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

Chapter 516: A Plan

-----

Pekora was concerned about the dream's power, after all, dream magic wasn't widely known and wasn't as simplistic as dark and shadow magic in the way that it can be easily countered with another element clashing against it.

Dream magic often presents itself as a pink or black-colored smoke, so it could very well screw with someone's else very easily, and even end up fucking them over with the power of dreams and illusions, we don't want that to happen, right? Due to that, it would be recommended to simply not fall for the dreams at all.

However, it is quite hard to even consider it as a widely spread magic. Dream Magic is hard to wield, incredibly hard, and I bet this guy cannot easily infuse it into other people's mana cores as easily as he did it with darkness and shadows.

Therefore, it is unlikely to find varied dream magic users spread all around… therefore, only the "final boss" might wield this mysterious power and not the entire crew of bastards we are going to fight.

Nonetheless, even after taking into consideration this as a very realistic outcome, I had considered what Pekora had said, and decided to include my slimes into each squad, I will infuse them with dream magic, if there is anyone capable of wielding it, the slimes will dispel the sleep effect and help the ones fighting these dangerous foes… if possible.

"I know that it is very unlikely, but I will create special slimes, these pink-colored ones, I will call them Dream Slimes, they can help you guys if anything like dream users emerge… Well, there's something else that might help, and I will distribute them around the battle as well, these are my clones." I said.

"Aren't the slimes something like clones?" asked Draugann.

"Well, not really, but these are…" I said. As I quickly summoned the other seven of my Orochi Heads, which emerged as their own beings.

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

"These are my other seven heads. I have recently evolved into an eight-headed dragon with the ability to turn the other unused heads into these useful clones… Each one is quite different from my original appearance, and act differently… but they will cooperate with you guys." I said.

"Ooh?! I never saw this!" said Benladann.

"You never showed this… Wow…" said Miranda.

"So many new Drakes… All of them are very different too… Wait, are those girls?" wondered Tisha.

"So Drake is also a cute girl now?" wondered Pekora

"There's a hot one there too… And an old man?" wondered Draugann.

"Please don't call them as me… Although they're technically me, they're at the same time not, they're their own people… I copied Greenwood's gang and called them based in colors, Silver, Green, Purple… And so on." I said.

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you formally."

"Indeed, nice to meet cha!"

"Let's slaughter the Dark Shadow Sect together."

"I am excited."

"I am quite good at illusion and dream magic, actually!"

"Well, we all can use it too, technically."

"Ah! Drake is flustered! Haha, look at his face."

They began to talk rather chaotically, they were indeed a chaotic bunch that didn't had much order to them at all… But they were strong, as they had a large part of my stats and could use every single of my skills too, so they were bound to be useful.

After introductions ended with many finding this group very interesting, including Benladann who was fascinated about different "facets" of my own self, or something, we continued with our discussions.

"So how do we raid that place that take down the boss?" wondered Yuki, she quickly decided to go straight to the point, without finding it any point in not assessing it as soon as possible, I get her, I also want to get this done with quickly so we can continue having our lives, this thing has been annoying me for a while.

I quickly conjured the Illusion Magic spell Mind Projection, and generated a projection of my mind, showing the mental 3D map that the System created through analyzing the entire sect's territory when Huginn and Muninn flew there while carrying small slime clones atop their backs.

"This is a map of the entire sect and its territory, it is tree dimensional, so we can see everything on it rather well. Look, this place is where the entrance is. The entire building is surrounded by a thick wall made of stones with several watchers around, there are also two watch towers, one to the north and the other to the south, it won't be easy to get through this entire thing because of these bastards that won't let us easily sneak in…" I said.

"I see… This is amazing, how can you even map the entire thing in such a way?" asked Pekora.

"I have my ways." I said.

"So where do you suggest raiding the sect, Drake? I had considered that we could simply smash the entire gate open using sheer power… Have you considered using Kumo and Kuro, and the other large beasts? We could also use them as powerful tanks to open the walls or just walk over them." Said Tisha.

"Indeed, I had considered the same, but what's saying that they don't have the same? After all they're the creators of these monsters and most likely have their own saved. Through my surveillance, I've not seen any giant monster being handled around, so I am in doubt if there are any or not… but there might be ways for them to store them elsewhere, hiding them from sight." I said.

"You're right… this is more unpredictable than we thought… There are so many factors, many of them we don't even know, and perhaps even sheer strength might not do the trick… What do you suggest?" wondered Tisha.

"I suggest to simply force them to show us their trump cards by raining them with attacks until they're completely cornered…" I said.
