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

Chapter 255: New Skills

[Day 143]

When I reached Fuyu, I found everyone eating a large lunch, without me!

Well, it was obvious, I was sleeping.

Benladann was roasting a large Ogre Giant, sometimes it was certainly a bit bizarre to see a humanoid monster getting roasted like a pig, but Ogre Giants are delicious, so I began drooling right away.

I emerged at the large gate while greeting Fuyu and rushed inside.

"W-Wait, Drake, you're way too big now, you're going to freak out everyone!"

"Benladann! I missed you!"

I roared a bit louder than I would have wanted, my entire dragon head got stuck in the gate.

Eh? I got way too big…

"UWAAHH…!"

"EH?!"

"W-WHAT…"

"DRAGON?"

Everyone around Benladann freaked out and fell over their butts, but Benladann looked at me and immediately knew who I was.

"Drake! You changed a lot! So cool!"

She rushed to my side and kissed my big dragon head, on the snout.

"You evolved already?"

"Yeah! It was a weird evolution… And I got more powers than I thought… I ended mixing into the dreams of the Sect down below and tortured their malicious souls!" I laughed.

"Oooh! Amazing!"

"I even bit the soul of the Sect Master," I said pridefully.

"W-Wow… Did he got angry?" she asked.

"I bet he did, but who cares? Maybe that scare will make him do his work properly." I said.

"Yeah! Drake? You don't fit…" said Benladann.

"O-Oh, I just wanted to get inside in my dragon form. This is actually the smallest I can get…" I sighed.

"EH?!"

"I guess I will take the ice giant form…"

I slowly shapeshift into a mass of white light, shaping myself as an ice giant.

It seems that even in this form, the size increased to the point I cannot reduce its size, I am around three meters and a half, taller than Benladann now…

I petted her head cutely.

"You're looking as cute as ever," I said. My precious Benladann looked as pretty as always, her beautiful and shiny yellow-gold eyes filled my heart with life.

"T-Thanks… Y-You got taller even in that form?" she asked.

"Oh, right, yeah… I guess… Is it too bad? Maybe I can force myself into a smaller form if I spend mana and do some trickery using Slime form into it." I said.

"N-No, it is fine… Having a tall husband is good." Said Benladann.

"Oh yeah?" I asked as I gave her a kiss by moving down a bit.

"Fufu… I missed you in bed~" she whispered to my ears.

That's cheating! You can't just say that… That's an instant boner.

"E-Eh? I-I see… Let's make sure to amend for that later today… Alright?" I asked.

"Ooho~ Alright! I will be waiting for that hour… Now! Let's go eat!" said Benladann, quickly changing the topic and leaving me with my life on the line as I resisted a massive rising in the dragon resting within my lower areas.

I was greeted by everyone. Many were relieved it was me and not a weird and wild dragon.

"You have to be more careful! My gates are not so big to take your giant dragon body anymore, it was very tight, you almost broke me…!" said Fuyu angrily. That… sounded a bit weird.

"O-Okay, okay, sorry! I will expand them later too, alright?"

"Fine…" she sighed.

While eating lunch with everyone, I began checking on my new Skills, they were interesting.

…

[Dream-Seeking Physique: Level 1]

You have the physique of someone who seeks dreams, can see dreams, dive into dreams, and absorb dreams. Your ability to enter in dreams using your physical body is enhanced, and the power of all your stats while being inside a dream is enhanced by 10% with each level. Grants the ability to assimilate Dreams.

…

Oh, this one seems straightforward, I can now use my physical body to get into dreams!

Wait, hold up, that's broken!

Is this how daydreaming dragons get into dungeons though? That's interesting, it means my soul has an extra layer of protection with my body, but it also means my body can be affected by the dream… However, as I have an Immortal Body, I am not that worried about that one thing…

…

[Daydreamer: Level 1]

You can dream even while being awake, giving you the ability to configure and edit your Dreamscape to your liking through the use of Mana. Daydreaming also enhances your power the more you're dreaming about certain things related to your current state. Grants the ability to expand your own Dreamscape around as a Domain through the expenditure of Mana.

Dreamscapes can also store physical items and living beings inside, however, if the living beings stay inside for too long, they will turn into dreams.

…

Oh, I see. This enhances my way of dreaming at day! Well, it is obviously based on the name alone, but what else? Enhance my power if I dream about something related to my current state? That one seems odd. And I can also expand my dreamscape into a domain. The dreamscape can store physical items and living beings inside of it, but if they stay for too long, they turn into dreams! That's a bit terrifying…

The dreamscape, however, does seem nice to momentarily put people inside to save them and not let them be involved in battle o something… I am sure a spell can be made for them to be able to resist the power that turns them into dreams if they stay for too long. Right, System?

<Analyzing…>

<The reason behind a living being turning into dreams inside a Dreamscape is due to the dream attribute particles within it, which absorb and consume a living being whose nature is not of dreams. This can be protected by covering that individual with a powerful Dream Protection Ward, which will make it around 10 times slower for someone to be consumed and converted into dreams.>

Can you make that spell?

Wow, you work hard now, Great Sage.

<Who?>
