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

Before us there was an enormous ice cube. Inside of the ice cube there were two monsters from the past. A Chaos Spirit and a Chaotic Beast. From what I've learned, Chaos Spirits are the intelligent inhabitants of the Chaotic Plane, a different dimension where these invaders have come from. Meanwhile, the Chaotic Beasts are like the animals or monsters of such a place.

It seems the Chaos Spirits used Chaotic Beasts as their tamed monsters, using their power to push their invasion over the world of Yggdrasil. Of course, at the end, they were defeated, but many remnants remained, sealed elsewhere, somewhere… Benladann has the power to absorb such remnants and free the world from the chaotic essence they emanate, which in larger quantities could threaten the world as a whole.

And right now, Benladann had made up her mind about absorbing them to grow stronger, quickly realizing that this was perhaps a duty only she could do, as the only one capable of freeing the world from the Chaos and Miasma left behind, which is still, until this day, infecting the world and threatening a future where we want to live peacefully with our family. Because of the future we want, we have to work hard to achieve it. Even if it means going against tremendously strong opponents and an enemy that has been threatening this world since its very beginning, Oberon.

"The I shall begin." Benladann said, touching the ice cube as she fused with Miranda back.

CRASH!

The ice cube immediately shattered into pieces, as both the Chaos Spirit and the Chaotic Beast were freed. Right after being freed, both were enraged. The Chaos Spirit suddenly grew in size, resembling a monstrous mass of shadow tentacles with many red eyes, screaming angrily at us as if feeling threatened, while the wolf-like Chaotic Beast roared furiously, showing us its sharp teeth.

"I won't let you hurt anybody anymore!" Benladann roared, quickly unleashing her soul out of her body.

TRUUUUUUMMM…!

A sudden shiver reached everyone's backs, me included, as we looked into a gigantic mass of darkness emerge from within Benladann's soul, shapeless and formless, it shaped according to her desires. The Chaos Spirit and the Chaotic Beast were left completely hopeless as they were forcefully grabbed by Benladann's soul and promptly devoured whole…

GULP.

Benladann quickly pulled her soul back to her body, as she felt an enormous quantity of power emerging from within her soul… however, she seemed to be also struggling, as if an internal battle was ongoing within her mind!

As Drake looked at Benladann with concern, thinking if he should help her deal with this challenge or not, within Benladann's Mind and Soul, an internal battle was ongoing. Both the Chaos Spirit and the Chaotic Beast immediately offered resistance the moment they were forcefully eaten.

"Where are we?! Y-You're able to devour us?!" The Chaos Spirit asked furiously, shooting red and black lasers around Benladann's soul, attempting to hurt her internally. However, any damage dealt was easily blocked.

Or more like… it didn't even dealt any damage at all! Benladann quickly emerged before the two, alongside Miranda and… another Chaos Spirit with her. And even Shiro, her Moonlight Dragon Spirit, which had evolved into a Divine Dragon Spirit!

"Y-You… Who are you?! What is happening?!" The Chaos Spirit that was absorbed recently asked. "Wait! You're one of us?! Why are you with them?!"

The chaos spirit Benladann had absorbed before seemed slightly embarrassed but ended speaking anyways.

"Don't fight, you'll only make things worse for yourself, brother." He said.

"What?! Are you willingly cooperating with her?! You know this is treason, right?!" The Chaos Spirit recently absorbed asked. "We are meant to take over this world because our own is slowly dying! Can't you understand the gravity of our situation?!"

"I know it very well!" Said Benladann's Chaos Spirit. "But can't you realize how long you've been frozen?"

"Eh? Frozen?" The other Chaos Spirit asked.

"The war ended long ago." Benladann said. "All of you… lost. The majority were all sealed, and the others ran away back to your original world."

"W-Wha…?!"

The Chaos Spirit suddenly felt filled with despair, getting these news from an enemy made it even worse. His red eyes seemed filled with despair instead of the abyssal power they held before. Although the composition of Chaos Spirits was so different than the inhabitants of Yggdrasil or even this dimension as a whole, they held similar emotions and personalities, and were absurdly humane.

"No…"

The chaos spirit suddenly fell into the floor, filled with despair. His loyal Chaotic Beast suddenly noticed his master feeling completely down, as he began to whimper.

"Arf… Arf!"

"Blackie…"

The chaos spirit sighed, caressing his beast. It seemed that he held a similar bond of a human with their pet, a bond of friendship they shared over many years, eons. They knew that what they were doing was morally wrong, attacking and taking over the world of another species while killing everything else… but they had to do it, for their own survival and the prosperity of their race.

"Is our dimension still up? Are there any news?" He wondered after a bit of silence.

"From what we have learned from the Venerables, yes, it still exists, and there might be a portal to that place." Benladann said.

"There is…? What are your real intentions anyways? Why haven't you forcefully devoured our wills and souls if you're perfectly capable of?" the chaos spirit asked.

"Because I promised this one that I will help you all." Benladann said, with a compassionate smile.

"You? Help us?" Asked the chaos spirit dumbfounded. "Why?! We have… invaded your world and done so much slaughter… why would you want to help us?!"

"Because… I don't want to continue a circle of destruction and hate." Sighed Benladann. "It's also not really my personality to just slaughter others endlessly, and knowing you all were just like us in many aspects makes it harder… And well, this is also something I promise Blake. He's very empathic sometimes, so he couldn't simply allow all Chaos Spirits to die… Honestly, he's quite the handful!"
