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

When we finally reached the Dungeon areas at the back of the city, we found a large crowd around.

However, we easily ignored them as I had already reserved the next week for my group, although there would be other groups too, the reservation system accepted up to three groups per week, when there weren't any reservations, they accepted smaller groups freely.

The reservations cost money, of course, around 50k per day, and that's without counting the 50% of what I have to give them back…

Anyways, the guards received me with nervous smiles as I released my complete Mana Aura alongside everyone in my party, our strength, especially mine, scared most of the sect members, and everyone moved away to give us space to pass through.

"W-Who are they?"

"I've never seen an Elder like that…"

"He's quite handsome… All Elders are usually so old… But he's quite young."

"And the people with them… They have quite a lot of slaves."

"Those aren't slaves… Look! They don't have collars…"

"W-What?!"

"Not slaves?"

"So… they are members? Citizens?!"

I decided to speak a bit with the people. With a firm tone of voice.

"I am Lord Drake, Sect Master of the Winter Dragon Sect. As you can see, I have other races as my sect members. I am not ashamed to admit it. Because no matter the race, these are still strong warriors and people that I deem as worthy to be at my side. If anyone dares to say another word against their freedom, they'll have to meet with my magic and fists." I said, as I released my intimidation skills, the people began to tremble in fear, although some bold ones were about to talk back, only a glance from me was enough to make them reconsider it. That I was sitting over an almost five-meter-tall Ice Dragon Wolf, Frost, also made up for the intimidation.

After that, I decided to continue walking.

"I see, so people here are very respectful. I am grateful that no one has any objection with my way of life." I said.

The guards guarding the dungeon where we were going smiled nervously at me as they let me pass.

"P-Please go on, Lord Drake…"

They seem to have quickly gotten the notice of a new allied Sect from the outside world.

"Ah, thank you for your hospitality. I will not forget this." I said with a smile, as we got into the dungeon.

"T-That was awesome, dearie!" said Benladann, as she hugged me from behind.

"B-Boss!"

"Boss really loves us!"

"We love you too, Lord!"

The Rabbit-kin and Ice Elves that were below Tisha and Pekora command were all showering me with their respect and being overly clingy…

"T-Thank you for that…" said Tisha.

"Indeed, you really shut them up. I guess that as long as you have power in this world, no matter the race, you'll be respected… I guess that's what we gotta do then, get more power!" said Pekora.

"Indeed, let's make sure to work hard from now on!" said Tisha.

The other with them cheered to their words.

"I can see why Benladann chose him. He's really a good man…" said Benlah.

"That was incredible, I have to admit it." Said Laddan.

"Haha, you are being too exaggerated. It is the least I could do, father-in-law." I said.

"Yeah, okay, I'll admit it. I am thankful, you really shut them down with that…" said Yuki.

"Papa is awesome!" said Flayr.

"I want to be as brave as papa when I grow up…" said Noirenn timidly.

"Fufu, you'll surely be, dearie." Said Benladann.

The Dungeon where we went was named Frost Goblin Adobe, it was the lowest level Dungeon in the Sect and it had a variety of ogre-type monsters, from Frost Goblins, Ice Orcs, Winter Trolls, and even the last Boss, a Rank 1 Peak Stage Old Yeti.

The entire place was like very old temple-like ruins made of blue-colored bricks, the floor, walls, and ceiling were a bit slippery, as they were covered in a thin layer of ice, there was some snow here and there, and the overall light came from glowing crystals in the corner of each corridor, which were named Illumination Crystal, and was actually harvested to use in illumination devices. We harvested these as we went around.

The Dungeon was rather large for a newbie dungeon, it had over twenty floors, each floor was like a small maze with ten rooms of around 15x15 meters.

Through my abilities, we guided ourselves quite nicely, the place seemed mostly empty at first, but when we got inside the second room, we were greeted by a swarm of Frost Goblins led by an Ice Orc.

Frost Goblins looked like your typical big-nosed ear-pointed red little guy, but they were clear-blue colored instead of green and wore leather clothes, although sometimes they were straight-up nude. They had white fur around their bodies, and wore ice weapons, they could conjure icicle spears sometimes, or impulse themselves using icy winds. They looked like Smurfs on steroids.

Meanwhile, the Ice Orc was taller than the one-and-a-half-meter Frost Goblin, they were around the same size as an Ice Giant and had uglier faces than the ugliest ice giants I've ever seen, they had large tusks growing from their lower jaws, and a single white horn in the middle of their forehead, often very muscular, but they also had a big belly. He also wore a large, blue-colored axe made of a strange metal; it was a magic item from the dungeon's drops themselves…

"Gryyagagagagaaaaa!"

The Frost Goblins rushed towards our group right away, they were around 20 all tightly packed up in a big and messy army, while the Orc moved slowly. The Frost Goblins were all Rank 1 Initial Stage, but there were some Frost Goblins with special Abilities such as Sword Technique or Spear Technique, which were named Frost Goblin Swordsman or Frost Goblin Spearman, those were Middle Stage!

Meanwhile, the Ice Orc was Upper Stage, quite a rough beginning for a newbie dungeon, I guess that newbies come here with a strong senior to deal with these big guys…

We started the fight with Flayr and Noirenn blasting the swarm of Frost Goblins with their fire and shadow magic…

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
