Chapter 265: Achieving Rank 4!

Chapter 265: Achieving Rank 4!

-----
I watched the big pile of Rank 3 Mana Cores in front of me with a bit of gluttony in my eyes. It really looked like a nice meal…
"You're going to eat all of that?" asked Benladann.
"Yeah, your potions are being made as of now, so don't worry. After this, we can always infiltrate the dungeon and get you some more Rank 3 Mana Cores." I said.
"Alright… I am just concerned… You evolved just a week ago… You'll go sleep again?" she sighed.
"Oh, well, it is necessary…" I said.
"But I don't like when you're gone…" she sighed.
"Aw…"
"Benladann, don't be so manipulative of Drake, he will take a day or two and then he'll be back…" sighed her mother.
"Indeed, don't be like that. He'll come back even stronger." Said her father.
"And there are my slime clones so you can talk with me," I said.
"Yea but that's like speaking to a telephone, and sometimes you still fall asleep…" sighed Benladann.
"Come on now, use those days to train and get stronger so you can catch up to me. Remember when we sparred? How about we do sparring after I come back?"
"Ooh? Maybe…. Fine." She said.
I petted her head.
"Good. Maybe I won't even get to evolve you know?"
I decided to quickly consume all the Mana Cores without waiting for a single second, devouring everything by expanding my head into that of a giant dragon, and ate it all…
The infusion of power was clear as water, my main mana core was immediately enhanced by a large amount of essence, and in a mere instant, it all changed and was enhanced.
A stream of mana surged from my body as my Mana core broke through Upper Stage into Peak Stage in a second.
But there was more…
The energy continued to refine my mana core, and in an unexpected turn of events, I suddenly became Rank 4 Initial Stage!
Ding!




Ooh, special evolution types?! Amazing, just like before, because I ranked up the twice right way before evolving, I get to pick special evolutions.
What else could there be aside from the rare Daydreaming dragon? This time I will try to pick up something that can be more proficient physically. I am still a way better mage than a physical fighter, and honestly, Benladann is catching up to my physical strength at a terrifying rate.
I am all into strong women, in fact, muscular women are the hottest, but I just don't want to be left behind in that regard! I mean, I am a damn dragon, so I gotta be stronger physically, right?
Anyways, I guess I had become pretty strong. My entire aura exuded Rank 4 all around, and there wasn't anyone around here at Rank 4 other than myself…
Well, even at Rank 4, I felt like this wasn't enough, after all, the peak of the mortal realm is Rank 6! I am just in the middle now, but I gotta climb even further.
I have already gotten enough power from these Mana Cores, so I gotta look for where I can find and grind Rank 4 Monsters now, a reliable dungeon where we can get a lot is the best.
For that, I gotta investigate some more in the Sect and talk with the annoying Elders that know all of this shit.
Well, they're about to lose themselves when they realize I've become Rank 4 tough, it will surely make a big fuss. But I will suppress my power and make it seem like I am just a very strong Rank 3.
The quality of Mana of a Rank 4 is never the same as a Rank 3, right?
Well, I got a trap there, I got two other Mana Cores of Rank 1 and 2, so I can use the mana in this mask my Rank 4 Mana… Haha!
Everyone was left speechless after I ranked up, my Aura had truly become quite incredible.
"Oof, I guess I really did rank up a lot, I got into Rank 4… Haha…" I laughed nervously.
"T-That's cheating! You surpassed me again… I liked when we were equal." She sighed.
Benladann likes both of us to always be equally strong for some reason. I suppose she feels "useless" if she's weaker than me…? She has to realize she's the second strongest in the entire sect, and that alone is a big achievement!
My girl really likes to be at my side, huh?
"Amazing, you've really gotten stronger, papa!" said Flayr.
"So much Mana, and it is sparkly… I-I want to be Rank 4 too…" said Noirenn.
"I am sure you'll be, dearies, you're already Rank 2 and that alone is amazing," I said.
"Yeah but it was thanks to the potions…" sighed Flayr.
"Yeah…" sighed Noirenn.
"Eh? But you were the ones that hunted the monsters down to drink the Rank 1 Potions, right? I made them use what you hunted, so it was your hard work that made you grow stronger." I said.
And of course, my own cheats! It is thanks to my own System abilities and my blood that made these potions capable of being digestible and capable of enhancing a person's cultivation right away.
However, I have heard that other types of concoctions or pills can also enhance the cultivation of people that consumes right away, but they seem to be way harder and more complex to make than my wondrous Cultivation Potions.
It could be said I am a pretty amazing alchemist.
"You're right…" said Flayr.
"Hmm… B-But you still helped…" said Noirenn.
"Everyone helped here! I am barely doing anything now; it is thanks to our talented alchemists that those potions were made." I said.
"I suppose you're right. See, girls? It is not just his help, but your hard work also put a lot!" said Benladann.
After the breakfast, I decided to go evolve right away, the sooner this is done, the better.
