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

Chapter 793 Drake's Parents 2

-----

Drake heard his father's words, Fafnir, as he told him what Oberon desired. He had wanted to capture his egg after he was born so he would use him for ulterior motives! Such motives might be related to stealing his divine powers, and even the Aura of Fate he possessed, and perhaps even the Unique Skills he possessed, although Oberon in that time didn't knew he was a reincarnated soul! Fafnir now explained to Drake that Oberon's ultimate plan was to attain a level of enlightenment and knowledge to the point he would master all elements and powers, being able to shape this world to his will and devour it afterwards! He wanted not only to break Fate, but to use the entire world as his resource to grow stronger, even beyond the stars.

"This is… he's insane…" Said Drake. "He's really a delusional man!"

"He is… This bastard had been pestering the last of the god-kin ever since he was born!" Said Fafnir. "As the first mortal to have ever reached Rank 9, his power was comparable to the Progenitor Dragons, and not even Nifl was able to hold into a fight against him completely… She had to hid in her Divine Sanctuary, the last part of the world before it fused all together."

"Divine Sanctuary? Just what's that? Is it a Divine Realm?" Asked Drake.

"Divine Realms can be forcefully opened through the use of Space Attribute Magic. It is incredibly rare but that bastard of Oberon had a clone that could use such power. But a Divine Sanctuary is different! It is technically another dimension! It cannot be easily broke through by any sort of magic, only the owner of a Divine Sanctuary can open its gates towards it." Said Fafnir. "I choose to stay in the world and oversee it while your mother went back to her Divine Sanctuary to recover her wounds. We barely survived back then, and I put my life before your mother, despite the odds… But at the end, I was the one that was saved by her strength."

Fafnir seemed regretful, he had put everything he could in such a fight against all of Oberon's Soul Fragments, yet he still was beaten down almost to death, and Nifl had to protect him as well.

"But why couldn't mother put me in there then?" Asked Drake. This chapt????r is updat????d by ɴovel(F)ɪre

"It was too late, the entrance to her Sanctuary is in a certain place on Niflheim. Right after your egg was laid, the bastards came. We didn't had any time to send you there, so the Wyvern had to bring you far away from where we were, so you could be saved." Said Fafnir. "Sorry… If we had stayed inside the Sanctuary, you could had been raised there with our care…"

"Well… it is already the past. But why… why were you outside of it if its so safe?" Asked Drake. "Wouldn't it had been more logical to stay there through her pregnancy?"

"Dragon God's pregnancy takes hundreds of years, and your mother and I were wandering across Niflheim helping various tribes of Frost Lizardmen and Ice Giants. She has too soft of a heart despite how graceful, silent, and cold she may look. She had been blessing and protecting the people of her Realm even now… Well, after the battle, she has been in a long slumber inside her Sanctuary to recover her wounds." Said Fafnir. "It could be said your mother was foolish, but also, she was a brave woman that I admired… She was someone I truly love."

"Hah, I can relate to that feeling…" Said Drake, as he recalled Benladann, a woman who he also admired. Her bravery was incredible, and she often lifted his often-gloomy personality to the strong man he was now. Without her to give him love and comfort, he wouldn't be as strong as he is now, mostly because he had always lacked the guts to take important decisions on his previous life. It wasn't for a reason that he was a Neet, closed inside his room only reading s and manga, he was a man that feared the outside world a lot.

"That Benladann Ice Giant girl, eh?" Asked Fafnir.

"You know her?!" Asked Drake.

"Of course I do! I also know you got two little lads!" Said Fafnir. "GRYAHAHAHAHA! I am already a grandfather! Nifl is probably just as happy, brat!"

"Y-You… how could you tell?" Asked Drake.

"I haven't been spying on you or something, it just an hunch. When a child of us have a child, we know it through the power of the Bloodlines! Brat, dragon blood is very special, it has many powers you've not even realized you got! One of them is this family connection! By merely channeling divine power into your blood, you should be able to see it with your own eyes!" Fafnir said.

"Bloodline powers?" Asked Drake in complete shock. He knew of that Bloodline Skill he had, which granted him more growth and stats but… there was even more than that?

Drake closed his eyes, quickly deciding to see by himself as he channeled divine power into his veins and began to make it flow across his entire body! His blood suddenly started to boil! The boiling blood began spreading across all of his veins, reinforcing his entire body and giving him a blood-red aura of power. And to boot, Fafnir's eyes opened wide as he felt the Aura of a vampire coming out of his blood as well! Drake had upgraded his own Bloodline powers when he absorbed the Abilities of the Vampires he had eaten back then too, which made them even stronger.

"This Aura… Your ability to absorb powers is really something! To think you have the Blood Aura of a Vampire as well!" Said Fafnir. "The only Dragons with that are the Blood Dragons, traitors that allied the Vampire Venerable… But you're clearly different in that regard."

FLAAASH!

And then, Drake felt something within his pumping blood, red lines interconnecting into a strange black space, which led to many silhouettes of countless dragons!

"W-What is… this?!" he asked in shock.

"Welcome to the Draconic Records, my son. You've grown well."

And then, the chilling yet calming voice of a graceful woman resonated through Drake's entire soul…
