Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1858

Kate hacked Victoriano's robotic body and managed to paralyze his response for a couple of a split second, although his robotic tentacles moved independently, that didn't matter.

"Shatter it, Benladra!"

"Gotcha!"

At Kate's command, Benladra's giant dragon claws grabbed the crystalline core, shattering it into pieces.

Crack, crack...!

"W-WAIT...! WAAAAIT!"

CRAAASH!

As Benladra shattered the core, the accumulated electricity within the malicious doctor's mechanical body could not be held anymore, exploding from the inside out, and destroying the mechanical doctor once and for all.

BOOOMMM!!!

His entire body came undone, as the explosion even reached his brain, blasting it into smithereens before he could even fathom another thought.

"W-We barely did it..." sighed Benladra in relief.

"Hm, we did good," nodded Kate. "Though, papa never came to help..."

A blue slime was watching from behind the two dragon girls, who finally defeated the doctor before he was to become an even worse threat.

"Dad? Well, he's been watching this entire time," said Benladra, pointing at the slime. "Right?"

"Hahah, you caught me!" said Drake. "I thought that it was a fine challenge for the two of you to take care of. Consider it a small dragon test, alright?"

"Dad, did you really had to just watch though?!" Benladra asked angrily. "It would have been a lot easier with your help!"

"Papa owes me cheesecake now," said Kate, she looked a bit bothered over Drake's inaction at the end.

"Sorry, sorry," Drake laughed. "Indeed, I could have helped you, but I wanted to see what you two would figure out at the end... And well, you kind of grew stronger from that, right? You've figured out how to fight better with your abilities, Benladra, and your Esper Ability seems to be slowly awakening. And Kate has learned to better adapt, copy, and transform her abilities and powers to fight different foes. Also that giant mech is cool!"

Drake could have indeed come to help them, but after seeing how they were handling things well on their own, and with the assistance of his Spirits, he simply sat down and observed how his daughters could solve this problem.

"I would've stepped out if something truly dangerous would have happened," he said. "You know I would, right? I am not sadistic or something. I love you two and just wanted to use this opportunity to see how far you could grow. Struggles and battles is how we develop our abilities after all. No matter how much we can prepare for something, we'll never be able to know how to handle that unless we experience it first-hand."

"Right, I guess you're not wrong," nodded Benladra. "But as Kate said, you owe me some cake or something. I want something sweet!"

"Strawberry Cheesecake, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, and Chocolate Donuts," Kate immediately started what she wanted.

"Hahaha, alright, come, let's eat before anything else happens, it seems that the whole train calmed down after we took care of them," said Drake.

The little slime ran away, deciding to explore the train more, while Drake greeted his

daughters with his main body.

The morning was already here, as the sun rose from the horizon slowly, Miranda, Drakda, and Benladann slowly woke up.

"Is it morning already?" wondered Benladann. "W-When is this train getting to its

destination?!" she yawned.

"Probably in a couple of hours," said Drake.

"Nom, nom, nom...! Good morning mum!"

"Nam... Hi."

Benladra and Kate were already eating breakfast, devouring a bunch of pastries Drake had left over a wooden table for them.

He didn't even need to carry them inside his inventory, using his Breath of Creation, he was able to easily replicate food like this, which had no special components and was mostly normal meals.

Being able to create food was pretty amazing, although not the easiest, he had a hard time creating anything he couldn't imagine very well, so complex dishes and so on were impossible.

However for that he could simply cook, although he didn't even want to do that, as a person that attended the train came here, bringing them a paid breakfast that came included with the

ticket.

"Good morning," she said, it was a red-haired beast girl of the dog race with brown fur and gentle eyes, placing the things in the table, she looked a bit nervous.

"Wait..." Benladann suddenly stopped her from walking away. "Are you that girl? Henrietita,

right?"

"E-Eh?!" the girl gasped. "I-I...!"

"Not that I look at her better, she has the same face!" Miranda nodded. "Did you dye your hair red? It looks nice on you."

"It's really you!" nodded Drake. "I can recognize that Aura... Oh, you really changed with that red hair- Wait a second, you're working in this train?"

"I-I... Yes..." sighed Henrietita. "I'm happy to see you all! B-But I wanted to pretend we didn't know each other... I didn't want to bother you."

"You're not bothering anyone!" said Benladra. "I'm glad you're doing ok, is this a new job?"

"Yes! A-After what happened, with dad, we decided to move out of the city," said Henrietita. "Dad is on his own seat sleeping right now I bet. While I was able to get a job as a waitress and helper because there were a couple of girls that ended dropping the job after the train got stuck, and never came back once everything was fixed. The pay is really good, and it'll help us kickstart our new lives a bit better!"

"Well, that's amazing, but didn't we give you a lot of the money the bandits had?" wondered

Drake.

"Yeah, but we spent a good sum of it buying the tickets from a reseller, it was all sold out when we tried to get in," she sighed. "We were desperate to run away with dad, so we ended... buying it for a hefty price."

"Damn, well, I'm glad you're doing alright though!" said Drake. "But this is also not a good thing... This train's very dangerous, Henrietita. There are outlaws everywhere killing each

other. Be careful."

"I've heard that there were some fights, yes..." she sighed. "Don't worry mister Drake, I can run very quickly! A-Anyways, I have to get going, there's many more breakfasts I must give!" "Hey! Where's my breakfast?!" a person from another seat called.

"A-Ah, coming!" she said, running to give them the free breakfast.

Just to make sure, Drake made one of the blue slimes follow Henrietita and protect her from

danger.
