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

Chapter 755 Larzak's Infiltration

-----

The Chaos Spirit didn't knew that Larzak would still be defying him, however, even after seeing his people being brainwashed once more, even after being forced to pick those to be sacrificed like lambs, even after everything, he tried so much to break his mind… But to no avail, Larzak was someone that could not be easily broken.

He was not just a hero, he was his virus, someone within the group of lizardmen that was immune to his brainwashing, and that had the potential to actually defy him and infect the lizardman with ideals, to make them regain their own freedom from his authority as a dragon…

He was someone he should had never underestimated.

Especially now, as Larzak entered the dungeon the Chaos Spirit had just created.

"Hahh… I got inside." Muttered Larzak, looking around desperately, he felt completely exahsuted after having forcefully climbed the dungeon to get inside of its interior.

The first thing the valiant lizardman saw inside was… endless darkness. There were no walls, no floor, no ceiling, just pure darkness, obscurity, no light at all. For a moment, he didn't knew where to go, what to do, nor where he should even move to.

He was alone, his wife was not here, his friends were not here, there were no allies, no warriors at his side, he was alone with his spear and his magic, and his tattered body, his old yet incredibly strong body.

His magic…

Magic…

"My magic… Light."

FLUOOOSSSH!

Within a second, Larzak summoned the magic he had wielded since the beginning, Light Magic, and generated an enormous sphere of pure golden light that illuminated all the darkness within this place. He looked around curiously, finding the structure of the labyrinth.

The walls, ceiling, and floor were there, but it was invisible, he had to guide himself through his light, as If it was all finely planned. It felt as if he found a purpose to his journey. The light he had been forging and growing stronger through this entire time… to think that it would become the light that would lead him through the path to his foe… it was here.

But he was not alone. He felt someone watching him, the will of the dungeon, the dungeon core who had merged with the Chaos Spirit, the chaotic soul within the entity was watching him, an intruder had entered his body.

"Larzak from all people… You poor bastard, I have no longer any use to you… I will kill you and feast on you… Oooh, how much I've been waiting for this!"

FLUOSH!

"Ah!"

Larzak was startled, before his path, someone emerged, interrupting his movements, an entity, a figure made of pure darkness. It was slightly humanoid, and it slowly shaped itself into a being of darkness, a perfect copy of himself…

"What… what is this?"

"What do you think?"

His copy spoke back to him.

"Eh?!"

"Larzak, you're an annoying little lizard. I had been trying to get rid of you for so long… but like a cockroach, you keep coming back up no matter how many times I try to crush you."

"…"

"You're really… something else. I don't know what you are. Call it karma, or whatever. Somehow, you were born when I started doing my job… Is this the will of the world? The will of the gods?"

"What? Who are you?"

"I am the Scaled God, Larzak… Or as I really am… The Spirit of Chaos, Harzkhunn." The Spirit of Chaos revealed his name to this foolish lizardman, as the copy of darkness he made out of Larzak opened his crimson-red eyes, menacingly glancing into the lizardman's heart, directly into the depths of his soul and his spirit.

Larzak felt intimidated, his feet began to tremble and his legs began to weaken, he felt like he was facing an enormous pressure like nothing he had ever experienced… However, Larzak resisted it and confronted him back.

"Spirit of… Chaos?! So this was your real identity, Scaled God?! I knew it! You were never a real dragon!"

"Took you so long to realize that, stupid lizard." Sighed the Chaos Spirit. "Now I will take my time and kill you… Before you try doing anything funny while I confront the… calamity that had come to confront me."

"Calamity- Ungh?!"

CLAAASH! Googlᴇ search ɴovelFɪre.net

Larzak's clone made by the Chaos Spirit didn't waited for him to speak any more, as it reached him in an instant and clashed against his spear using his claws! The powerful claws were strong, but Larzak's spear had been tempered with metals and magic over many years, it had grown into an incredibly resilient magic weapon!

"This weapon can resist my blows?! Certainly, this is merely an avatar, but still, it should eb enough to kill you!" The Chaos Spirit said, moving forward and kicking Larzak in the chest, attempting to steal his spear afterwards, only to find Larzak's hand pointing at his face before he could realize it!

"Bright Flash."

FLAAAAAASSSSH!

An enormous flash of bright golden light covered the Chaos Spirit avatar shaped after Larzak, as Larzak's light magic proved to be… surprisingly effective against him! The light burned his entire body, slowly weakening, even!

"So this is it… My magic, it was made to kill you!" Said Larzak.

"Y-You arrogant bastard! Do you truly think you can kill me?! A Chaos Spirit such as me?!"

"I will never know until I try." Said Larzak, rushing towards the Chaos Spirit, as the two began to clash against one another constantly, Larzak felt as if his body was getting lighter instead of weaker, as if he was somehow being able to slowly keep up with the Chaos Spirit, while something else, within his heart awakened… the energy of life itself.

The hardships he had faced were not for nothing, his family's death were not for nothing, this pain he always felt, the guilt he always had to endure every morning, every day, every night… His undying will to protect his kin and bring them to safety, to protect their lives. Everything concentrated within his chest, as something… opened.

"This golden energy… It can't be! You, a lowly mortal?! You've… awakened Ki?!"
