So many Skills… I have to fuse them around sometime shortly.
Oh, my stats are looking pretty fine, my mana has gotten up to 50k! And due to its regeneration, that's an insane number by itself.
The other stats are all doing pretty fine, but I believe I might hit a progression wall soon. After all, I need something pretty big to get to the next stage of Rank 3 Mana Core Cultivation…
At the very least my second mana core is doing good, it is about to reach peak stage.
Anyways, I did this all behind Benladann, as I told them to get back into Fuyu before I was left assessing the corpses. I guess they know I was going to eat some anyway.
After that, I quickly decided to activate the Body Transformation Skill,
By putting my thought into it, my mind emerges in what I call an "appearance selection mode".
In this place, I can pick up the appearances of the living beings I've eaten. There are all the monsters here and even the slimes… Yeah, I could turn into a slime- But this is not the right novel, so let's not. And no, it is not as overpowered as you think, being a slime doesn't mean being able to shapeshift into anything, I still require eating it.
Anyways, I found the Ice Giant "models" into it, and just as I expected, there were all the bandits I just ate.
Ugly… even in my previous life I was more handsome than these orc-faced guys.
I am sure there are handsome ice giants, we can see that in the kids and also in the male slaves we just rescued, but I can't eat these people.
Wait… I wonder if…
"System, can I take my previous life appearance? At least the face or body type?" I asked.
<Answer: Yes, by using the accumulated data within your memories, it should be possible, however, to convert into a human you require to eat one. But you can convert yourself into an ice giant version of your past life appearance, as you've consumed ice giants already>
"Perfect, let's just do that then! No, wait, can we also add some dragon parts? Like some scales around the hands and shoulders… wings behind the back and a tail… and horns?" I said.
<Answer: Yes, it is possible to modify it.>
"Excellent, let's do that…!"
FLASH!
Right after that, I quickly began to shapeshift… my body mass began to shape as I didn't lose any size though because I was already at three-meter, which was my body size limit as a dragon but also the general size that ice giants had.
My body quickly gained a humanoid form, and oh man, it felt so light… How long has it been? Over three months since I got into this world… and finally…
Finally! I can get to use a humanoid form!
I created an ice mirror and watched at my own reflection. A tall and mildly slender ice giant man, with pale blue skin and dark blue scales growing over my shoulders, hands, part of my chest, thighs, and foot. There were also sharp claws instead of nails, and two large wings coming from over my shoulders. There is also a long and sharp tail, resembling a spear.
Additionally, my face just looks like- Eh? I looked way handsome than I remember myself! I look like… a typical cultivation novel protagonist… No way… Maybe the dragon bloodline makes you handsome?
I have long silvery-white hair that reaches below my shoulders, and two large horns made of crystals growing from my forehead.
Damn, look at mister handsome over there…
Ah, I don't have clothes though…
But this is enough, I will go back to my dragon form, for now, I don't want to surprise everyone as I walk inside as a naked ice giant dragon. I will find the right moment to introduce this form later.
