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

After the battle between Tisha and Laddann, Benladann's mother wanted to try out her strength as well, so she quickly decided to fight against the very small Rabbit-kin Pekora. Their size difference was big.

Benlah's size was a bit over three meters, and Pekora was… well, I think she was around a meter and 30 to 40 centimeters. So the difference in size was incredibly big.

However, despite that, Benlah wasn't good at physical combat, as she was a proficient archer and mage. She was pretty good at Ice Magic, apparently, and thanks to her new body as a Hell Ice Giant, she gained better stats. Coupled with the Dragon Mark of Poison, her ice magic was deadly… Though she said she wouldn't use poison because that could kill Pekora if she wasn't prepared.

Pekora was a proficient shaman and druid. She was good at using Life Magic.

Life Magic is more complex than just healing, and it can also be used for the manipulation of plants, the enhancement of a person's body and capabilities, and many other things.

Additionally, it was said by Tisha that Pekora was able to Summon Life Spirits as a Shaman.

I checked her stats, and she had an Ability named [Shaman], [Elemental Spirit Summon], and even [Elemental Spirit Enhancement]. Which she seems to have developed innately as a talent.

I had already said that in this world, although there was no system, people could develop abilities aside from just normal magic, such as weapon techniques, and the like. These abilities, although related to Magic, were pretty different.

But maybe high-ranked Magus would be able to also summon spirits if they're strong enough… but the thing is, she was born with this talent.

There were several others amongst the Rabbit-kin that had similar Abilities, such as Shaman or Druid. Some had Wood Magic, or even Elemental Spirit Summon too. They were all diamonds on brute that just needed to be polished… An army of rabbit-kin summoning elemental spirits appeared inside of my mind, and it was both cute and terrifying.

It was also explained to me by Tisha and Pekora some time ago that Beast-kin had special Magic and Abilities. Some were even able to summon [Animal Totems] or [Beast Spirits] through [Druid] and [Shaman] Abilities, which they just called "Blessings".

Rabbit-kin could summon Rabbits or other animal spirits to reinforce their power and aid them, and other beast-kin too. It was said that Wolf-kin could turn into beastly werewolves and also summon roaring wolves.

It is good to know that all these races got their specialties. Beast-kin has warm fur and all, but they don't have complete Cold Immunity, natural titanic strength, big size, and Ice resistance from the get-go like Ice Giants, so they compensate with all sorts of unique talents. It is also said that Beast-kin can evolve after reaching a certain Rank in Cultivation, and some warriors take pride in that.

Anyways, back to the fight.

Pekora greeted Benlah with a calm smile.

"Let's have some fun." She said.

"I'll do what I can!" said Benlah.

Benlah immediately began, forming a bow made of ice with her magic and then creating arrows with ice as well, something I didn't know that others could do so easily. She must be very proficient in magic despite her originally low rank at the Initial Stage.

FLASH!

The arrows rushed towards Pekora, if she gets hit once, I don't think she could continue fighting…

CLASH!

Pekora, however, used her powerful legs to leap upwards, as she waved her staff, several lights that resembled butterflies and leaves began to emerge around her body, forming runes. She was doing an incantation that only lasted half a second.

"Life Spirit Summon: Fiery Sunflower!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the light gathered above her as a small sunflower appeared. It had two tiny, green-colored eyes that looked cutely at Benlah.

Wow, this is actually cool as fuck.

"Baaah!"

The little sunflower said a few words as it suddenly gathered a lot of energy from the environment and…!

FLAAAAAAASH!

"What?!"

BOOOOM!

Benlah was surprised by lowering her guard before a tiny sunflower, but the spirit actually fired a blazing ray of burning light towards her!

Benlah received the hit mildly, as she protected herself by a wall of ice.

Pekorina fell over the ground as she began leaping around with the sunflower over her head.

"Hehe, did you lowered your guard because I am small? We, Druids and Shamans, are mighty when we are given the chance of summoning our spirits! I used to hunt Ice Bears every day… Do you know how I caught them? …By grilling them alive!"

Pekora shocked Benlah and everyone else, even me.

She was quite devilish!

"Is that so?"

FLASH!

Benlah summoned several arrows made of ice and fired them at Pekora in quick succession, falling around her as Pekora began to charge her sunflower while evading and leaping around. Her agility was amazing. Apparently, she was enhancing her body agility with another Life Attribute Spell, and she was evading everything with incredible precision.

BOOOOMMM!

The sunflower released another blast of burning light, this time, Benlah evaded in time, but the explosion left a big crater in the battlefield, which was inside of Fuyu. I had made it with a lot of ice so it should take some time for her to melt the stage completely.

A lot of vapor emerged across the battlefield, but Benlah didn't give up, rushing around the mist and using an ice spell to enhance her stealth.

FLASH!

"Eh?!"

Pekora was surprised as my mother-in-law emerged right behind her, her fists were covered in ice!

"I said I was a mage, but I didn't say I won't abuse my strength."

CLAASH!

Pekora was thrown into the skies as she ended receiving part of the hit, although she protected herself with another Spirit, she summoned that resembled a Dandelion, which expanded into fluffy wool-like material.

BOOM!

The Dandelion Spirit disappeared the moment it took the hit, but the Sunflower was still atop of Pekora's head!

"Damn, that's an Ice Giant's strength for ya!" said Pekora.
