Chapter 214: Weird Names? And Benladann's...
-----
Names in the ice giant tribe where Benladann came from were made by combining the first halves of the two parents' names.
That's why you got weird names like Draugann, Benladann, Benlah, Laddan, and so on. They do sound quite strange when you compare them to names on Earth, but that's just it is done.
Though, quite honestly, I wouldn't really like to name my child like this…
Because what would come out of my name and Benladann's name?
Benladra? I-It doesn't sound good…
Bedra?
Bendr?
…
Yeah, it sounds awful! At least the names of the others sound nice, but our combined names sound quite bad…
"So what would it be then?" wondered Draugann.
"I was thinking on Benladra!" said Benladann.
Geh…
"It doesn't sound good!" said Draugann.
"Right?!" I asked.
"E-Eeeh? T-Then what do you want!" said Benladann while pouting.
"Something cooler or simpler sounding…" I said.
"Hmm… I-I don't know…" sighed Benladann.
"Hm, come on, you don't have to make it so perfect, just take some letters from each name and… I-I don't know…" sighed Draugann.
Sigh…
"Well, that's for the far future anyways, let's leave it for another occasion," I said.
"R-Right… I don't even know if I will ever get pregnant to begin with, Drake is a dragon after all… and I am an Ice Giant, so we are different races…" said Benladann.
"Hmm… well, he can take an ice giant form, right? If that's possible then I am sure that his seed should be capable of- GEH!"
Draugann glanced at my darkened face as my dragon-shaped aura emerged from my body.
"Let's better talk about such things on another occasion, alright, grandma?" I asked.
"R-Right…"
I don't want them to talk about my seed…
"But isn't it strange? You're eating way more than before, girl!" said Draugann.
"Hm? Am I?" Benladann was already on her 34th plate of food, she was devouring our reserves without stopping.
"Indeed, you've eaten more than I do. I am already satiated yet you have continued eating…" I said.
"Eh? I didn't realize… Nom…"
So weird, what is going on with her, why is she eating so much?
I decided to check her status…

…
EH?!
I fell out of the chair as I couldn't believe what I just saw.
How couldn't I detect it before?! But… she didn't even change! She had already reached Upper Stage a lot of time ago but didn't evolve, but now she suddenly got to Peak Stage!
And her stats! Her stats increased a lot… And she… she became a High Draconic Ice Giant… And gained new Abilities. She got Dragon Breath, Dragon Scales, CHAOS MAGIC?!, and Draconic Might.
Okay…
"Benladann, did you just realized you Ranked Up?" I asked.
"Eh? I did?" she asked.
"Indeed and you're- EH?!"
"W-What?"
I didn't saw it before! Her status… Pregnant.
That fast?
I mean, I ma happy that I was able to do it with her but that was too fast! It was just yesterday, and she already got pregnant…
Are my sperms incredibly fast? Why didn't they calmed down a bit? Are they doing a speed run or something?!
"You just Ranked Up to Peak Stage, evolved into a High Draconic Ice Giant, and you also got the ability of Dragon Breath, Dragon Scales, Draconic Might, and Chaos Magic- Oh… And you're pregnant. I guess this explains why you're eating so much, the baby, which must be as small as a cell, is somehow asking for a lot of energy."
"P-P-Pregnant?!"
Benladann also fell unconscious, but she remained stable and continued eating.
"That fast?! And I guess it worked!" said Draugann.
"It indeed did… It worked…" I said.
Haha… I am going to be a father already?
T-That was quick.
But I can't help but… feel fuzzy all over…
This is… it feels strange. I just feel really… happy!
"This is very sudden but… We are going to have a child already!" I said.
"Fweeehh? But we just did it yesterday!" said Benladann.
"I-I know… But it just happened fast, I suppose…" I sighed.
"Uwah, this is more than I can take!" said Benladann, getting all stressed out.
"And you even got some new abilities I just told you," I said.
"I-I see… Like this?"
Benladann showed me her arms as they suddenly grew scales over them… her claws also got sharp like those of a reptile.
Wow…
"Fooohh…"
And when she released some wind from her mouth, an icy gale came out…
"I am really part dragon now! Woah!" said Benladann with a happy smile.
"I-Indeed! Does this means that if you do it with Drake you become half-dragon?!" asked Draugann.
"Shut up for once!" I roared.
"Uagh! Okay, don't kill me though!" cried Draugann.
"Everything is a mess…" I sighed.
"I even got new magic? So weird! Let's see… Chaos, chaos, chaos!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, a dark sphere of spiraling darkness coated by purple and red colors emerged before Benladann's hands.
"Huh?"
The sphere flew through the air and crashed over the wall!
BOOOMMM!!!
A lot of smoke came out, and Fuyu complained.
"Oi! That really hurt now…"

Author Note:
Hey Guys! I hope you're enjoying the story, I was wondering which names could we give to Drake and Benladann's child, so I was wondering if you could suggest names for them! Anything goes, girl or boy (I am sure that they might have more than one along the line, after all, Drake must spread his ice dragon bloodline!)
