Chapter 772 Venerable Inheritances
-----
After being discouraged over the whole idea of making more Venerables his allies, Drake quickly asked a more obvious and direct question to the fox woman, as he was interested in where he could find more inheritances from the Venerables.
"Where could I find the nearest Inheritance from them? Or anything similar?" Wondered Drake, trying to get more info before waking up if possible.
"Hmmm… Based in where you're standing… I would say there are several Inheritances left by the Frost Queen! You can find them spread near the coasts of Jotunheim, some cities even built around them because they're special dungeons filled with treasures and monster guardians… She created things similar to dungeons by using Dungeon Cores she took from dungeons. She said these things were made to challenge her kin and give them the opportunity to grow stronger and acquire resources. It was part of her "restoration" plan, which took place after she defeated all the Vampires."
"She was really quite the incredible woman to think so far ahead in the future for the people…" Said Drake. "I wish I can get in her good side, having such a strong ally wouldn't be so bad."
"Hmph, so you're excited to make that woman your ally but not me?! A-Am I not enough? I am cute too!" Said the Fox Venerable, suddenly getting jealous that Drake preferred another female venerable than her.
"Well, weren't you called a Demon Venerable?" he sighed.
"That's not because I killed innocent people, the entire world was against me. I only killed those that threatened me and came for my life many times, or for the lives of those dear to me… I might had avenged a couple of friends rather gruesomely… which earned my bad reputation as a cold-blooded killer…" She sighed. "But it's not like the world is black and white, not all the demon Venerables will be necessarily bad people, and not all the goody-two-shoes will necessarily be good people either. Don't let yourself be fooled so easily by titles, Drake, you have to look into the bigger picture and into more detail and depth."
"I see, thanks for your teachings, Venerable-sama." Sighed Drake, as he used some of the mannerism of Japan, which fit Belle's previous life language. "For now, I'll be going… Can I go?"
"You can leave at any time, if you do, you'll quickly wake up…" She said.
"But how come I fell unconscious?" He wondered.
"That's your mind, it wasn't capable of keeping up with all the thousands of thoughts you used to calculate all those new divine spells you came out with. Usually gods take months or years to create new divine spells, but you created them in a single second, putting a lot of burden in your head… Don't overdo it or you'll suffer a headache even worse."
"Eh? So it was just mind fatigue?! I really though I got something worse…" Sighed Drake. "I guess it is not so bad then. Well, I am leaving for now, I miss my daughter the most…"
"Hm, you have a daughter…" Sighed the Fox Venerable. "She's a promising dragon girl. Half dragon and half giant… and with all those inherited powers from you and your wife, plus she got unique skills as a reincarnated person… She's amazing. I am sure she got as much potential as you if not more… Take care of her… Those that would desire your powers might also desire hers, she's a precious resource to these bastards."
"I know that… That's why I'll protect my little girl with everything I have. You don't have to tell me twice." Said Drake, as he quickly wished for it and disappeared from the dream.
Belle stood there in silence, as she rested over the grass of her dream realm. She began to think about the many things she spoke with him. How long has it been since she even spoke this much with somebody? It felt very refreshing to her, it almost made her smile out of happiness. Although she would had also liked to have some sex as well, just talking and getting along was already everything she needed.
"This is the first time a man has resisted my provocations and charm…" She sighed. "After I became a goddess there was no male god that didn't drool to me… Well, there were some monster-like guys out there but those don't count." She thought.
"He's a very interesting young dragon… Is he even a year old?" She wondered. "Well, he's already a god before even becoming a year old dragon, so he's indeed an amazing being… These skills he has… I wonder if they'll create a new Era once he becomes a Venerable. With the powers he has, that might be a possible route…"
"However, there was something weird with his soul, something within it, one of his Unique Skills… was it malfunctioning or something? This is the first time I have ever seen the inside of a soul of someone with so many Unique Skills of this magnitude of power, but I also noticed the one with the "System" name was having some strange problems, spreading around like cancer, and continuously corrupting itself. Perhaps the power of [God] was too much for his [System] to handle? After all, the [System] he has is the pillar of his powers, if something were to get in the way and granted too much power to handle, it would… most like begin to malfunction. I hope he can resolve that problem quickly before things get out of hand…" She thought while sipping some green tea.
She had noticed within Drake's soul that the System Unique Skill was suffering strange malfunctions. And it was indeed the truth, Drake had also experienced them and he saw what was happening to the System's voice, but he had to ignore her as he had to save his family and defeat the annoying Scaled God. However, now that he was going to finally wake up, the Fox Venerable hoped he could resolve that problem, whatever it truly was…
"His powers are definitely strange… He's very unique even amongst unique skill users…"
