Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 1649 Let’s Begin
-----
Ding!
[You have exchanged 300.000.000 Divine Power!]
[The [Mimicry (S)] Divine Ability has Ranked Up to SSS Rank!]
[The Divine Ability has gained new Abilities, and its previous effects have been improved!]
-----
[Mimicry (SSS)]
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% -> 50% of a target's Abilities, Divinities, and Skills, alongside their form to a partial extent for 10 -> 30 Minutes.
These copied abilities are inferior versions of the original but can be used on top of your already existing powers.
Usages Before Cooldown: 2/2 (New!)
Cooldown: 24 -> 12 Hours. -----
Looking at the upgraded Mimicry, it sure improved. Now I can copy half of a foe's powers, and the timing went from ten to thirty minutes. What's more, there's two usages before the cooldown instead of just one, and the cooldown has been reduced by half.
Still very restrictive for an SSS Rank Divine Ability, but seeing how powerful it is, and how I can abuse it, this cooldown and usage limit seems fair enough to me.
"Now, let's go."
I stepped out of the Dream Realm and walked back home, quickly arriving when Benladann and Miranda were almost done with dinner. I had lent them my divine cooking skill tools and also a lot of cooking and gourmet spirits, so they were able to easily prepare divine dishes.
"Welcome back honey! Did you get stronger again?" Benladann wondered. "I can already feel it within you, your soul for sure got stronger!"
"Yep, I can feel that as well." Nodded Miranda. "It was worth it to be gone for almost a whole day, huh?"
"It sure was, sorry for being late." I smiled. "Where are the kids?"
"Playing outside in the garden." Benladann said, beginning to place the plates with food over the table. "BENLADRAAAA! Dinner's ready! Bring your siblings!"
Like a true Ice Giant mother, Benladann screamed her lungs out, an incredibly loud call echoed outside the castle and reached the garden. And Benladra responded just as equally loud as her mother.
"OKAAAAYY!"
A few seconds later, she came flying with her little wings, carrying Kate and Drakda with her hands. Drakda's hands and face were covered on dirt.
"We're back! Dinner's ready?" Benladra asked, wagging her tail. "Oh, daddy's back!"
"Papa!" Kate also greeted me happily.
"Dadad!!" Drakda too.
All three of them ended hugging me tightly, covering my entire body.
"Okay, haha, I wasn't gone for a whole day, come on. Calm down." I gave them head pats before I washed Drakda's hands and face. "Benladra, what was your little brother doing? You let him get all nasty…"
"It's not my fault! He just wouldn't stop digging!" Benladra said. "When we tried to drag him out he would hiss at us angrily…" Kate said.
"Wait, what? Drakda! How can you hiss at your sisters?" I asked him, cleaning his little face.
"Dada? Wuh…" He suddenly got a bit surprised.
"Yeah, don't do that." Miranda nodded, grabbing him. "You got all nasty because you didn't listen to your sisters. Also if you dug in the garden I really HOPE you didn't uproot all the Divine Treasure Plants we got there…"
"I did my best to fix them, but yeah, he did…" Benladra sighed.
"Eh?!" Miranda got pissed off. "Young man, you might get grounded at the tender age of two months!"
"Graah?!" Drakda somehow understood that, panicking. "Dada! Dadaa!" He called for me for help.
"Sorry son, but you have to take responsibility for your actions… Use this time to think about what you did. Please, be more considerate with your bis sisters, they're only worried about you." I told him. "They're older than you, so you must listen to them."
"Buuhh…" Drakda sighed, looking rather disheartened.
Did we spoil him too much at the first few weeks? Benladra and Kate weren't as bratty… Or maybe they were, and we didn't realize? No, Kate is definitely the most well behaved. Benladra was reckless at her first years though, jumping into battles and everything, she also disobeyed a lot. But she has grown to become a very dependable girl, very smart and mature.
"Come on, for now let's eat." Benladann called. "Drakda, next time you hiss at your sisters, you're getting only half as much meat."
"GAH?!" Drakda screamed in panic. "Agahh! S-Sow… yy!" He suddenly panicked, looking at his big sister and saying "sorry".
"You really mean it? Hehe, it's fine, if you're sorry." Benladra smiled, patting her brother's head. "Yeah, don't hiss at me though…" Kate nodded.
"Wuuh…" Drakda quickly flew towards his sisters and hugged them, looking back at us.
"Hahah, he really knows his priorities. Okay, if you're really sorry. Let's just eat then." I laughed.
We sat down to eat; the atmosphere became more relaxed. That little mishap wasn't that big of a deal, btu I am glad Drakda realized his mistake very quickly and amended for it instead of trying to die in that hill. He's still a child after all, still learning and everything.
The day came to an end rather quickly after we had our dinner. After a family bath, the kids went to sleep, and I went to bed with my two wives. We had some sex before truly sleeping though, we can't miss some fun every night if we can.
The next days went on rapidly as well, we trained, ate, explored the divine realm, had some family times, and also continued training from time to time.
The weekend ended, and the next week finally began. Everyone that was ready to depart had already gathered in front of the Ice Castle, my friends, Surtr, Emerald, everyone.
"You must be a bit nervous right now. It's finally time after all… Fuyu has moved near the Venerable's Inheritance, so once we step out, we're immediately going to the Gates. She reported to me that Pandemonium and that other bastard are already inside, waiting for us…" I told my family and friends. "This might be our hardest battle ever, perhaps even when compared to the future. Make sure to follow my orders and work according to our strategy."
"OOOOHH!"
Everyone roared in unison, it felt like I had a little army with me.
The blazing gates greeted us as we stepped out of the Divine Realm. With Surtr and Emerald by my left and right side, Benladann and Miranda behind me, and my children behind them, while the rest of our friends surrounding them, we opened the gates.
Creaaak!
The sound of the old gates opening loudly reverberated, the old blazing ruins trembled. We moved forwards, and as we entered the ruins, a powerful presence almost made our entire bodies froze.
Our surroundings became hotter than ever before. His blazing eyes staring directly into our souls. Sitting over a giant, six-armed Demon, he glared down at us as if we were nothing but insects.
His presence alone put a tremendous pressure over our bodies and souls, by merely being near him, it felt like we were burning.
"Hoh, so you're here… I thought you were going to pussy out after last time beating." He smiled.
There he is.
The bastard…
"Pandemonium." I smiled. "I've been waiting to finally see you again."
"Oh?" He asked. "Is that so? Hahaha! Look at him, acting so bold…"
"I'm going to make sure to finish what I started…" I smiled. "Your lung was tasty, you piece of shit."
"Hah?" His eyes twitched. "You damn fucking lizard!"
