Chapter 1587 Time To Gather Soul Gear Materials
-----
As I spent time with Surtr, Emerald, and Rakasha working on processing Tiamat's Scale into something usable, which was actually a Doppelganger of myself, a second body directly connected to my soul, I was, at the same time, entering the Draconic Records with my soul. Although processing Tiamat Scale was important, I also needed to hunt down the Divine Soul Beasts that roam these Dragon Realms to create more Soul Gear and prepare myself to Rank Up my Demon King Seed once more.
I needed as much power to fight against Pandemonium. And although my body could regenerate endlessly, my soul cannot. I need to further strengthen it, and Soul Gear is also an option I cannot miss anymore. Aside from that, cultivating my Demonic Physique and my Demonic Abilities will come to a halt if I cannot continue Ranking Up. And I need the power of Soul Gear to beat the progressively stronger Gluttony that will constantly fight me for the control of my body. So naturally, I was coming here. Though, I wasn't coming alone. Accompanying were my kids and Benladann and Miranda, who also acquired the ability to craft Soul Gear once they awakened the Ice Titan Bloodline. Apparently only when you awaken Titan Bloodlines can you create and equip Soul Geart, it is an Ability completely reliant in the Bloodline itself, the Titan's own specialty that gives them an edge over Dragons.
Miranda inherited the same ability as Benladann of being an Ice Titan because their souls are fused into one. Although she wasn't there when it happened, both will get the benefit of equipped Soul Gears. And technically, Miranda could appear in the Ice Titan Realm too.
As for Kate and Drakda, I don't know. Kate certainly can't become an Ice Titan, we asked the Ice Queen already, sadly. However, she has been learning a lot of Divine Spirit Magic, and has figured out her innate talent of controlling Divine Spiritual Essence, which might help her learn new magic and abilities.
As of Drakda, he's a wild card. If he's son of Miranda, who is catalogued as an Ice Titan because her soul is merged with Benladann, he could technically have qualifications to inherit and awaken the bloodline too, right? But I don't really know, he might not be.
Well, he's so young and clueless about everything right now that its better to leave the boy alone. He will get to understand and begin his cultivation once he grows up and forms a stronger sense of self. As of right now, he's still a cute little dragon pup that only things about playing, chasing little critters in the farm, and eating meat.
"And we're here, this must be your first time coming here, Drakda… Wait, he can enter without issues unlike Kate and Benladra?!" I asked, as I noticed Drakda's form… was the same as before. "Wait, what?"
"It seems he might be a unique child…" Miranda said, she was already on her giant, slender chaotic dragoness form.
"It is indeed very incredible…" Benladann scratched her scaled chin, she was on her bulkier, taller chaos dragon queen form, which had made her like twice as big and with a floating crown of chaos above her head.
"Why is he staying on his Dragonoid form though? And he can enter even in that form?!" Benladra asked, already on her fluffy and bright dragon form.
"Hmm, weird." Kate nodded, she was already on her metallic and robotic dragon form. She resembled a draconic mech, yet her body was slender and not stiff.
"Drakda, my son, can't you transform?" I asked him.
"GRAAH!" Drakda gave a loud and cute roar, rising his tiny claws. "Raarrr!"
"Awww…" We all felt completely touched by his cute attempts at sounding like us. "Anyways, let's just ask my parents first then."
We moved to the depths of the Ice Dragon's Realm, finally reaching the area where most Ice Dragon Souls congregate. They greeted us happily, curious about the tiny little creature Miranda carried over the palm of her giant hand.
"Oh! Drake family is here again."
"Hello young King!"
"Your family looks stronger than before."
"Huh? Who's that little thing they're carrying?"
"Wait, that's another dragon! How come it is shaped like that?"
"How odd…"
They were starting to stare at Drakda a bit too much, and it wasn't making me really happy they were calling my son "odd", I gave them a stare back at them and they shut up, once we finally reached my mother and my father, who were both inside a huge cave system within the Frost Dragon Mountains.
"My son, you're back! I've sensed the news, a new child! Is this him? So… small." My mother gasped. "How come it can enter without his true dragon form?"
"I am in awe too, Benladra and Kate were unable to enter until they achieved it, yet Drakda could without issues." I said while wondering the same thing. "And yeah, hello."
"Grandma! Grandpa!" Benladra and Kate flew to greet them both, hugging their grandparents. They loved them a lot because they always spoiled them.
"Hello dears. It seems your little brother might have a small issue." Giggled my mother. "But nothing we cannot solve."
"I guess you could call it his innate ability. Drakda is even stronger than your daughters when they were born." My father explained. "So strong his dragon bloodline's potency is enough for him to enter in any shape, without requiring to be a dragon form."
"Wait, really?!" Miranda gasped. "Wow…"
"Of course, your daughters are still stronger after having grown so much, but Drakda has outstanding potential." My mother nodded. "Let's see… This should solve the issue."
She extended her long, icy claw towards Drakda and gently touched his tiny forehead.
FLASH!
Divine Draconic Energy of the highest purity entered Drakda's body and then coursed through his body. Whatever was "stuck" within his Draconic Meridians was quickly unsealed, as a tremendous and powerful Aura of Draconic Energy, Chaos, Blood, Darkness, Spirit, and Ice surged almost endlessly.
RUMBLE!
With an explosion of black and red light, Drakda quickly transformed, becoming several times larger than before!
"ROOAAR!"
And he gave a mighty roar!
