Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

—–

CRASH!

The deadly presence of the Deep One within the depths of the city of Aquarius felt deeply pained, as he felt one of his Soul Fragments, one of the four parts of his original powers which were sealed within Stigmas was completely taken over by a force he had never seen before.

“T-This power…?! It has completely eliminated my own Will from my Soul Fragment?! It has no longer any memories, any fragment of a personality behind!” The Deep One said furiously. “I… It has been taken away from me!”

The Deep One roared in fury, shaking the entire castle atop the area where he was sealed. The Queen of the Queendom sensed his rage as she felt his oracles within the Blue Orb Fragment.

“Oh, my Lord! What is it?! What is happening?!”

She began asking for an answer to his anger and frustration, until he finally decided to answer.

FLUOSH!

A mass of Divine Power coming from the Fragment emerged, quickly turning completely black and gaining several red eyes and tentacles.

“They have taken away my power permanently. I don’t know how, but those damned Dragons have figured a way! That damn brat’s Stigma, it has been completely purified from my Will!” The Deep One roared.

“What?! T-That’s impossible! How could they?!” The Queen panicked.

“Quickly find more subjects, anybody! Bring all your guards, all your knights, your servants! The most qualified ones shall receive my blessed armor and weapons, make sure to find them and crush them, no matter the cost!” The Deep One said.

“Y-Yes my lord! Immediately! We cannot allow these foreigners to stop the resurrection of our God. I won’t allow it, even if we must kill our own bloodline if necessary.” The Queen said.

“And as for me… Well, if they’re truly willing to go to the Sealed Dungeon where the last Fragment remains, then I won’t simply stand here.” The Deep One laughed. “And there’s an Ideal Vessel there as well…”

(Drake’s POV)

Things ended surprisingly faster. Benladra and Kate managed to help Coral and Rose, and Rose was finally freed from the darkness surging from her own Stigma, which was what had affected her heart, making her emotions and her powers transform and provoke what had happened there.

Apparently, from what I saw myself using a Slime that accompanied my daughters, the Deep One had taken the opportunity to possess Rose’s body when she was in her weakest emotional state, the damn bastard.

However, just as I expected, my daughters not only were able to help them defeat him, but Kate and Benladra figured a way to completely destroy the Deep One’s will while keeping his sealed powers within Rose, making it so she’s no longer threatened, while keeping the powers.

“Incredible, I can’t believe this was possible all along…” Sapphire was shocked after learning what had truly happened. My daughters did a good job at explaining what happened, and Coral and Rose as well.

Of course, because they all did a good job, I rewarded them with tasty pastries and ice cream for dessert, which they were happily eating.

“Nn!” Kate nodded. “This is unique power… I got from mama.”

“Your mama? You mean Benladann?” Wondered Sapphire.

“Benladann is mama too, but other mama.” Kate said.

“Huh?” Sapphire felt even more confused.

“Her mother is… well, a unique Spirit that resides in my soul.” I said. “Due to a battle I had against a powerful foe back then when I had yet to ascend into a God, she gave me too much of her powers, and ended being affected. She lost her memories, but we’re slowly trying to make her regain them over time, Kate has her mother’s powers plus mine, which created completely new abilities and magic altogether.”

“I-I see…” Sapphire felt slightly confused. “So she’s a half-spirit and half-dragon, interesting.”

“Nn! I can do it for you too…” Kate said.

“Y-You can do it even with my Stigma? I think the Deep One has been incapable of infiltrating inside of this one due to being maintained with my powers, but perhaps, it would be better to get rid of him preemptively.”

“I agree!” Said Benladra.

“Then let’s get it over with, Kate.” I said.

“Nn!” Kate flew towards Sapphire and then touched her hand with the Stigma.

FLAAAASH!

A bright white light emerged from her tiny hands, imbuing it into the old mermaid’s Stigma and hand, as countless blue circuits appeared one after the other…

“[Divine Soul Hacking]!”

FLUOOOOSH!

Suddenly, a large mass of darkness emerged from within Sapphire’s Stigma, it was the Deep One’s will within his Soul Fragment sealed in the Stigma!

“Y-YOUUUU…! AAAGGGH…! GUAAAAAAHHH…!”

BOOOOOOMMM!!!!

The power of Kate didn’t even let him speak, and because Sapphire was so strong, she easily kept him weakened, giving my daughter enough time to easily purify everything, Benladra helped as well using her Heavenly Magic.

“And it’s done!” Said Benladra.𝔬𝓋𝑙xt.𝔠𝑜𝐦

“Nn! Done.” Kate nodded.

“A-Amazing, his darkness, all of his will, it is all gone! What remains are his powers as a clean slate… This is incredible.” Sapphire felt amazed. “Thank you so much… Now I feel indebted with you… Here, please come with me. Before we depart into the Dungeon, I would like to share some of the treasures we hold.”

“Oh, treasures?” Wondered Benladra.

“Loot!” Kate celebrated.

The two girls already had plenty of equipment they gained in the Yggdrasil Dream Dungeon, but I guess getting them something a bit better wouldn’t be so bad either.

“Master you better not replace us!” Skadi said.

“Skadi don’t be so jealous…” Uller sighed.

“I just don’t want to be replaced!!” Skadi continued crying.

“Haha, don’t worry guys, I don’t plan on replacing you. If anything, I might soon merge you with a few other weapons I’ve accumulated. It is one of the reasons why I’ve been learning Divine Blacksmithing.” I explained to the two.

“Master, thank you… I hope I can get to kill many foes and bathe in their blood soon!” Skadi said.

Well, some things never change.
