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

-----

(Some Minutes Ago…)

While Benladann, Miranda, and Drake fought the Deep One's True Body with everything they had to not let him destroy the entire city. The rest of his allies scattered across the city. The Deep One was cunning, despite struggling to fight against three powerful enemies, he had been still moving and planning.

The scattered pieces of his body became monstrous masses of black miasma, which mutated into an army of thousands of monsters in mere seconds, rushing across the city and seeking people to devour and give back some energy through their souls to their main body.

However, Drake was a step ahead. He had sent his allies to quickly get rid of these monsters and to not allow them to reach the people that was running to the coast. And the center of this entire group was Ruby, his strongest ally after Benladann and Miranda, and someone that had mentally maturated and developed greatly after the fight against the Vampire Venerable.

Ruby quickly regrouped with Rakasha and the two lizardmen, Kraxka and Larzak, who had remained in the city and did not visit the Dream Dungeon to guard the civilians. With her came Hector as well, as he was worried about the lizardmen and left the castle to the four powerful children, Yuki, Pekora and Tisha.

And of course, one of Drake's Doppelgangers was with her, on his inconspicuous Blue Slime Form atop Ruby's head. Rakasha felt relieved when he saw Ruby, but he literally had no time to greet her properly, as he was crushing with his blazing hammer several Giant Eldritch Horrors that were roaming around the city.

"Ruby! You're here!" Rakasha said.

"Hector too! And is that a slime from master?!" Kraxka wondered.

"Good timing, we're barely hanging out in here! These monsters are too strong!" Larzak said.

"Ruby!" Ruby's mother called her from afar, as she was containing hundreds of monsters by herself, using a giant wall of blood.

At her side there were also a large squadron of at least fifty skilled vampires that were at least Rank 8 Initial Stage, which had become Ruby and her mother's "royal guard".

"Yeah, I'm back! But we honestly don't have any time to talk!" Said Ruby. "Drake, can you help me out with this?!"

"I'm on it already!" Drake said, quickly beginning to unleash his Divine Power. "These monsters are spreading too fast, we can't let them reach the people at all!"

"Then let's do it!" Ruby channeled her powerful Divine Magic together with Drake's boost, and then touched the ground with her palm, imbuing countless ruins and divine magical circuits of crimson color into the floor through the Rune Creation and Spirit Creation Abilities that Drake let her borrow through their Spiritual Connection. "[Primordial Blood Divine Magic]: [Primordial Blood World Domain]!"

FLAAAAAAASH!

The runes and divine magical circuits spread across the entire land rapidly, the city's floor was covered by it, and then a flash of bright red light erected into the skies, forming a barrier of blood and light, barely managing to contain the Eldritch Monsters from reaching the people that was running away.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The monsters immediately attempted to tear apar that barrier, but it was impossible to do it easily. After all, the barrier Ruby erected was a derivation of the barrier Red had used to protect her castle from Drake's attacks back when Ruby was kidnaped.

"ROOOAARR!"

"GRUOOORRR!"

"GYOGYOGYOH…."

The Aberrations were frustrated as they were incapable of reaching the people, who were simply a few meters from their reach. If Ruby had delayed even a single second, hundreds of people could had been devoured.

"We have to slay as many as we can!" Ruby roared. "Let's go! Don't separate yourselves too much!"

Ruby flew into the skies with her Vampiric bat-like wings, waving her hand as she summoned her Divine Aura resembling a sea of blood which then shapeshifted into thousands of swords.

"[Blood Judgement]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The Blood Projectiles fell over the monsters like an endless rain of attacks, tearing them down one by one after they took many hits. Explosions of crimson flames spread across the ruins.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"You heard my daughter!" Ruby's mother said, as her vampire squadron quickly started fighting monsters that were stuck to the walls, their biggest priority.

The barrier wasn't invincible, if they kept trying to dissolve it with their miasma and chaos energy, they might eventually end up breaking through. This was why they needed to target them first.

"[Blood Rain]!"The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"[Crimson Lightning]!"

"[Blood Sword Slash]!"

"[Vampiric Swarm]!"

The unified vampires conjured techniques and blood magic constantly, unleashing explosions, slashing attacks, and swarms of bats made of blood that started devouring the Eldritch monsters one after the other.

Their attacks were effective to an extent, but the Eldritch Monsters were incredibly resilient. Even when torn to pieces, their pieces would simply turn back into smaller monsters and then fuse back with each other.

As a result, they had to constantly attack them until they evaporated completely, putting a lot of work and effort into the whole ordeal. Nonetheless, they still had powerful allies with them.

"[Shining Meteor Fist]!" Larzak roared, channeling his Light Element into his fists as they suddenly were encompassed by enormous fists made out of his own divine aura, which fell over the monsters like meteors.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The monsters groaned in agony, the light was their worst enemy, they began dissipating rapidly by it, which made Larzak and Hector stay in the frontlines, attacking the monsters with their light and weakening them for those behind to take down.

"[Valkyrie Summon]! [Holy Light Spear Rain]!"

Hector summoned five Valkyries, his current limit, as they conjured hundreds of spears made of light and shoot them down into the monsters like an endless rain of light.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!

Meanwhile, Ruby oversaw the skies while constantly using her long-ranged attacks, healing spells and support spells with Drake's help, keeping this disaster from becoming something even worse.

She glanced into the castle, worried about what might be happening there, as she sensed an intense battle happening within the castle's interior.

"I hope they can do it."
