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

As I was decimating this bastard's toy, he suddenly gets two tricks out of his metallic ass.

"Hmph… Not yet! Magic Barrier, Gamma Blade!"

Seriously?

He suddenly activates something within the mechanism of the mech, as the magic within the mana core battery within the chest area, which I was not able to blow away somehow, generated a semi-transparent bluish barrier around the mech, and alongside that, it suddenly generated a giant blade made of what seemed to be… plasma?!

He swung the blade around as all the projectiles I sent at him were destroyed in a second, while those that managed to slip through his attacks were blocked by the mana barrier.

"Haha! Let's see if you can fight against me now! Scared? Don't worry, I will not kill you! Merely slice your limbs and capture you!"

The bastard quickly rushed towards me, as Skadi was barely cracking a bit of its mana barrier!

That barrier is tough… However, it's draining the mana of the mech constantly, it won't last forever!

And it's not like I can't brute force my way through!

Or so, I would like to think, but with Benladann unconscious, I am a bit restrained in what I can do…

I flew around while firing projectiles of ice constantly to distract him, even creating large icebergs this time, and crashing against the mana barrier, but only leaving some cracks on it, while the powerful gamma blade seemed to be able to slice through anything…

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Hm… It is quite interesting how you can keep firing magic, do you have an endless source of mana like that one girl? No… It must be something like a large regeneration, or perhaps mana absorption from the environment?" wondered the man, relaxedly fighting against me as I gritted my teeth and flew around to evade his lashing attacks, however, he suddenly enhanced his propulsors and flew across a large distance in an instant, reaching to me and swinging his blade!

However, before it reached me, I quickly released a powerful breath attack against him, which the gamma blade wasn't able to simply slice, hitting the mech's mana barrier and throwing it into the skies for a few seconds!

BOOOM!

"What a troublesome breath attack… Dragons are true quite the pain to deal with!"

However, the mana barrier shielded the entire damage, and although it ended cracked and began to even shatter, it was still as strong as ever!

I have to charge my breath attack before releasing it for it to be strong enough, so I cannot constantly fire them.

SLASH!

Suddenly, the gamma blade almost got me, but I quickly evaded in time, although my left arm was cleanly sliced by it!

This blade is bad news! Its power is way above what my scales can withstand! It simply goes through anything like a hot knife through butter!

A river of blood gushes out of my large wound, as my arm falls over the ground, the man begins to laugh a bit.

"See? Gamma Blade can slice through anything! And your speed might be good, but my mech's speed is even better when using its Mana Engine!" said the man.

Mana Engine? Is this what this thing is using to fuel itself using the mana core battery?

I didn't want to show this bastard my ability, but I guess there's no option because my arm is already growing back!

"Oh?! Is that super regeneration?" he asked.

It seems that he didn't think of it being Immortal Body… good.

In a few seconds, my arm was back up, even with a new row of scales, as I flew away from him once more, without attempting to get into close combat due to wanting to protect Benladann. If that Gamma Blade were to slice through her… She would be as good as dead! And I can't use my body to shield her from such a blade, so the only option is to run.

This is hurting my pride a lot, but if I keep running away, I can slowly deplete him of his Mana.

This guy doesn't even seem serious about this fight, and he is testing what kind of Abilities I possess, most likely wanting to guess what kind of Unique Skill I have. Perhaps he is a sicko that collects reincarnated people? Or maybe he has found a way to steal their Unique Skills?!

Well, whatever is the damn case, I can't let him get near me at all!

I continued to fly in circles, as he sometimes caught up to me and I managed to evade in time by firing a breath attack, slowly cracking more of his mana barrier, while he sometimes managed to slice my arm or my tail.

I had somehow managed to attack it with my tail using spear and whip techniques together, the power f the attack was enough to leave a large crack on the mana barrier, but it was still not enough!

I checked its status, and it seemed to be down to 4k Mana as of now, but he seemed just as energetic. Does he have a trump card? Or is he merely testing me, without caring about losing or winning?

"I have sliced your limbs four times now and they had all grown back perfectly! What kind of Unique Skill do you have? Not even Super Regeneration is that fast, and usually, after the first regenerations, it slows down as the user of such Abilities is usually Vampires…" said the man.

What? Vampires?

Are there Vampires here? In the Norse Mythology world?!

Seriously?

Perhaps there is someone with a Unique Ability that made them into a Vampire, and then it spread around? It is the only guess I have.

As I continued to evade and shower him with powerful icebergs, storms of wind, and more, I began to ask him things.

"What is your purpose? Why are you gathering Unique Skill users? What's your endgame?! I am not buying at all that you simply want to make the image of reincarnated people better just because you're a good-hearted guy because you're clearly rotten to the core!" I said.

"Why would I tell this to a lizard? My goals are far ahead of your measly existence, you wouldn't even understand a thing," he said, he said, approaching me and swinging his blade!

SLASH!

I quickly used winds to impulse myself, evading in time, as I charged another breath attack!

"You're the type of guy that really gets on my nerves… Let me tell you something! I will find you, and I will kill you, Greenwood!" I roared, as I opened my jaws and released a massive breath attack, the beam of twisting blue and green colors clashed against his mana barrier, finally shattering it into pieces, as the beam continued and hit the mech's body, piercing the chest and reaching into the mana core battery at long last!

CRASH!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire mech began to explode once more, falling over the ground and leaving a loud explosion, as pieces of its body exploded around, reaching everywhere.

"Kill me? What a naïve fool…"

BOOOOM!!!

Saying those last words, the entire mech was blasted into pieces, and there didn't seem to be any more around…

It was over…
