Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 287: The Potential Of My Child!

Wait, so it will be some kind of chimera?!

I see… You probably can see its gender already, right? Well, don't tell me, I kind of want it to be a surprise for both of us.

After evolving so much, the System's ability to a.n.a.lyze things had become insane. She can get all this info out of the baby with just a glimpse of my eyes.

Also, the System A.I. had become incredibly more complex and detailed in its descriptions, which helps a lot at understanding completely what is going on at times.

Which is amazing, of course!

Now, I will tell Benladann.

"I've a.n.a.lyzed the baby… Although I can't see the gender, I can calculate that it might be born in around two months, maybe a bit less…" I said.

"Oh my… R-Really?!" asked Benladann.

"Yup, not gonna take that long, eh?" I laughed.

"T-This is a bit too soon! Seeing how a month goes flying… In two months I'll be giving birth…" sighed Benladann, getting a bit nervous.

Her mother quickly sat at her side and hugged her.

"Don't worry dear, we'll help you out in giving birth. I've already given birth once, so I know how to deal with it, and Draugann here was a birthing nurse too, so she knows her stuff." Said Benlah.

"Thanks a lot, Benlah, we really appreciate it," I said.

"Don't worry dear. That's what family is for." Said Benlah while smiling warmly. My mother-in-law was a gentle and motherly woman, she was already like my second mother I guess, and had begun to spoil me as well by preparing me things I like alongside Benladann. It's nice to have a tender family.

"And we men can… I guess we can cheer for her while we wait. Hahaha! Don't worry, I'll be there so you can handle the nervousness a bit better. I personally was going crazy when my little dear Benladann was being born." Laughed Laddan, Benladann's father.

"I see… I'll be counting on you then, father-in-law."

"Just call me Laddan, no need for formalities in the family." Said Laddan.

"Alright, Laddan."

Laddan is a pretty manly and strong man, he was also a bit annoyed when he came back and Benladann and I were acting so close out of nowhere for them. I suppose it must have been hard to get used to, especially because this old man looked like a daughter-kon. Nonetheless, I managed to get through his heart after some time, so he treats me pretty nicely now

"We'll get through it all together as a family, right? So for now, let's relax and-"

"Wait, shouldn't we be training for the tournament?" asked Yuki.

"Ah… Well, not us, we are OP, but yeah, you guys should get to train a bit more, make sure to practice abilities that can easily knock out people… Like a hit in the neck or something strong." I said.

"Alright…" everyone sighed a bit, but it was true!

Oh right, the potions for Benladann to get to Rank 4 were almost ready, maybe in a few more days, she'll be able to take them.

For now, we decided to relax and have a slice of life episode.

Oh right, the treasures of yesterday, how not to forget them?!

I quickly went to my own laboratory with Benladann, as I dropped most of our loot from yesterday, there were some Rank 3 Cores from the brainwashed Elders we killed, alongside a lot of money, artifacts, and a bunch of interesting scrolls, grimoires, and treasures that Ca.s.siopeia got from her inheritance.

Oh right, that woman's story is interesting, I saw her through her soul. Let's say she had a spoiled life and was rather an annoying woman her entire life.

I would have a.s.sumed she had a sad past, but it was just boring. She was just greedy and selfish.

She got into the inheritance by mistake when she tripped over the snow while hunting bears around 7 years ago. She ended entering an underground dungeon and had to complete a challenge of beating monsters and gathering keys to open the doors. It looked difficult, but she pulled out with effort and luck.

After that, she got into a treasure room where she met a little ghost that told her everything and even helped her form her Shadow and Phantom Attribute Mana Core… and she was given a lot of knowledge regarding spells and more too.

Lucky woman…

Anyways, I ate her soul and got her knowledge, a bit of it.

And now, there's these Mana Cores, and I could eat them…

I don't know if I could add them into me, I don't know the technique, nor it seems possible even with it anymore.

So might as well just eat them.
