Chapter 186: Skadi and Fuyu's Progress! And A New Project

-----

So today was the day!

I was going to try out my hands into recovering Benladann's parents' corpses into a healthier condition.

Of course, I wasn't going to use them as experiments, nor test subjects, I already had some to try this power out.

So maybe… today won't be the day yet. I might take some more time to adjust this spell, so I will try it out in a lot of carcasses.

For this purpose, I had brought two small corpses of Ice Rabbits that Skadi brought to me, they were recently killed, geez. Skadi is becoming more and more of a cold-blooded killer.

Talking about her, she is developing by herself now, more than I had expected. She had become a Cursed Intelligent Ice Weapon, and she acquired several new traits, one of which allows her to absorb Mana Crystals and gains some of the power of the monster she kills. Kind of like a certain sword novel main character.

I do wonder if every living weapon can develop this… the trait is unique to weapons, and I don't think a living being can develop it, nor golems. She can also swallow souls and absorb vitality energy, so she can strengthen herself by bathing in blood and eating souls of what she kills.

Geez, she's becoming incredibly overpowered at a fast pace, although my stats are still superior, she's not slacking off at all… I will make sure to bring her to the Dungeon later on.

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

[Durability: 6000/6000 > 14000/14000]

[Attack Power: 5500 > 12500]

[Magic Conductivity: 4500 > 10500]

[Weapon Speed: 6000 > 13500]

[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)], [Living Weapon (B)], [Mana Crystal Assimilation (B)], [Soul Absorption (B)], [Spear Technique (B)], [Consecutive Triple Thrust (B)], [Acrobatics (C)], [Bone-Crushing Claws (C)], [Adaptability (C)], [Fear-Inducing Aura (B)] 

…

These are her stats as of now, she had grown very strong and got a lot of new Skills, she got Acrobatics, Bone Crushing Claws, Adaptability, and Fear-Inducing Aura Skills from absorbing a lot of Mana Cores.

Her stats more than doubled, and she underwent an evolution, gaining the Bloodthirsty word into her name… her grade also went up from B-Grade+ to B-Grade+++, very soon she'll get to A-Grade.

I hate to admit it, but I am honestly terrified of my own creation. Skadi might be the strongest being I have ever created…

Moving on, there's Fuyu, the second strongest being I've ever created.

She has grown very strong by merely absorbing materials near-endlessly. Every day she is upgrading herself and growing bigger and bigger, while my runes, which I fill her entire body with, seem to be enhancing her stats even more. She also gained interesting abilities after increasing her Stage…

…

Name: Fuyu.

Race: Great Flying Ice Fortress Golem (Female)

Mana Core Cultivation: Rank 2 (Middle Stage).

Status: Gathering Mana.

Average Estimated Vitality: 75.000/75.000

Average Estimated Mana: 35.000/35.000

Average Estimated Strength: 9.600

Average Estimated Dexterity: 3.200

Average Estimated Magic: 10.850

Abilities:

[Comfortable Interior]

[Housework]

[Material Body]

[Phantasmal Icy Aura]

[Ice Fortress]

[Cold Immunity]

[Elemental Resistance]

[Status Effect Immunity]

[Self-Repair]

[Material Assimilation]

[Mana Core Battery]

[Wind Magic Rune: Float]

[Icicle Spear]

[Fortress Defense]

[Protection Enhancement]

[Body Manipulation]

[Architecture]

[Divine Dragon Mark: Steel]

[Space Expansion]

[Self-Upgrade]

[Ice Magic Rune: Super Ice Reinforcement]

[Skill Rune: Stealth]

[Skill Rune: Camouflage]

…

Her stats increased a lot! The more material she assimilates, the more her Vitality increases… And as I have been fusing Mana Cores over her main Mana Core Battery, she continues to gain more Mana pool as well.

She also practices Mana Group Cultivation with everyone inside, so she is constantly cultivating.

She gained the Space Expansion, Self-Upgrade, Ice Magic Rune: Super Ice Reinforcement, Skill Rune: Stealth, and Skill Rune: Camouflage Abilities. Only certain Runes works on her. Obviously giving her a Rune of my Death Magic won't give her magic, nor resistance skills, but runes that give her enhancements over her body that are easy to handle, or just to let her float, yes, they can be made. Though these Abilities of such Skill Runes only appeared after I had added around 400 Runes, so it takes its time.

Fuyu had indeed grown very strong now… And I hope she can keep growing stronger. She's literally our entire house, the one that maintains us all together in this world. And the one that makes it possible for all these different people to gather here and survive together with me.

Due to this, Fuyu is the top priority in most things such as upgrades and resources, this is why most of the Mana Cores we get now are directly given to her.

Anyways, moving on, the two corpses!

I quickly went into a separate room which I had assigned as a laboratory, it is the same room I used to slice myself apart using body division, which I've added all sorts of laboratory-like furniture using my ice, so it looks very great. There's also a window opened so the odor of the rotten meat goes out.

I was going to practice the Spell named Decomposition. It is a simple spell that lets me decompose non-living things. Of course, they have to be formerly alive to rot, so things such as rocks or the like won't decompose.

I don't think I could use it for battle because its effects on living beings are very dim.

I used it over one of the rabbit corpses, spending a few thousand mana in the process.

A sickly green gas covered a rabbit entire corpses, and the rabbit started to slowly decompose, decaying and rotting.

I left it half rotting, and then I decided to try out my other spell, the one that can help recover Benladann's parent's corpses.

And it was quite simply named… Corpse Healing.

This time, it was a semi-transparent magic gas that shrouded the rabbit.

The magic essence was infused into it, and…
