Chapter 152: Unexpected Transformation

-----

[Day 97]

After yesterday's talk, I learned a lot, to the point that I felt exhausted… Anyways, I wanted to try out the new Skills I got after eating the magic sword, which was [Improved Slashing Power: Level 1], [Improved Piercing Power: Level 1], and [Silver Blade of Slicing Water: Level 1].

The first two Skills enhanced my slashing and piercing power, pretty simple, the more they leveled up, the more the enhancement.

And the third Skill was not a passive skill, it… pretty much let me do something rather interesting. By using the Skill… I can summon the weapon.

Yes! It is actually a thing. But it doesn't work with anything I create, but maybe with other magic weapons or equipment I don't create, it might work to get them as skills by eating them.

I tried it out and the blade, a perfect replica from the one I ate emerged out of thin air, falling over the ground.

I tried to break it and then it quickly dissipated into particles of light.

I tried to make more than one, but I could not, only one at a time, and when it breaks, it turns into particles of light and disappears, but I can summon it again.

I guess it could be a nice projectile? I think my ice projectiles are stronger than this…

But the interesting part is that I can lend the weapon to anyone and it won't matter, so I gave it to Benladann for the moment, so she could practice with it around. I kind of wanted to train her with all sorts of weapon types, so making her acquire sword technique might be good.

And as for me? I can just eat someone with sword technique… So yeah, I don't care at the moment.

I already had my Skadi, and I was still crafting a second weapon in the giant ice blade that is yet to be made completely, but that might soon emerge.

Anyways, it doesn't mean I am lazy or something! Though I want to relax and calm down for some time, so lazing around doesn't seem so unappealing.

The kids were training more Magic usage and Mana Cultivation today, even after the dragon mark, they were still far from being better, so there will need some more time for them to learn how to use magic better. But definitely, if they begin cultivating from an early stage, they will surely get stronger, so it's not bad at all.

We spent the rest of the day mostly cultivating and practicing, while also cooking and eating delicious preparations, there is such a wild world outside, but I really just want a slow and secluded life…

Well, not like it will last forever, but it is nice to appreciate the little moments that bring us joy in the present.

[Day 98]

Today in the morning I have finally managed to create a new Death Magic Spell, which I decided to call Phantom Heal! It is a spell that automatically gathers residual phantom essence from the environment and heals the soul directly, it can also generate phantom essence from mana alone, but the cost of the spell is higher.

I quickly used this spell repeatedly over Benladann's parent's souls, until they began to flash with more power, their souls had been recovering some more, and now, they seemed to be closer and closer to fully recover, but even after that, they might enter into a long slumber to stabilize their minds and thoughts within the souls.

After all, most people utilize their brains to store the mind, so when their soul is moved out of their bodies, the memories and emotions that come with them end up chaotically spreading across the entire thing, which is bad, it might even cause severe dementia or other things, so enough rest is required.

After that, we left them resting once more. It seemed that the more the souls were recovered, the more they released a faint flow of magical essence, perhaps they were undergoing some kind of change, especially because even the weapons were changing, they had become "Living Cursed Weapons" and had gained new stats and Traits, but it might be too soon to test them yet.

Nonetheless, using her own parents as weapons intimidated Benladann a bit, so it was better not to force her.

"Now they should rest for a bit," I said.

"Alright… Thank you for doing so much, Drake…" said Benladann.

"Don't worry, it wasn't anything hard to do. I hope your parent's souls can get better soon," I said.

"Yeah… I hope so too… Well, with your help I am sure they will be! For now, I have to keep working hard in what I can do… such as cultivating, training, and cooking delicious food for you," said Benladann, smiling gently.

I guess she is also a hard worker, she is always doing something, and I've barely seen her rest aside from the night when she goes to sleep.

She's a good girl.

"You're a good girl, Benladann. Don't push yourself too hard," I said.

"Ah, Drake… Don't worry, I am doing fine! I am doing this on my own… I just want to grow stronger because of everything that has happened…" said Benladann.

"I see… Well, let me tell you that I will be here for you," I said.

"And I am very thankful for that…"

Benladann approached me as she hugged me. I wish I could just take my ice giant form to hug her better without this stiff and heavy dragon form.

"E-Eh? W-What…? D-Drake?!"

"Eh?"

Suddenly, without realizing it, I shapeshifted into my ice giant form, which also has some dragon features, out of nowhere.

EH? Is this because I wished it?

Benladann ends up staring at my figure with eyes wide open, she saw the whole transformation occur… We were on the third floor at this moment. So thankfully no one else saw it.

But still…

"D-Drake! Y-You can take an ice giant form?! Ahh… Y-You're as handsome as I always imagined you…" she said, saying something very bold, embarrassing me.

"I… Ugh… I was planning to make it a surprise…" I sighed.

"W-What a surprise it is…! Erm… W-Would you like to get some clothes?" asked Benladann, averting her gaze from my body as she blushed, getting as red as a tomato.

Oh right, I was naked…
