After everyone went to sleep on the second floor, where I gave everyone some leather beds and put them on the chimney so they could sleep more comfortably, I decided to assess what I got.

A pile of scrap metal and all types of mechanical pieces… and a large mana core battery shattered into pieces.

Oh right, there are also the small drones I got… those also had small mana cores on them.

I decided to eat all the mana cores. The big one was the tastiest, and it granted a nice amount of stats.

Now, what do I do with the scrap metal? I just ate the mana cores, and I didn't get any skills like [Living Mechanical Body], [Gamma Blade], or anything, so I don't think I will get any of such things from eating these robots either.

But why not give them a try? They seem to be made of magic metals even rarer than what I found with Mining. Oh right, when I mined days ago, I got a pile of metals, although I have not been using them because it is frankly easier to use Icesmith to make weapons and armor…

I have eaten a few of these metals, but they are not tasty, nor they gave me anything. Well, I guess like any other cultivation material.

But maybe it could be different this time?

Hmm… Well, I will eat three drones and an entire arm of the big one, how about that? Maybe if I ever find a Technomancer, he could build me a mech or something… Is there another Technomancer? I hope so… Wait, no, I don't hope so. I don't want to fight with overpowered mechs again.

Anyways, I started munching.

It was very hard to eat.

Ugh.

But I continued to devour it all and swallowed it for some time… Uegh.

After around an hour, I finished.

And nothing!

Okay, this was a total waste of time-

Ding!

<You learned the following Skills>

[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]

[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]

[Mithril Ore Shell: Level 1]

[Photon Bullet: Level 1]

What?

So I got something?! Not what I had imagined though, I didn't instantly become a robot or something… But this is way more than I thought I would get, which was just nothing.

This is… Also very strange, is this the first time I am getting element-based skills that are not of ice and wind?

[Magnetism Field Lesser Manipulation: Level 1]

Manipulate the magnetic energies around your body to a lesser extent. Can be improved through the use of Gravity Magic, a branch of Spatial Magic.

So this one is related to Space Attribute! Well, it is not as if I suddenly gained space magic though, it is limited to a certain use.

[Metallic Rearrangement: Level 1]

Rearrange your metallic parts for greater efficiency when moving or fighting.

Eh? This one is definitely for a robot, it shouldn't work for me, right?

I quickly tried to use it, and discovered that I was able to somewhat rearrange my own metallic scales, even to the point of forming something like a shield if I concentrated many in a certain area… maybe this plus the previous skill could let me launch my own scales as an attack.

[Mithril Ore Shell: Level 1]

Spend mana to generate a shell of mithril ore, an ore with high magical properties, both resistant to magic and also capable of conducting it with ease, while also being very resilient.

This one… I tried it and it generated a new layer of protective shell-like scales around any part of my body that I wanted. Perhaps the robots were made of this material the most. Oh, and when I detach them, they stay… Meaning that I could use this to craft stuff?

[Photon Bullet: Level 1]

Concentrate your mana into a bullet of light and fire it at your foe to deal magic-based damage.

As simple as that with this, I can fire a Light Bullet… Is this Light Attribute Magic? Not really… it is limited to a bullet! Like the ones, the mech fired at me, which were able to bend my scales.

But with this I get more variety I suppose… Interesting. It would be nice if I could find something big and strong to test my new skills, but there's nothing like that around.

I wonder… System can I learn every single elemental magic?

<Answer>

So I can't get full-fledged magic?

<Answer>

Hm… I guess I will have to discover it by myself. Although if I were to just get all elements, it would lose the "ice dragon" vibe to it, right?

Maybe it won't be as easy as I think, or perhaps it will be, but Ice Magic will still be my best one?

Or perhaps it will merely complement it…

Do I have any other element affinity?

<Answer>

<The user's magical affinity is Ice and Wind. The System helps in the aid of creating other elements through Skills, such as Photon Bullet. Similarly to how tools such as the mech were able to create it despite not having an affinity for it>

So the system is like an artifact in a way?

<Answer>

<Not exactly. It is part of your power>

Huh…

For now, I suppose I should rest a bit- wait.

As I ate the last piece of mana core battery left, I suddenly felt like my Mana resonated with power. The mana within changed quality and so did my entire body…

I think I ranked up? No, staged up, I guess…

Ding!

<Your Mana Core Rank 2: Upper Stage has reached Peak Stage!>

<You can now evolve>

<Evolution options have become available>

Now, what should I evolve into?

System, show me the evolution options.
