Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1496 Demonic Energy Assimilation

Chapter 1496 Demonic Energy a.s.similation

-----

(Drake's POV)

After finally having defeated the fragment of Pandemonium, and having successfully devoured him and destroyed his Will through Gluttony, the wounds he left on my soul were beginning to recover.

Through the very Demonic Power I gained from eating him…

Once more, I had to go through yet another agonizing and excruciating pain. This time an even deeper agony as it was that of my soul.

My body was already recovering fine, but it felt like I was beginning to melt and turn into ashes at the same time.

"Urgh…! f.u.c.k!"

As I screamed in pain, I tried to take control of this endless source of energy, which continued to grow larger within my soul and body.

Maybe I destroyed Pandemonium's will, but the power I gained out of eating his Lung was enough to make my soul and body burst into pieces.

I didn't mind if it happened to my body, but if it happens to my soul, that'll be game over for me.

And I can't let that happen!

FLAAAs.h.!.+

My Soul, which shone with a golden and blue color, began to shriek and move as the dark red demonic energy started filling all the wounds and holes behind.

It was agonizing because Demonic Energy naturally rejected most other types of energies. And usually, this would end up killing me…

However, I have to simply use the power of Demonic Energy I possess myself!

"Gluttony!"

I called upon the power of Gluttony again, beginning to encompa.s.s the Demonic Energy within it and then fusing it again with Mana, Draconic Energy, Divine Power, and Spiritual Energy.

"Uggghh…!"

And then, I quickly activated the Soul Refining Techniques of the Light Dragons, further enhancing my resistance while making my soul stronger.

"Drake?!"

"Papa!"

My family quickly gathered around me, worried, as I was trying to refine and turn this power into my own.

"I'm fine, I just… Ugh! I need to take this power. If I can't control it and refine it into my soul and body, I'll end up dying…!"

"Let me help you!"

"Hang in there!"

Benladann and Miranda touched my shoulders, suddenly imbuing part of their powers into my own body.

Their Chaotic Energies were also quite dangerous, but they started to encompa.s.s the demonic energy like a mantle, weakening it!

"Papa!"

"Let us help too!"

Benladra and Kate also helped me, imbuing their Divinities into my body. Benladra's Heavenly Light quickly fueled my soul with an immense amount of light power, countering the demonic energies.

Meanwhile, Kate's powers enhanced the system's abilities, helping me utilize it to further take over the demonic energy and control it.

"Ugh…! Almost there…!"

I kept controlling all these powers and energies, the endless dark red sea of demonic energy clashed against my will, attempting to overcome me every time.

However, thanks to my newest Skill, [Dragon King's Unshakable Psyche (SS)], that wasn't going to happen.

[Drake, this power is too much even if you refine it completely, it will eventually slowly destroy your soul!]

[I recommend expelling it from your body until…!]

"No, don't worry, I got this."

I quickly changed the shape of my soul, absorbing Benladra and Kate's Divinities into them, while also fusing thousands of Lesser Spirits.

Meanwhile, Benladann and Miranda's Chaos and Mold encompa.s.sed the demonic energy and kept it restrained.

FLUOOs.h.!.+

"{Divine Soul Forging Arts}: {Dragon Soul's Demon-Sealing Holy Chains}!"

FLAs.h.!.+ FLAs.h.!.+ FLAs.h.!.+ FLAs.h.!.+

Suddenly, thousands of chains emerged, glistening with golden and l.u.s.trous colors, and swiftly wrapping around the endless sea of dark red demonic energy.

Ding!

[You have combined several Divine Soul Forging Arts into the Unique Art: {Dragon Soul's Demon-Sealing Holy Chains}!]

[The Demonic Energy has begun to be suppressed and sealed within your soul!]

[Its power is receding quickly!]

[Your Soul has a.s.similated the leftover energy used to repair your Soul Wounds.]

[The Soul Chains you've created are an extension of your own Soul, by consuming Mana and some Divine Power, it is possible to maintain them indefinitely.]

[The Demonic Energy has been successfully contained!]

[Your Manipulation over Demonic Energy has become greater.]

[As a result of the constant tempering and recovery, your Soul has become larger and tougher.]

[Your body has been strengthened through the Demonic Energy consuming you, Resistance to Demonic Energy and Demon-type Damage has begun to be slowly developed.]

[The Demonic Energy and Soul Ether Stats have been created.]

[You have developed a brand-new Divinity: [Demonic Gluttony (S)]!]

[You have developed a brand-new Auxiliary Divinity: [Holy Chains of Demon Sealing (S)]!]

[You have developed the [Demon (SS)] Elemental Affinity!]

[You have devoured [Pandemonium's Lung], you gained +1.000.000.000 Demonic Energy.]

[The rest of the Demonic Energy is too much for you to take and has been sealed.]

[However, it is possible for you to slowly a.s.similate it and absorb it, as long as your Vessel, the Soul, becomes larger through Soul Cultivation.]

Several System notifications popped up at once. Apparently now I had two new Stas, Soul Ether that showcased the strength, volume, regeneration, and toughness of my Soul, and also Demonic Energy, which is a spendable resource similar to Divine Power!

I didn't think I could get this far, but it seems that this power can be used as an energy, maybe to purchase something else within the System?

"Hahhh…"

I dropped half-dead on the ground, the pain slowly flew away, but I still felt exhausted… My Soul had unexpectedly become incredibly big, but at the same time, I felt completely tired.
