Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 170: Devouring a Pile of Magic Items

Chapter 170: Devouring a Pile of Magic Items

-----
[Day 108]
Today in the morning I decided to consume the items we bought yesterday from the old man's shop, so I woke up rather energetic but was trapped in between Benladann's arms.
"Hmm…?"
Benladann suddenly woke up from my movements, as I was trying to sneak away. I had ended up sleeping in this ice giant form too, so everything felt even more… well, closer.
"Ah… Good morning Drake…" she said.
"Good morning… Will you let me go?" I asked.
"Oh… Sorry! I just like to hug things when I sleep…" sighed Benladann.
"I know you do," I said while smiling, as I caressed her head.
"Yesterday was a lot of fun! Will we go to the city today as well?" asked Benladann.
"Yeah, there's a lot to do. We have to go to the city and probably try to sell the rest of the items in the Sect. Rakasha said that we could do that," I said.
"A sect… I wonder if we have to join to enter the Dungeon?" wondered Benladann.
"That would be certainly not something I want. I don't really want to be bound by Sects or something like that…" I sighed.
"Me neither, I want to go whenever you go, Drake," said Benladann.
"There should be another way that we could use the dungeon without having to join a Sect… Well, we'll find a way. For now, let's wake up and have some breakfast," I said.
"Okay!"
Benladann woke up as she hugged me from behind as I was stretching.
"Hmmm~ I like dragon Drake, but this body is not bad either… I can feel you… better…" she said.
"I-Is that so? Well, my face is similar to how I had it on Earth," I said.
"Really? You were so handsome! How was it that you never got a… g-girlfriend?" she asked.
"I don't think I was that handsome. Probably my dragon bloodline or my power made me more handsome… But I didn't use to be handsome… I was a loner too, I don't think I would have been good with girls either…" I sighed.
"Eh? B-But you're pretty good with me, Drake," said Benladann.
"I didn't mean it in that regard… I mean… Like… You know, being good at talking with girls and sounding confident and attractive to them…" I said.
"Eeeh? B-But you are all of that! I-I am very attracted… t-to you…" she said.
Haha… Well, you're not really a normal girl… Ah, I better not say it out loud.
"Yeah, maybe it's just that I am good with you only," I said, touching the tip of her nose.
Benladann pouted a bit as she looked at my eyes.
"D-Don't think so little of you…" she said.
"Eh? I am? Ah, don't worry… Let's go have something to eat," I said.
Today for breakfast we had a lot of bread, which we warmed in the oven and then we put butter and fruit jam inside. Alongside that, we also drank Buffalo milk, which was way better than the wolf milk (no offense, mama wolf, you feed us well), and we also tried out the buffalo milk cheese, which was pretty good and creamy.
The kids and everyone else were in love with this food, it felt like a completely different breakfast than other times, that's for sure.
And while having breakfast, I took out all the items I was going to eat.
A buffet of my own.
"D-Drake, will you eat all of that? Won't your tummy hurt?" asked Flayr, as she was sitting over my leg. I had been trying to not spoil her, but she is always clingy with me, so I ended allowing her to sit over my lap. She enjoyed eating her jelly.
"That dragon is one crazy monster. He eats anything. The other day he ate a whole sword," said Draugann.
"Oi! Treat me with some more respect, will you?" I asked as I began to bite into the spear, it was softer than I imagined.
"Y-You're really eating it!" said Flayr.
"Woaaah…" said Noirenn, she was sitting over Benladann's lap.
"He's really eating that…!"
"Eh? Now the shield?!"
"And that bracelet…"
"And the armor too…"
"Wait, is he really going to eat that?!"
"H-He did!"
This was the first time the kids were looking at me eating something that wasn't actual food, so I understand their surprise.
When I finished eating everything, the last thing left was…
The pouch itself.
I was going to eat the Spatial Pouch and see if I can get the Skill!
I quickly ate it in one gulp, and then… several auras of various elements began to surge through my body.
I ended it by drinking the two potions and…
Ding!

[Muspelheim Fire Giant Tower Shield: Level 1]
[Fire Barrier: Level 1]
[Light-Branded Blessed Golden Spear: Level 1]
[Piercing Light: Level 1]
[Accursed Dark Armor of Misfortune: Level 1]
[Cursed Fortune: Level 1]
[Alchemy Magic: Level 1]
[Synthesis: Level 1]
[Enhanced Vitality and Mana Regeneration: Level 1]
[Revitalizing Flesh: Level 1]
[Mana-Conducting Muscles: Level 1]
[Spatial Inventory: Level 1]
[Spatial Perception: Level 1]
…
Woah.
Okay, alright, I got a lot of Skills.
It seems that getting and eating these items was an amazing thing! I really needed to just get eating something with a lot of magic and essence like these items…
I guess that's why eating the weaker monsters we encountered, which I have been eating all this time, didn't gave me anything anymore.
All of these Skills seemed amazing.
The Shield and Spear Skills were like the Blade one, I was able to summon these weapons in and out, but could only bring one. If they break, they dissipate into magic particles, so I can't produce them infinitely. Maybe I would need another Skill for that, or perhaps growing stronger?
Fire Barrier was straightforward, it allowed me, an Ice Dragon, to conjure a wall made of fire, its size and intensity could be enhanced through Mana, and its resistance to hits through Magic.
I guess it would be unfair to call me just an Ice Dragon now!
