…

[Spear of Freezing Winter: Skadi (B-Grade+)]

A powerful giant spear with a length of almost 10 meters crafted purely out of Magic Ice conjured by a powerful and talented Ice Dragon.

Its name has given it unique properties and its creation was made with immense amounts of effort and time.

This weapon can evolve over time while bathing in the blood of its victims.

[Durability: 6000/6000]

[Attack Power: 5500]

[Magic Conductivity: 4500]

[Weapon Speed: 6000]

[Traits: [Evolving Weapon (B)], [Piercing Ice Spikes (B)], [Furious Dragon Strength (B)], [Auto-Repair (B)], [Winter Storm (B)], [Skadi's Blessing (B)], [Slaughter Healing (B)], [Levitate (B)], [Independent Weapon (B)]

…

My amazing Skadi holds many effects within, but one of the most commendable ones is the abilities it possesses!

Levitate helps the weapon float through the use of accumulated Mana through its Mana Storage.

Independent Weapon gives it a small will of its own without even having a soul because of just how powerful of a magic weapon it is. I can give it simple tasks such as slaughtering enemies, flying around, and more.

Because I formed a soul connection with it by connecting a soul thread with it, it will always know where I am, and it can constantly get Mana supplied to it wherever it is.

Slaughter Healing helps the weapon recover and repair any crack or damage by killing beings and absorbing their vitality and blood. I also get like half of what it recovers even from far away, so there is nice passive healing there, even though I already have an Immortal Body for that.

The Piercing Ice Spikes Trait makes Skadi move incredibly quickly in midair, generating the illusion that it is many ice spikes falling over the unfortunate foe it is going to impale to death.

Furious Dragon Strength is an upgraded version of Dragon Strength, and it enhances the weapon with a bit more power as a boost in the form of a crimson-red-colored aura.

Winter Storm is another offensive Trait that releases a powerful storm of winds against an enemy, which spirals into a powerful tornado of pure freezing winds, it is a good long-ranged attack.

And lastly, Skadi's Blessing grants me a passive boost to all my stats by merely "equipping" the weapon, which can count as equipped because I am "holding" it with my soul.

And that's without counting the stats it possesses, [Durability: 6000/6000], [Attack Power: 5500], [Magic Conductivity: 4500], and [Weapon Speed: 6000], which is enough to give it amazing durability, power, magic conduction, and speed while flying in midair.

My plan is pretty simple, I am not just setting down with Skadi, I am making more of these overpowered giant weapons of over 10 meters of length, and as of now, I am passively crafting a giant blade, similar to the Dragon Slayer that Guts wield in the manga Berserk.

I don't know what name I will give it, but it is certainly taking its time to be made, so it won't be ready in a few days.

What I want is to have an army of these flying weapons to be even more overpowered. After all, I have to abuse everything I have! Why settle down with ice projectiles made at the moment if I can make permanent super ice weapons?

I may sound like a sicko, but I am eager to try it out…

"Drake! Lunch is ready~!"

Suddenly, as I was admiring my beautiful spear, Benladann calls to me with a cute tone of voice, telling me that lunch is ready… I feel like she acts like a housewife now.

"Oh, alright!"

I quickly fly back inside the Ice Fortress while the fortress keeps slowly flying towards the direction we were going into.

When I enter inside the fortress I am greeted by the delicious smell of hotpot, it seems that Benladann has made once more her delicious hotpot!

"I added wolf meat and also ice crow meat, so it has a very rich flavor," said Benladann, as she quickly served me a large plate of warm soup, with large chunks of meat spread around, mushrooms, dried herbs, and boiled roots of Root Salt.

The little roots of the Root Salt can actually be boiled and eaten whole, as they don't harbor as much sodium as the big tubers where most of the salt is. So Benladann decided to wash them, cut them, and add them into the hotpot.

When they are boiled, they taste like already salted boiled potatoes, so it is pretty amazing.

"You're so good at cooking, Benladann…" I said while eating everything.

"Hehe… I am glad you like it, Drake," said Benladann with an adorable smile as she ate soup at my side with Yuki and the other wolves sitting around.

"What I like the most is that you make a lot of soup for me, you're very considerate," I said.

"It is nothing, really! I am just doing my best. I like to see you happy while eating what I prepare…" said Benladann, as she suddenly flushed a bit.

"Really? I can't wait until we reach some city so we can buy more ingredients and food to prepare. I am dying to taste the bread of this world and other types of meat such as the pigs or cows your town had… Oh, and also eggs!" I said.

"Hm! I am also looking forward to that. I hope everyone is still there after all the time I was gone…" said Benladann.

"Yeah, let's hope they're there. I am sure that if your parents love you, they will wait for their daughter to come back one day," I said.

"Thanks for your kind words, Drake. I am also looking forward to it! I want my parents to see you, I want them to accept you!" said Benladann.

"Accept me?" I asked.

"Like… Err… To get the approval of my parents for us to…! Ah… N-Never mind!" said Benladann, she suddenly covered her face while growing as red as a tomato.

The approval of what? Does she want me to become her official pet? I don't want to be a pet…

Well, if it just pretending… But I doubt her parents would believe that a giant dragon is her pet.

Suddenly, as we ate, I received a sudden howl from Frost.

I expanded my vision and realized the wolves began to fight against… slimy creatures.

They looked like they were made of… water and ice.

Wait, are these Slimes?!

Ad they got large mana cores floating in the middle of their slimy bodies.

It is time for a new meal, I guess…

I hope slimes are sweet, we need a new dessert that is not just these pears which I am getting tired of.

I quickly order Yuzu to hover near the surface, as it ends up floating only ten meters above the ground, right atop the pine trees.

"What's going on?" asked Benladann, who had just finished eating.

"Monsters. And new ones!" I said.

"Monsters? So fast? But it isn't something the wolves can handle?" asked Benladann.

"Yeah, they are tough… Well, more like hard to kill. You see… They are a bit slimy," I said.

"Slimy? Slugs?" asked Benladann, as she walked outside of the fortress by leaping over my back, Yuki quickly came afterward, as I flew down below.

"No, Slimes…"
