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

—–

Surtr’s doubt was making me grow slightly mad. The kid had talent and strength but doubted about everything too much. So in my anger, I decided to start the fight right away by punching him. I held back, naturally.

But even a held back punch from someone like me was prone to bring a tremendous shockwave of power. So much that I felt slightly guilty, and as my fist reached him with a loud bang, I got my healing magic ready for him.

However… As the smoke dissipated from the impact, I found out my fist impacted a huge shield made out of several black and red scales, which quickly crumbled into pieces, leaving Surtr’s arms covered on blood.

But aside from that, he seemed fine.

“Hahhh… Ungh…! I-I was able to take that hit?!” Surtr’s red eyes opened in shock. His flames quickly covered his wounds, beginning to regenerate them.

“Well done! Didn’t I told you that you had the talent?” I laughed. “Now, this is just starting!”

My Magic Aura surged from my body like an endless sea of blue and gray colors. Icicle Spears materialized in mere seconds, hundreds of them, as I launched them against him.

“[Icicle Spear Storm]!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

“Eh?! D-Didn’t you said you were using weak magic?!”

Surtr panicked, flying around rapidly while evading my Icicle Spears, which kept chasing him and impacting his body with explosions of frost that spread across his body!

“Yeah, this is probably the weakest spell I can conjure. Even as much as I wish it to be weak, this is the limit.” I laughed.

I wasn’t lying. This was just the same Icicle Spears I used when I was a baby dragon. Even when I held back my strength to the limits, the minimum power was this one. Enhancing the projectiles to several times their original size and making them naturally follow a foe.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

“AARGHH…!” Surtr screamed.

“Come now, Surtr.” I sighed. “Do you think you will be able to protect those you love with that attitude?”

I quickly gathered more ice above my body, creating a huge mass of frost, overflowing with just Mana, not a hint of Divine Power. Usually this magic won’t even make a dent on Rank 7 and above Divine Beasts, so it shouldn’t hurt that much.

“Here, have a bit more of motivation! [Frozen Star]!”

I launched the huge sphere of ice towards him, the moment it impacted him while trying to evade the Icicle Spears, a huge explosion of pure frost spread across the skies, consuming everything, and Surtr as well.

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

A lot of frozen smoke spread around, as I noticed Surtr’s entire body falling from the skies, almost completely turned into an ice statue. He was still alive but seemed to have been completely knocked out.

Dammit, I held back as much as possible and even then he lost so easily?!

“At this point it feels like I’m just bullying you.” I sighed. “Let’s just stop for now-“

FLUOSH!

However, I quickly had to take back my words, as I saw powerful red flames surging from within the cracks of the ice covering his body. With a loud explosion of fire, Surtr’s entire body healed back up, and not only that, but all the ice was also gone.

Crack… crack… CRAAAASSH!!!

“RAAAAAHHHH!!!” Surtr roared with fury, his eyes glowing completely red. It seemed as if he had gone berserk.

His entire body was covered on so many flames that it seemed as if he had become a blazing meteor, which quickly blazed towards me with as much speed as he could.

BAAAAAAMMM…!

The impact of his whole body alone as it hit my scales was strong. I felt several of my scales beginning to burn and melt before the might of his unique fire.

“Not bad!” I laughed, quickly giving him a kick, and throwing him down into the floor.

CLAAAAASSSH!!!

“UAAARGHH…!”

BAAAAMM…!

His body hit the ground below, setting ablaze the grass and the nearby forest. Flames spreading everywhere. He took that kick really well, because the youngling instantly stood back up, flames flickering wildly and madly around his entire body.

“ROOOOAAAARRR!”

With a loud roar, the flames that spread around the entire surroundings gathered into his body and were instantly absorbed, something that surprised me.

FLUOOOSH!

“[Blazing Infernal Vortex]!!!”

FLASH!

He instantly flew into the skies, pointing his claws at me as he unleashed all the flames he had gathered at once. A powerful vortex of Origin Flames engulfed my entire body!

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

I felt the flames viciously trying to devour me, absorbing my Mana and Vitality rapidly. They were also able to melt my scales, an incredible feat… Of course, these were my lowest defense scales, I could create even sturdier ones if I wanted.

“Hahahaha! Not bad!” I laughed in between the flames, Surtr’s face was shocked to find out that I was relaxed.

𝑂𝐯𝗅xt.𝐜𝞸𝑀

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

I waved my hands carefreely, a tremendous quantity of divine power surged from within them, quickly extinguishing all the flames at once.

“Come on, we’re just starting.” I smiled.

“Fine…” Surtr said. “I was also just starting myself!” A smile surged on the fire dragon. “[Divine Origin Flames Magic]: [Infernal Apocalypse]!”

FLAAASH!

Surtr greeted me with an utterly ridiculous spectacle. All of his surroundings instantly turned into flames, covering the night sky with red and white flames that merged into golden flames. All of such flames came rushing towards me like an endless wave.

FLUOOOOOSSSH!!!

“Amazing!” I laughed, greeting him with a basic divine ice spell. “[Divine Ice Magic]: [Frozen Sea]!”

A huge sea of frozen water surged from within my divine aura, swiftly clashing against Surtr’s Infernal Apocalypse, both powerful opposite forces generating huge shockwaves as they exploded.

BOOOOOOOMMMMM…!

“[Divine Blazing Dragon Soul Summoning]: [Infernal Dragon Triad Manifestation]!”

Surtr flew right in front of me, as I saw three divine fire dragon souls merging with his magic flames at once, his Domain of fire swiftly shapeshifting into three gigantic dragons made of flames, as all three of them attacked me at once.

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOMM! BOOOOMMM!!!
