Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 1646 Opening Treasure Chests
-----
I took a look at all my loot, which I placed over the pink colored clouds of the foggy-looking Dream Realm I've been sitting over. The sky was made of twisting, bright colors, and there were only pink colored clouds floating everywhere. This was the usual "normal appearance" of most Dream Realms that weren't modified into looking like something else.
"You sure got a lot of Loot~" System looked at the things.
Right now, I had:
[Dark Phantom Dracolich Weapon Treasure Chest (SSS Grade)] x1 [Dark Phantom Dracolich Armor Treasure Chest (SSS Grade)] x1
[Divine Ability Fusion Marble (SSS Grade)] x7 [Divine Spirit Creation Ticket (SS Grade)] x4
[Divine Ability Evolution Grimoire (SS Grade)] x5
"I got seven Fusion Marbles… I don't think I'll be using all of them, but they sure do look tempting." I smiled. "How many Divine Abilities can I fuse at a time though?"
"Five! But I would recommend combining only two, three at most. Fusing five at a time could create a weird Divine Ability that might possess chaotic, strange properties." She said.
"Hmm, that sounds interesting though!" I said.
"Sigh… Remember that you also will need the Divine Abilities for your Ascendancy Law, so don't waste all of them!" She said.
"Haha, don't worry." I smiled. There are also the Evolution Grimoires, do they Rank Up a Divine Ability for free?"
"It's not just that, it usually just an add-on, but it actually evolves them in a different meaning, transforming them into a much stronger version, which is not related to their Rank." System explained to me. "I would recommend using them on your strongest Divine Abilities! Though, they don't work on Demonic Abilities, the same goes for the Marbles."
"That's a pity, but I understand, they're different powers at the end of the day," I nodded. "Well, for now, let's open the Treasure Chests, they look way too tempting."
"Fufu, I knew you would go for those, you're so predictable…" She laughed.
"I guess you know your husband really well at this point…" I grabbed the chests greedily.
"H-Husband?!" She blushed a bit. "D-Do you consider me your wife then?"
"What else? We love each other, right? We even got a daughter…" I looked at her while squinting my eyes. "Don't tell me you never considered that?"
"I-I mean… Maybe you wouldn't have liked that…" She muttered. "I mean, I am…"
"You might be tied to one of my Unique Skills, but you're still your own person. When we saw Jonathan's memories, we even learned about your origins, perhaps. Maybe you aren't just a skill, maybe you're also a reincarnation of something else, of someone else. You're someone that has helped me, and has loved me, there's nothing wrong with loving you back. I'll make sure that one day you can get your own physical body. And then… We'll have a second child, of course."
"Eep!" She blushed, covering her face. "Y-You perv! To think you want t-to do it with me…"
"For a while now, it's getting harder to resist…" I sighed.
That's why I have to get that Ascendancy Law as quickly as possible! I'm definitely going to give her the night of her life once she can physically manifest!
But for now, let's clear the mind of impure thoughts and move on.
FLASH! FLASH!
Both treasure chests glowed with bright, purple light, releasing phantasmal fog as they opened. Very dramatic, I guess that's why they're "themed" after the phantom dragon.
Ding!
[You have opened the [Dark Phantom Dracolich Weapon Treasure Chest (SSS Grade)]!
[You received the following items: [Dark Phantom Dracolich Abyssal Halberd (SSS Grade)] x1 [Divine Phantom Dragon Blood Essence Elixir (SSS Grade)] x1 [Dark Phantom Dracolich Divine Ability Grimoire (SSS Grade)] x1!]
You have opened the [Dark Phantom Dracolich Armor Treasure Chest (SSS Grade)]!]
[You received the following items: [Dark Phantom Dracolich Black Nether Cuirass (SSS Grade)] x1 [Divine Phantom Dragon Blood Essence Elixir (SSS Grade)] x1 [Dark Phantom Dracolich Divine Ability Grimoire (SSS Grade)] x1!]
"Oh nice!"
The items themselves were all really good, even for a Rank 10 God such as me, the equipment was amazing. The halberd packed a lot of power, and it had unique abilities, and the armor too! They weren't Soul Gear though, but I can equip any physical gear anyways. "Oh, there was more than the equipment inside!" System noticed. "Grimoires and Elixirs?"
"Both seem to carry the essence and power of that Soul Beast." I said. "I'll happily take them."
I decided to drink both Elixirs right away and use the Grimoires without hesitation, the more power the better. The Elixirs had a strangely deep, wine-like flavor, not bad. I drank both bottles in an instant. [You have consumed the [Divine Phantom Dragon Blood Essence Elixir (SSS Grade)] x2!]
[You have absorbed the Divine, Soul, Phantom, Dark, and Nether Essence of the Divine Phantom Dragon!]
[The Energies have been fully absorbed; your Soul has grown even stronger.]
[Your [Soul Ether]: [SSS+] Rank has increased to SSS++ Rank!]
[The Power has been compressed into a Divinity.]
[You acquired the Auxiliary Divinity: [Dark Phantom Dragon Soul (SSS)]!]
[The Divinity surges through your Divinity Aura!]
[You acquired the [Phantom Dragon (Unique) (Awakened)] Bloodline!]
[Your [Death (S)] Magical Affinity has increased to SSS Rank!]
[Your [Phantom (A)] Magical Affinity has increased to SS Rank!]
"There are Phantom Dragon Bloodlines? What in the world?" I muttered. "I don't remember them at all, only Death Dragons officially exist…"
"Perhaps this means you can absorb Dragon Bloodlines that exist outside of the original Divine Dragon Family? Like… those created by Dragon-type Monsters! Somehow, they are recognized as True Divine Dragon Bloodlines." Said System.
"Hoh, that's even more insane than I imagined…" I nodded. "Well, Grimoire Time."
The grimoires, in the other case, floated in midair, releasing phantasmal fog and darkness before their pages flickered, runes emerged, and they exploded into particles of light, fusing into my own body.
[You have used the [Dark Phantom Dracolich Divine Ability Grimoire (SSS Grade)] x2!]
[You learned the Divine Abilities: [Divine Dracolich Phantom Graveyard (SSS)] and [Abyssal Dracolich Umbral Bone Creation (SSS)]!]
"Nice, these two Divine Abilities already sound insanely strong!"
I used to be a pretty decent Phantom Magician back then when I was still a mortal, perhaps it was finally my resurgence of such arts I had mostly forgotten.
