Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 1570 The Limits Of Bloodlines & A Baby On The Way!

-----

When Kate was conceived I had yet to acquire a Titan Bloodline, Benladra awakened hers the same way Benladann did, by drinking a special elixir given to us inside of Skadi's Trial. But Kate didn't get to drink it back then, she wasn't given one to begin with. There isn't any of such elixir right now, and when I tried to ask the Ice Queen for it, she said she didn't have any more. And even if she did, that she wasn't going to give it away.

I tried to negotiate something with her, but she wouldn't change her mind, saying that it was going to be for her own family and disciples, who were waiting for her revival. I do remember meeting some of them in that Court where many Nation Rulers of Jotunheim gathered. They were already Titans though, so what was she even talking about? Are there even more people hiding somewhere waiting for her? Well, I should have expected as much from someone like her, I guess.

At the end, the only option was to try out something similar to what I do when I share my blood and blessing with others. They usually gain some minor dragon bloodline powers. Like gaining the ability to temporarily grow scales, or they get wings and a tail. Or dragon eyes, amongst other of my features. Tisha is one of the biggest examples of this "Minor Dragon Bloodline Power", but also Yuki that evolved to gain dragon scales, claws, horns, and a long tail.

However, when giving it to my children, nothing happens. Kate already drank a concentrated blood potion, and she didn't get absolutely anything out of it! Was it because she was already my daughter?! And then, Benladann and Benladra offered their blood. And nothing either.

At the end, we had to just give up, looks like Kate cannot get the Ice Titan Bloodline so easily. She wasn't compatible with it anyways. It is slightly sad, but she's already a powerful dragon, and a spirit.

"Muh, not fair…" She seemed slightly sad. "I wanted to be Ice Titan…"

"Well, you can't just have everything in life, honey." The System tried to comfort her.

"I think my kid won't be an Ice Titan either, because I think I got pregnant before he Awakened it, no?" Wondered Miranda.

"We'll have to see once they're born." I said.

"Anyways, Kate, there's still many ways of growing stronger." The System said. "One of them is by continuously practicing your magic and abilities, and to continue cultivating your Spirit and Draconic Energies! You've got lots of unlocked potential."

"Okay… I'll do my best, mama." Kate smiled cutely as she nodded obediently.

We spent the rest of the day idling about, mostly cultivating and chatting. I enjoyed the sunlight while cultivating and comprehending more of the Azure Ice Essence that was now coursing through my soul, a special power that Ice Titans can wield. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝓵.𝓬𝒐𝒎

There's no such thing as a "Titan Energy" like Dragons with their Draconic Energy. Titans possess special types of modified Divine Power which are transformed through their Bloodlines and Souls. For Ice Titans, that's the Azure Ice Essence, which is what is helping me further comprehend the element of ice.

While doing this job, I also instructed Kate and Benladra on their Draconic Energy Cultivation. Although they were able to easily wield this power when they were doing what they liked doing. Such as fighting for Benladra and making mechs for Kate, that wasn't near as enough. They needed to learn to manipulate this energy even outside of such exercises.

"Hmmm… T-There!" Benladra released her Draconic Aura, suddenly shaping itself into a dozen draconic heads made of light. "Oooh!"

"Wow, well done!" I clapped. "You're getting the hang of it, Benladra!"

"Papa, papa!" Kate called for me, as I looked at her side.

"Look!" She manipulated her Draconic Aura, transforming it into several long, silver-colored spears and firing them away.

The spears impacted a nearby forest, destroying half the trees!

"I did it." She said proudly.

"Eh?! She's better than me already!" Benladra gasped. "I-I can't lose against my little sister! I won't!"

Benladra got suddenly really motivated to surpass Kate, and continued practicing. Her Draconic Aura changing shapes wildly, from dragon heads to swords of light.

Kate also wanted to show off to her sister, to make her feel more motivated, or maybe because she liked being praised. Her silver spears changed into arrows, and then into giant draconic claws.

"They're getting better at it already!" Benladann said.

"They should be able to use some of the Draconic Arts without problems now." I nodded.

"It only took like two months… Well, we still have one month and like three more weeks left?" Wondered Miranda. "Can we do everything we have to do in this time?"

"We'll have to." I said. "But don't worry, I'll delay everything until the child is born." I caressed her belly, kissing her neck. She was still sitting over my legs even now.

"Hmm… Y-You better do." She pouted adorably. Miranda slowly approached her lips towards mine and we kissed for a little while. I couldn't get enough of her little kisses. "Do you love me?"

"I do." I nodded, cuddling with her. "Why do you ask this so much?"

"W-Why not?! I can ask whatever I want!" She said, crossing her arms.

"Hahaha, she's so cute when she gets like that." Benladann giggled, she also cuddled with us, hugging both me and Miranda while we were resting over the grasslands. She kissed my cheeks and I gave her many more kisses as well.

"Isn't she? I can't believe how much we've tamed her. Remember when she was a very glob of darkness?" I laughed.

"H-Hey! Don't remind me of that!" Miranda got slightly angry. "And technically, I'm still that… Well, after my evolution I've also become a Demonic Spirit. Huh. I wonder how the baby will be affected based on that."

"It'll surely be rather unique." I nodded, caressing her long black hair, kissing her neck. She shyly gave me a few more kisses with her little lips.

We continued doing corny stuff until the sunset arrived.

"Geez, you two really like kissing…" Miranda pretended to not have been the one doing it the most. "Now, let's go eat dinner, I'm starving- Ah."

However, before we could even move, I felt something wet over my legs.

"Miranda?"

"S-Shit, I think it's coming… The baby."

"Oh…"

We fell into silence for a few seconds before we erupted into action. I swiftly grabbed Miranda like a princess and decided to run inside the castle.

"I'll bring her to the infirmary! Go fetch Pekora and any other healer you can find!" I said.

"Gotcha!" Benladann nodded, instantly rushing away.

Benladra and Kate were confused as they saw me running inside the castle.

"Hahh… F-Fuck… Ugh… Ooohh…" Miranda was already beginning to hyperventilate, gasping for air while feeling a lot of pain. "It's coming, it's really- Agh, this rascal's so big!"

"Papa what's wrong?!" Benladra cried.

"Baby coming?" Kate asked.

"Yes, baby coming! Come, Benladra, help me out with your healing magic! Can you make the attribute-less healing magic that won't hurt Miranda?" I asked her.

"Yes I can!" Benladra nodded. "With sis help it's possible."

"I'll help." Kate nodded.

"Then please conjure some pain-lessening spells. I'm already conjuring a few other things." I carried her to the infirmary, where I gently placed Miranda over a big bed.

And her delivery began.
