Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1535 Terrific Teachers

Chapter 1535 Terrific Teachers

"I am not as strict as this woman." Said the Fox Venerable after the Frost Queen finished speaking. "While she'll get out any talent you have not discovered deep down, I will make sure to make your souls much stronger. Did you know most of you guys' souls are the same even when you were mortals? Your bodies and divine cores might be different, but the souls you possess are just as frail as they were when you were born. To fight powerful foes that can even hurt or destroy your soul, such as Demons, you'll need to make your souls at least… a thousand times stronger."
"T-Thousand Times?!" Hector muttered, stepping back in awe. "Is my soul at least a bit stronger? I do have some light in there…"
"Yes, yours is slightly bigger, we'll need it to be nine hundred and ninety-nine times stronger." Belle joked with him, making Hector feel even weaker than before.
"How do we train our souls?" Pekora asked. "I've communed with many spirits; divine spirits usually rest inside my soul. And isn't the Divine Realm kind of part of it as well?"
"Yes and no." Belle said. "The Divine Realm affects the strength of your divinities and your overall stats, but it doesn't really make your soul stronger, it makes your divine core stronger. Similarly, if your Divine Realm is feed with Divine Treasures of high rankings, your Divine Core will eventually rise in ranks. That is something some large divine families use to rise their children to divinity quickly." She looked at the golden-spooned Emerald.
"E-Eh? Me?" Emerald muttered. "Well, I guess…"
"Nonetheless, you Dragons have very strong souls from birth, and they get stronger naturally as you become Divine Dragons." Said Belle. "For you, we'll need your Souls to get only… perhaps five to ten times stronger? Drake's Soul is already incredibly strong, but it could become stronger. I know he can do it by himself though. He has learned the ways from me."
"And the Light Dragons." I answered. "They gave me a special Divine Ability, their special Soul Cultivation Techniques. I know you cannot learn them because you have no Light Dragon Bloodline Affinities, and some aren't even Dragons. But I think you could still copy the principles and apply them to yourself."
"Right, we could combine them with my own Soul Tempering and Soul Refining Techniques to improve upon them. Just make a watered-down version of the Light Dragon's Soul Refinement Arts." Belle said.
"Good idea, I'm already designing the technique." I nodded. Within my mindscape, I was assembling divine power runes and channeling them together, copying the same runes the Divine Ability produces when I activate it. It had many draconic runes. I think dragons could use them if I take away the "affinity" part of it, it will grow weaker though. And for the rest, I'll need to take both affinity and dragon runes. "So what we're training is Divinity Talent Awakening and… Soul Refinement?" Asked Benladann. "I know my soul is grossly strong and all, but I could always get it bigger."
"Your soul is perhaps the largest amongst everyone here, it might be bigger than ours too…" Belle said.
"Without a doubt, Benladann and Miranda are connected through souls too…" The Frost Queen said.
"Well, the thing is, my soul still used to be very weak. The Mold itself, when Miranda was crazy and evil, constantly infected it and took over my body. And I had all of this Chaos within me… It was hard to control. Drake had to help me in that when we just meet, this is how he awakened soul bending abilities I think." Benladann sighed.
"Yeah I had to literally stitch her soul back together and make it into a sort of bag around all the chaos consuming her." I answered. "But she's much better now, after growing stronger and devouring souls, she had fully absorbed these powers, which essentially made her soul immensely big, but even then, I think she hasn't mastered all of its powers yet."
"Did you really had to call me evil? I was just a bit… wrong in a lot of ways. I was crazy yeah, but not evil!" Miranda crossed her arms while pouting. "But I can help you in that too. I mean, we just need to keep on practicing our abilities, right? We have to let out more of that Chaos across the Mold, my Shapeshifting could use some more improvements too, and the Fragments of Ragnar?k that add to our dragon transformations, we have to master their powers better. The Chaotic Spirits and Chaotic Beasts too."
"There's actually a lot I need to practice…" Benladann sighed. "Oftentimes it always felt like I was barely strong enough to not die… This feeling of powerlessness is very annoying. Especially now that I have kids, I can't just be as reckless as I used to be when I have my daughter to take care of."
"Mama! I also want to train; I have Mold too!" Benladra said. "But I don't know how to summon it…" Benladra was born with a Unique type of Mold. I was able to see it on her Skill list, simply named [Anti-Mold], but since then, she has never been able to use it either. She also got her Unique Skills such as her Stargazing Eyes and her Heaven Magic, both need to improve so she can make them grow stronger too. Especially Heaven Magic, which has the potential to go against Pandemonium.
It wouldn't be an understatement to say Benladra is one of our trump cards against Pandemonium, the thing is, I don't really want to rely on my daughter for such things. I want to protect her, not to force her to fight an impossibly overpowered foe.
So its really hard to decide and make up my mind. Unless I make her grow strong enough I'll be much more confident about it.
"We'll try to learn that as well then, Benladra." Her mother caressed our daughter's head and then lifted her off the ground to carry her on her big arms.
"Papa, can mama teach me how to use system magic better?" Suddenly Kate appeared by my side. "Oh… I hadn't thought about that." I was surprised. "Alright Kate, I'll ask her."
