsome man appeared to her view. He was so breathtaking that Vanessa couldn't help but wonder if it really is the old man Rica talked about. He was looking so extraordinary, as if humans could never look this way, only gods.

"... Prince Zeres from the southern seas. He'll be taking you to the southern seas."

Vanessa's eyes widened, but she did not say anything. She wasn't even supposed to say anything. All of a sudden, Ernest turned towards the beautiful looking man.

"You remember the deal right?"

The handsome old man Ice, as Vanessa knew him said, his voice extremely sweet to her ears. "I will have to have sex with her every three days and enchant her body with limoneum potion."

Duke Ernest smiled brightly. "Take her away."

Vanessa was dumbstruck. Sex? Isn't this old bastard tired of this? He always seem to want me or Donovan to have sex every single time, why is that so?

Her suspicions rose surreptitiously. "Does it have to do with the rituals?

Vanessa herself knew that she is not supposed to panic since Rica had actually set the whole thing up, but is this the old man's actual look? Is he this handsome or is he using another body?

It's possible. It's a God, he's not supposed to use his real face on the mortal realm.

The man gentle strode over and grabbed Vanessa's hands, instantly they both vanished.

The moment their both hands connected, Vanessa's true body started to manifest. Her raven black hair, her beautiful silver eyes. Her snow-white skin.

The man did not spare her a glance, but he spoke:

"Rica must have told you in advance, am I right?"

Vanessa glared at his hands that were as cold as Ice. His hands were extremely cold.

With a shiver, Vanessa asked: "You must be Ice. You're extremely cold."

The handsome man turned towards her, his dark unfathomable eyes glaring at her as if searching the depth of her soul.

He immediately laughed.

"You really are something. To have been found by Rica, that bastard..."

Vanessa was excited. "Right, I think so too."

The man gave her a piercing gaze that made her nervous.

"A path to Invincibility, The Six Paths of Reincarnation, The sixth card's essence? You might even surpass me in the future."

Vanessa opened her mouth but no words came out of it.
