Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

—–

As both of my daughters sat down and closed their eyes, channeling their focus into their souls, I extended my own, in the shape of two threads of golden light. They were quickly connected to theirs, as I felt the interior of their souls.

For a moment, it truly felt like I was drowning below an endless sea of divine power, both of them had a gigantic amount of it, so much it rivaled my own. However, I quickly sought after the Draconic Energy, it wasn’t hard, it was wild, going to every place inside their souls at once.

“Very destabilized, must be because you’re too strong.”

I quickly gathered it and then extended it outside, the two girls gritted their teeth, I could see they were visually uncomfortable, perhaps this was a bit too much. But it had to be done. Their focus was quickly harnessed into this aura of power.

“Now, slowly.”

The two focused, Mana and Divine Power becoming one, extending around the draconic energy and slowly trying to shape it into tiny dragon heads, as I told them. Benladra was having the hardest time, her one was never taking a shape, and it was slowly escaping her grasp. Kate was calmly trying, but hers was also dissipating.

I learned how to wield this energy naturally, as if it was always part of myself, but it seems other dragons take a while to properly use it. Surtr can cheat it because he receives the help of the souls he can summon with his unique “System” made out of his Unique Skills Powers and the Authority of Muspel’s soul, but Emerald has little idea how to shape it. I’ll have to teach those two how to properly use it as well.

Maybe I can use it easily because I am the Dragon King, and it just comes with the Title? Well, whatever the case…

SPLAT!

Benladra’s dragon head exploded before she could do anything with it, and this startled Kate, breaking her focus and making her fail too. Both ended failing, ending very tired.

“Papa this is unfair! It is way too hard!” Benladra angrily said, she was frustrated. “Why is it so hard? Aren’t we talented dragons like you said?”

“Hmm…” Kate sighed.

“You are, but I guess controlling Draconic Energy is just that hard.” I said. “Alright, don’t feel frustrated. I told you that it would take its time, right? Let’s do it again, you’re not really tired.”

“Okay…” Benladra sighed. “I’ll do it this time!”

“Me too.” Kate nodded.

The two tried for a couple of hours, but they were barely advancing. Benladra’s focus was terrible, she was unable to control Draconic Energy, the energy itself was very powerful and potent, it naturally escaped her grasp constantly, as if it didn’t like her at all.

While Kate seemed to have much more focus than her older sister, she still failed at the end, many times, although she had stronger focus, her grasp was weak compared to Benladra, making the energy simply escape before she could even do much with it.

After having eaten lunch, we continued training. The two were decided on doing this today. I guided them as much as I could, manipulating the energy for them even, and then telling them to imitate me. But every time they tried; it would fail.

“Hmmm… Benladra, your grasp is strong, but your focus is very lacking. It feels like your thoughts are very wild. You have to set aside all your thoughts and focus on a single task.” I told her.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm “Yeah, it’s hard…” Benladra sighed. “I can’t help but always be thinking about a lot of stuff, papa… I’m not good at concentrating.”

“Kate, your focus is really good, but your grasp is very weak.” I told her. “You have to concentrate your power more.”

“I know…” Kate gave a sigh. “But I fear it might be too much and it might explode…”

“Hmm… What to do.” I sighed, looking into the skies.

My daughters need enlightenment and a way to breakthrough this bottleneck. I’ve been gifted with many abilities, making most of their difficulties a breeze for me. So I lack the experience to help them. But the most I can do is try to help them as much as I can. They need guidance.

“Alright, let’s begin again.” I smiled. “This time, we’ll do things differently… Benladra, you will try to grasp Draconic Energy while fighting.”

“Eh? Fighting?” Benladra quickly got up, wagging her tail. “Now we’re talking dad!”

“And me?” Kate asked curiously.

“You will try manipulating draconic energy while constructing your mechs, how about it?” I asked her. “Once we’re done with this, we can work on your system magic with your mom.”

[“Yes dear, your father already told me and I’m willing to help as much as I can. I mostly do “System things” naturally, but we can both learn how to use this magic. For now, concentrate in your study of draconic energy, alright?”] System appeared at my side, now being capable of creating a hologram of herself if I gave her constant Mana and Divine Power. She was non-corporeal though, couldn’t grab anything, nor eat, or do anything other than watch and talk. 

“Okay!” Kate quickly got pumped up. She really loved her mother.

Like that, their “specialized training” began. I wanted them to do what they were best at and liked doing. Benladra started hunting Divine Monsters that Fuyu brought me from a few wild areas of my divine realm, all while constantly trying to focus her draconic energy.

Most of the time, for normal people, focusing on something else while fighting would be really nonsensical, but based on how Benladra’s mind worked, the busier she was, the more she could focus on something in specific. Because all her other senses would be busy. It was a hypothesis but…

It worked, somehow.

FLUOSH!

“I-It’s working?! It’s working papa!”

Her Aura kept growing larger and larger, several dragon heads made of draconic energy and lights surged from her body as she battled the monsters. Her Draconic Energy responded to her when she fought.

And at the same time, as Kate constantly created new mechanical beings, repaired them, fused them, and made new technological artifacts, her draconic energy slowly surged from her body, imbuing itself into the items and turning them into mechanical draconic creatures.

“I-I did it?”

Both were shocked it worked so quickly like this. And honestly, me too.
