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

Chapter 429: The Secrets Of The Winter Lotus Family Bloodline

-----

The System suddenly told me a truth that only made my mouth water a little bit, just thinking about devouring those mana cores they had just left buried made me imagine that I could get some new power out of it rather easily.

Fine, I will take those corpses as my payment… Donʼt worry, Mikohime doesnʼt have to know about it…

I had already decided to do this whenever I get the opportunity, probably at night. The security in here is an all-time low, nobody is looking anywhere, and nobody is caring about the other, so itʼs the ideal and perfect place to just steal anything I want.

Desecrating the death is not my thing but I am an Ice Giant, also these guys are dead from some time already, I canʼt even find their souls around due to how old they are, so I doubt they would oppose me or care at this point. I wonʼt take out the corpses because theyʼre probably just bones, but they left the mana cores there, which is a waste, so I will pick up these treasures for myself, there seem to even be some Rank 4 Mana Cores buried there!

Anyways, after giving me that wonderful idea, the System continued explaining me the Unique Skills which were the reasons behind all the powers and appearances of the Winter Lotus Family of Ice Giants.

The first one was [Yuki-Onna] a Unique Skill that shaped the body of the wielder into that of a beautiful lady of ice. The original wielder was probably a woman and not a man as they say she was, probably they said she was a man because the society of ice giants is mostly rather inclined to men, therefore revering a woman seems a bit wrong to them, idiots. I guess they changed history so the ancestor ended being a man instead of the original woman.

Due to this special unique skill, she was shaped into a beautiful and fairy-like woman like Mikohime is, resembling more like ice elves, actually theyʼre several times more beautiful than ice elves. This unique skill granted the charm abilities, affinity with magic, and perhaps ice immunity and ice manipulation… although this seems to not have been inherited as the magic Mikohime has is not even ice magic, and she doesnʼt seem to have an affinity with it despite being an ice giant.

Wait, just like that?! Itʼs called after the Japanese god of the Moon?! Damn this girl was overpowered! Is this how Mikohime got Moonlight Magic then? Is this inherited?

I see… So thatʼs where those Abilities came from. I am embarrassed to admit I might be a bit tempted of eating Mikohime now, but I am a civilized dragon, so I better forget that horrendous and monstrous thought from my mind before I begin to doubt if I am really a good-hearted person as I believe I am (I am probably not).

Amazing, so there was such a thing… It is incredibly to find out these things sometimes, I am amazed each time I discover how reincarnated people influence this world and its sects… Now we got this Sect Ancestor that founded the sect being a Reincarnated person probably from Japan…

She must had have an amazing life, I wonder how fun it was for her… Oh well, I hope she doesnʼt mind me picking up some shiny jewels around her familyʼs graveyard, no hard feelings, alright?

”Your family is really an amazing one, isnʼt it, Mikohime? Itʼs filled with wonderful things I wish I could have myself… Hahaha!” I laughed.

”Oh no… I am sure that Drake-sama has even better abilities. your power was incredible against those enemies, and you seem to be an innate and talented tamer to have tamed that giant snake from the enemy!” she said, pointing at Kuro.

”Aha… Yeah… I guess.” I sighed. I still wanted her powers quite badly.

Kuro realized we were talking about her as she woke up from her nap, she took her tongue out like snakes often do, and looked utterly adorable.

The dragon, however, seemed to look at her rather concerned.

”Y-Youʼre sure that thing should be trusted?” he asked.

”What? Who are you calling ”thing”?! Thatʼs my Kuro-chan, damn lizard! Respect her!” I roared through telepathy.

”O-Okay, calm down…” he sighed.
