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

"What we really need now is a dwarf then." I said.

We all suddenly looked at Charlotte.

"Eh? Huh?"

"Do Half-Dwarves count?" I wondered.

"Yes they do… Oh, is Charlotte participating?" Asked Aria while feeling slightly excited.

"O-Of course not! I would never participate in something so dangerous! I will die before I could even get out of such a terrifying place!" Charlotte cried. "I am just a captain…"

"We'll triple your pay. Also, we'll protect you, don't worry." I said.

"Uugh… T-Three times the pay? Tentative but I pass!" She said.

"I see… Four times." I said.

"Uuuggh…"

"Five."

"Eehh…"

"Okay, ten! Ten times your pay!"

"T-That's… please stop!"

"Twenty…"

"O-Okay! Okay! I'll do it! With that I can live like over ten years without worrying about expenses…."

I guess money always wins.

"How can you get so much money though…" She said.

"I am strong so I can just hunt and sell monsters and other things until I get the money…" I shrugged. "I also sell Mana Cores."

"I see… It is a lot of intricate processes." She answered. "But… I-I hope you protect me well, okay?"

"Sure, we'll even give you amazing equipment to protect you even better." I said with a nod.

"Equipment?" Charlotte perhaps had never worn an armor piece before.

"How exciting. If you truly want to go the frost tower right now, you should quickly prepare. I think your party is good enough to enter." Said Aria.

"Yeah, but we'll bring Larzak as well." I said. "Maybe Kraxka too? I doubt Miminga will be allowed to come- Wait we need a human too." I sighed.

"Damn it, we lack humans." Said Tisha.

"No, wait, I can bring Hector, can't I? Yeah! Kraxka, Larzak, and Hector should do." I said with a nod.

"How are you planning on bringing them here though-"

"Spirit Creation: Dungeon Teleportation Trap Spirit."

FLAAASH!

I quickly decided to bring my newest invention. It was the classic Dungeon Teleportation Trap… made into a Spirit! Indeed, as I can create Spirits of all elements, even Space, I simply created a Rank 6 Space-Attribute Spirit I had custom made which was shaped into the same shape as a Teleportation Trap from Dungeons I conveniently used to teleport around through special nodes inside my home.

However, those were always limited and continued to cost more and more Dungeon Points with each creation, and I wanted to use Dungeon Points to gain Divine Power instead, so I came out with the smart invention of simply replicating them into a spirit form.

"Fooo!"

The Dungeon Teleportation Trap Spirit had the shape of a large piece of floor with a giant magic circle plastered on top. It wasn't imaginative at all, but it worked. And without having to use Dungeon Points for it.

"A-A Spirit?! You can simply create Spirits?!" For the first time we saw Aria ask in shock. This was probably not within any prophecy's information.

"Indeed, I acquired this power by completing the Inheritance of the Venerable of Dreams, which is our ally by the way." I said.

"I-Incredible! You not only completed already an inheritance from a venerable, but even made her your ally, despite being a Demon Venerable?!" She asked.

"She's not really a demon, she was just misunderstood." I sighed.

"M-Misunderstood?" Asked Aria.

"Well, I can explain that on another occasion. I feel you'll become our long-term ally for the future… Anyways, little spirit, connect back home, bring the guys." I said.

"Fooo!"

The Dungeon Teleportation Trap Spirit gave a cute noise and quickly sat down over the ground, as it shone with bright blue color, in mere seconds, two burly lizardmen emerged a bit surprised, alongside a youthful human man with a blue slime sitting over his left shoulder. Calling them as easy, I just did it with the Doppelganger back home.

"Lord Drake, we have come as you requested us- Ugh! This place is cold!" Larzak cried, as he felt the coldness of the environment. Lizardmen were cold-blooded, so colder places were obviously quite bad for them.

"I-I seem to have just teleported all the way to another completely different place. And indeed, it is extremely cold here…" Kraxka muttered.

"Long time no see Sir Drake." Said Hector.

"How has everything been going, Hector, Larzak, Kraxka?" I asked.

"Good, we were just training and drinking more of the potions the alchemists made for a fee." Said Hector. "I just reached Rank 5 Peak Stage. Throw me any trial, I am ready!" Said Hector cheerfully.

"Likewise, we are all Peak Stage of Rank 5." Said Kraxka.

"Indeed, it is all thanks to your support and opportunities, lord Drake. Our tribe is eternally grateful to you. The moment we heard you needed us; we came running here." Said Larzak.

"I see, I am grateful you guys are so considerate. Oh! How's Miminga and the baby?" I asked Hector and Kraxka.

"Miminga is already pregnant again, this man doesn't seem to be able to calm his lust!" Kraxka complained, crossing his arms.

"I already apologized, father-in-law!" Cried Hector.

"And well, the child is alright, she's wandering around everywhere, and biting things. She's at that stage. She looks promising and strong." Said Kraxka, quickly smiling. He seems to be a good grandpa.

"Hahaha! Maybe I should have another child with my wife myself." Said Larzak. "I miss raising a little one myself."

As the three men talked, Aria stood in silence looking at the scene.

"I-Incredible, Drake simply brought three people from so far away in mere seconds…" She said, looking at the spirit that slowly dissipated. "Eh? It's gone already?"

"Yeah, they disappear after being used once." I said. "But I can keep making more anyways."

"A-Amazing…" Aria said. "You're truly the Dragon King after all!" She said happily, almost as if she was proclaiming it to the heavens.

"Can we get a roundabout about everything going on?" Asked Hector.

"Sure thing, let me explain you." I said.

And like that, we spent a few minutes explaining our new party members everything that had happened until now, and the Trial. I also used this opportunity to give the lizardmen Ice Resistance Bracelets and Rings so they can resist the cold temperatures better.
