Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1811

After walking out of Larry's shop, I looked at the system window and nodded, I guess all of that information I learned was enough to get the last requirement done.

Ding!

[After completing the last Side Quest, you will be granted rewards based on completion speed and timing, alongside being given your next Quest.]

So I get rewards too? Well that sounds more fun. Actually they're based on timing?! So maybe we should hurry the fuck up then!

Though, anyways, what's even the point of the Race for us anyways? That race where all the outlaws, sherifs, and bounty hunters are going... Wait why are sherifs stepping out of their towns for a race?

I guess they're like heroes of justice in this world... It is indeed an exaggerated version of an already exaggerated wild west world and narrative from these old movies.

Plus a lot of sci-fi and other stuff, giving it a very unique twist...

Well, whatever the case, it doesn't take a genius to realize the trial wants me to go to that

race.

That Whalebug even showed up out of nowhere just to stop the train so we could get there, the race was even delayed!

Perhaps the trial is all about this race and the opponents we'll meet? We don't have much time though, the break before the last trial of the inheritance is only five days.

So far, I think we only got two more days to complete this or we would be edging way too much towards the last couple hours. I want at least a day to prepare.

After all that last trial ain't going to be just about completing it, I'll have to fight Pandemonium to death most likely, and seeing how strong he is, I cannot slack around and waste my time.

"Alright, we're done here," I said, walking towards my family. "Emil, how do you feel so far?"

"Ah, I'm fine," he nodded. "Just a bit... well, tired. But I'm fine, thank you."

"Alright," I said. "Miranda, did you get the info?"

"All done," she smiled confidently, crossing her arms. "Apparently this whole place is underground, and it's controlled by a large underworld empire where those thugs branched from. So they all ultimately have the same "boss" or something."

"So if we destroy their place yet again will they have a beef with us?" Benladann asked.

"Yeah most likely," said Miranda. "I bet they even got cameras and stuff; it'll be hard to come out without being detected anyways."

"I could help disable the cameras," said Kate.

"Oh? You can do it little Kate?" Miranda wondered.

"I could try..." my daughter said. "But I don't know if it will one hundred percent work."

"Sure, that you can give it a try is enough for me," I said. "Thank you Kate."

"Hm," she smiled cutely, I couldn't help but pat her little head.

"Is this really okay?" Emil suddenly walked to our side. "To risk yourselves becoming enemies of a whole... company in the underworld? This is... Maybe I should reconsider it."

"We were going to fight all of them eventually anyways," I said. "So we might as well do this and weaken them even further. They're already going to target us one way or another, and they're already our enemies. So nothing changes, Emil... But if you're afraid of revealing your identity and becoming their target, that can be easily fixed with a mask or something."

"Ah... B-But..." Emil felt slightly guilty, I understood why he did, but there wasn't really any point in delving around it.

He reminded me a bit of Emerald's personality, he has tremendous potential seeing how much Psychic Energy is coming from him without him realizing, but he's cowardly and timid

by nature, so he can't get all of that power out normally.

"Don't worry!" said Benladra. "We're really really strong! And we'll protect you!"

"Yeah, don't worry," Kate nodded.

"Cwybawy!" Drakda, however, mocked him.

My son just called Emil a "crybaby"?!

Although I wanted to reprimand him I couldn't help but laugh internally.

Is my son growing up to be a bully?

Thankfully Emil didn't understand what he said so he didn't really paid attention to him.

"Haahh... I just want to rescue my mom and my dad, if they're even alive," he sighed. "I'll do whatever you say..."

"Alright then, Miranda, we should get going," said Benladann. "Can you guide us there?"

"Yeah, can you?" I asked.

"I can, sure," she nodded. "Let's go, we can't waste any more precious time on idle chat."

She quickly spread out her wings and flew into the skies, we followed her.

"W-Wait! Uwaah?!"

Emily panicked as Benladra grabbed him like a princess and carried him in her arms.

She definitely looks like a 9- to 10-year-old girl, but her humanoid form is an Ice Giant too, so she's huge despite that.

It was easy for her to carry such a delicate and small-looking young alien man.

"Don't worry I got a strong grip!" Benladra giggled. "But don't move too much or you might

fall! Ok?"

"O-ok..." Emil gulped saliva as he saw the city from above the skies.

Miranda led us through the city's skies until we reached the northwest sector, where there was the worst red district areas, full of crime and such.

We quickly reached a dark alley which was full of thugs that immediately glared at us with disbelief that we just got here from the skies.

There was a dozen, and although they seemed like homeless people or random thugs, it was obvious they were all guarding this alley.

"It's through this place," said Miranda. "Over there."

She pointed at the end of the alley, there was an abandoned house.

"Oi, oi, who the hell are you guys?"

"Get out of our turf!"

"Hey this is our place..."

The thugs approached immediately like moths to flames.
