Chapter 562: Belle's Growth
-----
I looked into Belle's Status while I was at it, and found that her stats had skyrocketed more than I thought… I know she evolved, but isn't this a bit too much? Oh well, the higher the better, I guess. Her Magic in specific increased quite a lot.

She gained a couple of new Abilities, one of them included the second Dream Kitsune Arts, Two Tails, each Tail has a specific move and effect, the first tail grants her the ability to shapeshift to an extent, although we have yet to see that in action, and the second tail seems to give her the ability to inflict fear through powerful nightmares.
She also acquired Spirit Magic, so she can conjure spells more easily I assume, and also the fusion as an ability as well, which I assume will make things easier as well for our fusions.
And lastly, there is… Freezing Dreams, it seems that it inherited it from me, she inherited the power that I showcased when we fought Black in the dreams and made it into an ability, I assume she can also use it now, which is pretty nice.
After waking up we ended in having breakfast in bed and then we quickly moved towards the Winter Lotus Sect, where we were going to met with the Sect Elders to talk about some important things, as we told them that we planned to move on towards the area of the continent that was the most populated, they wanted to tell us and introduce us to many things.
I also had planned to tell him more about me, and well, tell him about Fuyu, I've already made Phantasmal Contracts with them, so they cannot leak the info I will give to them, the same way the Ice Moon Sect Master already knows about Fuyu, my power over the dungeons, and even that I am a dragon.
I had told him most of it rather casually through clones, each time he didn't believed me until he began to take me more seriously… ah, and about that old man, I decided to bring him alone. I kind of wanted to make a council with the three Sect Masters.
Why? Well, they had a lot of information about many things that we didn't knew about, having them with me would offer more knowledge about the whole continent more easily, and things could be better understood as well.
Lord Ice Moon was brought here through the teleportation gates I had made that connected the dungeon to my Castle, they were a top-secret location, so he couldn't leak them, or the contract would eat his soul apart, and he knew this very well.
Compared to the other two Elders who saw me as a saint, he kind of saw me like a tyrannical person, perhaps a bully, maybe, but I didn't mind. He was still grateful for what I did for him, such as rescuing him from the Vampires.
It would be good to tell the two sect masters mostly about Fuyu because they never know where I even go when I am not staying in a building and assumed I had somehow like… a camp or something.
I also plan to invite them there for feasts and other things, I often feel more comfortable at home, so it is important to tell them about the existence of the giant floating castle.
Going back to Lord Ice Moon, he had developed more with his Monster Mana Core. He was an experiment of mine, you see, like the other Sect Elders which I also implemented Monster Mana Cores and healed back.
I don't remember well how I did it, but looking back at that moment, I kind of was an asshole, but I couldn't really apologize for him assholery, so I just kept my pride and tried to be more friendly with him from now on, he had actually reached Rank 4 in this new Mana Core again, he took advantage of the alchemy room in my castle and commissioned cultivation potions with mana cores he hunted.
And yeah, the Mana Core of the Shadow Crow I inserted into his chest worked pretty well, he had begun to develop Shadow Magic to an extent, mostly the Shadow Crow innate spells which it uses to hunt, he can even grow shadow wings and fire dark feathers… although he's still practicing, he should be able to even fly with me.
Alongside that, he can summon a Monster Spirit, but it still growing, as of now it looks like a small shadow crow chick.
His development has given us a lot of insight about how Monster Mana Cores can develop around a person instead of their Mana Cores they were born with, Benladann was also interested in the subject as she had grown to like to investigate all of these things with me.
Perhaps it could be possible to insert more Mana Cores into my body, from powerful Monsters I've found, instead of eating them… Or maybe not? I could always just eat them, but the potential of getting more Mana Cores means being able to stack more Stats, which is always nice…
When the meeting began and I told them about the floating castle, Mikohime and Thaletus seemed very dumbfounded…
"Y-You have a floating ice castle?!" asked Thaletus.
"Like… the Ice Queen?" wondered Mikohime.
