Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 129: Eating Scrap Metal

Chapter 129: Eating Scrap Metal

-----
After everyone went to sleep on the second floor, where I gave everyone some leather beds and put them on the chimney so they could sleep more comfortably, I decided to assess what I got.
A pile of scrap metal and all types of mechanical pieces… and a large mana core battery shattered into pieces.
Oh right, there are also the small drones I got… those also had small mana cores on them.
I decided to eat all the mana cores. The big one was the tastiest, and it granted a nice amount of stats.
…
Now, what do I do with the scrap metal? I just ate the mana cores, and I didn't get any skills like [Living Mechanical Body], [Gamma Blade], or anything, so I don't think I will get any of such things from eating these robots either.
But why not give them a try? They seem to be made of magic metals even rarer than what I found with Mining. Oh right, when I mined days ago, I got a pile of metals, although I have not been using them because it is frankly easier to use Icesmith to make weapons and armor…
I have eaten a few of these metals, but they are not tasty, nor they gave me anything. Well, I guess like any other cultivation material.
But maybe it could be different this time?
Hmm… Well, I will eat three drones and an entire arm of the big one, how about that? Maybe if I ever find a Technomancer, he could build me a mech or something… Is there another Technomancer? I hope so… Wait, no, I don't hope so. I don't want to fight with overpowered mechs again.
Anyways, I started munching.
It was very hard to eat.
Ugh.
But I continued to devour it all and swallowed it for some time… Uegh.
After around an hour, I finished.
…
And nothing!
Okay, this was a total waste of time-
Ding!

[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]
[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]
[Mithril Ore Shell: Level 1]
[Photon Bullet: Level 1]
…
What?
So I got something?! Not what I had imagined though, I didn't instantly become a robot or something… But this is way more than I thought I would get, which was just nothing.
This is… Also very strange, is this the first time I am getting element-based skills that are not of ice and wind?
[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]
Manipulate the magnetic energies around your body to a lesser extent. Can be improved through the use of Gravity Magic, a branch of Spatial Magic.
…
So this one is related to Space Attribute! Well, it is not as if I suddenly gained space magic though, it is limited to a certain use.
[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]
Rearrange your metallic parts for greater efficiency when moving or fighting.
…
Eh? This one is definitely for a robot, it shouldn't work for me, right?
I quickly tried to use it, and discovered that I was able to somewhat rearrange my own metallic scales, even to the point of forming something like a shield if I concentrated many in a certain area… maybe this plus the previous skill could let me launch my own scales as an attack.
[Mithril Ore Shell: Level 1]
Spend mana to generate a shell of mithril ore, an ore with high magical properties, both resistant to magic and also capable of conducting it with ease, while also being very resilient.
…
This one… I tried it and it generated a new layer of protective shell-like scales around any part of my body that I wanted. Perhaps the robots were made of this material the most. Oh, and when I detach them, they stay… Meaning that I could use this to craft stuff?
[Photon Bullet: Level 1]
Concentrate your mana into a bullet of light and fire it at your foe to deal magic-based damage.
…
As simple as that with this, I can fire a Light Bullet… Is this Light Attribute Magic? Not really… it is limited to a bullet! Like the ones, the mech fired at me, which were able to bend my scales.
But with this I get more variety I suppose… Interesting. It would be nice if I could find something big and strong to test my new skills, but there's nothing like that around.
I wonder… System can I learn every single elemental magic?

So I can't get full-fledged magic?

Hm… I guess I will have to discover it by myself. Although if I were to just get all elements, it would lose the "ice dragon" vibe to it, right?
Maybe it won't be as easy as I think, or perhaps it will be, but Ice Magic will still be my best one?
Or perhaps it will merely complement it…
Do I have any other element affinity?


So the system is like an artifact in a way?


Huh…
For now, I suppose I should rest a bit- wait.
As I ate the last piece of mana core battery left, I suddenly felt like my Mana resonated with power. The mana within changed quality and so did my entire body…
I think I ranked up? No, staged up, I guess…
Ding!



Now, what should I evolve into?
System, show me the evolution options.
