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

-----

The celebrations lasted for most of the day, we ate to our heart's content. The preparations and food made by the restaurants of the sect were pretty good. Although nothing can replace the food my wife and my mother-in-law prepares, it was still pretty enjoyable, especially with all the little meals there were, eating a bunch of everything always made you feel more fulfilled when eating delivery food.

It also gave me that feeling as if I was back on Earth buying delivery food and enjoying the delicacies of a restaurant at home with my family. This same feeling I felt when I was back then with my family.

I guess that, if I am recalled of my past through this, I really do see everyone here as my family now… Yeah, why wouldn't I see them as my family? They're all my precious family members, every one of them.

The delicious food we ate was more than enough to fill up our bellies. After the tremendous feast, and well, while it continued, as it was still going on even after three hours (yes, we bought a lot), I opened my inventory and took out the cores I was going to consume.

There were three Rank 4 Mana Cores, two Vampires, and another from the Sect Master.

I had already eaten one Rank 4 Mana Core from a Vampire, the one I ate whole, he didn't give me any skills though, but the essence did contribute to my growth a little bit. Nonetheless, it seemed to be not enough to increase my stage… But perhaps with all of these, I will be able to do so.

There was also a small snack of several Rank 3 Mana Cores from other Elders we killed and made into Undead… with this, I am sure I can get somewhere in terms of power. Maybe my next evolution is close too.

Without further ado, I opened my mouth and threw the crystals inside of my mouth, crushing them with my sharp dragon teeth, and ultimately swallowing them all quite fast and easily. They went through my throat and esophagus and then reached my stomach, they were quickly digested and dissolve, and my body absorbed their nutrients and essence, infusing them into my entire body and enhancing my power and that of all my Mana Cores, all three of them.

FLASH!

<You have absorbed a large quantity of Essence>

<Your Main Mana Core Rank 4 Initial Stage has increased its cultivation to Middle Stage!>

<The rest of your Mana Cores have also increased their cultivation greatly!>

<All your stats have increased!>

<You learned the following Skills>

[Fierce Vampire Phantom Blood Armor Materialization]

[Deadly Phantasmal Blood Soul]

[Bloodwork]

[Blood Storage]

[Vampiric Charm]

[Vampiric Eyes]

[Blight Blood]

[Vampire Weakness]

[All Element Resistance]

…

Wow! What's this?! I just got a bunch of amazing skills! Am I already a Vampire now or something?

I didn't get Blood Magic though… But I got Bloodwork, the ability that Vampires have to manipulate blood through as if it were telekinesis.

Also got Blood Storage so I can store blood… I guess? Vampiric Charm is something I will have to try out with Benladann. While Vampiric Eyes… What do they even do?

I activated them and found out I could see through physical objects, oh, I guess it is a fancier version of my Keen Senses Skill.

If I combine both, I can both see through physical objects and also in incredible detail. Good!

Blight Blood seems to bring forth strength to me the more blood I drink, but if I don't drink blood, I grow weaker… I can actually turn it in and off like every other skill, so I just turned it off unlike Vampires, who can't do this. It's most likely a passive Ability of them.

And then there's Vampire Weakness… it brings weakness to Light, Holy Light, Fire, and Silver, I think. Yeah, deactivated.

And then there's All Elemental Resistance. A simple skill. I cannot level it up though, it says that its level is maxed, it reduces all elemental damage to a small percentage. I suppose this is something Vampires can develop. Probably the reason why they can take magic attacks head-on and be completely fine for some freaking reason.

Oh right, and the first two skills are from Rose, most likely. One is her armor, quite literally her crimson-red armor is now mine! And also, the other skill which helps me shapeshift my phantom into a crimson-red one with blood properties… I guess.

And that's it pretty much… I could find useful to all these Skills one way or another, I suppose.

I looked at the Status now, as I found several stats have increased. It was a bit interesting how much stats increased. The other two mana cores were also raised in Stages, so I got even more stats from them, but they usually were mostly magic and mana, to raise the other stats, I usually have to evolve.

I don't know how would others that can't evolve do it, but I suppose it is a boon of being a monster that you can evolve and continue strengthening your body while others that cannot evolve have to find ways to strengthen it, such as physique techniques and the like.
