(Back to Drake's POV)
"Ugh, you guys are always awful with me…" The Fox Venerable lamented.
"I am not being awful I am just saying the truth!" Benladann said. "What gives you the right to call me as if I were your apprentice or something?"
"Guh… You're Drake's woman, come on! I thought we had some sort of bond…" Belle sighed.
"Hey, come on now." I said, quickly trying to calm down the girls from discussing over pointless matters. "Let's not pointless discuss about this… It just doesn't make any sense, right?""R-Right, now, back to the topic." The Frost Queen agreed. "Benladann, do you feel okay?"
"Yeah, all's right." Said Benladann. "The Chaos Spirit and the Chaotic Beast went to sleep for now, and my soul formed a Chaos Realm or something, not a divine realm, where they feel even more relieved inside."
"Ohhh… That's interesting." The Frost Queen said. "I would love to investigate your soul and how it works! Could it be possible?"
"No." Benladann was very reluctant.
"I agree, we want some privacy." I added. "Benladann also doesn't like experimentations or anything of the sort, so you'll have to just do with what she tells you about."
"Geh…" The Frost Queen gave defeating sound. "Okay…"
"Well now that we are done, how about we move onwards to the next step~?"The Fox Venerable walked towards the Frost Queen, reaching her back and looking at her while grasping her chin.
"H-Huh? Next step?" Wondered the Frost Queen.
"Yep, yep~" The Fox Venerable laughed. "Now that Drake got both of our inheritances, shouldn't you explain us how you're planning on coming back?"
"Right!"
The Frost Queen quickly said that, as she brough us back to the grasslands, and then, in a mere second, an enormous frost palace emerged in the skies.
"Accompany me to my home for now, I shall explain things there." She said.
It seemed that aside from the rooms we sued to sleep inside, there was just an enormous floating ice castle… Is this the one from legends?
"W-Wow… I can't believe I am seeing it with my own two eyes!" Rakasha said. "This is the Frost Queen's Frost Castle!"
"Indeed, it is!" Tisha said.
"Woow…" Hector said. "I remember my mother used to tell me a bedtime story about how the frost queen traveled over it."
"Hahaha. It seems this old castle popularized itself quite a lot!" Laughed the Frost Queen. "Let's go for now so you can see the thing by yourselves."
Big stairs led upwards, as we all took them and moved to the skies, arriving in the enormous castle made of ice, as several servants greeted us, these were Ice Elves, Ice Giants, and other people.
"These are all the souls of my precious people, they once served me and lived with me in my Sect." She said. "I've brought their souls with me after their natural deaths, giving them the oblivion they always wanted."
"Welcome, visitors." A beautiful maidservant Ice Giantess smiled charmingly as she greeted us.
"How are duties, Elle?" Wondered the Frost Queen.
"Everything is peaceful and tranquil as ever, milady." Said Elle. "Though, all the commotion down there has left us worried, it seems that you've finally recruited your inheritor."
"Yes, the Dragon King Drake is here." Said the Frost Queen.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. I am milady's first maidservant, and her loyal underling." Said Elle.
"Don't call yourself like that! You're my friend." Sighed the Frost Queen.
"Hahaha! She's always like that!" Laughed Terra.
"Lady Terra I would recommend you refrain from being overly lax in front of such important people." Sighed Elle.
"Aw, come on Ellie, everything's alright! These people are super cool!" Said Terra.
"Regarding if they're cool or not, you should keep your calm in front of them anyways!" Ellie reprimanded Terra.
"Ugh, yeah, yeah, whatever." Terra said.
"Ahem!" The Frost Queen quickly brought them all back to reality. "For now, I'll be bringing everybody to THAT special place, can you open the shortcut?"
"Yes, milady." Elle said, waving her hand as pure divine power emerged from her. I quickly realized she wasn't a mere soul at all… Was she this Divine Realm Spirit?
FLASH!
A portal in space opened, leading us to a different room, a majestic place with countless ice statues erected everywhere, in the center of the room, there was one statue of the same appearance as the Frost Queen, but enormously taller and majestically detailed.
"This is my Primordial Divine Ice Statue, it will become my new body once I revive, it will be thousands of times stronger than my original body, a body completely made out of my element ill be able to channel immense quantities of power. It will also be able to regenerate even from the tiniest bit left back to normal as long as I have divine power, and there's no divine core either, as the entire body counts as one." She said pridefully.
"Amazing… it is way better idea than the egg from Belle." I said.
"Wait, egg?" Wondered the Frost Queen.
"Ugh…" Belle looked away as if embarrassed, the Fox Venerable was really beginning to believe I was right I guess.
"Is your plan to revive through an egg?" Wondered the Frost Queen. "Why don't you construct your own body instead? Wait, what if you hatch into a baby, how are you going to grow up in time for the battle?"
"Err… S-Shut up! I can use my powers to make the body grow and evolve anyways! And it is a perfect body too, this egg will grant me a Primordial Divine Dream Spirit Body of my own creation! …Though, due to a dumbass dragon, it ended not gathering enough power so we have to give it raw materials for now." Belle looked at me with angry fox eyes.
"Who are you calling dumbass, vixen?" I asked angrily.
"Huh…" The Frost Queen looked at the two of us. "I will need some explanations about what is going on in here."
