Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1840

Drake couldn't tell anymore.

Was this a Dream?

Was this an Illusion?

Or was this all Real?

Because right now, he was fighting a being that transcended dimension.

At that moment, he realized, that without a doubt, this wasn't a dream, nor an illusion.

This world, this trial, it was somewhat all real.

Yet, at the same time, it also felt... strangely ethereal.

It was certainly not the same type of "complete, physical world" that Yggdrasil was.

But something different, yet at the same time, similarly as expansive and alive.

Nonetheless, to complete the first half of the trial, he was still a bit surprised he had to end up fighting such a creature.

"The reward better be good!"

Crack, crack...!

CRAAASH!

The gigantic crimson crack in space fully opened the moment the Esper God was fully destroyed, or well, only his first half.

Extradimensional beings lived in two or more dimensions at the same time. As Belle had said, they were virtually "immortal" unless you could somehow reach the other dimension and destroy that body too.

Some beings like these, which Drake had already fought, included the Inhabitants of the Chaotic Realm, who no matter how damaged they were, never died through normal means.

However, Drake knew that the ones that remained across the world weren't as many as the ones that invaded anymore.

This meant that there were many that were fully killed, slain!

And so Drake was going to do the same with the Esper God.

"GRYYYYYYYHHHHH!"

An ear-wrenching sound echoed from the crack, a sound that shattered dimensions and destroyed all physical matter within the range of this entity.

It slid off the crack, amorphous, with no proper shape, it was a constant... explosion of neon colors constantly moving where it desired to move.

Just by simply looking at it, everyone's minds felt like they were having nightmares, and even their brains would begin feeling damage.

Drake, however, stood there unfaced.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you."

He quickly unleashed the power he had saved for this occasion.

It was all or nothing!

"{Mimicry}"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the entity before him jumped towards him, aiming to erase his existence by destroying all of his matter within a split second.

Yet...

CRAAASH!

The moment it touched Drake, moving faster than his entire family could hope to see, Drake's body changed.

He felt like he started melting...

"Ahh... This is... weird."

Most of his body began to transform- no, it had already instantly transformed.

A mass of colors twisting endlessly, amorphous.

Sometimes one could see several giant heads screaming, other times, it was just eyes.

Another times, a group of people wailing.

Then it would turn into a mass of tentacles, a sea star, a giant shark and then back into nothing.

It had an undefined shape, and it simply took the shape of the "essence" within Drake.

Through Mimicry, he was able to gain 50% of the power of his foe, and also half of their abilities.

Drake had simply not gone mad yet because half of him still remained.

Although the other half was simply... incomprehensible now, as if he had been split into two separate organisms.

"I'm really incompatible with your kind..." he sighed. "But this'll do!"

He swung his amorphous body, his lower half remained like his dragon legs and tail, giving him a very bizarre appearance.

CLAAASH!

RUMBLE!

Space and time melted, the colors exploded against one another, Drake's family glanced from

a distance, unable to interact with what was happening!

"Just what's going on?!" Benladra cried. "Dad... where's dad?!"

"I can only see colors clashing against each other..." Benladann said.

"Ugh, this is ugly to see!" said Miranda. "But I kind of get it I think? He's fighting against the aberration! They seem evenly matched but... that thing hasn't even come out fully! It's core, the heart of its own existence, still remains in the Dimension where only Psychic Energy can

exist!"

"So it'll continue to regenerate like before?" asked Benladra.

"No, it's dying..." Kate could also see what was happening to an extent. "But it'll end up killing dad before it will die... It's too strong. Dad can only copy half of its power."

"Then we have to get there and..." Benladann muttered. "Destroy the core for him."

"It won't work, we can't even go to that dimension! We'll be disintegrated," said Miranda. "Only beings entirely made out of Psychic Energy can... Wait a minute! I think I got an idea."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Drake fully focused on his battle, expanding his melting body across every angle possible, and intercepting the incoming tentacle-like and hand-shaped attacks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions of colors erupted, space and time continued melting with each of their attacks, the very structure of their surroundings changing, resembling a cosmic star-filled sea.

"GRYYYEEEHH!"

The monstrosity beyond dimensions continued screaming, as Drake rushed forward, quickly transforming his amorphous form into a massive arm with an even stronger-looking fist. And doing what he does best, punching the thing with all his strength!

BAAAMMM!!!

"GRUUAAEERGH!"

The creature screamed in agony, its body rapidly being torn to shreds, but at the same time,

Drake sensed his own being disappearing.

And this time it wasn't recovering.

"Hahh... That thing...!"

Drake focused, summoning Celestia, and swinging her against the entity, unleashing a barrage of slashing techniques and unleashing Order upon the beast.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

However, the Domain or Order shattered into pieces and the entity reached his sword,

clashing against it.

"UGHH!" Celestia screamed in pain, as Drake noticed small bruises in her metallic blade.

"Celestia! Are you okay? Can you do it?"

"I... can! Don't worry, I'll regenerate it back, I can do that! Keep fighting! Don't let that thing

give another step!"

"RAAAHHH!"

Drake roared, combining his amorphous body attacks with his sword techniques, divine

spells, divine abilities, psychic powers, and everything else he could.

A bombardment of attacks from every angle reached the creature, slowly beginning to tear

apart its existence.

But at the same time, Drake was also being rapidly eroded from existence.

Meanwhile, away from their battle, an accumulation of Drake's family and Emil's Psychic

Power was born, condensing into an entity of its own.

A temporary summon, a Psychic Spirit!

Commanded with the minds and thoughts of everyone, it jumped into the crimson crack,

reaching the Esper Dimension.

FLASH!

"It's there!"

And they saw it, a white and red marble floating amidst an endless sea of colors...
