Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 928 A Talk With A Venerable

Chapter 928 A Talk With A Venerable

-----
Why do all these women always want to have sex with me?
Sigh… it is one of the things I would rather avoid now that I have a wife.
Maybe if I had never met Benladann… I could had have a harem? I feel like I would had forced into it more than agreed willingly.
I'm glad Benladann is there to quickly fend off any girl that tries to get a jump on me. I am not into getting with more women once I've experienced a time in bed with Benladann… And I guess Miranda is an exception to the rule.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Master! I was just messing around… I-I totally not want to have hot dragon intercourse… or something…" Terra cried, feeling slightly down. Was she really messing around?
"Sigh, you're really a pervert, huh?" The Venerable sighed. "I am sorry for this, Drake…"
"I-It is fine…" I said. "If I ever find a male dragon, I might bring him back here so you can meet him, Terra. But it will be up to you if you want him in your bed."
"O-Ohhh! Really?" She wondered. "I might not be able to have children but I never experienced what it felt like… I would gladly accept your proposal!"
Terra was surprisingly childish for the personality she showed back then in our fight. I suppose all dragons have two personalities, the most dragon-like one where they show their beastly nature, and then the introvert personality they only show to their closest ones… I've experienced the same thing with my family as well, from my mother, father, and then my grandmother.
"Anyways, what she wanted to tell you was something else, right, Terra?" The Venerable asked with a very evil-looking smile. Terra nodded timidly at that.
"Y-Yes…! What I wanted to tell you is that I can give you Earth Dragon Bloodline so you can awaken the "Path" towards the that area of the Draconic Records! Yes… that was what I wanted to say." Terra said.
"Oh? You can?! But you're a soul now, right?" I wondered.
"Her body has been conservated within my Divine Ice for eons." Said the Venerable. "You can absorb its blood to gain the Bloodline of the Earth Dragons."
"Oh, that's convenient… But why didn't you just revive her normally after she died if you got the body and the soul?" I wondered.
"Reviving someone is not something easy at all, Drake! I never had any affinity for Death Magic either, and even though I had the tools to imitate part of it, I wasn't able to bring myself to raise my friend as a decaying undead. Infusing life into her corpse didn't reanimated it either as it has been a while since she died." She sighed.
"So that's how it is…"
"In fact, that you have Death Magic is very impressive and rare." Said the Venerable. "It is, after all, an extremely rare element. How did you exactly get it?"
"Huh…"
I guess it is part of my System's powers. I remember that I slowly began awakening the power to manipulate my Soul, over time I was able to raise undead by infusing bits of my soul into something, and then when I developed it enough, I evolved into something with affinity to death, and gained the magic and even a second Mana Core with the affinity. I suppose it is all thanks to my System which defies logic in this world. Other people can't easily just change their affinity. Even a Venerable, which might had been permanently locked to her affinity once she ascended into Rank 10.
"(System, should I tell her about you? Do you think she's trustworthy?)"
[Hmm… She is. I want to trust her as well, Drake.]
"(Alright, I trust your judgement.)"
"It is part of my Unique Skill: System. From the world I came from, there are things named Video Games that are very similar to this world in many ways, but a simulated world made through our technology to enjoy ourselves and have fun. When I died I had a wish of having a game-like system, which manifested into this Skill, it grants game-like powers to me which let me Evolve into different races, gain Skills and Magic without needing their affinity, and "Level Up" the Skills to strengthen them." I said. "Amongst other things."
"S-System…" The Venerable said. "Impressive, so you're able to get new affinities through such power?!"
"Yes, I can use Divine Power as a currency and get Affinities." I said. "Or even strengthen them, as they have Ranks, the max Rank is SSS. When I absorb Divinities I can also strengthen my Affinities."
"E-Eeeeeh?! The prophecy didn't said anything about such a ridiculous power!" The Venerable herself was shaken by my System. "You know that the stronger we grow, the harder it is to gain Affinities for the elements, right? It is a very troublesome and hard thing! Even the strongest Mortal Magus with many affinities did it at the expense of their lifespan or modifying their bodies to the point they ended mutating into monsters. Many experts have attempted to gain many affinities, but they often stopped at three, and the stronger they grew, the harder it became to get all mana cores together in the same rank. After all, one cannot rank up if the others aren't in the same rank, making cultivation several times slower… This is why all Venerables mastered one single element, with a secondary one." Said the Venerable. "My secondary Element was… Creation."
I see, so that's how it is- Wait a second, Creation?!
"Isn't that the most OP though?!" I asked. "It definitely sounds overpowered!"
"Haha, yes, but it is flawed." She sighed. "I am not someone destined to Master the Element of Creation, that one is… you, Dragon King Drake." The Venerable said with a smile. "No matter how much I tried, I was never able to master it, I gained many new spells from it that helped me in creating this tower and more… But I hit a bottleneck until I died as my lifespan ended."
"Something like Creation Magic can only be mastered by me…?"
