Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1850: The Power Of Benladann's Esper Ability!



{Spectral Mindscape}

Benladann's Unique Esper Ability, born from her mind as she awakened as an Esper.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Across the world of this Trial, it is said that Esper Abilities oftentimes manifest based in the person's minds.

Their traumas, their memories, their personalities, the way they live their lives, all of these things can affect how their Esper Ability is born.

The most vulnerable people might turn their abilities into something to protect themselves, while those that are aggressive, will obtain an ability that can be used to kill.

But sometimes, stranger abilities can be born, the more twisted a person's mind, or their past, can end up being.

Benladann was a stellar example of this, having been once a subject of experimentation inside a laboratory, where she was forced to merge with an alien creature.

She suffered, she cried, and she went mad, so mad, that she ended hurting a lot of innocent people as well.

She was only put down when they found a way to completely negate the Mold's powers and kill it alongside her.

And since she reincarnated that she had to deal with a lot of shit too, from the Mold coming with her and being still evil and possessive.

Her having to escape her family and her village to not affect them or harm them, being saved by Drake and go back, only to find her village devastated and her new parents dead...

Even though with Drake at her side, and then with the Mold being reborn as Miranda, finally beginning to walk through a path of redemption, and her life having now improved a lot...

Many challenges kept coming, and now that she was Benladra's mother, and soon a mother of another more baby, she had never stopped having her fair share of difficulties and stressful moments.

This darkness from her past, however, lingered, always. Even as happy as she could be sometimes, it wasn't something that would go anywhere, it was what made her who she was after all.

All experiences make a person what they are, every single one of them, from the experiences of happiness and fulfillment to those of frustration, sorrow, and suffering.

When she awakened as an Esper, all of these experiences amassed into a new power, her Esper Ability.

And now, she unleashed it against her foes at full power.

A black, ghostly power that feed on people's minds, their worse traumas, nightmares, and the people they hated the most.

All of this feed her Esper Ability, including herself.

Hence why her ability was like darkness, shadows, and could merge with her chaos so well.

It also represented her traumas and suffering, becoming stronger through this.

And by activating this ability on its totality, she was able to trap her foes' minds within a Mindscape made out of their fears and traumas.

Right now, Paprika and Johnsie were seeing their family members, childhood friends, colleagues, and victims which they had killed and tortured in the past.

"Paprika... How could you do this with your brother... This is disgusting!"

"You're not in love, you're just delusional!"

"Why did you kill us?! We loved you two!"

"I worked hard all my life for you two... I dedicated my entire existence to raise you, is this how you repay me?!"

"Big sis, big bro! Why did you cut my head off? It hurt so much..."

There were even children there, these two psychopaths had even slaughtered their little siblings, they had a big family, and they killed them all.

"Hahahah... T-This is just an illusion anyways!" laughed Paprika. "Right Honey?"

Paprika tried to calm down, noticing that Johnsie's face was twitching.

"P-Pudding?"

"I-It is but... Why... Why does it feel so real?"

"Wait... Wait a second, calm down!"

As she tried to calm her brother down, their family members reached them, grabbing their legs, arms, and trying to drag them down.

The floor slowly became black slime, sludge, it was Mold, actually, the Mold from Benladann's traumas.

Although Miranda had changed since then, Benladann considered her a completely different being altogether than this "Mold".

The Mold of her Traumas was a monster, an alien with no emotions, a parasite with no will or mind of its own.

It was the monster that was there before Miranda appeared.

A primal monstrosity born in another planet, crashlanding on Earth and then implanted into

her body.

A parasite that consumed her mind and brought her towards insanity.

{Spectral Mindscape} didn't just embody the traumas of the victims trapped inside, but also of the wielder.

However, the wielder, having already surpassed such traumas, could control them to their will.

A sea of Mold slowly started sinking Johnsie and Paprika, making them scream as their parents and siblings dragged them.

"Uuuaaaggh! Get away from meeeee!" Johnsie, who seemed like the most composed and calm of the two screamed like a monkey.

"No...! NO! NO! NOOOO! I didn't mean to cut your head, little brother!" Paprika kept weeping as she saw her brother opening his head to reveal its insides to her.

Before, these psychopaths seemed unable to feel anything for the atrocities they committed.

But this changed through the effects of {Spectral Mindscape}!

"Hahh... Hahhh... Yeah, it hurts right?" Benladann gasped, using this power on such insane minds was getting her a bit tired. "My Spectral Mindscape not only brings out your deepest fears and traumas, it embodies them into TRUE fear, no matter what you thought before, it'll

hurt."

"N-No, this is all inside my mind!" cried Paprika. "W-We have to- Ah?! Pudding?! Ack!

Arrgh!"

Suddenly, Johnsie glared at Paprika with a face full of utter insanity, crying tears of horror and suffering as he started strangling his sister.

"I-It was your damn fault! Y-YOU DID THIS TO MEEE! YOU FORCED ME! YOU FORCED MEEE!"

"Uuuaaggh! Graarrggh! P-Pudding...! Shtop...!"

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I'm so tired of your fucking face, you slut!"

"Aaarrgh! L-Leave me aloneeee! You fucking pig!"

Paprika used her fingers to dig her brother's eyes, making his eyes begin to bleed constantly.

The two were already trying to kill each other the moment they began to fall into despair... "Their parents were right... these psychopaths never loved one another."
