Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1776: Giving System Status To Spirits

I tried using the Divine Ability on myself, but...

[You have used the Divine Ability: [System Law Integration and Upgrade] on yourself.]

[Attempt has failed, your own Body is too powerful to be affected by this Divine Ability.]

[Your own Body cannot gain Enhancements nor further upgrade its already existing System with the Ability derived from it.]

"So it doesn't work on myself, it says I'm too strong..." I sighed.

"Oh well, I guessed as such," Andromeda shrugged. "Can you try it on others?"

"Hmm..." I looked at my family.

I felt a bit bad about using them as experiment subjects, but they didn't seem to mind anyways, so I tried it on Miranda, she could regenerate from any wound if she were to get hit by a strong zap...

Though, none of such things happened, only a flash of silver light that dissipated rapidly.

[You have used the Divine Ability: [System Law Integration and Upgrade] on target: [Miranda]!]

[Attempt has failed, target [Miranda]'s Body is too powerful to be affected by this Divine Ability.]

[Their already existing System Status is powerful enough; it cannot be further upgraded for the moment.]

"Doesn't work..."

I tried it on everyone else and I got the same message. Damn, so it doesn't work on those that are already super strong, huh? A bit of a bummer, but not that bad either, I had guessed it would have limitations.

"So it doesn't work on us because we're too strong?" wondered Benladann. "Hmm! What about our allies? Maybe some of them aren't too strong yet.2

"Right," I nodded. "I'll try it on everyone to experiment. I've already confirmed it doesn't cause harm even if it fails, so it's not hard to try it without even asking for permission, heh."

Like that, after breakfast, I moved from place to place, greeting my friends and trying to use the ability on them. However, it always failed, then I moved to my Spirits to see if it might work on them and...

Lo and behold!

[You have used the Divine Ability: [System Law Integration and Upgrade] on target: [Belle]!]

[Successful Integration! The target [Belle] has successfully been integrated by the System Law, gaining her own Spirit Status!]

[Enhancements are possible! Target [Belle] has gained +1 Enhancement.]

I felt a rush of my energies reaching the clueless pink fox, who was napping on top of our bed when we left to do our daily activities.

"Muh?! What the- WOAH!"

FLAAASH!

"What is this Drake?!" Belle complained. "The hell did you do to me!"

I was shocked, it finally worked on someone, and it was even better than I imagined! A "Spirit Status" was formed specifically for Spirits!

So Items, Spirits, and then other living beings like me and my family and friends all get different types of Status and also Stats?!

That's much better than I thought!

Also much less complicated.

"I feel somewhat stronger out of the blue, but I thought I had been stuck on Rank 10 Middle Stage for ages... Hey Drake! Are you there?"

"Ah, yes! Belle you got a System Status, congrats!" I celebrated, grabbing her.

"Uwaack! Hey let me go you brute!" she cried, but I didn't let go of her.

I let go of her eventually after she scratched my face with her claws.

Is she a cat or a fox? Seriously...

Anyways, I explained to her what happened.

"So that's it! Huh... Weird though, it didn't work on your friends and family members who are Rank 10 but it worked on me... But I'm also Rank 10!" she said angrily.

"Hmm, true," I nodded. "I guess Spirits are overall much weaker compared to living beings even when they're of the same Rank, right?"

"That's mean! We Spirits are strong! I'm a Divine Spirit born from a fragment of a Venerable's Soul! I controlled a giant Dream World!" she said angrily. "Maybe your System is wrong."

"It's not wrong," Andromeda appeared right behind her, scaring Belle. "Hyeeegh! Hey! What's with everyone trying to scare me to death today?!" she complained.

I patted her head, trying to calm her down.

"It's ok Belle, calm down," I sighed. "Is there another reason it worked, Andromeda?"

"Yes, Spirits are strong indeed, but most if not all of them require contracts and masters to unleash their true power, or also be part of nature and connect with the world and many more," she said. "It doesn't mean you're weak, it simply means that your energy reserves are very low, Spirits always require a different source of energy. They're fed Mana by either the area they're connected or their masters after all."

"T-That's...!" Belle was about to refute that, but quickly fell silent. "No, you're not wrong... I guess that's right! I'm literally like that, hahah!"

Why is she laughing now? Had she given up on pretending to be stronger than us? "Anyways, her Status has a lot of interesting surprises, right?" I wondered. "It seems she has unique Stats... Spirituality, Mystic Aether, and Elemental Power instead of the other series of Stats. She also got a Spirit Class and a Spirit Class Skill! And in addition, the Spirit Abilities and her +1 Enhancement Effect."

"Huh? How can I see that esteetus thing you're talking about?" wondered Belle, rising one of

her pink colored eyebrows. "Do I just-"

DING!

And then, right in front of her the Status appeared again, she opened her eyes wide, reading and realizing it was indeed a quantitative resume of her entire abilities, powers, and

strengths.

"So this is the System..." she muttered. "This is kind of amazing."
