Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 819 A Week After

Chapter 819 A Week After

-----
This way of making "special spirits" was very intriguing, especially the way they wouldn't be normal ones and could have their own life force and regenerate it, just like Belle, who became something closer to a real spirit. Meanwhile, all other spirits created through spirit creation are more like artificial spirits, they are disposable and be used as items for a small amount of time, they disappear after sustaining enough damage, often being very little, or when they run out of mana and dissipate after a few days at most. You can't really befriend these guys as they'll disappear, and they're all dummy too so it doesn't matter much… nonetheless, the sad part is that they're so amazing but disposable that it kind of turns you off for a bit.
Anyways, the good part is that you can make special spirits using materials, depending in how strong they can be and how you design them, they can become permanent companions. This is how Belle got a lot of allies after becoming a goddess, she simply created them. And this spirit she made, the Dream Spirit she created for the inheritance, our Belle, is one of those. She's quite special as she's a big crybaby, but now that she got her other half fused with her, she feels way stronger and her tiny fox form gained a new transformation where she turns around two meters big, alongside having more tails, pretty cool.
Since I've been thinking about it for a while, I considered if it could be possible to turn already existing living beings or living objects into spirits, and the venerable told me that it was extremely hard to do that, and better off to start from scratch… I wanted to make Skadi and Uller, the two living weapons I have, into divine spirits, but it seems to not be possible for the moment. But it is not impossible forever! The venerable told me that I needed more materials and be willing to spend… more divine power.
Yeah, I will be delaying the project because I am rather stingy. Anyways, Skadi and Uller are rather strong as they are anyways. With the new distribution of jobs and skills that level up, the two of them had become even stronger than before, and Skadi is the same murder hobo of always, coming to greet us from time to time or sometimes staying for a while, Benladra and Kate already see her as an auntie or something, and despite her murder hobo tendencies, she's a good woman with children. Her humanoid form really helps at keeping her non-threatening for the kids too.
Aside from this, I've been experimenting with the spirits and their combinations, finding out very interesting ones. I have yet to summon any Divine Spirits for the moment, but I do plan to summon some eventually, especially those devastatingly strong ones, if things get dire. My allies are growing stronger over all this time, it seems that the key to grow stronger was using and practicing the skills they were given and the jobs they were granted, everybody is getting rather great at what they do.
I don't know if at divine levels though, but pretty close to it by now, I've continued to produce Rank 5 Cultivation Potions, but mass distributing them seems pretty wrong, especially by how hard they're to make as I mostly use a lot of my blood and tiny pieces of my divine core, which I make into a special divine core powder. No other god would ever do something so insane, but thanks to the Divine Ability [Unique Skill: Immortal Body] even my Divine Core can regenerate the wounds I cause to it, so grinding a bit of it to make special divine powder is not bad and it doesn't weaken me as long as I do it rarely. Also, using alchemy to the level that can process divine materials is very hard, even for the Alchemist Jobs guys, so I have to use my own Alchemy Magic, preparing a batch of twelve Divine Cultivation Potions takes roughly a whole week outside, so a month in here… We barely got our first batch some days ago, and I decided to mostly feed them to Benladann, Benladra, and Tisha and Pekora, the last two are one of my most competent fighters. These potions don't instantly raise someone past Rank 5, but it can help them get there eventually, and then get past it.
For now these people are all Rank 5 so its fine, a few more dozen of potions might finally give them the status of divinity I want, but it is not going to be a breeze, it will take time, thankfully I am a patient man that is capable of sitting down quite calmness and wait for a long time. But I don't know if the rest can… Aside from me, there is another divine being here, yes- no, not Belle, but Kate. My daughter has divine power of some sort, and she also lacks a mana core inside of her, she's something in between divine spirits and rank 6 people, and might have the potential to grow stronger on her own. I had tried to feed her a potion of these, it didn't seem to work at all on her, sadly.
So this means that she has other ways of growing stronger, perhaps by absorbing energy from the environment or something? She is a very unique existence, I will have to ask later to the venerable how spirits grow stronger, the natural ones. But aside from that, I've just started to do classes to Benladra and Kate, mostly magic classes because I want the two girls to use their overwhelming strength properly. There are also normal classes done by Pekora and other good magicians in the castle, where a general group of children from our entire village gather to study their own elemental magic. Draugann, that old grandma, became a well-known magic teacher there from all things.
