Chapter 180: Ice Golems and Snow Beasts
-----
After torturing the bastard until I couldn't find any other way and then eating him in the most gruesome way possible, I decided to calm down and do whatever I could now…
I think I scared Benladann a bit… But I was just furious over it.
I am not the type of person who is into moral high grounds and stuff like that, but to be honest, when I find something awful, I just get angry.
And as a Dragon, that anger is multiplied several times, so I end up going nuts.
Maybe another person would be completely okay with others being violated to death, but not me.
I might be many things, but I am sure as hell I am not a scumbag, so due to that, I got a bit angry…
Ding!
[Tough Earth Mana-Infused Muscles: Level 1]
[Tyranny of the Damned: Level 1]
[Gray Steel Alloy Skin Reinforcement: Level 1]
[Endless Libido: Level 1]
…
I got four Skills out of eating this scumbag… And they're pretty fine.
Aside from the last one.
This makes me both disgusted and angry… So this bastard even had such a Skill.
Ugh, I shouldn't have eaten him I think I might have indigestion later.
Well, not really, I can't possibly suffer from indigestion.
But still, this is awful and disgusting. I guess it is the karma of over-torturing him.
"Drake, there are some alive…!"
"Let's heal them,"
With Benladann's assistance, we slowly healed the women that were in this room who were still alive, and I also destroyed their slave collars. However, even without them, they seemed dead inside.
Sigh…
The ones that had died were still here.
Although Benladann could not see them…
They were all here.
They seemed to have become happy when I slaughtered and ate the soul of this guy, and they seemed to be floating around me, thanking me.
But it is very sad to see their corpses thrown around like that, while their souls are here.
I suppose this is what it means to have Death Magic, I become more and more detached from life, as death and life begin to slowly have a very little difference in merely a state of matter and strength.
These souls, for some reason, don't want to go away.
"Benladann, the souls of the women that died here… they're all here. They seem thankful for what I did… Are you okay with it if I use them to make Undead to help us out move the people here?" I asked. I didn't want to upset Benladann by using the tormented souls of these people.
"IS that so… Yeah, I am okay with that… If they really want to help, it is fine… You don't have to ask me this, I am not someone that gives you orders…" sighed Benladann.
"Sorry, it's just that… I didn't want to disturb you," I sighed.
Benladann smiled as she caressed my face.
"Don't worry… I know that these are your powers, if you finally found souls that are willing to help, that's better, isn't it? We can give them a better life than they ever had before all of this, right?" she asked.
"You're right…" I said.
"Though, using their bodies… as ruined as they are…" sighed Benladann.
"They agree, it would be better to bring them in some other form, their corpses will be buried by us later…" I said as I froze all the corpses for the moment, so they wouldn't rot.
"I have been thinking on, why don't you make something like Snowmen? Oh! Maybe Ice Golems or something?" asked Benladann.
The several girls floating around me seemed to be fine with that, they seemed to want new bodies that didn't exactly resemble the previous ones. In fact, they preferred if their new bodies were not even flesh anymore, something completely alien from their former selves, to feel renewed…
"I was always thinking about that, and they seem to agree with it, so let's just do that," I said.
I quickly used my Winter Magic to manipulate Ice, alongside Ice Smith and created several new bodies. They resembled large and thin pieces of crystal ice, barely reminiscent of human body shapes, with some curves here and there to make them slimmer and more flexible. I called these Ice Mannequins!
If they were to become giant and burly ice golems, it would be hard for them to maneuver or even walk around properly, and we don't like slow slackers around here, so these slim and very lightweight bodies seemed quite perfect for the moment.
Later on, we could give them heavy armor if they wanted to fight, or I could modify their bodies some more.
Additionally, there were a few that didn't want the Ice Mannequin, so I created Snow Beasts, which were like Snowmen but in the mild shape of an animal.
After the preparations were ready, I slowly started to put each soul inside their new vessels, it wasn't hard at all, and all of them happily jumped into their new bodies.
After some little more mana and the addition of a Mana Core from monsters in each vessel to act as the core of their souls, each new ally began to wake up.
The sharp and thin Ice Mannequin moved around, their sharp spear-like feet clacked over the floor, while the big Snow Beasts seemed happy with their big snow bodies.
Each girl had their own name, but there wasn't much time for introductions, we had to quickly get out of here.
I quickly took out a large Ice Carriage I had in my Inventory and began to put the unconscious girls there, while putting the corpses I froze inside my Inventory.
After that, we plundered the entire building, stole anything of value, which ended giving us a fortune in Mana Stones and all sorts of items, and then we escaped with all the slaves with us, who were thankfully awake and willing to cooperate.
Through the stealth of the night, we reached back to Fuyu with dozens of new people… Thankfully, we had been upgrading Fuyu intensively, so she was now even more immense. And had gained a new Ability named Space Expansion after upgrading her a lot, which increased her internal space way more than it looked on the outside…
With that done, we decided to rest for a bit…
