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

Chapter 2332: Oda Nobunaga’s Endless Castle [50]

-----

"Why? Why do you speak like you know me...! You...! Just who are you?! You sound like that damn...! That damn bitch who thought she could always control my life...! But that’s impossible, she died, her soul was destroyed, her body is an undead... There must be something else, what are you?"

"Wanna guess?!"

"Tch!"

FLASH!

Susanoo reached Yuki in an instant with a single step forward, his sword rushing down to split her into two. His blade glowed with a mysterious, all-powerful hue. The air and curse particles were sliced by his incredible swordsmanship before he even reached her!

CLAAASH!

Predicting the attack by pushing her senses to their limits, Yuki raised her icy sword, clashing against his legendary divine blade. It unleashed white and silver thunder, cracking her sword instantly. A shockwave of immense power struck her body, covering her with small cuts.

"Hahahaha! Foolish beast! Did you actually believe you had a chance against me?! Your sword is nothing but a magical construct!"

Susanoo laughed as his aura surged, unleashing countless attacks against Yuki. Each strike contained immense Heaven and Earth Essence mixed with Divine Ki, forming potent Sword Energy!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Nnnggh...!"

Instead of being sliced apart, Yuki’s body was protected by hard black shells, forming heavy, natural armor, though it gained slight cuts.

"What the...?"

Susanoo was surprised to see her mostly unscathed. Several crevices between the armor were cut, and she bled from a few small, deep wounds.

Then he realized...

White Tiger.

Ice Phoenix.

Black Tortoise.

"You possess the power of the Auspicious Beasts?! Who are you?! A close confidant of my sister?! Who sent you to Yggdrasil?! What does this mean?! Reveal your identity now!"

Susanoo rushed forward as Yuki and Yudra attacked, unleashing a barrage of magic. A blue frozen lotus bloomed behind Yuki, spreading an endless garden of azure lotuses that slowed him down, while Yudra fired sunray beams, bombarding him from every angle.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, Susanoo’s Sword Aura slashed through all magic, leaving him unscathed from every attack, magical and physical!

"That bastard uses purely offensive sword attacks, wrapping himself with them like a barrier, resisting our magic!" Yuki said. "Yudra, stay behind mama, don’t you dare fight him head-on or he’ll cut you apart, okay?!"

"Buh mama!" Yudra responded angrily. She wanted to engage the god in close combat.

"No buts!" Yuki said. "Stay behind me!"

RUMBLE!

Yuki punched the ground, sending a giant wave of frost toward Susanoo. The god swung his blade, cutting through the ice and scattering it into thousands of tiny snowflakes.

As he reached Yuki, surrounded by icy air, she smiled and swung her hand down.

"I got you! {Eternal Frost Prison}!"

"Ngh?!"

Susanoo’s eyes widened as the icy air crystallized around him, encasing him in a gigantic ice cube!

Yuki looked at Susanoo confidently, his horrified face frozen in the ice.

"You like that?! That’s a spell my hubby taught me! Awesome, right?!"

"G-Ghhh...! Youuuuuu..."

Susanoo’s voice echoed from within the ice as he slowly forced his way out, his aura surging, pushing harder and harder.

Slashing attacks from inside spread cracks across the ice’s surface, but Yuki kept infusing her magic, holding him frozen.

"I won’t let you out, Susanoo! You’ll stay there...! Forever!"

"F-Forever...? Ngaaaahhhh!"

Susanoo roared, struggling to break the ice, only for Yuki to reinforce it, infusing more divine power.

"Let me out! YOU DAMN BITCH!"

"Feel that Susanoo? That’s called frustration! An emotion you probably never felt in your entire life. Isn’t it nice? To be unable to fight against fate! This is what mortals feel every day. Can you feel it?! Can you finally understand how blessed your life was?!"

"YOUUUU!"

"Yeah, keep screaming, but you won’t get out! I won’t allow it. You need to learn what pain is! You need to learn what suffering is! This was... my greatest mistake when raising you and every other Kami! You never understood what it meant to face difficulties, and... that’s why you never understood how blessed you were."

"A-Ahh...!"

Susanoo’s eyes widened as he heard Yuki’s words, his face shocked.

There was no doubt anymore.

This woman was not Susanoo’s confidant or a close friend.

No...

This woman.

Yuki...

"You’re... my sister?! A-Amaterasu?!"

"..."

Yuki remained silent, closing her eyes for a moment. She didn’t nod, but her silence was acknowledgment.

"Impossible! This is impossible! I cut your head off! Hajun grasped your soul and shattered it into pieces! How is this...? But there’s no other way to explain how you speak about me! You’re...! AAAGGHH! I THOUGHT YOU DIED! WHY?! WHY HAVE YOU COME BACK, YOU WRETCHED WOMAN?!"

"I don’t know, brother, fate works in really, really mysterious ways sometimes..." Yuki said. "A fragment of my soul survived everything. Hajun shattered it into pieces and used them to create the Abyssal Tear, but he was careless. One tiny piece of my soul survived the ordeal. My Four Auspicious Beasts protected it and brought it to another world, Yggdrasil, where I was reborn as a lowly beast, a small Monkey Chinchilla."

"What?!"

"Yes, that was my life. I didn’t remember anything, yet I knew I was someone before. I was intelligent, unlike other beasts, and survived and found Drake thanks to that intelligence."

"..."

"The rest? It’s history. I grew stronger and evolved into this form. I regained my human form, and now, I have been regaining my own self, piece by piece, as I recovered three of the four fragments of the Abyssal Tear! And here I am! Your sister, Amaterasu, has returned for revenge! What do you think about that, huh?"

Despite his wrath, Susanoo listened to Yuki’s words, realizing how things came to be... a small mistake by Hajun, a piece of her soul he didn’t see fly away because it was smaller than an ant.

That tiny piece nobody cared about that Hajun never thought would matter... it came back, regained about seventy percent of her soul, and now stood before him, reincarnated in a new body!
