Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 816 The Truth Behind The Inheritance

Chapter 816 The Truth Behind The Inheritance

"Another way? Like what?" Sighed the Venerable. "Also, how did you figured out everything so quickly? Is your System capable of appraising things and attain information from them?"
"Yes, precisely." I sighed. "I guess there's no point telling you about it, you just guessed it all after all."
"Eeehh… So that's it, huh?" She said while seemingly being uninterested, looking elsewhere. "So what?"
"Okay do you have to act so cocky now?!" I asked.
"Well I wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't fucked everything up!" She cried.
"Is this the language a venerable uses?!" I asked.
"Fuck being a venerable! It is an overrated title anyways!" She said angrily.
"You're hopeless…" I sighed.
"It's all your fault to begin with, Drake!" She cried.
"Right…" I said, as I began to think. "How does this egg entire function actually worked?"
"Ugh…" Sighed the venerable, looking down at me like a nuisance. "You see, you had to complete each dream accordingly, each time it happens, several things are activated and the essence of the world is drained from your connection to it as someone that was born within this century. Each time you complete the dreams, the egg gains more of this essence, at the end, it was supposed to gain around a thousand times its original power."
"W-Wha… that much?!" I asked.
"Yes! It was very intricate… But now I realize I should had never tied this function to an inheritance, stupid people like you exists after all." She sighed.
"Touché…" I looked at her for a bit and then began to have some ideas. "I read in the description that it says it requires divine materials to grow stronger, and divine power. I could supply it with both if you want to, so I can compensate for what I stole from you. I got roughly 900k divine power, if you want I can give it most of it. Was that all the divine power necessary?" I wondered.
"I have no idea! I don't have a weird system thingy like you do." She said. "But it sounds like a small amount, I doubt it was all, probably most of it was lost in the absorption… But now that you said that, it made me thought for a bit…" The Venerable smiled rather maliciously.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah… How about you make it a dragon?" Wondered the Venerable.
"Eh?! D-Dragon?!"
"Yes! This egg can absorb any divine material and gain its power. How about you put your soul and blood into it?" She wondered. "No wait, even if you sacrifice your entire life it wont be enough… Then I guess you could add more to the mix! Like your parents… and other dragons you find."
"W-Wait, hold on a second! Wouldn't that technically make your resurrection my daughter?" I asked.
"Fufufu~ It doesn't sound bad at all! I'll call you DADDY~ all I want!" The venerable began to laugh maniacally, as I felt like I was falling deeper into eternal despair.
"Ugh, fine…" I sighed.
"Also add giant blood, both dragons and giants are the strongest out there, your Benladra daughter is pretty overpowered due to being half and half. I also want that!" Said the venerable, acting like a spoiled brat.
"You're acting like a spoiled brat now…" I sighed while looking into the distance.
"I deserve being spoiled, you've literally ruined my plans! If you actually want me to be your friend and ally, then do as I say!" She said angrily.
"I hate this, but you're right… ugh, only because it's you, okay? You damn vixen…" I sighed.
"W-Who are you calling vixen?! You ruined everything, it's the least you can do! Don't get cocky now, lizard!" She said.
"Yeah I might had fucked up but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like I am garbage now!" I roared back.
"Are you bold enough to fight me now? Wanna go for round two? The last time you were just running away!" She said with a menacing smile.
"Bring it on! I beat Fafnir back then!" I roared.
"Hohohoh! Alright then! Come at me!" She laughed.
Both of us clashed against each other once more. I wasn't going to let her trash talk me nor treat me like garbage just because I committed a mistake. She doesn't have the rights, I am a free dragon too, if I ever help her, it is out of the goodness of my heart, not because I feel like I owe her anything! She had yet to be reborn so I still can spank her or something! Yeah, I am going to teach her a lesson and show her who's boss!

I lost, miserably. My soul was shattered into twenty pieces and I had to slowly fuse them back together, I felt like I was about to die a thousand times when she went all out against me, and even then, I think she was holding back. Holy shit, Venerables are monsters. How can I even beat one to begin with? I am deader than dead if I go against one. I might as well just hide for eternity.
"Ugh…"
"Hey, come on, what with the long face? Are you tired? Saddened? Weakened?" She laughed maliciously, as I was resting over the floor. This was a dream so only souls fight… and her soul was monstrously strong, my tiny soul with all its boost didn't stood a single chance. My soul was crushed, bitten, scratched, torn apart, sliced… agh, I've gone through enough torture for a thousand years of agony now.
But when I reattached my own soul back up again, I felt strangely… stronger? It felt slightly weird, but it was. As if my soul, even if torn apart, went through some sort of training where it grew stronger after going through all that damage and suffering.
"Do you feel any different?" She wondered.
"I… Feel stronger?" I wondered.
"Figures. You can actually train your soul to make it grow stronger inside dreams, you know?" She said.
