Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 515: Considerations

Chapter 515: Considerations

-----

Mikoto had offered a piece of her mind and her opinion and thoughts over the situation, she often didn't speak as much as Yukihime or Vasilisius, but whenever she spoke, it was always something to the point and precise, always making sense to an extent.

It could be said that the dragoness was an introvert, enjoying seeing others converse than initiate? a conversation herself, of course, it was different when it came to her own master, Yukihime, which she always spoke with between the two.

Nonetheless, perhaps since she was alive that she had always been like this, she always had given me the vibes of a silent and intelligent dragoness. I wonder if she could had been able to take a humanoid form in the past…

Her words, however, were right as well, she had said that there was no way for Black, this mysterious idiot related to Greenwood to be as strong as an Immortal.

Why? Very simple, if he were as strong as an immortal, he would had already come here to slay us all as fast as he possibly could, but he clearly chose not to do that. In fact, he chose to stay inside his Dark Shadow Sect while slowly eating negative emotions.

Perhaps he might preserve some of his techniques, but not absolutely everything within them, it probably means that he can most likely bring his powers back through special methods, but they're now nerfed all the way down to whatever realm he is now most likely within the mortal realm.

If I was able to overwhelm him in the dreams, he's most likely not above Rank 5… if he was such a figure, he should had been capable of easily beating the s.h.i.+t out of me without problems, but is inability to do so showed to us that he lacked the divine power of immortals, and was still a mortal with mortal powers, that couldn't properly overwhelm me.

Yes, he did the whole bomb the dreamscape thing, but it took him all his efforts and he took a while to make it up, fooling me in the process, which only brings me with bitter feelings and anger and regret…

Nonetheless, holing myself in this regret won't help in absolutely anything, I require to quickly bring my s.h.i.+t together and stop thinking about how bad I did, but how to improve from now on.

Mikoto's words resonated with everyone present, as we all nodded in affirmation to her hypothesis.

"You're more than right, Mikoto, it is like that… There's no way that he's immortal if in the dreams themselves I was still able to defeat him… And if he's pathetically trying to regain energy and power through dark energies generated from negative power, then it probably means that he has not the same power as before." Said Benladann.

Benladann had also come here, even if she wasn't partic.i.p.ating in the war directly, she was still going through Miranda.

"Yeah, Benladann is right… He's probably weakened, perhaps very weakened. And I bet he's not even at full power from before now that Drake forced him to explode his own Dreamscape! Actually, the entire fight was insightful and helped us at the end, the dreamscape extracting negative energy was destroyed and all of the free energy he was going to use to defeat us is gone, the only thing he can do now is to begin acc.u.mulating again, but it makes take ages to reach the same point as before!" said Miranda.

That was quite right, if he was already gathering energies, it meant that he wasn't even at a decent strength, and required a lot of power to use his special abilities, such as the power to summon shadows, make these mana-eating spiders, and more. And now that we ended destroying his greatest source of this power, or well, forced him to destroy it to escape my grasp, he ended up with little fuel, and might had grown very weakened since then!

This is quite the perfect opportunity to strike, while the b.a.s.t.a.r.d is very weakened, we could beat the c.r.a.p out of him, probably I could gang on him with some of my allies, while the rest go take down the soldiers and other sect disciples.

I fully expect a big war to happen, if they got the power of the shadow summoning, they will probably bring a ma.s.sive army of dark beast made of shadows. To stop these, I will have to ultimately leave the task to others, my most trusted allies and friends… Like we did before, to be honest, nothing too new.

"The power of this old man is mysterious though; he not only can wield darkness but also shadows and… what else? Ah, dreams! Yeah, this is a deadly combination. Unlike Drake, we are not immune to these attacks, or well, we cannot surpa.s.s them as easily as he can… If we are attacked by dream magic… what do we do?" asked Pekora.

She brought something important to the table which I had not realized, perhaps shadow and dark magic was bearable to be intercepted with other elements, such as light, which Pekora could wield using her Beast Spirit, but what about Dreams?

The dream element was very special, it was capable of easily inflicting a deep sleep into someone and submerging their souls into a dreamscape, where they would be attacked in certain ways, sometimes they might be trapped inside dreams and challenges they must complete, each failure means having their souls attacked.

Ultimately, if a weak soul stays inside a dream for too long, it might even die out, completely being consumed by the dream's power. In such a case, there's nothing much that can be done.

To prevent this, they need to evade the dream attacks, obviously.

But is everyone fast enough to always evade?

"There's something telling me that dream magic is more complex… I don't think it can be easily wielded by everyone in that sect… If it is not, I think I can find a way to rescue you if you fight at my side against Black." I said.
