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

Chapter 808 Explanations 1

-----

When I entered the room where everybody was waiting for me, I found most of the "main crew" with a few new additions. There was Draugann, the old grandma from Benladann's village, Yuki, the former monster pet that I had tamed which evolved into a beast-kin girl and gained her independence (not like I was forcing her to do anything too much), Rakasha, a Blacksmith friend I made in the Ice Moon Sect who was mature and knowledgably about the world and other things as he traveled through it, Tisha, an Ice Elf Warrioress, Pekora, a Rabbit-kin Beast woman that was an exceptional shaman and spiritualist, and very intelligent, Belle, my dream spirit and the clone of the original Venerable, Yukihime, the ancestor of the Winter Lotus sect and Vasilisius, the Ancestor of the Jade Snake Sect.

Children were not invited here as it was a delicate subject. It could be said that Yuki was a kid but she refused to go away and ended getting inside anyways…

"Hello everyone, I called you here to explain you various things… I already talked about them with my family and I believe I should tell you all about them now so we can get things clear and discuss things in more depth…" I said. "I would appreciate if you guys remain in silence until I explain everything…"

And like that, I continued to explain everything I could with great detail but while also trying to resume it to not make it so heavy or shocking, after around almost an hour of explanations, I finally finished and the conversations quickly exploded. Learning that I was in fact the son of two dragon gods was the most shocking to them, the Draconic Records was skipped for now as they didn't really need to know that, and I merely put it as "dragon's bloodline powers" or whatever, which was more than enough for the folks to understand.

"We knew you were amazingly talented and strong but… the son of two gods?!" Asked Rakasha. "Can you please stop surprising us? Hah, well, not like it will change now, I should get used to it. Ruby wouldn't like seeing me have heart attacks all the time."

"Haha, yeah, it is a bit difficult to navigate as of now but it shouldn't be anything hard to understand at the end." I said.

"Difficult?! This is in another whole level! Also, we drank your blood, does this means we drank the blood of a god?" Wondered Yuki. "C-Can I become a goddess too?!" Yuki was waving her tail around, filled with delusions. Drinking the blood of a god doesn't make you a god, sadly.

"No Yuki, you'll have to work hard for that." I said. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"I understood this well, the ancient dragon god of greed, Fafnir himself is… your father, Drake?" Wondered Tisha. "So your father is a dark dragon god?"

"Yes, one of the many children of the Dragon Goddess of Darkness, the Progenitor and mother of all of the dark dragons. Dragon Gods are already very rare, I am one of those very rare specimens. I was supposed to become a god from the get-go. Unlike normal mortals, we dragon gods simply are born with divine power already and we develop, we further improve its usage and we unlock more divine powers from our bloodlines connected to the souls of our ancestors, their powers are inherited into us." I said.

"I see… This is incredible!" Said Tisha.

"Hm, wait, hold on for a minute, Drake. Are you saying you're not truly a former mortal then? But why were you as weak as one and had to raise your Mana Core Rank conventionally?" Wondered Pekora, she was one of the most intelligent and observant of my allies.

"I was cursed… It was when I was born, the world's will, or well, as you call it, Yggdrasil's Will, Cursed me. It seems that this happens commonly to very strong reincarnated souls, but she cannot set Curses on those that already were born, it is only possible while the soul is still being sent into the body… or something like that my mother said." I sighed. "I am quite glad Benladann and Benladra didn't got any, most likely their power was dormant while they were about to be born, unlike my own Unique Skills, which were incredibly strong from the get-go…"

"Hm, I see… The Curse… Was it lifted?" She wondered.

"Indeed, I was a very weak little lizard before but now the curse was mostly lifted. It happened as I evolved. I think it was also thanks to the System's powers that allowed me to evolve quickly." I said rather honestly. The knowledge about my Unique Skills was already widespread within this circle of friends, this included the [System] and [God] as well.

"So Curses inflicted by the world can even be lifted through such ways… Now that's interesting, but perhaps it was also because you were awakening more of your latent dragon god powers through your bloodline, which was triggered with each evolution, is it not? I guess it cannot truly happen with everybody." Said Yukihime, adding to the discussion.

"Hm, we were indeed quite lucky to not have been cursed, unlike Drake we wouldn't had been able to lift the curse at all as we have never evolved." Said Vasilisius.

"In that you're quite right, old man." Said Yukihime.

"I am as old as you!" Said Vasilisius.

"I am actually a few months younger…" Said Yukihime while smugly smiling back at the old man.

We continued our talk for a long while, until things finally got more interesting when I finished answering questions I've done a couple of times already.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Wondered Rakasha. "I'll do anything within my power to help you out, Drake, even if my help is now almost insignificant now that you're so powerful."

"You're not insignificant, Rakasha. I believe you'll be able to help me really well with your Job and your Skills, don't worry." I said with a nod. "And yes, I've been planning what we'll do…"
