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

-----

Today because Benladra was a month old now, we had to celebrate it with a picnic, and this is why we brought her to this small area in the garden that looked like a forest, just the three of us enjoying some family time together.

She ended playing around the flowers and that's what made her Life Magic trigger, making the plants around her transform into monsters… I have never seen any life magician being able to do this before, so this is probably some unique spells of my daughter.

After all, in this world, although people might have the same elements, they were always specialized into something, some were better at attacking from long range, others at close range, others were better at defending, some were better at recon, and other people at healing and treating wounds.

Even if the Ice Element was prevalent and most people had it, everyone had a different set of spells they had an affinity with. Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as making everyone completely unique in everything even with the same element, there were classifications, and of course, a lot of people had similar spells, but they were not massively the same, there were classifications after all, which were kind of like RPG games, Healers, Wizards, Fighters, and so on, even Tamers that specialized into using spells that can help them tame monsters or beasts.

All the Life Magicians I've seen mostly have either body-enhancement spells or have healing spells, with most of them being able to do basic life-infusion spells as well. There were some such as Samantha who were very talented, as she can also command plants as long as she's close to them, but that's it.

Meanwhile, Benladra's first ever spell made a group of plants mutate, fuse together, and become a massive plant monster with enough power to devour even Rank 2 people in a single bite.

Of course, it didn't had any mana core, monsters created through artificial means like magic spells don't have mana cores, ghosts too don't have, or Undead for example also lack it, but over time if they grow stronger somehow (often by eating other souls in the case of Ghosts or flesh in the case of Undead with bodies and other monsters) they can accumulate mana and materialize it into a mana core, often happening after they evolve.

I know this because I saw it happening with Rose, Lily, and Austr, those last two being her new servant ghosts and the Vampires we just killed back then.

Oh right, we tried to interrogate them, but they didn't had much info, nothing that Rose didn't knew about other than that they were sent there to help Black so I couldn't really care much about them and left them for her to take care of.

Anyways, Benladra's spells are indeed quite unusual, creating monsters out of nowhere is something very dangerous that she had developed, but it is not as if she can't do anything over it, one of such things is… dispelling it! Monsters that have been created through magic can be dispelled and deleted out of existence, just like when you cancel a spell.

Of course that can't be done after they evolve once, as they become more independent… I have never had Life or Nature Magic so I cannot even experiment at making plant monsters, but just like when I make monsters out of ice and snow, they won't obey me, Benladra's plant monster didn't obeyed her nor served her, and it was about to eat her alive.

And this is why it is very dangerous to create monsters with magic, without a proper way to force them to obey you, such as my Phantom Contracts that I can force into the soul of those I want to serve me, Benladra would had died…

No, actually, I am pretty sure she would had survived that, but she would had certainly gone through a lot of pain while being eaten and she would had battled gone mad, and perhaps destroy even more at the end, going berserk with her powers to survive after she realized she wasn't dying due to her Pseudo Immortality healing her from her wounds all the time… Ah, I don't want to imagine such a thing.

But for now, that's that… Benladra had already showed the ability to make plants, and after we celebrated her 1-month birthday with Benladann, we quickly decided to go move back to the castle.

However, Benladra didn't wanted, as she looked into the river and pointed it with her little finger, she wanted to go there and watch the fish.

"Well… Sure, let's go." I said.

"Wawa! Wawa!" said Benladra, she called "wawa" to water.

"Look at that, this water looks so crystalline, and there is a lot of fish going around sometimes…" said Benladann.

"Oh? Is that a small crab?" I wondered.

"River Crab!" said Benladann.

We sat down near the river as Benladra looked into the flowing water with her shiny silvery-white eyes, she was enchanted by the beauty of the place, and didn't seemed to want to stop looking.

She had been in love with all of the world since she was born after all, it feels like she never even had the chance to have a good life in her previous life, as if everything was always negated from her, perhaps she died inside a hospital or a closed space where she was never able to discover the outside world. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net .

I wonder how it was and what did she see… But perhaps it would be better if I don't try to meddle into her memories, I really don't want to see what terrible things she went through, it is better to concentrate in the present and try to give her everything she wants from now, especially love and care.

I like being a father, even with all its difficulties, and seeing my girl happy, and my wife happy is all I really want, it soothes my heart and makes me feel fulfilled…
