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

The "Chaos Amalgamation" left the scene in a hurry, not without leaving behind a worthy gift for Surtr and everyone else. Using a mere drop of its strange body, and mixing it with Trafalh's dying body, which still had the spear piercing its chest and the flames burning his body, a monstrous creature was formed.

Perhaps because the spear was made out of Surtr's blood and scales, and perhaps because the chaos energy was not only able to disrupt everything, but twist it and mix it together into aberrant chimeric forms, Trafalh was transformed, merging with the spear and the flames, and becoming an aberrant zombie dragon-like chimera.

With powerful black steel bones, miasmic flesh slowly melting over its body, and countless black mushrooms growing over its body, alongside black and purple-colored flames covering the rest of the body, the beast exuded the power of something not of Rank 5, nor 6 at all.

This being was already far above Surtr and the rest, a being within the realm of Rank 7! It was clear, as it exuded a powerful -albeit corrupted- divine aura…

Trafalh's dream of ascending was finally within his grasp, but in the process, he lost his mind and became a wild, mad beast without emotions, memories, or personality.

"Shit! My spear is gone?! It mixed with that thing's body?!" Surtr muttered. "Wait, that spear was made out of my blood and scales… Is this the reason behind its appearance?"

"C-Can we even fight this thing…?" Nadia sighed.

"I-I think… this is as far as we go…" Mina cried.

"GRRRHHHH…!" The Chimeric beast slowly started to walk towards them, exuding such a strong pressure that it made their bodies grow completely stiff!

"(I can die and respawn in my Spawn Point, but not the girls)!" Thought Surtr, glancing at them. "(I need to open the way for them to escape… Maybe if I bomb myself in front of that thing?! But I can't even move to begin with!)"

Surtr was completely out of options. Even when he had so many powers and abilities, he had yet to fully develop them with the little time he was given… Although he could revive once a day through the power of his Unique Skill, that was not the case for the twins.

And if they were to die… He would never be able to forgive himself.

"GROOOOAARRRR!"

The beast stepped forward, pointing its jaws at Mina first!

"Uwaaah!" Mina screamed.

"STOP!!!" Surtr roared, pushing his body towards his limits, and rushing towards the beast by forcing his weakened body to move.

His claws quickly stopped the beast, only for the monster to unleash a barrage of piercing blows using its sharp, skeletal claws against his entire chest!

"SHAAAAAHH!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

"G-GRAAAAGGH…!"

Surtr groaned in agony, vomiting blood as he felt his entire body tearing down internally. His Magic flowing across his body still worked, as he glanced at the beast, fully intending to utilize a certain skill he learned before.

It was named [Self-Explosion], and he learned it accidentally, when he sacrificed his life to explode in front of a powerful foe and defeat them, this was done by imbuing his Mana Core with so much Mana it would detonate, converting his entire body into a small nuke.

"SURTR!" Mina and Nadia cried; the twins glanced in horror as the dragon's body was being ravaged horrendously.

"SHAAAAH! ROOOAARRR!" The beast that vastly overpowered the trio continued attacking, yet Surtr glanced at the twins with eyes filled with conviction.

"R-Run! RUN AWAY!" Surtr roared. "[Self-Explo-"

BAAAAAM!!!

However, before Surtr could even detonate, the gates leading to the hall suddenly opened! All eyes were quickly pointed at the small little guy that came from within the gates!

"I'm here!!!"

Expecting someone heroic and powerful, they were quickly disappointed, and somehow shocked to see that it was a small mushroom boy, Jamar!

"J-Jamar?!" Nadia cried. "What are you doing here?!"

"R-Run! You can't fight this monster!" Mina cried.

Jamar quickly noticed everyone was on the floor, barely alive.

"ROOOOAAARRRR!"

However, before he could say another word, the beast that Trafalh had transformed into threw Surtr away, for some reason, and directed all its attention to Jamar!

Somehow, deep within his psyche, Trafalh still harbored a tremendous hate towards Myconid more than anybody and would prioritize killing the over anybody else!

"Is this… My uncle?! So you've completely fallen into a monster…" Jamar gritted his teeth, raising his sword which he imbued with magic powers.

Magic powers that he awakened just minutes ago, as he drank the powerful Dragon Elixir of the highest quality that Surtr had left behind for him!

A dragon-shaped red mark emerged in the middle of his forehead, as the beast reached him in an instant! A small, faint amount of divine, and draconic power surged from his sword, similarly to how Mina and Nadia could channel dragon energy due to them being half fire dragons!

Jamar acquired a similar power to them through the elixir he drank and his deep admiration for Surtr after he bravely saved his village!

"[Dragon Blade Arts]: [Draconic Slash]!!!" Jamar cried, his eyes blazing with dragon flames as the slime over his head supplied him with enough Mana!

SLAAAAAAASSSSH!!!

A powerful slash of pure draconic flames surged from his sword as he swung it vertically against the beast that Trafalh had transformed into!

BOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

Like the roar of a dragon, the slash of flames exploded furiously, covering the entire body of the beastly Trafalh, and blowing away bits of his body into the floor!

"GRAAAAHHH! RAAAARRGH!" Trafalh fell to the floor for a few seconds, his body quickly gathering more and more flames, it was still moving, yet that attack was so strong it shocked everyone in the scene!

"He became like us?!" Nadia asked. "This mushroom boy from all people?!"

"I do remember Surtr gave him a Dragon Elixir…" Mina was just as shocked.

"That power…" Surtr muttered. "It isn't just what I did for him… He has an exorbitant amount of Mana being constantly supplied to him…!"

Surtr quickly glanced to the origin of such enormous quantities of Mana…

It was the blue slime sitting over Jamar's cap!

"Sorry for being so late!" The slime spoke. "Now Jamar, beat that monster!"

"ROOOOAAARRRR!"
