Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1597

1597 Victory

"Huh?"

Miranda's eyes widened as she realized the attack didn't hit her. In fact, I had moved right in front of her at lightning speed, imbuing my entire body with as much Divine Power and Demonic Energy to enhance my Agility. And I wasn't the one that received the attack either, but a shield, a blazing shield made of golden flames, all composed of my own Soul Ether. If I was now able to make spears, shaping the spears into a shield wasn't so hard either. However, Kate's mechs had also helped, she used their destroyed remains to further reinforce the shield, making it possible to resist such a strong attack. She truly helped till the end!

"I have to thank you, you damn dog. You taught me a really useful Technique." I smiled. "Not even the Light Dragons taught me this… I'll call it [Soul Ether Manipulation Arts]"

With a proud smile, all nine of my draconic heads charged all of my power at once, releasing nine dragon breaths at once. The fox's azure eyes widened in horror as its entire body was engulfed on a huge explosion.

BOOOM!!

"Are you two okay?" I asked, looking back at Miranda and Benladann. "That thing was sure tough."

"It was more than tough; it was really annoying…" Benladann sighed. "I am not used to fight such quick foes."

"Me neither, this is- Ah! DRAKE!"

Suddenly, I felt a presence rushing behind me, a huge spear made of pure soul ether was directed towards my chest, the core of my soul! Before it struck me, however, Miranda's tail caught it midair. The explosion of Soul Energy blew off her tail, as she screamed in pain, her Miasmic Tentacles engulfed the fox, trapping it on an endless mound of sludge.

"Ugh…! Damn fucking thing, it didn't die yet!" She groaned.

"RAAARRGH!" The fox, barely alive, kept sticking to life even while missing half of its entire body.

"It sure is a King with such resiliency! Let's finish it for real now! Everyone together." With a smile, we all ganged on the fox, restrained by Miranda. Using our weapons, magic, and divine abilities, we hacked its body into countless pieces and pulverized into a pile of shredded remains. It was gruesome, but this damn thing was tougher than the demons! I never knew Divine Soul Beasts could become such deadly threats.

However, once we finally confirmed it died for real, we sighed in relief. I quickly took out some of the Divine Soul Beast meat I had butchered earlier and shared it with Benladann and Miranda. As we ate it, the wounds in our souls slowly regenerated.

This was how we were able to get so far even as every monster could harm our souls easily. I hadn't used my trump card, Divinity Absorption to weaken it because if I did it inside of the Draconic Records, it might have affected the structure of the entire Realm, I cannot completely control its powers and range after all, as it simply absorbs anything it can touch.

Maybe if I could have used it, this fight would have ended much faster, but that's how things are. Although it was cut into pieces, its body was so large that the material left behind was still big enough to make some amazing Soul Gear, so we happily stored the shredded corpse of the Fox and finally walked out of the room.

"How was it? I heard a lot of explosions!" My father screamed.

"Mama! Papa! Are you okay?!" Benladra came running to us.

"I told you they were okay. I was helping." Kate smiled proudly.

"Raarr! RAAR!" Drakda was wagging his tails happily we were back. He ran towards Miranda and started licking her entire face with his three heads.

"Ouch, Drakda, wait! Ugh, you're so heavy on your dragon form!" Miranda cried. "Incredible, you truly defeated that fox, didn't you?" Fenrir asked. "Well done! That thing has been here for eons, it has been challenged by other ice dragons before, but all of them had to escape, incapable of defeating it on their soul forms."

"Has anybody alive challenged them?" I wondered.

"No, most of the time our living kin is not interested in fighting or hunting soul beasts." Fenrir laughed. "Now, shall we get to the surface? I can sense some monsters coming nearby even as we speak."

"Looks like they sensed the death of the King and immediately want to take their throne for themselves. Let's just get out of here for now." Benladann agreed.

We decided to move back to the surface and meet with my mother there. She congratulated us for our good hunt and didn't mind us taking a bit more than just five hundred. She was particularly proud we hunted that fox.

"That fox was a real piece of work to seal down there, thanks for taking it out for me. Five Kings is too much, four is enough I suppose." She smiled. "Well done, my son." She licked my face with her gigantic tongue. And then she directed her gaze towards my father, smiling at him with a different intention, even winking at him. "You worked well helping them, honey. Maybe tonight we can try making a little sibling for Drake~? Hm~? Are you on the mood~? Because I am."

"Oooh?! S-Sure! Anytime!" My father immediately got pumped up.

Looks like despite how old they are, my parents still got it going, huh. I just can't imagine my father and my mother… Their size difference is so big. My father is truly a brave man, I suppose. He likes big women.

"Ahem! Anyways, shall we cook something?" Benladann smiled.

"Yeah I'm hungry!" Benladra demanded.

"Hm, let's eat." Kate agreed.

"RAAR!" Drakda hit the floor with his long tails.

"Then let the chef make something delicious for everyone! Been a while since you've eaten my cooking, mom, dad, let me make you something good too." I smiled.

"Ooh! Your cooking is always so good, dear! Sure!" My mother smiled happily.

"Anything with meat is good, son." Fafnir nodded.

We enjoyed a big feast together as a family, before deciding to go back home and sleep, tomorrow, we were visiting the Dark Dragon Realm.

And then, I'll make the strongest Soul Gear I can!
