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

Chapter 298: Illusion Domain! Doing As We Please!

-----

The entire world was coated in illusions!

Well, not the entire world, just the sect area.

I used a lot of mana for this.

Nothing really changed. It was as if nothing really had happened, how wonderful.

But there were also permeable veils of illusions enclosing each area, and my minds were all using a lot of effort to support this entire construct of mana.

This is a system skill so it can be activated automatically, but an actual illusion mage would take an hour chanting this crap to work well, and they would need to be like at the pinnacle of mortals to do it fine.

And even then, it might not work well without proper planning and more! I am just that much of a prodigy.

We should really just breeze through all of this in no time at all, so let's get started.

"Let's go," I said, as I held Benladann's hands, and we flew around the air.

The permeable veils around the entire domain masked our presence and pretty much made us even more invisible.

We reached our first destination, a large palace, we got in, rushed inside, and found an old man taking a warm bath.

"Ah, you're the guy that attacked me in the meeting," I said, as I revealed myself.

"Hahh… Such a relaxing-EH?!"

"Hello," I said, as Benladann gave him a peace sign with her fingers.

"Y-YOU?!"

"We came to kill you." Said Benladann.

"K-Kill meee?! Where did you come from? I could not detect you!" he cried.

"We came from nowhere, we are sneaky." Said Benladann.

"S-Sneaky?! Y-You… Don't get cocky! If you came to kill me, you're very na?ve to think you can even defeat me! Haha! I knew you were all evil at the end! I will tell the sect master about this and he will kill you both and I will- GEH…!"

I sent Skadi towards him, as she pierced his lungs.

He attacked us with magic, generating spikes of ice, but they were nothing against the swipe of my hands.

"GGRAAGGH…!"

He was an ice giant at Rank 3, so he was pretty resilient, but Skadi had been developing and growing bigger and stronger each day through the consumption of Rank 2 and 3 Mana Cores from the Dungeon, where she goes hunting down monsters every day.

She got the ability to absorb mana cores that she pierces with the tip of her spear, and through this over a week since we got into the dungeon and we conquered it… she grew super strong, hehe.

And well, the sword as well, but he was too big and less stealthy, so he was back home.

Skadi began to pierce the man's body with her sharp spear and completely ignored his magic or strength, he was turned into Swiss cheese in just one minute, and he died miserably too.

"C-Can I eat the mana core?" she asked.

"No," I said, as I carved it and saved it.

"What…! But I killed it." She said angrily.

"But I am the big boss behind the scenes, so I get the loot," I said.

"Yes, Master…" sighed Skadi.

"Geez, just give it to her. It's just a Rank 3 one." She said.

"Fine, not like I wanted it." I sighed, throwing the mana core to Skadi as she pierced it and gained its power. The mana core turned into ashes and dissipated.

"Ohooo! This one was tastyyyyy! Like beef or something!" she said.

"Glad you like it, don't eat them anymore, they're for me," I said.

"Okay, okay!" said Skadi.

She ended content with only one.

"Now what do we do with this useless pig?" asked Benladann.

"We use him," I said.

"But he's dead!" said Benladann, looking at the corpse of the man, he was indeed deader than dead. Super dead.

But what do you know? I am kind of a necromancer. That's just my part-time job. I am an ice dragon at day, a handsome one, and at night, I am an evil necromancer that revives the dead into undead.

"Yes, and?"

"Oh… Right."

I already had grabbed this old guy's soul, which was angrily looking at me, as asked Benladann for aid.

You see, I can grab Undead, revive them and all… but they don't obey me.

I don't have a special affinity for them, I don't seem to be a natural leader or something.

So they all naturally hate me or ignore me.

This guy hates me and no matter how much I intimidate him, he'll only grow hollower and just end up as an emotionless soul. It won't do like that.

"Benladann, look at this soul cutely and tell him to be your friend, please…" I asked.

"Fine, you already told me that your combination of charm plus your necromancy would give us the ability to make obedient undead even if they're unwilling… no need to tell me to make a cute face." Benladann looked at the man's soul, who was trembling.

Her eyes shone with pink color light, and then the man was left shocked at her beauty.

"Ahh…!"

"Obey both of us." She said.

"Yes my queen!" he said, he was completely brainwashed.

Against super weakened people, her ability work wonders. She can even tame weakened monsters, tame undead, convince people to do her bidding, and even brainwash them by forcing them to do what she wants.

Her powers have limits and requirements to fully work, of course, such as the necessity of the target being either weakened or very weak compared to her. The other day she convinced the Elders that came to assault us in the restaurant through a combination of her ability plus a lot of mana and her chaos attribute. If she combines them, she can fire a black ray from her eyes which reaches the eyes of her targets and forces them to temporarily obey her.

If the target has a strong will, they can break through…

But if they can't… they might end up enslaved for eternity.

Additionally, I used Cassiopeia's Phantom Contract spell to make this guy's soul my slave and inserted him back into his body.
