Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 636 - Time For Some Introductions

Chapter 636 - Time For Some Introductions

-----
[Day 245]
Today in the morning, after breakfast, we have decided with Benladann to bring Benladra to more people. In specific, I wanted to show her our monster pets.
Benladann has a tamed monster in her Luna, or Shiro, it has two names and whichever one works for her, it is a half-spirit and half-moonlight dragon.
Meanwhile, I have Frost, Kuro, Kumo, Yuki, Huginn, Muninn, and… and… I think those are all of them? Maybe I am forgetting someone? Skadi and Uller don't count in this category.
Also there are a lot of other kids that she should met, such as all the kids we adopted from Benladann's town, to Cassim, and maybe Shouta, Zephyr, and that other girl from the Jade Snake Sect.
We are slowly making our way to the Orange Forest Duchy, which is not the biggest but its not small either, in there, we'll met even more people than any sect we have visited, so it could be said that we'll finally enter actual civilization by going there.
So it's going to be a bit hard, and harsh, for her, in specific. Yes, Benladra! She's way too shy with people and she might begin crying whenever we get in the duchy, so we have to make sure she gets used to people… and monsters. I had heard that it is quite common for people to tame monsters, so we might see big monsters wandering around.
And that's why today we decided to first show her the big monsters… in reduced size! Frost, Kumo, and Kuro all can reduce their size to around one quarter of their original size by an ability named Body Size Alteration they have gained after being tamed by me, and growing a bit stronger.
It might already be obvious, but monsters tamed by me naturally gain Abilities they wouldn't be able to develop naturally, at all. This might also be thanks to the Dragon Marks that emerge in their bodies thanks to the Divine Protection of that one dragon god I got, which awakens inner potential.
Also the System strengthens my allies through a variety of different Skills too, so there's that. And thanks to this, they can acquire weird abilities that often seem oddly convenient but that are welcomed and useful.
Because there's no way we'll have a gigantic forty meters big spider walking inside this castle, or a thirty-meter big snake, right? So it is nice that they can reduce their size…
Since those two defeated their parents back then in the war against the Dark Shadow Sect that they grew pretty strong too. They had developed some new abilities, and even gained some new titles, as if they became the leaders of their race now that they defeated the previous leader.
I don't know if this apply to all of their race, but they don't seem all that common, so there might not be any other dark spiders or dark snakes around the world, especially because these two races seemed to be made artificially by Black long ago, so they're the few that might remain.
Kuro is a male… I think, I have never actually checked him. And Kumo is a female, and she can lay eggs as long as she got mana for it, so she's already building back her empire, and ever spider obeys her, and she obeys me, so we got an army of spiders.
We mostly use them as cattle for now, all three sects have giant spiders as cattle now, they grow quickly and can eat anything that is meat, even bones are okay for them, they're not like real spiders that need to drink juice out of their victims and got big jaws to devour pretty whole… although they can still drink the juice out of victims if they wanted to.
They also grow big fast, so they're used as cattle with ease, and Kumo doesn't seem to mind this at all, being happy to serve me as if she were giving me food by laying eggs. Of course, not all of them are cattle, we are also raising a group for our army, giant spiders that we can use to attack other enemies with armies, we are raising them currently inside the dungeons, so they have the prey there to eat and grow stronger by draining mana from the dungeons.
We currently have around fifty battle-capable Rank 3 Spiders, but some might begin having mutations like those we once fought, some even had wings, scorpion stingers, and more, and they might grow even stronger through such evolutions, after eating a lot, that's it.
For now, we are mostly raising them slowly, but they'll become a strong army when we reach the hundreds, even other higher ranked experts might not be capable of fighting so many spiders! And all of them will only be the appetizer as we use our stronger high-quality troops to fight and lead the spiders as well… hehe.
Anyways, moving on, we carried Benladra outside of the room once more, and we moved upstairs to another room. In the way, Benladra glanced around the entire castle curiously but timidly, looking at some portraits that an artist has been making of all of us, there were many portraits of me and Benladann…
We also want a portrait of Benladra and another with all three of us, but she's so shy and too energetic to get still for a while when the portrait is being drawn… So that's a rather hard thing to do.
"Papa… Mama… Wewe?"
Benladra asked "where are we going" pretty much, whenever she says "wewe" it means "where?" as if asking where are we going.
"We are going upstairs, there are some pets we want to show you, they're friendly." Said Benladann.
"Pet?" she asked curiously and a bit timidly.
I caressed her head and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry they're nice and cute, you just have to get used to these kind of creatures, so we won't have issues later on…" I sighed.
