Chapter 1544 The Chaos Dragon Realm
As we explored the place to see what could be found here, Benladann and Miranda felt a strange connection to it, which intensified as they explored these lands. Eventually, little crimson and purple threads came out of their bellies, connecting with the core of the Chaos Dragon Realm, and then disappeared. It happened so quickly I think only the three of us noticed it.
However, when it did, we felt such powerful presences coming from these threads that we felt slightly intimidated. Even I had to step back a bit. I thought another fragment of Ragnar?k had appeared out of nowhere. But it was all coming out of their bellies.
It meant only one thing, that those were our child that had made a connection with the Chaos Dragon Realm! To think the Auras of unborn children would scare me this much. It probably means they're incredibly strong. Like it happened with Kate, they both might be born as Divine Dragons right away.
Benladra was the only one that was born as a Mortal Dragon, but she grew into a Divine Dragon so quickly it almost didn't feel like she was even one to begin with.
"W-Was that really…?" Benladann asked.
"Yeah, I think so…" Miranda patted her big belly. "Calm down, you're going to get out pretty soon. No need to scare us like that."
"I guess they're eager to see the world outside." I laughed. "Anyways, do you feel any new powers? My mom and my grandmother told me that they can not only shape the Realms but draw powers from it to cultivate their Souls. Can you do that too?"
"Hmm…"
"Hmm!"
Both of them held hands, harnessing and combining their powers and souls together, as a chaotic aura surged from them and then spread down across the entire Realm. Suddenly, the energies rose back, rising and branching like the branches of a tree, and connecting to their souls again.
A flow of power was slowly enhancing their souls and making them grow even stronger than they already were. Was this one of Tiamat's intentions? To make her daughter's souls stronger? But most of them are dead, right? So why… Unless she has plans with them. Maybe to revive them? Huh.
FLAAASH!
"It works… Our souls feel, nice." Benladann sighed. "It is quite soothing, is it not?"
"Yeah, like… Our Soul is already so strong but, it feels like it's finally being attuned to our dragon powers." Miranda nodded, feeling just as relaxed. "This feels nice. We should sit down here for a while I think."
"If we let the energy flow and constantly wash over our souls…" Miranda concentrated. "Oh yeah, I like this. It is like… giving me much more energy and stamina to work with?"
One of their weaknesses is that if they overuse their chaos magic, they begin wearing down and their souls or bodies become increasingly more exhausted. But if they can further refine their special souls like this, that weakness might be alleviated a lot.
"I suppose it would be better for you to spend half a day in here, resting and cultivating your souls." I said. "How about it?"
"I guess? Sure." Benladann nodded.
"But what about the girls?" Asked Kate.
"Don't worry, I can take care of them in the meantime. I am not alone either, I've got the System to help, right?" I asked her, she was by my side.
"Oh yes, of course." She nodded.
After discovering that, both of them discovered yet another ability or benefit of this place. The monsters hunted here were alive after all, living beings, divine beasts. Therefore, when we hunted these chaotic chimeras and chaotic draconic monsters, we were rewarded with their corpses.
They were full of chaos and rich resources. Their divine cores were also very high quality. Although there were a few in here, more would continue to pop up over time, something that didn't happen inside of their Chaotic Realm.
And once I prepared a dish using these monsters' meat, which looked rather terrific even as hard as I tried to make it look appetizing, both of them experienced some growth. As if their total power of the Chaos Element had increased by a small percentage.
"It slightly feels like when we absorb a Chaos Spirit or a Ragnar?k Fragment!" Miranda said.
"Yes, but very limited. However, if we stack these meals over time… We could grow a lot." Benladann gasped.
"Hmm, it looks weird, but I don't mind it!" Benladra was also enjoying a giant completely black colored steak of chaotic chimera meat.
FLASH!
And her aura changed slightly, from golden and white to black and gray, only for a few seconds before returning back to normal. She looked slightly confused. Looking around herself and the continuing to eat.
"Was that…?!" Benladann raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm fairly sure…" I nodded. "Benladra, are you aware you have an affinity with Chaos?"
"Huh?" Benladra tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean, papa?"
She's completely clueless about it!
"So she's also a Chaos Dragon?" Miranda gasped. "Wow! Nice! So we are not the only ones then!"
"Chaos Dragon? Me? But I thought I was light dragon!" Benladra was confused. "But that's cool too!"
"Papa am I chaos dragon too?" Kate asked me with puppy eyes.
"Hahaha, no, you're not Benladann nor Miranda's daughter. And I don't have a chaos dragon bloodline to have inherited you, sorry." I sighed. "But you're already plenty special, Kate."
"Really mama?" She asked the System.
"Of course dear." She nodded, as she patted our daughter's giant draconic head.
"S-So if you're a Chaos Dragon, then why haven't you used those powers then, my granddaughter?" Nifl asked Benladra.
"Dunno…" Said Benladra, shrugging. "I never knew I had them! I always use Heaven Magic and Star Magic… Maybe that's my latent potential!"
"She hasn't been fully recognized as a Chaos Dragon yet." Said Svartalf. "I can notice she has yet to attune to this Realm… Hmm, she might need a lot of training before she can awaken that Chaos Dragon side of her. You'll need to feed her more of that food, and intensively train her, you two." She glanced at my wives.
"Sure, why not?" Benladann laughed. "I was already planning to teach you how to use your special mold."
"Yeah, sure! Stay here while we meditate then, Benladra." Miranda nodded.
"Alright! Yaaay!"
Like that, Benladra was going to stay with her mother to train her abilities. Meanwhile, after our big meal, Emerald decided to invite me to the Wind Dragons Realm after a lot of considerations.
He was very grateful, and wanted to give me his blood and hopefully, receive the blessing and authorization of the Wind Dragon Mother to fully awaken said bloodline.
"T-This is my first time accessing it, actually. I just didn't know I could back then, they never taught me. We were always inside of mother's divine realm instead." He admitted. "But thanks to you, master, I learned how to get here so… L-Let's go." He couldn't stop trembling. He was very nervous.
"Calm down kid, you've grown a lot since you were exiled." I patted his shoulders. "I am sure your mother will recognize you've changed a bit, at least. Right?"
"Yeah dude, calm down." Surtr agreed. "I'm coming too, right?"
"Eh? Sure?" Emerald felt slightly calmer with us around. "T-Then let's go!"
Without further ado, we stepped into the unknown.
