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

Chapter 521: Don't Dare Replace Me!

-----

After Belle had her fill and we also ate lunch with her, she went to sleep right away, while Benladann decided to rest over the bed.

Leaving the two sleeping, I decided to walk around the castle with Miranda at my side.

I wanted to help out Fuyu now that we were free. She was working hard to get done the special facilities within her body, but if I could help her, things would become way smoother.

I moved around the garden which surrounded the castle and saw from the distances how several materials were slowly begin assimilated and constructed, a large cannon made of ice was being formed, no, many of them all around.

There were around six of them which would be formed around her, they were still in construction, but they can be activated like I had explained previously, through the intervention of other members of our group.

There are large altars where you simply have to touch them to infuse your elemental mana, after that, the entire cannon would glow with bright light and be activated, unleashing a powerful elemental attack, often in the form of a beam.

It was a devastating cannon attack that I wanted to use in the raid, but Fuyu was still making them, after all the entire blueprints to make it were made just two days ago when I was brainstorming with her.

I flew at her side while Miranda hanged out with me, as I flew around her body and began to generate large pieces of ice using the Icesmith Skill, no, the advanced form, Magic Icesmith!

With this powerful Skill, I was able to generate even harder and durable ice, so durable I could even infuse certain powers into it, depending in what I wanted with it, alongside aiding in the construction of items using the ice, becoming more and more complex.

Perhaps one day I will be able to make ice robots out of them and I won't even need souls for them to automatically move… Ah, maybe I am fantasizing too much?

Well, although other souls usually don't obey me, I can always cut my soul and make them into clones like Skadi, Uller, and Fuyu herself, all of them came from pieces of my soul.

I've done smaller clones since then, such as the slimes, mostly for utility or "to be in several places at once", as I use some of them and make them take my shape to go visit the ice moon sect, for example.

But now that I also got my Orochi Heads as Clones, maybe I shouldn't worry too much over it. Although my desire of increasing the size of my ice golem and snow beast army is still there.

I've been trying to make a spell that could forcefully control souls so they can become my loyal servants after I raise them… But its hard. In this world it appears that Death Mages cannot easily control other people…

Oh well, there's Phantom Magic and the spell I got from that witch in the ice moon sect, which she used to bind others' souls and make them into zombie-like servants, but it has its limits, this was also the reason why she wasn't able to create an army of wild monsters with it, so I have to be selective, the spells cannot be conjured so easily and made in masse.

Phantom magic is something I am slowly getting into, using phantasmal powers to possess items and force them to move, like when she manipulated the entire house to move to her will, and such things, can be possible.

But it could be said that I've already done something like that with Fuyu… so its not that impressive now that I think about it, right?

Fuyu, Skadi, and Uller are already a showcase of this "phantom magic power" so I kind of always had it, that's why I got the magic the moment I ate her mana core, it was just a branch of death magic.

Maybe I can just make more beings like Skadi, Uller, and Fuyu now… perhaps a whole second castle? Ah, but Fuyu would think I am replacing her… Although having a whole fleet of giant floating castles sounds too amazing to miss.

Perhaps I could shape them differently than just flying castles this time. I had considered making a ship-shaped one made of ice. Like a flying ship you always see in fantasy stories… I've always wanted one of those.

And also a mega golem, like a titan made of ice… that would be interesting- wait, a mecha!

No, I am going back to the same topic of ice robots, that's not possible for now, too complicated.

But a titan made of ice would be interesting, although moving it around would be the hard part.

Maybe if Fuyu can grow big enough to harbor a lot of space, we can construct a special area where we can store the giant titan of ice to deploy it.

Maybe I could make these giants of ice for everyone to pilot- wait, no, I am going back to the mecha idea.

And what about smaller ice ships for everyone to pilot across the skies? If they're all with a soul inside, they should be able to fly well and take care of the people they carry too.

Wait, there are way too many ideas now inside of my head, I should had stayed without caring! Agh, now I have so many projects I want to do!

"Thanks for helping me out, Drake, if you keep helping, I think we can do this faster." Said Fuyu.

"Don't worry… Erm, would you mind if I made another flying castle?" I wondered.

"Do you want to replace me?! Am I am not good enough now?!" she asked.

I see, I guess that's her response. I knew it.

"N-No… I just thought that if I had more like you, we would become a stronger flying force, an Empire needs a lot of strength. I should abuse my powers more and form an entire fleet of flying objects made of ice packed with magic and powers to dominate my future enemies and their territories." I said.

"You really want to replace me… If you make so many of me, I won't be unique anymore! So no! M-Make another thing!" said Fuyu.

"Hah… Naiwa…" I sighed.
