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

Chapter 215: Chaotic Soul

-----

A lot of things happened this day.

Benladann was now resting because she suddenly felt very sleepy after eating a million things.

I checked her body, she didn't seem to be sick or anything, she was just resting, I guess.

Seeing her sleep over the bed peacefully fills me with the desire to protect her even more.

Apparently, she had increased her Cultivation Stage through the accumulated Mana in her Mana Core, which is of the highest talent possible, coupled with all the training we did with the Group Cultivation, and I am guessing that what we did last night HAD something to do as well.

I don't know what it could have been, but it was certainly something special… Maybe I was able to pour my mana into her? But I already do that regularly and not through sex…

I don't want to believe this is some Fate Series thing where they pour mana into their servants through sex…

Maybe it is that other thing, Dual Cultivation? Yin and Yang refining each other's essences through the act of sexual intercourse? But we don't know any technique like that…

Certainly, something regarding this could have happened…

But oh well, nothing I can do over it, and it's not like it is bad either.

I am glad she could get stronger, though it surprises me now that she can get some more dragon-like powers.

Is she really going to become a half-dragon? She's already Draconic… The last thing she needs is to just get a Dragon Transformation Skill or something.

And I don't know if that would excite me or not…

It would certainly be interesting to see.

Nonetheless, there was another surprise, her stats skyrocketed tremendously after the increase in Cultivation Stage and her evolution.

I suppose her bloodline of dragons was enhanced and she got more power out of it? She certainly flows with power now; I can touch her muscular legs and feel how incredibly hard as steel they are…

Hahh… Her skin is still so soft and nice.

A-Anyways, I better let her sleep peacefully.

Oh right… That other thing she got, Chaos Magic…

I have no idea what Chaos Magic is.

But she used it.

Maybe she got it from the Dragon Mark? Gasp…

So my theory about Dragon Marks giving a secondary Attribute without the need of a new Mana Core was true! She really got a new Attribute through this way. Most likely her mother also got Poison Attribute and so on…

Interesting… I wonder how she can develop this some more, there is no mana core telling her how her progress in this element is… Maybe it is very limited? Or maybe not…

System, can you tell me anything regarding this?

I explained to the system what was on my mind.

<Answer: It might seem like Dragon Marks infuse a new Attribute into the soul.>

Oh, I see… So people are not limited by their Mana Cores?

<Answer: Most likely, there could be also several artificial ways to acquire new attributes as well as just Mana Cores. However, Mana Cores is the easiest and most reliable way to develop an attribute. Attributes are also infused into souls, and Mana Cores do have a connection with the Soul too. Benladann's current Attributes seem to be Ice and Chaos.>

Not mold?

<Mold appears to be Chaos and is also a unique Magic without an attribute other than Chaos.>

Do you mean that she had Chaos before?

<Analyzing… It might appear that Benladann's Soul always had the Chaos element, it was somehow dormant. The Mold is an external materialization of her last desires using the surplus energy she acquired when her soul reached a spiritual and physical world from a former physical world.>

What? So you're telling me she had the talent beforehand?

<Correct. Benladann's Soul Composition is very unique, and it keeps growing stronger the more she develops in every field. Her Soul is already enormous, as big as an abyssal sea of darkness…>

W-Woah… I got a very strong girl.

I decided to analyze her soul with the help of the System in more detail.

And indeed, comparing her from before, her soul had grown almost 20 times more… It was gigantic.

S-She's beating me so easily! Even when I eat souls daily… Sniff…

But it can't be normal that her soul expands at such a rate, right?

<Answer: Her soul composition might be unstable. To an extent, it is like a cloud of dark and abyssal essence combined with chaos, which continues to expand like a storm. Her ever-growing Mana Pool seems to relate to this.>

Benladann… is not normal, at all… Is this because of the experimentation?

<No. The power of her soul might be more ancient than her previous life, it was there before she was born in her previous life…>

You're telling me that her soul had it before? This doesn't make any sense…

<Answer: There's not enough data to analyze further, but this is the information I was able to reach. Her soul seems to originate from… somewhere else.>

Somewhere else… what about the Mold?

<An addition.>

So it wasn't original, I guess it is something that she got after that.

…

Benladann…

Is she… going to be okay?

<Answer: Although her soul keeps expanding at an alarming rate, she seems to be fine. Her status as of now is okay, and her pregnancy seems to be doing well. However, things could become better if she were to find a way to refine her soul and make it less unstable. If she keeps growing stronger, she can quickly adapt her body to her soul's power as well. Helping her grow stronger is crucial to her survivability. Even if dim, there is a possibility… where Benladann could die as her soul explodes due to the over-accumulation of Soul Mass and Mana.>

Ah…

Benladann…

I hold her hand tightly, thinking about a way to help her soul.

Do you know some ways to help her refine her soul and make it stable?

<Calculating…>

<There are several ways within your disposal>

As Benladann slept, her dreams carried her elsewhere, far away from Yggdrasil…

Endless darkness called upon her, with the tender voice of a motherly woman.

"Ah, you've finally awakened it, my child…"

"W-Who's there?"
