Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 299: A Bit Of Revenge And... What?!

Chapter 299: A Bit Of Revenge And... What?!

-----
By combining Benladann's Charm ability, my death magic, and phantom magic's spell Phantom Contract, we made the man's soul become our slave easily.
I inserted him back into his corpse and I put a random Rank 3 Mana Core of an Ogre Giant inside of his corpse, I healed the wound through Corpse Healing, and then he was good to go… he looked fresh as well because I used Undead Refreshment.
The man was raised from the dead most stereotypically and looked at us with his dead eyes.
"Well hello there, young man, how are you doing?"
He woke up and looked at us.
"I am here to serve you, master." He said.
"Oho! He's so good already! Nice, nice!" said Benladann.
"Now go sleep," I said, as he quickly drowned himself in the bathroom.
"Gragrgorggrogorghhh…"
"Wait, stand up again."
Splash!
"Yes, master… Cough…"
"Okay do as you usually do and then go to sleep… Erm, do whatever you always do." I said.
"Yes, Master…"
The Elder quickly dried his body as we moved away from the scene because we wouldn't want to see his ugly nude body.
We reached the rooftops of the houses, and we began leaping around the houses. It was pretty good. We felt like ninjas. I wonder if there are ninjas in here.
We moved towards our next target, another Elder house.
And we moved after another, and another, and another…
We ended killing around 6 Elders. All of them were a pain in the asses we hated, the others were chill, so we left them as they were after we brainwashed them for safety measures.
The brainwashing was a combination of Benladann's charm and my magic, making a forced contract into their souls, it worked even with the living! And if they were to be uncharmed one day, they would still be forced to obey through the phantom contract that Cassiopeia used.
She was pretty good; she had enslaved like five elders herself.
We collected the mana cores of these Rank 3 Elders, which were going to be some nice meals for me, and we replaced them for random Rank 3 Monsters Mana Cores.
Yeah, you can just do that instead of leaving them as empty husks, Undead without Mana Cores still can develop strength, but cannot grow stronger after that, so giving them a mana core, a random one, can work.
If you give them many, as I did with Benladann's parents, they can develop super quickly.
But I don't care about that so I left them with whatever I had in my pocket.
"And we are done with this, right? Now what should we do?" asked Benladann.
"Isn't it obvious?" I asked with a smirk, as we jumped into the largest palace of the sect.
This was it. This was going to be the decisive battle. We had been preparing for this since we got here. The Sect Master, Lord Ice Moon, was an incredibly strong old man.
He was a Rank 4 after all, now that we were Rank 4 ourselves, we thought that our chances of winning became pretty big. After all, we were going to fight against him with everything we had but could not underestimate him.
He had lived for hundreds of years and had gathered a lot of knowledge and insights about the magic that we haven't. He also had several spells at his disposal, grimoires, treasures, and more. There was no point in holding back nor in going carefreely either. We couldn't underestimate him.
We are not one of those cliché main characters that get into things recklessly anymore, we cannot do that. We got our lives at stake, and a baby to take care of in the future. We have to be careful and secure our lives first.
This wasn't fiction, after all, this was real life, in fiction you're rooting for the main character to have a good challenge and overcome his limits, but in reality, what you seek the most is to win as efficiently and quickly as possible.
The only thing that is important at the end is winning, after all, you have to learn this in real life, especially in this harsh world, and engrave it into your heart.
When I was a younger dragon, I went through challenges because I had no other way around it, it was that or being eaten, I was thrown into a corner.
But now that I was strong and had time to prepare, I used it all for this moment, to get here and beat this annoying old man so we can continue our lives as usual.
I am pretty sure this won't be the first sect we might overtake. This harsh world won't let us be even if we tried to live peacefully here.
This world is constantly being watched by beings from above too, Immortals, roam the skies sometimes, and are incredibly good at just watching. They like to see what mortals are up to, but usually don't interfere because they're too busy or simply due to an oath with the other major sects, killing mortals as an immortal is a taboo punished by the law of the Aesir Descendants Pantheon that oversees the world through the Heavens above.
We had already seen Immortals before. I had not told this anyone. I and Fuyu saw them sometimes flying around the skies. They thankfully didn't manage to notice my castle, or perhaps they did and thought of it as nothing special and continued doing what they did…
But their power was overwhelming enough to annihilate all of us if they wanted to.
We are pretty much in a rush to grow stronger and become Immortals ourselves, so we can live more peacefully… it is a bit fucked up, but that's how this world is.
Many sects might become ours in our search for power, sadly…
We jumped across the corridors as I walked through the empty palace.
It was awfully empty, not even a single servant.
Wait, did this guy predicted us coming here?
When we rushed inside the sect master's room, what we found was…
"Unnggh… Aaghh! D-Drake…?! H-HELP!"
The Sect Master asking for help, as several mysterious figures were draining all the blood out of him.
They glared at us with crimson-red eyes.
