Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 1616 Time To Craft Soul Gear 1

-----

The morning sun greeted my eyes through the window of my room. I slowly opened them, realizing it was already the morning of the next day, at least inside of my Divine Realm. We've been doing quite a lot of activities these last days, but at long last, we've managed to secure enough materials to craft a lot of Soul Gear, for everyone in my family at least.

When I sat down over the bed, I found Benladann and Miranda cuddling with one another over the bed, both naked. After yesterday's celebrations and when we made sure the children went to sleep, we had quite a lot of fun in bed. I have begun to worry I might get Miranda pregnant right after she already gave birth to a child.

But it can't be helped, and I don't really mind having a big, very big family. I take it as a personal mission to increase the population of Divine Dragons! I'll have as big of a family as I can, so more Divine Dragons repopulate the world and can further protect it.

After all, our family are heralds of Tiamat, named Guardians themselves. The more children, the more future guardians for Yggdrasil, right?

Hm, but perhaps I shouldn't see the life of my children as just "guardians" though, I love them too much to create them only because of a duty.

My mentality is just, if it happens, it happens, right?

"Now…"

I quickly encompassed my body into shadows, escaping the two women's strong grasp, as I slid through the castle and reached my large workshop. It was time to create Soul Gear. Or at least figure out how to do it.

I remember I was able to do this back inside Skadi's Trial because it was an Ethereal Realm, but once I tried bringing out the Soul Beast Materials outside of a Soul or an Ethereal Realm, well, this happened.

"Hm? I can't grasp this well, so annoying!"

The items seemed translucent. Although I could grab them with my hands if I permeated them with Soul Ether Essence, it was very difficult and it wasted a lot of my soul strength. I do remember hearing from some of the big shots that Soul Beasts can't properly manifest within the Physical Planes.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

I suppose my Divine Realm still counts as a Physical Plane. Should I go back to the Draconic Records to craft the Soul Gear then? Or maybe… No, wait a second.

"Belle, can you help?"

POOF!

lightsnοvεl Belle appeared in front of me after an explosion of pink smoke.

"What do you want? I was hunting some food outside! You're so annoying sometimes. Can't let me have breakfast now?"

"Watch your tongue little vixen…" I sighed. "I am your Master, at least treat me better!"

"So what do you want?" She asked while ignoring my words.

"Well, whatever. I was about to make Soul Gear. You were interested in how it's done, right?" I asked her.

"I sure am!" She nodded, immediately changing her annoyed expression with one brimming with curiosity. "You're making some then?! I want to check how it's done! Mama would be happy if I reveal to her the secrets of the Titans."

"Yeah you can watch all you want, but there's a problem, I can't do it within a Physical Plane, and apparently my Divine Realm is one." I explained to her. "I need to be inside an Ethereal Plane for the Soul Treasures to fully "materialize", get it? So, aren't Dream Realms or Dream Worlds that very same thing?"

"Oh!" She gasped. "You're not wrong! Okay, but why didn't you just make one already?"

"I need your help; I'll be concentrating with all my nine brains into this damned process." I said. "So I'll need you to make that Dream Realm as strong as possible so it can support all the high-quality Soul Treasures inside. And keep it up until I am done."

"Hmm, alright, got it." She nodded. "Do you know how these are crafted? I am fairly sure the normal methods of forging, crafting, and blacksmith won't really work here."

"Yeah, I know. I do remember well the sensation I felt when I made it, and also remember seeing how Skadi "enchanted" the equipment into Soul Gear. She never explained me how to do it, but said I could do it now. So I just have to keep trying. It'll be a lot of trial and error though." I told her.

"I understand." She nodded. "Hmm, why not bring Rakasha here? Surtr too! And maybe Emerald as well, they all got some knack for crafting."

"You're not wrong, yeah, maybe if I can impart this knowledge to those guys, and we can figure it together, it might be easier." I nodded. "We've had little to no progress on processing the Scale of Tiamat, but I think once I ask Kate for her help, we'll be able to break through with that. For now, making Soul Gear should be our priority."

Like that, I called them. Rakasha was awake working on his smithy, but the other two were currently sleeping. After dragging them out of their rooms, they came rushing inside of my workshop, and I explained them everything.

"So you're planning on making that Titan-only Soul Gear…" Rakasha nodded. "And you want my help? It would be an honor to aid in any way! Though I doubt I can be of much help, I've never handled such a mysterious material before."

"This sounds interesting!" Said Surtr. "Count me in, master. Maybe Heavenly Smith can work better with Soul Treasures than with Tiamat's Scale…"

"I don't really know if I can be of any help myself, as I said before, I am not a crafter…" Emerald was the only one unsure.

"Don't worry about it, Emerald." I patted his shoulders. "Your abilities can naturally create and enchant divine equipment, those winds of yours might be crucial for the Soul Gear we'll make. Of course, I'm going to share some with you too, so your soul can be stronger."

"That's… Well, okay." He nodded. "I will try to not disappoint you, master!"

"Good, good disciples!" I smiled, nodding. "Then, Belle."

"Okay!" Belle opened a pink portal to the Dream World she made. "Go inside!"

FLASH!
