Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 313: A Little Experiment And The Calm After The Storm

Chapter 313: A Little Experiment And The Calm After The Storm

-----

I had drained all of the Sect Master's Mana and then pierced his chest with my claws, taking away his Mana Core and grasping it tightly!

I then replaced it with the Rank 3 Mana Core of a freaking Shadow Crow and then took away his Mana Core into my Inventory. After that, we healed him until he was fully back to life.

His Mana Veins ended destroyed and most of his internal organs were barely healed, but the flow of Mana was disrupted and now he was probably Mana-less, until he was to develop the ability to flow Mana into this new "prosthetic" mana core.

If he was still alive it meant it worked. Usually, those that get their Mana Cores extracted simply die, but we successfully replaced it with a low-grade Rank 3 Mana Core now! And it was also from a Shadow Crow, a Dark/Shadow Attribute Monster.

I had always wondered what could happen to a living person if they had their mana core replaced with that of a strong monster, it was also an experiment that could completely revolutionize my entire Sect in terms of power leveling. If I could fill everyone's bodies with monster mana cores and let them develop them individually, then everyone could grow stronger and develop even more attributes.

The sect master here humbly offered himself to be used as my guinea pig. Don't worry man, you're not dead or anything, you're alive and kicking, I a.s.sure you!

"Y-You're all… insane…" he dropped unconscious once more after that, and we used this opportunity to enslave his soul.

I used the power of my Phantom Magic and the spell that Ca.s.siopeia had. Now that he had dropped his Rank from 4 to 3 (?), I was able to easily suppress his power.

His Ice Magic had completely disappeared from him, and now his Status seemed pretty weakened. I am honestly amazed; I've never been this excited about seeing an old man develop.

"Wow, you really just did that! And it worked and he's still alive, amazing!" said Benladann. She was just as crazy as me in certain things, so in such things as these, she didn't get pale in horror or something but found it just as amusing as me.

She had begun to become my partner in my laboratory too, so she's developing a liking over experimentations and finding out ways to grow stronger through doing things that many would think are "taboos".

Amongst them, there was what was happening right here, the sect master had his precious Mana Core replaced by the pitiful one of a Rank 3 Monster! Let's see how much he developed in the future, heh.

"Indeed, I've done it, and it worked… Now we just have to wait and see what he would become… Anyways, now that we are done with this, what should we do?" I wondered.

"We cannot leave things as they are, let's clean the crime scene and then quickly bring the Sect Master to his room, let's stay the night here for now so when he wakes up, we can tell him who's boss now… though with the phantom contract I am sure he knows already." Said Benladann.

"Good idea…"

We left the sect master over his bed and then we rushed outside of the palace. I quickly dismissed the Illusion Domain and expanded my senses across the entire place.

There were a few slime clones inside of Rakasha's house. As of now, Ruby was sleeping soundly in her little bed, and Rakasha was repairing some rusty weapons to sell them for a higher price using his blacksmithing abilities.

Everything seemed fine.

Seeing through the outskirts through small flying clones, everything was alright as well.

It seems that these Three Vampires were the only ones sent this night. That one Tyrannical Lady was very confident that they would attain victory and bring her Ruby…

Well, too bad we emerged here, and we ruined all her plans easily and thoroughly through the power of friends.h.i.+p.

Well, not really, more like we just ma.s.sacred them completely.

Although Rose was pretty strong, I struggled a bit with her. Maybe if Benladann wouldn't have been busy with that one guy, we could have beaten her more easily.

This fight, however, helped me gain a lot of insights about what I am missing in terms of power and more. It made me realize my flaws and what I need to keep growing stronger in. I realized that I was able to tank her hits, but still, they put a lot of pressure on my body and also my soul.

My soul itself is not so strong. I've been slowly developing it, but it is still weak. My body might be able to regenerate a lot as long as I got a lot of energy stockpiled, but the soul? If my soul is destroyed, then it's game over, no matter what body I have.

But that also applies to these accursed Vampires too, their souls could be damage for extra damage to them. Their bodies would also feel weakened as well. Although it was better to simply smack them so much, they would grow exhausted and fatigued, and their vampiric powers would weaken a lot after that.

I used all I could against her, and it felt truly like a good battle experience. A good battle…

Now, I have to relax a bit while calculate what I lack and what I can improve on…

And well, there's the whole issue with what to do now…

Ah right, Benladann also fought a lot against that one guy. He was probably only a bit weaker than Rose, and definitely stronger than the Mage dude. She struggled a bit against him, but she managed to pull through surprisingly well. She's amazing after all.

She defeated him and even cut off his head, another weakness of Vampires which I don't have, as I can place my brain anywhere in my body or become a slime temporarily and completely negate it…

We sat near the throne as we began to discuss our next course of action.
