Chapter 603 - An Overly Sensitive Girl
-----
[Day 227]
Due to Benladra's overly sensitiveness, we have to be extra careful with how we handle this girl, especially with stuff that might scare her off and surprise her, that's when she begins crying the most… Her growth might be slightly accelerated, but she's still has a similar growth to ice giants and is not growing insanely fast. So we'll have her as a baby for a long time.
I have gotten used moderately fast to her antics by now, but there is always something new to discover with a baby. Being a father is something complicated that cannot be skipped, it is an important part of my life, and I must raise my little princess as good as I can possibly do so.
Especially knowing that she used to be somebody else in her past life with a similar mentality makes me think that she could had died as a toddler. I always end up remembering that even when I really shouldn't… But it is just something that always stays lingering inside of my mind.
Well, in the sides, I've been also working on my own projects and stuff. Since I got the idea of making more beings like Fuyu, with a piece of my soul so they can obey me and not go berserk, that I've been thinking in what exactly I should make.
Our forces are pretty strong, with Fuyu and the magic cannons alone we can blast an entire sect if we wanted to, although we still had to engage in combat with the Vampires that flew above the magic cannons, the power of our nation is very big, we could blast other nations if we wanted from the very skies, while covering ourselves in illusion magic and other skills to never be found out.
This is actually broken, I think I've already reached somewhere close to end game with this, the entire conflict against the Dark Shadow Sect was reduced into not something as big as I would had imagined due to this… I've made something grotesquely powerful, and I feel like I now hold a greater power than I should had ever hold.
…Or not? Well, I don't particularly care, to be honest, I am quite happy with what I got as of now, and I kind of want to continue growing stronger, nonetheless. Also, Fuyu said that using the cannons put a strain on her, so she wants to rest for several days since then, it had been a month by then I think, well, almost, and she's still quite tired, so we cannot really force her.
I am trying to continue reinforcing her and upgrading her, but a cooldown of a month and a half or more is necessary for her to calm down and slowly get back together. The strain is put all across her body, which is no longer just materials, after she evolved, all these materials fuse together into a complicated structure, if everything falls apart, it will be difficult to reconstruct her, so I just let her rest instead.
And anyways, going back to the previous topic, the entities made of Ice! I had considered it for a while, making another floating fortress seems overly complicated, and I doubt there will be a similar one to Fuyu, as she evolved and developed unique abilities of her own, there's no confirmation saying that the others I make will have the same amazing abilities than her, right?
So for now I was thinking in completely new models, just copying Fuyu won't do. I had thought more in our aerial battles, not everyone can fly, and even if I use spells on them to allow them to fly, not everyone can fly properly! This is why I had thought about special ones that could allow in aerial battles, maybe ice golems with the ability to transform into airplanes or something else?
Hmm… well, there has been something always on my mind, mechs. I wonder if I can make mechs with the special ice I can create… It should be theoretically possible, I believe.
But it would be quite complicated, and it is better to just make golems that are highly movable with the shape of my favorite mechs instead… Well, I will keep trying both things using the clones.
Anyways, looking back at my status, it bores me, I have barely increased any point in any stat since I ate Black and the Mana Core the Dark Shadow Sect Master had, I had grown outside of wanting more Mana Cores as whenever I eat some, nothing happens, not even Rank 4 help in that regard.
I believe I have hit a hard progression wall and the only way to progress past this point is by absorbing an insane amount of power, which I don't really particularly have at my disposal.
Maybe if I could find a new Dungeon, a big, gigantic one where I can find powerful Rank 4 Monsters or even Rank 5 monsters… That would be so sweet…
But for now, that's that. At the very least, I must concentrate into strengthening myself in other aspects as well, learning more magic spells is a good one, learning how to use spells and more, and how to activate them, and how to merge the elements together, all of that wraps up into strengthening my own capabilities, magic is everything in this world after all, quite sadly so.
But I still got Skills I can level up too, so I am practicing skills and making them stronger. Mostly the main Skills, the other ones I get by eating… are most of the time just supplementary, but the main ones I've had since I was a dragon baby are the best ones, I can continue strengthening those for even greater results, after all they had awakened several times already, and are formidable strong Skills by themselves.
I will also practice more Cooking Magic, and all the other magics, although they're mostly production based, I believe I can make up something out of them…
