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

Chapter 1602  Breezing Through The "Dungeon"

-----

After deciding to clean the entire place and make sure to get as many Soul Beasts as we could, we decided to divide our group into three for this section.

"We'll be on our way then." Benladann smiled. "You better hurry if you don't want me to get there first!"

"Alright papa!" Benladra got pumped up.

"It is not fun if you kill everything, so I like this." Miranda smiled. "Drakda, maybe it is finally time for you to hunt something."

"RAAR!" Drakda nodded.

"Papa, good luck." Kate gently waved her claws at me.

"Yeah, yeah, let's see who gets to the end faster then!" I smiled, as Svartalf ended summoning two more Avatars that accompanied my family for another layer of protection.

I stepped forwards, slamming the door open. What greeted me inside the room that the front door led were a dozen of Phantom-type Soul Beasts. They resembled two, three, and four-headed draconic snakes. They hissed at me furiously, each one being as big as thirty meters, rushing towards me while flying in midair like ghosts do.

"Those are Multi-Headed Phantom Hydras!" Said Svartalf. "Be careful of their venomous bite, it makes the soul hurt a lot, Drake!"

"Don't worry about me." I smiled, as the dozens of snakes approached, I summoned my weapons once more. With Skadi, Uller, Ariel, Hephaestus, the Nameless Demon Bone Axe, and the two Marchosias weaponized forms. Using my Psychokinesis I controlled all the weapons in midair.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Explosions of frost, blood, darkness, origin flames, and demonic flames erupted. The monsters were impaled, slashed, hacked, and cut through into pieces in just a few seconds. Svartalf gasped in surprise when she realized each of the weapons was also enchanted with an additional veil of Soul Ether, making them especially deadlier against Soul Beasts, who could sometimes ignore physical attacks by turning invisible.

"A-Amazing! Just how… Who taught you how to wield your Soul Ether, Drake?" Asked Svartalf. "Usually, it is a power you can't normally use! Only the Death Dragons specialize on the control of souls and the wielding of Soul Ether… Did you get their bloodline?"

"Not yet." I said. "However, I used a Divine Ability named [Mimic] I acquired from a certain Dream Dungeon Monster. It allowed me to copy and imitate that fox soul beast king from the ice dragon realm, and therefore, it also allowed me to imitate its abilities. Its strongest attacks used its own Soul Ether. Soul Beasts seem capable of wielding this aura of essence naturally to fight. I simply copied that and then, once the transformation was done, I had to merely recall the sensation."

"T-That's… I never knew you had such an Ability." Said Svartalf. "I guess even now, you're full of surprises, are you not, my grandson?" She giggled.

"Now, let's keep moving. The other parties are already on the second room!" I was spying on them using the Slimes I left for them. "Let's go!"

I stepped into the second room as I kept practicing my abilities. Imbuing my body with an armor o Azure Ice Essence to further strengthen my defenses, I tanked several Crystalized Phantom Spears, as I gave a single step and unleashed three dragon breaths using three of my nine heads.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The multi-headed snakes were blown away, dying on the spot again. I stored their corpses and continued moving. The third room had the same monsters again, so with a few thoughts, my weapons moved through the power of my Psychokinesis Divine Ability, which was what allowed me to easily make anything levitate, even my body.

However, at the fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms, the monsters changed. Instead of the snakes, there were now lizardman-like soul beasts called Phantom Dragonoid. They were intelligent and wielded weapons and armor made out of crystalized phantasmal energy. They came in twenty, thirty, and the forty units, and although their attacks were fairly decent, I was able to overpower them with ease. Using Gabriel, my Divine Spirit, into his Holy Shield form, Aegis. And then controlling my weapons to quickly devastate them from behind with powerful explosive attacks.

I made my way to the seventh room without issues, the last room of the first floor, where I was greeted with some sort of "mini boss". It was a chimeric fusion between the Phantom Dragonoids and the Serpents. With a long serpentine body instead of legs and six bulky arms, wielding different weapons made of crystallized phantom. It was called a "Phantom Viper Asure Dragonoid".

"This is the mini boss! I added some spread around the entire castle!" Svartalf liked talking about her creations. "It's not going to be that easy to beat! It should be as strong as a Rank 9 Divine Monster! And- Ah."

CRAAASH!

However, I didn't let the monster even give another step as I rushed towards it using Marchosias Blazing Rampage, my entire body covered on demonic flames and with all my weapons pointing at it, the impact alone blew the entire monster into smithereens.

"Well, that was a nothing burger." I laughed, storing the carcass before reaching the end.

"You're second, daddy!"

"You're finally here, took you a while."

"E-Eh?! You're here first?! Agh… Well, well done!" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Unfortunately, I was second, Benladann and Benladra had reached here faster than me! And just a second later, Kate, Miranda, and Drakda appeared.

"Wait, we are third?! No way!" Miranda cried. "And we were doing our best!"

"RAARR!" Drakda was biting the corpse of a phantom serpent. "Nam, nam… Gulp."

"Who got here first?" Kate asked.

"Me! Me!" Benladra jumped. "With mommy, we were super-duper fast!"

"We work well together. I tank and charge, Benladra heals me and fires magic from afar. Even our elements complement each other." Benladann smiled.

"It is only natural for mother and daughter to get so along in battle!" Nodded Svartalf. "Well done with the hunt, all of you. There are four more floors ahead of you, so get ready."

"Nobody's tired, right? Let's keep going then." I smiled, leading the entire party.

We ran upstairs and quickly landed on the second floor, this time there were only two doors. -----
