Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1847

As Drake was finally trying to relax and appreciate the scenery, a system notification quickly made him more alert.

Ding!

[You have progressed through the Trial and have finally reached the Second Stage of the Trial!]

[A {Special Trial Storyline Quest} has been generated: [The Blood-Stained Railroad Trip] [After having survived a swarm of monstrous aliens, infiltrated a city full of lawlessness, and having saved many unfortunate people from evildoers, your family is finally on their way to reach the Golden Spire Race, where all the strongest and craziest of people all around the Wildest West will gather up to race and put their lives on the line.]

[The one that wins will receive a tremendous prize in money, enough to guarantee the rest of their lives in comfort and without any more worries. However, to get there, you must first survive the trip to the area where the race will begin.]

[You and your family now find yourselves inside of a Train packed full of the most dangerous people of this entire world, assassins, hitmen, criminals, bandits, thieves, psychopaths, and more. All here for the sole purpose of winning the race.]

[And of course, if it wasn't because of the aforementioned reasons, they would get along and wait until the race began... However, to make things easier, they may begin killing each other to cut down the competition even if a little bit more.]

[Your Goal? Survive until you reach your destination. With additional Missions that'll increase your total score at the end of this Stage Trial Quest, once its completed and you survive, that's it.]

[Survive The Trip To The Golden Spire]: [0/1]

[Defeat 3 Golden Spire Participants]: [0/3]

[Protect the Train! Don't Let It Lose More Than Three Railroad Cars]: [0/10]

[Defeat "The Bullet Demon"]: [0/1]

[Defeat "Insane Siblings Paprica And Johnsie"]: [0/2]

[Quest Duration: 5 Hours]

[Time is tickling! If you can't complete any of these bonus quests before the time limit, you will lose important score points necessary for your Class Change.]

"There it is... And it's damn long."

This time, the primary objective was surviving, Drake nodded, feeling like it was rather obvious. They weren't tourist in a wild west city anymore after all.

In fact, he could simply sit down and relax and just let the train reach its destination while letting everything else happen.

Like this he would pass the trial without problems...

But the thing is, he wouldn't earn any damn points like that, and the growth of his family and himself depended on this.

If he wanted to be able to stand against a complete monster like Pandemonium, he needed as much power as possible, and even more than that.

Pandemonium had threatened to kill his entire family after all, their lives, everyone, depended on how strong they could get in this Trial.

If he doesn't have the power to stop him, everything will be lost.

And he cannot let that happen.

Drake gritted his teeth, as his fists clenched tightly.

He glared at the door of the railroad car where he and his family were.

The majority of people were sleeping right now.

Most were normal people, some had slightly strong Auras, but they were all small fry.

He couldn't really identify who was a participant of the race and who wasn't...

And he wasn't going to start killing random people to find out either.

He'll simply create a bait, so they come for him.

"Alright, how about this?"

He smiled, quickly fusing dozens of tiny slimes and moving them to railroad before his own, quickly creating a Doppelganger sharing 50% of his stats and all his powers.

He walked through the railroad silently, barely making a sound.

Despite that, his Aura expanded lightly.

Only so the very strong people could feel it.

"Come on, I know you all want to kill each other already."

Drake continued walking, until suddenly.

"Hey."

A voice echoed from his left.

A man wearing red pants and brown cowboy hat called him.

He was a human, covering half his face with black cloth.

His eyes were blue, and his hair was blonde.

Drake directed his gaze towards him.

"What?" he asked.

"Where are you going?" the man asked.

"To the bathroom," Drake continued walking.

Clack!

Suddenly, the sound of a gun being readied to shot echoed behind Drake, as the man pointed the gun to his head.

"You're participating in the trial, aren't you?"

Drake could immediately sense his bloodthirst, the bait worked really well already.

"Yeah, why?"

Drake provoked him, without even looking scared.

The man squinted his eyes.

And then, without hesitation...

BAAANG!

A bullet shot right through Drake's head.

A sharpshooter bastard with good aim, he would've definitely killed someone normal.

Drake could have also chosen to evade the bullet, but he didn't want it to break the window

behind him.

At the sound of the bullet being shot, the normal people in the railroad car started panicking,

screaming.

"Uuaagh!"

"What was that?!"

"Someone's fighting?!"

"Run!"

They quickly started running to the adjacent cars, as the blonde man's eyes widened, noticing

Drake looked back at him.

The hole on his head slowly regenerated, as the bullet that he shot in the middle of his brain

slowly was pulled out, falling into the floor.

Clank!

"Quite eager to kill, aren't you?" he laughed.

"W-Wha...?!" the man was shocked, quickly shooting more bullets as he stood up.

Drake walked through the bullets, some pierce, others didn't.

He swung his tail against him.

SLASH!

Using the blade-shaped tip, he sliced the man's arm.

"Uuaaagh! W-What the fuck?!"

As he cried in horror and was about to pull another gun.

ВАААМ!

Drake punched his face and sent him down, dying instantly.

"Ah, he died already, I was trying to control my strength there and at least just knock him

-out."

Drake quickly took all the weapons from the body and then threw him out of the window.

"A job's well done, one out of three- Huh?"

Yet right after that, another two people appeared.

They glared at him with maniac smiles.

"Hey Paprica, my honey, I think we found a bigshot."

"We did, didn't we my pudding?!"

As they giggled, the man took out a rifle, and the woman a huge machinegun.

[Defeat "Insane Siblings Paprica And Johnsie"]: [0/2]

"Ah, there they are... That was fast."
