Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 1539 Corny Talk

-----

After my mother greeted us, my father appeared not too many seconds later. Emerging as a towering, looming dark figure that intimidated Surtr and Emerald quite a lot. More than I thought. Father was around Rank 10 I believe, and he might even have some Ascendancy Laws too. He was fairly strong of a Dragon. Powerful enough to give me a blessing and all. However I don't think he's nowhere close to the strength of truly strong Dragons out there.

"Hoh? So my song has brought some new "friends"…" My father tried to act cool and intimidating, glaring down at the two new recruits. His dark aura encompassing them. "So what are your names, hm?"

"S-Surtr, sir…" Surtr swallowed saliva. "I-If Drake is so strong, I bet his father is even mightier…! It is an honor to meet you."

"L-Likewise!" Emerald could barely speak, bowing before my father.

"Hmph, well, naturally. My son has only inherited but a one percent of my true power. He is already the strongest but imagine my strength! Yes, make sure to bow." Fafnir was enjoying this a bit too much.

"Enough with that, sweetie." My mother sighed, her titanic head glaring down at my disciples. "It is nice to see my son has made some other dragon friends! Aren't you two adorable? And brimming with strength and power! You must be the champions of your respective tribes, is it not?"

"W-Well…" Emerald was too embarrassed to talk. "I am… an outcast, actually."

"I am the last one of my kin so… I don't know." Surtr sighed.

"Oh…" Nifl's enormous azure-colored eyes seemed slightly surprised. "A-Ahahaha, but I am sure Drake has become your good friend! No? Also I had no idea Muspel had no more children than one… I do remember she died but, this is really bad. I hope my son has been taking good care of you all."

"H-He has, he has taught us so much. He trained me and helped me awaken my inner potential… I am eternally grateful with master!" Surtr said.

"He also helped me a lot. To get through bad times, and also taught me to be braver. And to trust my own strength, and to rely on my friends." Emerald sighed. "Actually he taught me a lot of stuff… I used to be a lot more cowardly- I-I think!" He was still trembling in front of my father.

"Hmmm, I see. Well done, Drake." My father kept the act. "Ahem! Very well, why have you come here then?"

"Come on dad, stop acting all high and mighty." I sighed. "I think they're both stronger than you by now… Well, maybe in a couple of months."

"What?! But… Aw, come on Drake! You can't just say that! I was feeling so good! It's not everyday you meet young dragons that don't know a single thing about me!" Fafnir immediately facepalmed.

The faces of Surtr and Emerald changed completely as they saw him drop the act. They seemed utterly disappointed and at the same time, shocked. It must have been surprising the first Dark Dragon they meet was actually just pretending to be mighty. New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

"Wait, he was pretending?!" Surtr protested.

"Huh? Wha…?" Emerald was confused.

"Anyways!" I said. "We came here to meet you but also for a few other things. Namely, I wanted to inform you of the good news as well. Benladann."

"A-Ah, right, I'm pregnant again…" Benladann blushed a bit after saying that.

"Wait, you are?!" My mother gasped. "Oh yes! Another to the bag of grandkids! My son's such a champion at it!"

"W-Woah, we've only had one kid. Isn't this your third?" Asked my father. "You're already doing better than us…"

"It would be the fourth, I don't remember if we ever told you but I was also pregnant…" Miranda said. "Hi. I don't know if I joined last time?"

"Oh, aren't you like… Benladann's twin?" My mother asked.

"No dear she's not her twin. She's like her Spirit? Wait, you're also my son's mistress?" Asked my father.

"Y-Yeah, well…" She nodded shily. "Something like that, yes. The kid's soon to be born I believe. It has grown very big, and it is draining all my energy constantly… Hahahh…" Miranda felt shy as she caressed her big belly.

"I don't think we told you properly, but yeah." I nodded. "I'll soon be the father of four kids, actually. You'll have four grandkids soon. Pretty crazy, right? How our family continues growing." I gently hugged Miranda's back, as she gave me a little kiss in my lips while looking into my eyes.

"Thank you for helping me and… Benladann. For trying your best even when I wasn't in the right place myself." She suddenly confessed, holding my hand. "If it wasn't because of you, I would probably continue being a monster, and not the person I feel myself as. Thank you for giving me an humanity, Drake."

"M-Miranda…" I felt shocked by her words.

"I'll be a mom now, so I have to talk more maturely, no?" She giggled. "What's wrong? You're all baffled now."

"Aah, well, I was a bit surprised. It wasn't just me though, Benladann, even Benladra and Kate, all our friends, they've all helped a bit. Right?" I smiled. "We're all a big family, even with those do not present here. They're all important to us. They care about you too. But yeah, you know already. I love you too."

"You're so corny… gosh." Miranda laughed a bit, resting her head on my shoulders.

"She has truly changed, huh?" Benladann giggled, resting her head at my side too.

But suddenly, I felt someone else as well. Someone that appeared behind me like a ghostly figure, phasing through me. Her beautiful appearance was unmistakable, and Kate's reaction to her also confirmed who she was.

"Drake, don't forget about me either…"

"Mama's here!" Kate got really happy.

"Huh? S-System, you got in here?!"

"Naturally! Our connection should be strong enough for a little astral projection. I'm still like a ghost, but I wanted to meet my parents-in-law in first person too." She greeted the two.

"Oh, so you're little Kate's mother! Nice to meet you dear!" Mother smiled.

"N-Nice to meet you." My father looked baffled. "My son has three wives?! When did he…? Last time he only had one!"

"I simply couldn't keep rejecting their feelings. And Benladann was alright with that." I sighed. "Hahaha, sorry."
