Chapter 66: Adorable Ice Wolf Pups
.

.
We quickly walked around the forest, it was mostly empty of monsters, and I was pretty sure that nothing strong was around because I have been exploring the place constantly and hunting creatures, it seems that my sole presence scare any threatening beast like Gorillas or Bears to come here, which is good, stay away from my home!
But the wolves are the exception, they are dumb or something, so they stayed around anyways.
Well, now that they"re tamed they have no point in going away.
And so we went to meet them, after going around some piles of wood I had left when the whole fight against Molded Benladann occurred. A lot of trees were destroyed, and all this wood is just lying there.
I had planned to move them somewhere, but I don"t really know where… If I could use my wind magic a bit better, perhaps I could slowly shape them into… a nice wooden house!
But how could I even hold it? Wait… maybe I can make the wooden house fly in the sky with us?
Hm… Wait, that"s amazing, isn"t it?
Wait… What if we make a floating castle?!
Wait! What if…
Okay, let"s calm down.
I first need to practice wind magic some more.
Don"t get me wrong, I have not been slacking at all.
I am practicing magic literally every single second now.
Using Parallel Mind Thought Processing and High-Speed Thought Processing, I leave several parts of my mind practicing magic.
This way, I learn proficiency while learning how to do stuff a bit more.
I am slowly getting better… but to reach the point where I can shape wood with slicing winds and create perfect shapes… that might take some more time.
And making a building permanently float in the sky above me might also take a lot of time… to reach that point.
I have been eating Mana Cores steadily so I am stockpiling stats, but not as many as it would bring eating something of Rank 2… which there aren"t any around…

Several Skills have leveled up!
And… well, my Mana and Magic Stats are shining brightly, aren"t they?
I guess I have become stronger than all the beasts I fought against.
I suppose I am finally beginning to show off the might of an actual f.u.c.king dragon, about time!
Look at that strength, oh baby!
I am packed up with muscles, I can literally steamroll this entire forest if I want to, hah!
And my Mana is a s.h.i.t ton because the more I keep using it every single second while also cultivating with it, the more it increases exponentially!
I think I am already becoming stronger than whatever my Rank says about me.
Well, I was already stronger before this… I remember being Initial Stage when I killed a Middle Stage Wolf.
Anyways, we are here…
We finally reach the cave, as Benladann points at it with her index finger.
"There"s a lot of wolves there!" she said.
The wolves quickly recognize my presence, as they howl and call Frost, who was inside.
Frosts rush here hurriedly, while a few little ice wolf pups who were immensely adorable run at his side.
He barks at them to move away, but they keep chasing him until he reaches up to me with them at his side.
"Aw, so cute!" said Benladann, as she jumps to the floor and rushes to the puppies, who seem afraid of her and evade her hands.
"Frost, are these your pups?" I asked through telepathy.
"Growl…" Frost nods. I can see that his face is incredibly tired…
I guess it is harsh to be the father of so many G.o.dd.a.m.n kids…
"You"re doing good work, keep striving forward," I said.
My words, which I don"t know if he really understood them or not, make Frost nod again as his tail waves around. Maybe he understood that I was trying to cheer him up.
Frost had already seen Benladann before, but she was often sleeping at those times, so he glares at her again.
"So cute, is this big boy Frost?" asked Benladann… she was clearly bigger than Frost, around one meter and a half taller, so she had to squat to pet him.
"Yep, he"s Frost, the pack leader. He is Upper Stage, so he packs a punch despite being smaller than you," I said.
"Oh, you"re a strong boy, aren"t youuuu~?" asked Benladann, petting Frost as he couldn"t help but wave his tail… he likes attention.
"Woof! Woof!" barked Frost, answering Benladann"s question happily.
"He"s so cute!" said Benladann.
"Well… he could have eaten you before being tamed, you know?" I asked.
"Eh?! But he"s such a good boy!" said Benladann.
"…Yeah, let"s forget that thought. Anyways, let"s get inside the cave, so you can see all the wolves," I said.
We quickly were led by Frost and his adorable pups, which were barely growing tiny ice fangs, as we were greeted by dozens of other wolves, they seemed well-fed compared to before, because I have been helping them hunt more efficiently, and now they fill their bellies every day.
We spend a good amount of time here, just talking with each other while letting Benladann relax her mind a bit, it seemed to work, and she loved this little trip.
I"m glad.
