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

All of the group ganging on Austr quickly began to wear him down at long last, the ice giant vampire, that was as resilient and powerful as a titan, began to finally weaken every second that passed, overwhelmed with attacks that came from all around, he was being covered in wounds!

And because his wounds were wide open and his regeneration had weakened greatly thanks to the poison of Vasilisius, it was the perfect opportunity for Rose to strike!

Rose was a Blood and Darkness Ghost, her two strongest attributes while she was alive were transferred over, and became the main ones of her existence… Of course, a ghost composed of blood seemed like nothing but fantasy, and a strange one at that, something that not many could had ever guessed would happen.

However, as someone that was always obsessed with drinking the blood of her enemies, and as a sadistic woman that bathed in the blood of her foes constantly, blood was very much like part of her very identity!

Ghosts are able to gain an element aside from death when they reach this point, they acquire the power of an element that "makes them", something that identifies them. However, there are also cases of ghosts that acquire elements based on traumas… perhaps one of Rose's traumas was related with darkness and blood, aside from her own element, there was something within it that had shaped her in such a way.

Austr had been surprised when he saw the very face of one of the strongest Vampires within the Rank 4 Division, she was feared amongst the other Vampires as the "Scarlet Knight" due to her ability to generate an armor using blood magic by metalizing the iron within the blood.

He was someone that even he feared to an extent, even though he had managed to grow comparably stronger to her or even stronger over this time since her death, he was given this new rank as a leader because of her death.

Finding her "alive" and as a ghost to boot was something impacting for Austr! Rose was someone whose ruthlessness and mercilessness he admired greatly. She was a powerful and domineering woman that led her troops with great authority.

But now… she died, and was now converted into a ghost, and controlled by his enemy, the culprit behind this, the one hiding inside of that invisible and gigantic structure floating in the sky!

Austr just wanted to know who this man was, who was this being capable of even conquering the mind of such a woman and force her into becoming his Undead slave…

However, he had no time to wonder such things, Rose encompassed his body with her own phantom, and began to drain all the blood she could find through his open wounds!

"Damn it!!!"

Austr roared angrily, using all the strength he could must to attack the woman with his magic-infused fist, but he was too weak now, Rose quickly evaded him and used her very phantasmal fists to give him several punches in his face!

BOOM! BOOM!

"Unngh…!" Austr cried in pain.

"Would you keep quiet for now? I don't want to bother with you anymore than this!" said Rose.

She was just as domineering as he remembered her to be, even after dying and serving someone else than their glorious empress!

Austr grabbed his sword and was about to slash Rose with it, attempting to slash her in half with the power of the darkness within the cursed blade, only to feel a sharp pain on his hand as Uller finally managed to land a cleaner hit on him now that he was growing very weak, slicing off his hand and making him lose his blade, which fell into the ground from the skies where he was floating in!

SLASH!

"Unngh?! A-Aggh…! No!" he cried.

"Need some backup?"

And just when things were getting terrible, even more terrible things happened, as Skadi reached the area and used her powerful spearing attacks to pierce through Austr's body, piercing his chest!

SLASH!

"Ungh?! What the…?!"

Austr looked at Skadi's entire body, an enormously long spear was piercing through his chest and attempting to freeze his entire body through the large wound!

"Aghh… No…! NO!"

Austr roared angrily, until his very last moments, he was struggling! He unleashed a shockwave of pure energy out of his body, as Skadi was suddenly blown away, alongside Rose, and everyone else!

Vasilisius felt like his phantom waved a lot, losing a large chunk out of it, he looked down in intrigue, the Vampire had unleashed a last and desperate attack!

TRUUUUMMM…!

"Agh…! Hahhh… I won't… I won't die…!" muttered Austr, his eyes were filled with blazing conviction, he had not done so many things and gotten this far just to die miserably against a bunch of nobodies!

But reality was often disappointing, after his initial explosive shockwave, he felt incredibly fatigued, to the point that he grew lethargic.

"Ugh…"

And then…!

SLAAAASH!

"Ah…!"

A gigantic blade made of ice sliced through his neck. Uller quickly decided to behead him while he was weakened!

Austr looked at his own body as his head slowly grew farther away from his body… his eyes twisted in agony as he gritted his teeth, blood gushing out of his cleanly cut head.

"Ahh… Agh…"

In normal circumstances, he could even have enough strength to regrow a new body, weakened, but it would be a new body, nonetheless.

However, he attempted to do this and the only thing he felt was even more pain.

His mind slowly started to black out too, and his senses began to weaken and grow duller… he was fading away, growing weaker and weaker, until the point that he was going to die very soon.

"Ugh… T-To think my life would end like this… So… miserable… I am sorry… Empress…" he thought to himself, as darkness engulfed his mind…

Drake nodded, grabbing his soul, and quickly grasping it tightly with his hand.

"EH?!"

Austr's consciousness was quickly brought back to reality, as she found himself as a bare soul in front of the perpetrator behind this entire thing!

"Welcome." Said Drake.
