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

Chapter 930 Earth Dragon Bloodline

Phantoms of Souls. Apparently, and according to the Venerable’s words, the Frost Tower is kind of like a Radio Tower of “Emotion Essence”. Depending in those that enter the tower, the tower will pick up the Emotion Essence spread out into the world which has an affinity with those in the trial and create Phantoms of Souls of those people precious to them. Even if they’re dead or alive, even if it is the same person even, it seems that anything would appear. Perhaps the whole reason I got divine power from absorbing my other self was because it was made out of my own emotion essence which might had been imbued with divine power too.

But she also said that if those people that appear are dead, those that they saw might actually be something similar to their actual souls… Which is scary and interesting at the same time. The power of a Venerable’s Creation is truly intriguing.

”S-So those I saw…” Pekora muttered. “Could those have been my family’s souls before they went to the afterlife?”

”Most likely, Pekora, dear.” The Venerable said. “I saw all of you go through your respective trials, it was an interesting thing to see.” The Venerable said. “I’m sorry for peeking as such important and personal times. But it was necessary so I could learn about you, who have become my inheritors.”

”I see…” Pekora sighed. “I hope they’re well, wherever they are.” The rabbit kin said with a slight smile.

”I also saw my father… I felt like he gave me strength.” Said Rose. “Was that also…?”

”Yes, Rose. That was Gustaf.” Said the Venerable. “You saw him before he departed.”

”S-So it was him… It was him all along… Ugh, I should had spoken more with him then…” Rose regrettably said. “Well, it is all over anyways… I guess that’s how it all ended.”

”I… saw someone from my previous world. How is that even possible?” Wondered Benladann.

”Yes, I saw it as well…” The Venerable said, as her eyes shone brightly. “There is only one possibility, that person has… reincarnated in this world, somewhere.”

”Eh?!” Benladann cried. “So Ivan… He died back on Earth?!”

”Most likely.” Said the Venerable.

”Benladann, calm down…” Miranda said. “If we ever meet him, we’ll deal with it as we can.”

”Yeah, as Miranda said.” I said, hugging her. “I will be there for you, don’t worry. You’re not alone into this.”

”…Thanks.” Benladann sighed. She seemed to be grimacing a lot but calmed down after hearing our words, thankfully.

”For now, how about we move on from conversations for a bit? I know there might be more questions in your mind, but there’s surely enough time for later.” The Venerable said, the entire world suddenly changed in an instant, as we found ourselves in the middle of an enormous library, which was also an armory at the same time. Countless bookshelves erected everywhere, alongside weapons and armor as well. and in front of it all, there was an enormous dragon body resting within Divine Ice, it was the same dragon we fought before, Terra.

”This is my Inheritance’s Treasury. In here I’ve stored hundreds of Spell Books and Grimoires, Legendary Weapons and Armor of the highest qualities I’ve found inside Dungeons, and also… Terra is there.” Said the Venerable.

”Yep, I’m here! Drake, come!” Terra waved her hand as she walked towards her frozen body.

I decided to follow her as I reached the enormous wall of ice. Looking at the gigantic dragon was really something else. Suddenly, the Venerable touched the ice as it suddenly shapeshifted itself, generating a sharp spike that pierced through one of the dragon’s arms, fresh blood began pouring from within like a fountain, rushing outside of the giant block of ice.

SPLASH!

”Drink it!” She said.

”Drink it? I am not a Vampire…” I sighed.

”You’re exuding a rather vampiric aura, I am sure you kind of are…” Said Terra.

Ah, I had eaten Vampires before and absorbed their powers, I guess I am partially part Vampire then? But wouldn’t it be more efficient if I absorb this? Well, it has yet to be 24 hours since I last absorbed Divinity, so that’ll have to wait a bit. And it might be rude to absorb the divinity of Terra’s corpse without her permission… I guess I should just drink the blood.

I quickly generated a cup of ice and let the blood pour in, then, the Venerable closed the ice once more so no more blood would come out. At the end I filled an entire barrel with it. Terra allowed me to save some more if I wanted for my own Alchemy. I told her I was rather good at making items through Alchemy, and her blood might be good for all sorts of things, so she agreed.

…The truth is, I want to make a special Divine Spirit using her materials. I wonder if she’ll lend me her scales, fangs, or bones too. Maybe I might be planning to give some of her blood my Benladann, Kate, and Benladra, perhaps that might strengthen them.

”Then here goes nothing.”

I quickly drank the whole cup of blood. It was surprisingly fresh but extremely bitter at the same time… Ugh, is it because it is old blood or because all earth dragons’ blood is just as bitter as eating rocks?

Well, whatever was the case, I drank it all until the last drop… And then, seconds after, I felt something within me connect me elsewhere. Within the confines of the Internal Space of the Draconic Records, my soul saw a thread emerge, connecting itself to me. A rocky path of mountains, canyons, and crystals emerged, leading to a mysterious and new Realm of Dragons…
