Reborn as the Dragon King's Son-In-Law

"You can leave right now. If you dare show your faces again, I won’t hesitate to kill you all indiscriminately!" The words spoken by my mouth struck fear into the three dragons. Unable to suppress the fearful expressions on their faces, the three dragons decided to lower their heads before finally disappearing from my sight.

But their sudden disappearance did not make me happy at all. They didn’t even introduce themselves to me. But that doesn’t make me care. On the contrary, I was very happy after fighting those three dragons.

My understanding of the Ice Element has improved significantly compared to when I first learned it from Elize. Previously, I could only create a block of ice around the palm of my hand, but that ability has increased significantly beyond that. Remembering the progress I experienced gave me a little hope of surpassing Athena.

"Cough. I think I’ve been too arrogant lately. I have to remember that I’m still unable to fight head-on with Dragon King stage experts. I’m afraid that this arrogance will lead me to my death when fighting against enemies much stronger than me." My face returned to a calm expression. The arrogance that was inside me before disappeared and was replaced with wariness. Even if I have increased my strength far beyond what I was before, I am still a weak human.

There’s nothing to be satisfied with, even if I defeat those three true dragons. They weren’t strong dragons. Therefore, I will not drown in my joy after winning the battle against them. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

But the achievement of defeating the three true dragons was nothing that could dampen my happiness. This is also a victory that I did not expect at all in the past. If my past self had seen my current self fighting and winning against the three true dragons, my past self would not have been able to believe what was happening.

The training given by Elize really greatly increased my combat strength, both physically and the strength of the mana in my body. Recalling the training given by Elize every day traumatized me a bit. Luckily, Elize is a beautiful woman. However, the task from the system would never disappear from my sight, even if I considered Elize as my master.

My respect for Elize also increases every time she teaches me new training. I don’t hate my master at all. On the contrary, I really want to become stronger and then protect Elize.

Even though Elize seems to have freedom when inside her territory, I realized that Elize’s expression doesn’t always show a happy face. She always meditates when the full moon approaches evening. Therefore, I think that Elize’s life is much more complicated than I could imagine.

Every time Elize smiles at me, I always think of humans who smile with fake faces. Likewise, with Elize, she and the humans I met were people who always lied to me in the past.

But my current fate is different from my past self, who was enslaved by the citizens. Elize is a woman who has become my master and also my role model. I want to be like this woman, who can manipulate the Ice Element as she pleases.

For some reason, an invisible cloak appeared before me. It was the Invisibility Cloak. But I didn’t care. Instead of deciding to use that Invisibility Cloak as my own, I kept it and gave it to the system.

[Saved successfully. System upgrade version 2.0 will start within 1 hour. This is also a reward from the system for successfully increasing your strength so quickly. The stronger the host, the higher the version of the system will become as the host grows stronger.]

This surprised me a little. The sudden notification from the system went completely unnoticed by me. Luckily, the system was still able to store an item that it gave me. Regardless, I decided not to think too much about upgrading the system.

One of my hands now gripped my shoulder and pressed it. A feeling of relief flooded my face. After fighting the three true dragons, I felt my whole body become very relaxed after not fighting for so long.

Elize’s physical training also helped me move my body more freely. I never forget to do the tasks given by Elize every morning. However, exercise is one way for me to improve my physique.

"You’re unexpected, Lucien. Since when did you learn magic secretly behind my back? Do you know that it’s against my teachings?"

Suddenly, my whole body felt uneasy. Just as my head was about to turn to the side above me, Elize’s figure appeared and grabbed my head. I couldn’t show any expression on my face.

A small part of me panicked at Elize’s sudden appearance. But for some reason, the gaze that Elize gave me turned a little softer. Previously, Elize was cold and indifferent when training me, but she now revealed a more human expression toward me.

I’m not afraid of Elize’s sudden change in attitude. Unfortunately, I was completely unable to explain what happened to her. After all, this was the first time I tried casting ice magic that could cover an area within a 100-meter radius.

Even a genius wouldn’t be able to create the ice magic that I created before. That was what Elize thought. I didn’t think much about my magic spell, which could cover a very wide area. Instead, I decided to accept every punishment that Elize would give me.
