Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 2066: Drake's Plans

"Whatever man… Hic…! Master, do you get more of that booze?" Surtr asked.

"The bottle it's empty, gahahaha! We drank it all! Oops," I laughed. "Can't really make this with creation magic, too complex."

"Haaa…" Emerald sighed, looking rather restless.

I patted his shoulders with a smile on my face.

"You're a good kid, Emerald, and you've grown plenty… I know you might not even see me as a dad but… I kind of see you as a son in a way," I said. "And you kind of make me proud."

"…Master," he muttered, feeling moved. "Thank you… I do see you as a… fatherly figure…"

"Now, now, how about we make sure those demons inside of you stay obedient?" I asked him with a cocky smile. "Maybe before I wouldn't have been able to help you get too strong without the system and leveling and stuff, which I guess you've been doing plentifully already… But now that you got so many goddamn demons inside, I think I can help."

"…Really?" he asked. "But how?"

"We'll do a little experiment tomorrow morning, for now let's go sleep, I'm beat…" I yawned.

The day ended right there and then, I wasn't that drunk, I could possibly get too drunk, but the alcohol does make me feel a bit funnier. It has to be immensely strong though, using ascendancy law essence to be created.

Once I sneaked back into bed, I slept soundly surrounded by my wives, who understood that sometimes I needed some time alone with my disciples.

…

The morning arrived rather quickly, and I was pretty happy that as a powerful venerable, I don't suffer through things like hangovers. I spent the morning with my wives on bed, doing… well, having some fun.

Later, I had breakfast with my family in the large living room of our luxurious castle, and once I was free, I went to check on Emerald as promised. My kids came along as they wanted to assist me on my endeavor, while Benladann and Miranda stayed chilling in the farm while Andromeda spent some time with Fuyu.

Surtr was also there with Emerald, I guess he wanted to see what I was planning. I greeted them right away, carrying my children over my dragon body, even in their dragon forms, the were smaller than me.

"Hey, I'm back! Sorry, I had to bring the kids, they wanted to see what I was going to do."

"Hi!" Benladra said.

"Hello," Kate greeted them.

"Hey everyone…" Emerald said. "So, uh, master, what will you do that you promised?"

"I'm going to do a few things actually," I said. "Through our many battles against Pandemonium, I continued forging and improving my own demonic powers, so I've grown to become quite the master over this. I'll first start by turning those demonic souls into a demonic spiritual being, contracted directly to you. That'll make them even stronger, and they will obey you better."

"R-Really? That sounds great!" Emerald said. "But what else could you do than that then?"

"You'll get a Demonic Physique," I smiled. "That plus the super powerful demonic spirit fused into your soul should at least make you a hundred times stronger!"

I was exaggerating, but it was a lot of power.

"Uoh? That's true? Well, lucky you Emerald!" Surtr said with a smile. "You better take advantage of all this power."

"I will use it for good," nodded Emerald. "And when do we begin?"

"Right away, my kids already set up the formation," I said, as Emerald looked down.

"W-What?!"

His eyes widened, noticing a formation made form the blood of demons, their bone dust, and a lot of demonic souls I already had stored.

FLAAASH!

As the formation triggered, I injected spiritual power from my Spirit Core into the formation, rapidly crystalizing, merging, transforming, and then forcefully contracting the resulting entity to his soul.

"Woah…?!"

The thousands of demon souls that created this emerged from Emerald's body momentarily, resisting, but it ultimately fell to my power, forcefully turning into a Demonic Spirit Amalgamation, Legion.

Then, the contract made this power not only stronger but more in synch with Emerald, removing the risk of them ever overtaking his body forcefully… his demonic alter ego should remain mostly intact.

And lastly, I used all of this demonic and spiritual power and imbued it into his physical body, provoking an evolution of his divine wind dragon physique, turning into a divine demonic wind dragon physique.

FLUOSH!

Dark and red winds emerged from his body, as he felt the immense power now coursing through him… my calculations would say he became at least over fifty times stronger than before, so that's definitely a lot.

"O-Oooohhh! T-This power…! I had… no idea I could get this far?! And now it doesn't feel weird… it's like it truly is mine now," he gasped.

"Indeed," I smiled with a nod. "That alter ego is still there though… I couldn't remove it. But I don't think you wanted it to be gone either way, right?"

"Yeah… He hasn't appeared yet though, I think he's afraid of you guys, despite how he can act sometimes, he's kind of shy," Emerald giggled. "But thank you, master! With this power I can now properly protect my family…"

By his family he probably meant the whole village of the Jungle Lizardmen, Amehia's tribe. The Wind Dragons are strong, plenty, and safe on their own haven at least.

He could technically return any time now, his mother already approved of his return but… I suppose he doesn't really want to, he's happy down here, he even made a family and is going to be a father.

Man, I wish I could stay for years here, with my friends… I've already extended my time here for another two more months, but I think that's about it.

I'm a bit too worried about the world right now, and as the Dragon King, my responsibility is to protect it, and also seek other Dragons while I'm at it…

Therefore, until I can make sure that things are safe, I need to keep moving.
