Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1922: The Potential For A Spirit Core

Chapter 1922: The Potential For A Spirit Core

Yuki crossed her arms slightly grumpily after hearing my words, pouting.

"What do you mean I don't need to push myself hard? So you still think I'm weak and that you can just solve every problem right? Because I am not accepting that anymore!" Yuki said angrily. "I discovered I was a freaking G.o.ddess from another World, and I got these Divine Spirits guys, so there's definitely no way I'm going to continue being pathetic."

"Ah, come on, calm down..." I muttered, as she got all grumpy and started poking my chest with her index finger's claws, they were quite sharp. "I was just saying that you shouldn't push yourself to the point it is too agonizing. But well, if you're so serious, tell me what you've been doing so far."

"Well I first began practicing more Spirit Magic!" She said with a nod. "With the help of Amehia and Pekora, I've been figuring out the ins and outs of Spirit Magic and how to conjure it properly."

"Oh that's great, I could help you learn a bit too... I guess not now, we're just a few hours from the trial starting again..." I muttered.

"I didn't really want to bother you with that, Drake," Yuki said. "I know you're busy with your big family and all your wives... Huh, I remember you saying only Benladann was the girl for you... Well, look how things turned out at the end."

"I-I swear it's not like I ever planned it to become like this!" I said, feeling shocked she even said that to my face like that. "But yeah... I kind of ended fumbling it... I mean, they were... Did I even have an option with them? One was Miranda, she came with Benladann and I just... didn't want her to feel lonely. And then there's Andromeda, she was the System that was with me the whole time so... Yeah."

"Yeah, yeah, I guess you didn't have any option right..." Yuki muttered, looking a bit annoyed. "I guess there wasn't anybody else out there... That you didn't have any other option too?"

"Hm? What in the world are you implying now?" I sighed, crossing my arms. "Yuki, are you...?"

"I didn't imply anything! I'm just joking around, dummy, hahaah!" she laughed, hitting my face with her long tail, it was soft and smelled good."

"Well, don't joke with things like that..." I sighed, crossing my arms, and then I patted her head. "You're part of my family too, Yuki. You don't even need to act like you aren't. come to eat breakfast with us, lunch, dinner. And spend time with us. The family loves you. Benladann too, and also the kids always like to play with you."

"W-Well..." she blushed a bit, fidgeting her long hair. "I'm grateful... Maybe I'll do that then."

"Good girl, aren't you a good girl?" I patted her head even more.

"D-Don't treat me like a pet! Cut it out!" She hissed at me, hitting my arms with her little hands, she packed a punch now.

"Hahaah, sorry, sorry, bad habits die hard," I laughed. "As they say... Oh! Right, maybe I could help you out though? I learned a way to create Spirit Cores. But not everyone can get one... I've been trying to see if someone had the potential for it, but amongst everyone here, I think you've got the best! Want to try it?"

"S-Spirit Core? What's that?" Yuki asked.

"It's usually a core Spirits have," I explained. "I kind of became half-spirit myself, you see.... long story short..."

I explained to her what had happened this morning, and she was quite shocked. "Y-You crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You turned your d.a.m.n Doppelganger into a Divine Spirit?! Are you crazy?!" She cried. "What if you became some sort of Spirit yourself or something worse? Are you stupid? Yeah you are!"

"C-Calm down, even if it failed I would've been fine... maybe," I muttered. "Wait, could I really had died?"

"Spirits are completely different beings," she sighed. "Their bodies are made of purely ethereal essence that doesn't even properly originate from our world but from somewhere else, a different plane of existence that is connected to the rest of the Universe. To us Spirit Energy seems like the most natural, but it's quite dangerous! Spirits didn't even exist in this world before the Fox Venerable came out and spread their existence everywhere."

"Yeah I sometimes forget that a lot of the things we take for granted about this world were introduced by someone else that wasn't from here... Just like me and my System," I nodded. "Anyway, that doesn't matter anymore, so do you want it or not?"

"Hmm... Um, well, if you're doing it then maybe... sure," Yuki nodded, sighing. "But it better not fail or something and I end up with my Soul fried!"

"Hahah, come on, I have never failed doing these things, you can trust me!" I nodded at her, she only squinted her eyes, crossing her arms.

"That smile doesn't seem trustworthy at all!" She complained, hitting my face with her tail again.

"Stop hitting my face with your tail all the time! What's gotten into you- Guh?!"

She did it again and again though.

"Shut it!"

She was a bit more irritable than usual, but well, that's the Yuki I know anyways, she sometimes has these mood swings.

Well her tail is fluffy and soft, and it smells nice, so I don't really mind.

It only makes me want to pet her head more.

"Let's go over there, at that tree that my daughter interacted with before. You know its story? This is Greenie, an Orange Tree she planted," I explained to her, as we made our way there.

My family was already setting up the dessert picnic we were going to have, Benladra ran towards us as she brought a big slice of the orange Greenie gave to her.

"Greenie said I should share this with everyone, it's really juicy and sweet!" She said. "And the seeds, I'll plant them around the divine realm later, will you help me daddy?"

"Of course love," I kissed her forehead. "But papa's going to be a bit busy for a couple of minutes, I'll help your aunt here at something, we can eat after that."

"O-Oh, sure! I'll wait then!" she ran back to our family.
