Chapter 1594 Kate's Struggles

1594 Kate's Struggles

-----

We enjoyed a break together near the underground lake, which included a lot of delicious meals, some made using some of the met of the Divine Soul Beasts we've hunted so far. Eating them not only gave us Divine Power, but it even strengthened and healed our souls from any damage. My soul, which had withstood a lot of damage after my fight with one of Pandemonium's Fragments was now almost back to full health, and above all, it was growing even stronger. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Eating Divine Soul Beast meat was the best! After filling ourselves with as much of that food as we could, we moved forwards. Cleaning most of the frozen caves as we could. It took us roughly a whole day. After the Giant Frost Spiders, we clashed against Divine Frost Werewolves, who worked on large packs and were both cunning and strong. Then we fought against the Freezing Caves Banshees, fast and sneaky monsters capable of becoming invisible and trespassing through physical matter.

Once we reached the other half, what greeted us were a bunch of new Divine Soul Beasts. Giant Frost-Shelled Turtle Dragonoids, giant humanoid turtle dragon-type monsters with great defenses and magic powers.

And one we reached the very end, what awaited us were fox creatures, Divine Frost Soul Three-Tailed Fox Spirits. They were the strongest Divine Soul Beasts we've found so far. It took more than some effort to defeat them, but they still went down fairly quick.

They specialized on powerful divine spiritual magic and could easily destroy most defensive barriers. I had to force my children to step back for this one, as we handled them almost all on our own with Benladann and Miranda. We couldn't risk the children getting their souls harmed.

However, because they were frail, despite being very strong and fast, we defeated them. After storing everything, we moved forwards, to the very depths of this area of the Ice Dragon Realm.

We were almost reaching the five hundred soul treasures quota before we even reached the deeper chambers of these frozen cavers. However, on its depths, something monstrous was awaiting us, perhaps one of the stronger monsters of this whole realm.

My father had told me that every Dragon Realm had their own ecosystems of Soul Beasts that were born there, although most Dragon Souls were safe in here. There were dangerous areas such as these, where the strongest Divine Soul Beasts were.

"Papa..." Kate muttered. "Am I that strong? But my soul... Is weaker compared to the rest."

"It might be because you were born with a fragment of my own and your mother, so you weren't born as others usually are." I said.

"Indeed, but that is also what makes you so special and amazing, dear." The System appeared by her side, caressing her little head, even if she couldn't truly touch her. "Yeah! You're super strong, Kate!" Benladra nodded happily. "Don't say that ever again! I am sure we can find a way to strengthen your soul a lot!"

"There's still some time left; we'll keep helping you grow stronger. You're not weak at all even now though. How about you help out but with your summons?" I asked her. "They're amazing and very strong, and you can control them from afar, right dear?"

"Y-Yes..." Kate nodded, feeling a bit better after we gave her a lot of love. "I'll help on my own way then, papa!"

"Good girl! We all love you." Her mother said, giving her invisible, virtual kisses over her tiny and cute face.

"Guugoh! Gaaah!" Even Drakda was nodding and extending his little hands towards his draconic sister, caressing her scales.

"Even Drakda loves you, see?" Miranda smiled. "Anyways, summon your strongest army, Kate. We're going in soon enough."

"Okay!" Kate nodded. "Big sis, can you help me? I think if we combine your powers with mine... Stronger summons can be brought."

"Sure! Show me how to do it!" Benladra nodded immediately.
