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

—–𝔬𝑽𝓁xt.𝒸𝗈𝑚

The ferocious Infernal Divine Beasts rushed in faster than the previous Divine Beasts that had been slain some time ago. Their bodies flaring with black and purple flames, converging together into even more menacing and monstrous shapes.

The only shapes everyone could discern were those of wolf-like, bird-like, and human-like. The fliers were strangely shaped, resembling aberrant chimeras between birds and wyverns, while the wolf-like ones had enormous heads and jaws, some with overly long tails as well.

And the human-like ones were the strongest, most of them being the Rank 10 Infernal Beasts. Their appearances varied from small ones that looked like children, with strong magical power, tall and lanky ones with sharp claws and high speed, and then the largest and heaviest, who held weapons made of their own flames.

For those that had fought and defeated the Four Hounds, it felt as if these human-like Infernal beasts had the shape of them! And even some of their abilities, it was as if they were all weaker mass-produced versions of the Four Hounds.

Hector, Larzak, and Kraxka led a large army of Divine Beasts and Warrior Lizardmen packed with Divine Armor and Divine Weapons, most of these were the warriors that kept training and consuming Divine Potions, mostly being around Rank 8, an Elite Army that Drake had raised carefully.

The trio unleashed a barrage of attacks with their strongest elements. Hector’s light seemed to be the strongest against these beasts, so he made sure to conjure a large Domain of Light to damage the beasts constantly.

His spear, fast movements, and reliable personality made the army they led trust on him the most. Kraxka and Larzak were slightly grumpier, but also strong-hearted.

Kraxka’s combination of Frost and Flame Magic created a devastating wave of explosions and frost. These beasts were powerful at regenerating, however, and he had to first freeze their bodies rapidly before destroying them.

The army wasn’t alone either, as Drake had made sure to summon an army of his own. Combining some Mortal Spells with Divinity, channeling his Element of Death, he created hundreds of Undead out of the Divine Beasts Corpses laying around.

And then, with his Spirit Creation Ability, he summoned yet another army of around three hundred Elemental Divine Dragon Spirits to join everybody else!

With the combination of armies, especially of these beasts that could work as meat shields, the survivability of his troops rose greatly, even more with all the good equipment he had made for them.

Larzak usually was a more lone fighter, unleashing countless fist attacks around the battlefield and blowing away the Infernal beasts one after another as if they were nothing, that is until he clashed against the human-like ones.

Agni’s buff had already ended, but some lingering power of such buffs that awakened their innate talents stayed, further giving them a boost in power even if not as big as the buff itself.

Larzak was trying his best to prove his own strength, clashing against the beasts alone. However, that quickly proved to not be enough, seeing as he was alone, the human infernal beasts cornered him.

“Dammit! Are these things much intelligent than divine beasts?!” Larzak muttered, swiftly punching them as they came.

However, he noticed a bit too later that a large group of over a dozen Infernal Beasts in the shape of small children were giggling in the back of the larger ones, suddenly conjuring dozens of fireballs made of Flames of the End…

“S-Shit!”

Larzak tried to escape, but he was stopped by the larger ones! His foolish decision to fight alone to not be a burden quickly ended coming to bite his tail.

Hector and Kraxka were coming there with their armies, but it was already too late, the giant fireballs made of Flames of the End were already closing in!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOMMM!!!

“Guuaarrgh..!”

Larzak groaned, feeling the agonizing burning pain on his scales… Only to not feel as much pain as he imagined. Dumbfounded, he glanced at his own body and hands, suddenly realizing a veil of White Dragon Flames covered his body!

And then, at the distance, he saw Surtr and his companions flying nearby, a saint-like fire giantess, Mina had conjured a life-saving spell she had created and polished for a while.

“[White Dragon Flame Magic]: [Divine White Dragon Flames Armor]!”

FLAAAAASSSH!

Not only it covered mostly all allies in a second and extremely fast, but it also protected them from Flames of the End Damage the most! It was a special Barrier Spell she had created, which she conjured by holding Surtr’s hand and letting him share his Origin Flames to the mix.

Ding!

[Your body has been covered in the [Divine White Dragon Flames Armor], All Damage against Black Flames of the End has reduced by -50%, and their corrosive powers have been reduced by -70%. Increases Health and Mana Self-Regeneration Speed by +300%]

[Duration: 30 Minutes.]

“A-Amazing…!” Larzak glanced at the system windows in awe.

Hector and Kraxka’s army quickly joined him, and after reprimanding him, they started their massacre, opening the way for the rest of the armies to enter the battle!

“Phew! Now that was tiring!” Sighed Mina. “And it only lasts 30 Minutes… I wanted it to last at least a day, no?”

“It is already insane you can conjure such a spell! I don’t have enough mastery or talent over Support-type magic to do something like that myself…!” Surtr couldn’t help but praise Mina.

“Well, I spent most of my time training trying to make this spell! I’m glad it is coming in handy!” Mina giggled.

“Now, now, you two lovebirds, how about we concentrate in what’s in front of us?” Asked Nadia, her Divine blazing battle axe started to glow bright red, overflowing with dragon flames.

“We’re getting closer!” Jamar said.

The group was flying over Surtr’s body as they helped the armies below with support magic, until the Flame Emperor noticed the “flies” approaching.

“You’re not even worth my time, begone!” Roared the Flame Emperor with a laugh, his titanic body of over five hundred meters swung a gigantic, over four hundred meters long sword!

CRAAAAAAASSSSSH!!!

RUMBLE!
