Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1472 Trying To Tame The Demonic Power

Chapter 1472 Trying To Tame The Demonic Power

-----

(Drake's POV)

With the death of Test Subject-03, we were finally given a small chance to take a breather. That thing ended being overly deadly, and it took everything we had to defeat it.

I even had to rely on Gluttony yet again because it ended copying my own Immortal Body. Even if weakened, it was still almost immortal, making it impossibly harder to defeat. However, the power of Gluttony, albeit incredibly exhausting and mind-consuming, has the power to delete things once it eats them.

With that, I was able to devour its core completely before it could regenerate, ending the miserable creature once and for all…

After that, with Benladra's help, we were able to heal our wounds and eat something I had already made to recover our Stamina.

And, once more, Gluttony developed its powers further as I used it to devour strong enemies. Even if this creature was made of Dreams, unlike the previous one, I ended gaining something out of it…

Ding!

[Your {Demon King Seed} Germination Rate has increased by +10%]

[Your {Primordial Sin: Gluttony} has grown stronger and developed new Abilities.]

[You can now absorb a Fragment of the Power of anything you devour, no matter what they might be.]

[You have absorbed a Fragment of the Power of [Test Subject-03]!]

[Due to this being a Dream Manifestation of a being that had long ago died, the power you gained is limited.]

[However, {Primordial Sin: Gluttony} absorbs anything it can find anyways.]

[You gained +100.000.000 Divine Power.]

[You gained [Technomancy Divinity Fragment] x5 [Dungeon Divinity Fragment] x5 [Nature Divinity Fragment] x5 [Dream Divinity Frament] x5]

[You acquired the [Mimicry (S)] Divine Ability!]

-----

[Mimicry (S)]

A Unique Divine Ability once held by a monster capable of mimicking a target's form and powers, although not accurately, it can give a tremendous boost to your strength when used on the right targets.

Once activated, it is possible to mimic 25% of a target's Abilities, Divinities, and Skills, alongside their form to a partial extent for 10 Minutes.

These copied abilities are inferior versions of the original but can be used on top of your already existing powers.

Cooldown: 24 Hours.

With each Skill Rank, the Duration and percentage of copied abilities increases exponentially.

A very interesting Skill! I can only use it once every 24 hours, and only for 10 minutes, but it might come extremely useful in the right conditions. And it might have become a new trump card…

Anyways, it seems that Gluttony is developing to become something incredible, but because it consumes my own mental sanity and my divine power like crazy, it's not something I can easily utilize.

Therefore, I have to limit it for finis.h.i.+ng blows only, and only conjure its powers at least a few seconds, ten at most.

More than that, and it begins degrading my mind…

I have no idea if it will improve or get worse as its Germination Rate increases to 100%.

Honestly, I'm quite worried… but I can't bring myself to say this to everyone else.

"System… Will the Demon King Seed side effects become even worse in the future?" I wondered.

["I don't know the details, but it depends. It is a power you can utilize and also master."]

"Master?"

["It means that you could eventually tame its nature, and make it yours completely… However, it's a battle of wills, and not an easy one. You'll have to come into terms with your true self, and accept this power, while also not letting it consume you as well.]

"That sounds harsh… But there's a possibility for me to conquer its powers?"

["I believe so, or well, I hope so… Rejecting it is impossible at this point. But it also might have a power you could use against him…"]

"Pandemonium? You mean fighting fire against fire?"

["It might be your only proper weapon against him, as its primary powers hold Demonic Energy. However, you have yet to learn how to wield it. How about you practice?"]

"I'll need more than will for that… I need some sort of Divine Ability to boost my Mental Fort.i.tude, whenever I overuse Gluttony, it feels like my mind is splitting apart and its horrible."

["I believe you could strengthen your Soul Strength and Mental Fort.i.tude with the power of the Light Dragon's Soul Refining Technique, your soul has been growing stronger with that… But you're right, even that is not enough. Let's try to compensate with more Divine Abilities then. The Shop is still on, though there are no Divine Abilities related with Demonic Power manipulation to make it easier… So let's try with these for now."]

Ding!

[You have exchanged 50.000.000 Divine Power.]

[You learned the [Unshakable Mind (S)] Divine Ability!]

[You have exchanged 75.000.000 Divine Power.]

[You learned the [Dragon's Heart (S)] Divine Ability!]

[You have combined both Divine Abilities into [Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SS)]!]

-----

[Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SS)]

A Divine Ability born from the combination of the Dragon Heart and the Unshakable Mind Divine Abilities.

the dragons should ever do.

This Divine Ability acts pa.s.sively, boosting the user's Mental A Dragon King must always have an unshakable mind and a heroic heart! To fall before mere mind tricks is not something the ruler of the dragons should ever do.

As the mighty Dragon King, your Mind is not the only thing boosted, your very Soul grows stronger, enhancing its Soul Fort.i.tude, Soul Stamina, and Soul Strength by +150%.

-----

"Now this is a good Divine Ability! I have to admit it, I should had gotten this much earlier…"

["Certainly, you should! Well, you never fought against such a strong mind erosion before, so it cannot be helped… It was a bit pricy, but you've got Divine Power to spare right now."]

"Yeah… With this, I might be able to just do that."

Suddenly, as everyone was taking our last break, I sat down cross-legged. Some curious gazes reaching me.

"{Primordial Sin: Gluttony}"

And then, I decided to just jump the shark.

FLUOOOs.h.!.+
