[Day 107]
A week had gone by since the kid's test, and it has been a peaceful one. They and Benladann had been recovering from their emotional wounds while also growing stronger.
Benladann nor anyone in the entire group had been slacking off, as there had been daily exercises, group cultivation, and magic and technique practice every single day.
Benladann had begun to teach some of the kids interested some fighting techniques, although due to the age and size difference, she had been cleaning the floor with all of them all the time, so it was hard for them to learn much, she had been trying her best to be as gentle as possible, and some such as Hansel and Ellergest had shown to have the talent for techniques, having learned Axe and Blade technique respectively.
Meanwhile, everyone had strengthened their bodies through the opening of Mana Veins across their bodies, and everyone seems to be growing stronger at a steady pace.
So even the little kids of 6 years of age are getting stronger even physically! In fact, as they trained physically, they grew in size as well.
Most of them had advanced another stage of their Rank 1 Mana Cores, some of them being already at Upper Stage, showing off their amazing talent, coupled with drinking my blood and also with the power of the Dragon Marks, they are all proving to grow into strong kids.
But not only the kids, everyone had been growing stronger! Draugann got stronger as well, well, almost magically, she sucks at physical fighting. It cannot be changed even if she gets a bit younger!
And not only the old grandma, but all the others, the tamed monsters too, as everyone had crossed into Rank 2 Middle Stage, alongside Benladann, who had become Rank 2 Upper Stage! After receiving the Dragon Mark, her cultivation speed got even faster, even more now that we got so many people around to do Group Cultivation…
And of course, I have also been training a lot!
I have been eating low ranked mana cores to increase the power of my second mana core, which finally reached Rank 1 Peak Stage, and I've also been practicing more Death Magic, trying to find a spell that can let me force undead to obey me or something that could Charm them, like a certain dhampir boy… But nothing yet!
However, for the moment, I've found some pretty amazing uses to my Death Magic, such as the power of using it to accelerate the process of wolf milk becoming cheese through the Fermentation Spell, which I am also using over fruit juice to make… yes, you guessed it, wine!
Or ale… Well, whatever is called, it was refreshing to taste after so long… I used to drink some in my past life, you know? So I wasn't that much of a pushover. Well, not like I am a brainless alcoholic either, so relax.
There are other uses such as revitalizing someone old by taking away the death from them, such as Draugann using Youth Restoration, although I am still amateur on it, and I need to practice some more. There are other Spells I've been trying to make, but most of them helped in the maturation of things, although they didn't affect living beings.
A certain spell that could be produced, which I had recently found out was named Cold Flames, which is a type of phantasmal fire made using death attribute magic, which is incredibly cold, as cold as ice, and not warm at all.
It is a type of fire that freezes instead of burning, it works like this by absorbing and leeching off the heat from other things, it seems to work with living beings, but it requires practice, I am not as masterful with it as I am with ice, but it could bring some new possibilities.
In my resume, I've been practicing a lot, but I still require getting better at it.
Aside from all of that, I've been abusing my new ice giant form to practice a lot of stuff and grab all sorts of Skills I could not previously get. First of all, I got several techniques right off the bat, such as Unarmed Fighting Technique, Blade Technique, Armor Technique, Shield Technique, Archery, Cooking, Alchemy, and Architecture… Yes, I did all sorts of stuff and practiced with all sorts of weapons too. I can't seem to get to make any weapon stronger than Skadi though, so that's my limit for now.
For now, it was finally time to check out my stats…

…
They had increased a lot, although part of it was that I reached a new Soul Cultivation Realm after
a lot of practice and soul tearing… it seems to be a realm where you nourish the soul core and make it richer in quality and essence… I guess you could call it that.
The stats had increased decently in a week, and also, without even increasing my Rank 3 Mana Core Stages yet, so I guess it is pretty decent overall.
My Magic, both of them, also leveled up, and some Skills such as Berserk Mode had awakened into Furious Berserk Mode, while stuff such as Intermediate Self-Regeneration has awakened into Hastened Self-Regeneration…
In other more interesting news, it seems that the family of hunters was easily charmed by my amazing benevolence, and decided to serve me and stay by my side, but they wanted to get back to the town to grab the things inside their hut.
Oh, and the town near the sect… we are reaching it right at this moment…
