Although I was getting slightly worried about this Abyss guy, my father quickly interrumpted my train of thoughts as he started to talk about something else. He clearly didn't want me to worry about something else while our job in Muspelheim wasn't even done yet.

"I would recommend you begin also learning and increasing the proficiency of your Death Magic more, Drake." He said. "As you grow stronger, your natural talents will only blossom further, but if you don't train them, they might get stuck as well. Even without an Awakened Death Dragon Bloodline, you should be able to get really far. I've been cultivating the Divine Energy of this element in conjunction with my Darkness Element, and I've managed to create these Dark Soul Flames."

He showed me a variety of different types of darkness flames, a creation of Dark Dragons. These dragons don't just use darkness, but naturally wield a blazing power within them which is a corrupted, cursed black fire.

"By combining it with my Soul Flames, I can burn through foe's souls themselves and weaken them severely." He smiled. "Do you have any Soul-type Attack aside from your weapons?"

"Hmm, I don't think I have anything too specialized. Even Demonic Energy will first target the body." I said. "But a completely soul-focused attack made into a Divine Ability? No..."

"Then I would recommend you to immediately get something. If you're really going to fight someone as powerful as Pandemonium, even if just a few fragments stitched together with other body parts... You should definitely have something that could harm his soul." He said. "Although his body parts are also his soul in a way, due to how strange his composition is, his soul is connected with each fragment of his body. The body piece you ate wasn't just flesh, it contained a piece of his soul, and that's the reason it is such a big deal."

"I see." I nodded. "I have my [Soul Parasite] Divine Ability, but only at S Rank, if I can raise it to SSS Rank, it could also be of some use. Weakening him slowly by parasitizing his body fragments, directly connected to his soul wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Not bad at all, but you'll need an attack to connect and pierce his body first, right? This is why something that ignores all physical defenses and immediately hits the soul is important." He said. "How about you try to copy my spells for a starter? You're got the talent to copy abilities and spells really well, son."

"Right, I guess we can start with that." I nodded. "Alright."

"I'll leave you some Cooking Slimes to help you in that... I'll harvest the treasures around here in the meantime." I said.

"Alright honey~" Benladann hummed.

Because we had yet to reach the quota of five hundred, I quickly harvested most of them with my family, and we decided to take a small break here while I practiced some magic. First, I copied my father's Sinful Flames. It didn't work, but I was able to create Gluttonous Flames, flames that eat up a foe's health, mana, and divine power quickly, might come in handy if combined with my Heavenly Demon Flames.

"It's obvious you can't copy the Sinful Flames, hahaha!" My father laughed. "It is a Core Divine Ability of mine, similar to a Unique Skill, it can't be copied so easily even for a genius such as yourself, son. But those Gluttony Flames look strong."

"Flames seem like an essential power for every dragon, despite us not being fire dragons at all, huh?" I wondered. "I should also try to innovate with my ice as well."

"I guess you're not wrong there." He nodded. "However, there is a reason why every dragon can wield flames of their elements, despite not being fire dragons. It is because of something known as the Primordial Dragon Flame."

"T-The what?" I asked in shock. "What's that? I've never heard of it before..."

"It is a part of Mother Tiamat's almighty powers." Said my father. "It is said to be the origin of all Dragon's Breath, and it comes from the depths of her own Soul. A mythical core made of pure Primordial Divine Essence."

"I see... That we all have breath attack, it is because of such a treasure?" I wondered.

"Yes, we dragons inherit a part of her almighty powers, everything we have, she has it. Her daughters all inherited a stronger part of her powers individually, giving all the dragon families their own specialties. Meanwhile, the Dragon King is the only dragon capable of absorbing and assimilating all bloodlines. Meaning that you're the only true successor of Tiamat, who will eventually inherit all the powers she possesses." He explained.

"...I didn't know it was to such an extent." I said, as my Death Elemental Power surged from my hands. "Somehow, I feel like the weight on my shoulders has increased even more..."
