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

Chapter 471 - Apocalypse Bringer



-----

Things had become incredibly bizarre as there were now seven more of "me" that didn't seemed to be me at all, yet they were me because I felt my thoughts into them, I even felt being them, I even felt controlling them and at the same time being completely different than them.

It was a bizarre feeling, I would have to get used to this… but I also discovered it is possible to send them back to the shadow realm if I want to, and to not make any fuss in the temple, I decided to store their minds inside my own mind and shut them into a mental room where they can hang out while I am doing my stuff.

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

All seven of them disappeared with a poof, their bodies turning into smoke as if they were shadow clones. They were entirely made out of magic after all.

<Did you like your new ability? You should check your new Skills; you'll get an explanation of how that's possible.>

"I've already kind of guessed how that is possible, in some sort of way… But fine, let me see what it is…" I sighed.

I decided to check all my new Skills while walking back to the temple.

[Yamata No Orochi's Eight Heads: Level 1]

You possess eight heads now, the first one is the main head, you. Meanwhile, all other heads are iterations of your original ego split into pieces and made into different personalities and selves, but they're all part of the complex prism that makes you, even the most embarrassing of personalities and the most different from your current self, they're all part of who you are.

This Skill not only grants you such an ability, but while transforming into other forms without multiple heads, the other heads have the option, with your consent, to take the same form as you but changed into their own unique appearances, becoming sentient and independent clones.

Each head can develop special abilities by themselves and can even be better at using a certain magic type or different Skills than you, however, they cannot develop new things outside of your own repertoire, but might become specializers of certain magic, abilities, techniques, and skills. And could even awaken new powers within them that you wouldn't be able to normally find.

Each clone's Stats are only 50% of yours, but it is increased by +5% with each Skill Level. They cannot use all your skills nor magic, but only the ones they have affinities with based in their natures and personalities.

If a clone dies after taking a certain amount of hits and having its Health Points lowered to zero, it cannot be summoned again for 7 days.

What…! I see, System, you told me to check my Skills because of this Skill, right? It does indeed sounds insane. So this is the thing behind them actually coming as clones, it wasn't just a coincidence, its part of the complexity of this generic-sounding skill, I see!

<I wouldn't call it that generic sounding… But indeed, you've become a unique existence as of now, Drake, make sure to use this power well enough.>

I will…

[Yamata No Orochi's Eight Tails: Level 1]

You possess eight powerful tails, each tail can move independently and use special Weapon Techniques on their own, while also being able to utilize special abilities and skills to fight on their own, while you are in a form with multiple tails, their effects are nullified unless you generate them back. While in your Orochi Dragon Form, each tail can be controlled by a different head.

The power of each tail's is enhanced by +10% with each Skill Level, the damage dealt using Techniques is increased by +10% with each level as well.

Oho? This one sounds more simplistic, but it also comes with interesting premises. I see, that's why one of the tails had the tip resembling a blade, the other a bow and an arrow, another a large shield, and so on…

[Yamata No Orochi Sixteen Eyes of Demise: Level 1]

Due to having eight heads, you have sixteen eyes, each eye is imbued with the power of Curses, specifically, Evil Eyes. Each Eye possess a special small Curse-like effect, alone, they're weak, but if conjured together into a target, their power intensifies and certain conditions can be fulfilled for special curses to be conjured over a target, constantly consumes mana while using. In humanoid form, the main body, and the clones each have their own Evil Eyes.

The intensity and effects of your Evil Eyes Curses is enhanced by +10% with each Skill Level.

This one… Evil Eyes?! But it didn't specify what I get! I will have to find out myself, I suppose.

Doesn't sound so bad to be honest… I am quite excited to see where this might go.

And now, there are two other Skills aside from these Yamata No Orochi-themed Skills… They're the [Apocalypse Bringer: Level 1] Skill and the [Desecration of the World: Level 1] Skill.

Both have quite the eerie-sounding names to them, which only give me weird rings to them.

[Apocalypse Bringer: Level 1]

You're the Apocalypse Bringer. Your very being will bring the apocalypse, destruction is part of your very self, and only damnation awaits those that stand before your path. Increases all Stat growth by +20% with each level. Grants an enhancement to all your damage dealt by +20% with each level, you can drain 30% of your target's damage as HP.

Eh?! This Skill sounds broken as fuck! What is this even? Oi! This is game breaking…

So I just constantly grow stronger by just leveling this up, wait, how do I level this up?

<Accumulate proficiency by bringing disasters.>

Huh… That's not something I will do all the time, I am very sure of it. But I guess I might end up doing something like that eventually, perhaps… I… I guess.

Maybe if a big group of people pisses me off? But wouldn't I be killing innocents in the way? I don't like that…

Eh, well, I still got another skill to check…
