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

—–

Benladra and Kate confronted Greenwood at long last, glaring at him ferociously. Hiding behind a swarm of fly-like drones, he commanded the three enormous cyborgs to move forward. The tallest was over a hundred meters, merely named Brute, while the female one, who was only around seventy meters, was named Beauty, and lastly, the third and smallest of the three, who was roughly fifty meters of height, was named Rogue.

Greenwood had experimented and used many resources to create them, using even divine monsters as materials and the bodies and souls of Unique Skill users he had captured and modified. Although their personalities and minds were completely shattered, new ones resurfaced as they were reborn as these mechanical creatures.

“Then let us begin!” Laughed Beauty.

“Indeed!” Rogue said.

FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, both moved at extreme speeds, so fast they suddenly disappeared from the sight of Benladra and Kate in a mere instant.

“W-Wha… Where did they go?!” Asked Benladra, glancing around.

“Benladra, watch out!” Kate panicked.

CLAAAASH!

Brute charged forwards without even moving speedily like his allies. He was designed as that, a brute, he charged without looking for any weakness or for them to lower their guard, and used his brutish strength and defense to overpower foes.

“You seem to be forgetting about somebody!”

Brute’s enormous fists, which were bigger than the two girl’s heads themselves, moved rapidly, like giant cannons, they started smashing both dragons continously with meteoric strikes of incredibly potent power!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAAASH!

“AAAGH…!” Kate cried, suddenly being pushed down once more.

“Kate!” Benladra cried, as she saw her little sister putting herself in front of her to protect her, she only grew more frustrated.

FLASH! FLASH!

However, before Benladra could have any time to retaliate, Beauty and Rogue appeared to her left and right, Beauty using her sharp and long needle-like legs to unleash hundreds of consecutive, piercing blows at Benladra, while Rogue utilized his potent magic and wings to unleash a barrage of feather projectiles!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

“Uuggh…!” Benladra desperately conjured barriers to protect herself, using her Mana and Divine Power, which had already been going down since her fight against the Chaotic Plane Beast.

“Your defenses are nothing before my might!!” However, Brute laughed, rushing forward and immediately shattering Benladra’s barriers with his powerful fists without even struggling!

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!

“AAAGH! ROAAARRR!” Benladra grew desperately, roaring ferociously as she fired countless rays of light against Brute, Beauty, and Rogue.

“Hehehe, she’s growing desperate!” Rogue mocked her.

“So cute~!” Beauty laughed.

Both of the speedy fighters evaded all attacks, moving away at a flashing speed that Benladra wasn’t able to follow completely.

Meanwhile, Brute merely tanked all the hits and continued attempting to hit her once more with his gigantic fists.

Greenwood smiled, glancing at the scene.

“I bet she must be surprised that her powerful barriers were so easily broken.” He thought. “Well, it is thanks to Brute’s special Unique Skill that makes him into someone perfect to be in the frontlines and take all hits, [Mold Breaker]. Originally, I thought this power was useless, but what the original wielder lacked was a resilient body, powerful enough to abuse this skill!”

Mold Breaker was a straightforward ability, it allowed someone to break through the defenses of any magic, shield, armor, or anything at all with brute force. However, a required amount of strength was needed for that, which the original wielder, who used to be a human, lacked.

Every test showed his body breaking down, incapable of being able to resist the “backlash” that was produced by breaking and cancelling the defensive prowess of an object or magic, but once Greenwood gave him a resilient, near indestructible metallic body… it suddenly turned into an incredibly powerful ability.

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

Benladra clashed against Brute using her claws, unleashing slashes of Heavenly Light against his gigantic fists. However, her dragon claws shattered into tiny pieces whenever Brute blocked her attacks or punched back against her.

Although she had inherited a Pseudo Immortal Body like her father, it worked by using Mana and Divine Power, something she was slowly losing, and her rate of self-regeneration and absorption of mana from her surroundings was being disrupted by something else…

“Hahhh… Ugh…! My energy is never recovering…” Benladra realized it, suddenly noticing a weird, purple, and pink mist spreading everywhere in the skies.

“Fufu, of course you’re feeling tired, dear~” Beauty said, suddenly showing up behind Benladra.

“Eh? G-Get away! RAAAARRR!” Benladra desperately attacked Beauty, only for her to immediately evade her hits and disappear with her insane speed.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

“Heh, that’s Beauty’s [Quick Step] and [Nullification Mist]…” Greenwood thought, analyzing his creations. “Quick Step allows Beauty to move so fast she can skip through space, meanwhile, Nullification Mist allows her to create a mist that can nullify self-regeneration of energy and enhancements. It is also affecting her allies, but they don’t rely on them anyways.”

“Hahahaha! You’re struggling so badly, kid! Just give up!” Laughed Rogue, suddenly emerging above Benladra and descending with his beak down like a piecing spear!

“RAAARRGH!”

CLAAAAASSHHH!!!

Benladra barely intercepted the attack with her own golden claws which had regrown over time by spending whatever mana left she had, however, they instantly shattered once more, as she swiftly evaded a lethal attack that could had killed her.

SPLAAASH!

Rogue fell into the sea, emerging from within in a single second and rushing against Benladra again, pointing his sharp beak at her!

𝑶𝓥𝓛xt.𝑐𝐎𝚖

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

He emerged around her constantly, attempting to pierce her. His powerful piercing attacks weren’t just born from his mere body though.

“Heh, and this is Rogue’s [Sky Walk] and [Piercing Blow]!” Laughed Greenwood internally, silently analyzing the battle. “Both Unique Skills are not that good, providing only the ability to walk in midair and skip space similar to Quick Step, while Piercing Blow enhances the power of piercing attacks and allows them to ignore half the durability of a target… However, given a nimble and small body that can fly rapidly like a bird, the combination becomes incredibly lethal!”

As Greenwood amused himself with his creations, he had forgotten about a certain someone… Just like Drake sometimes said, Greenwood is an incredibly intelligent man, but oftentimes, he gets tunnel vision, and often ends up ignoring other factors when he concentrates too much into something else…

The figure of a little spirit girl appeared right behind him and his swarm, as she spread out an aura of technomancy and system divinities combined together!

“[Technomancy Hacking]!”

FLAAAAASH!

“Huh?!”

Greenwood glared at Kate in shock, as he saw her emerge out of thin air as if she were a ghost and exuding a power that suddenly hacked over half of his creations in just a split of a second. His swarm suddenly becoming hers!

“Y-You! How is it possible that YOU can use Technomancy Magic?!” Asked Greenwood. “Dammit!”

He swiftly flew away from Kate, only to be greeted with his own creations attacking him, a swarm of hundreds of bug-like mechas started firing lasers at him!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“Uuuaaagggh! Y-You useless pieces of metal, protect me!” Greenwood cried, calling his cyborgs that were using all their strength to overwhelm Benladra.
