Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 427: The Lunar Dragons Of The Winter Lotus Sect

Chapter 427: The Lunar Dragons Of The Winter Lotus Sect

-----

I began to ponder the strength that this dragon could have, he was around Rank 4, but he was obviously way weaker than me, mostly because he said he was a "hatchling" even at 20 years of age. Perhaps he needs some special materials to evolve into something stronger, but he had yet to completely tap into his true potential, after all he got the blood of Lunar Dragons within him.

I was grateful to him because he helped Miranda out, he knew she was the weakest and required some a.s.sistance, so I am glad he helped her out and the two did some fine team work to defeat the enemy they were fighting relentlessly.

Tsukuyomi began to eat the dumplings, finding them rather tasty, just as I had expected, of course. This dragon had proven himself to be a formidable fighter so I am going to train him later on so he can bloom into a powerful fighter. Dragons are overpowered after all, so I have to help a fellow brother. This is also the first time I meet a true dragon, so I feel a bit hyped to see where he can reach in terms of strength and magic.

I sat near him as Mikohime looked at the two of us.

"He says you're the most important thing to him." I said to her.

"Uwah… R-Really?" asked Mikohime while blus.h.i.+ng.

"Groar…" the dragon roared softly, as Mikohime jumped over its head and hugged it, kissing him.

"Y-You're also very important to me…" she said.

The two seemed to have a very close relations.h.i.+p, probably like family.

"So how did you even find him?" I asked her. Benladann, Miranda, and the rest were close by so they were attentively hearing everything.

"I found him in the inheritance of this sect's family. The Winter Lotus Family… My Ancestor, the founder of this sect was said to have tamed a strong female Lunar Dragon, which later on gave birth to many eggs. In the past, a new Sect Master would be chosen by an Egg where a dragon would hatch and become their ally… this egg count had been slowly diminis.h.i.+ng as the new generations went by without any female being born, the dragons dying of old age, escaping, or dying in the battlefield alongside my ancestors… His egg in specific was the smallest and it was the last one, which had not hatched for hundreds of years." Said Mikohime.

"Hundreds of years without hatching? Now that's a slacker." Said Miranda.

"I can't believe you would take so long to hatch!" said Benladann.

"Very lazy…" said Yuki.

"Groar!"

The dragon roared angrily at their response, he said this wasn't part of his choice.

"He said this wasn't his choice, he simply couldn't hatch until someone "right" were to appear… And this was her, right?" I asked him.

He seemed to nod.

"Indeed, when I was very little and lonely, he hatched and since then he had been at my side, slowly growing and evolve with me and helping me get through problems… Alongside my five other spirits too, we had been a team by ourselves." Said Mikohime.

"Y-You have five spirits?! Now that's talented… And I thought I was great… There's always a bigger fish." Sighed Pekora.

"Well yeah, she's very talented… is this due to her family?" asked Tisha.

"Indeed. The Winter Lotus Family is a special family of ice giants… We descend from our old ancestor, Lord Winter Lotus, a man that was said to come from another world. He was born like our family's characteristics. The first of his kind. It is said that his appearance was due to special Unique Skills that shaped him into this compact form and made him into a new race of ice giants… We call ourselves the Winter Lotus Family of ice giants." Said Mikohime.

I see! I was right then! I knew there was something going on with her ancestor. So the Ancestor of her family was such a man? He was a Reincarnated person with Unique Skills… did his unique skill made him into a smaller Ice Giant? I can't really find any sort of reason for it though, what kind of Skill would shape him that way? It would be weird.

Anyways, they also seem to have amazing talent and magic power, so I would guess they somehow got some type of power that lets them have innate special abilities, that tattoo in the shape of a lotus seems suspicious.

"I see… those peculiar names you guys use…" said Benladann.

"Oh! Yeah, they don't sound like normal names, right? Well, our family has names that are said to be "j.a.panese" our ancestor said that he came from a world named j.a.pan or something… and he named himself and his family with such names, which ended being pa.s.sed down through the generations…" said Mikohime.

So that's it! He was j.a.panese, that's why he just called all his children with such names and the descendants simply used the words he taught them to make new names?! I guess he was really a strong j.a.panese nationalist or something to simply not accept this new world's society and words.

Also this must be the reason why he made the entire sect end up being shaped as old j.a.panese fortresses and stuff… well, the design and all really screams j.a.panese to me, but well, he could do whatever he wanted anyways.

Nonetheless, this still doesn't resolve some of my doubts… however, I can a.s.sume that he used his amazing unique skills to capture and tame a Lunar Dragon and then somehow tie the offspring she had as eggs into the bloodline of his descendants… somehow.

Is that even possible? I don't really know… Wait, maybe there is a reason, perhaps every Winter Lotus Family member has some kind of dragon blood on them?

I had considered that the Winter Lotus Family could have some kind of dragon blood on them giving them the power to automatically tame the lunar dragon, but showing how there were many that Tsukuyomi didn't choose, it might just end up being a thing of preference.

But I asked to him directly through telepathy…
