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

Within the interior of the castle of the Aquarius country, the Queen panicked as the entire ground started shaking. An entity from below began to move rapidly, attempting to break his seal faster and faster.

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

The Blue Orb Fragment in front of her, resting above an altar was beginning to shake rapidly, as an enormous, black and red aura of pure malice started surging from within.

"Master! What is the meaning of this?!" Cried the Queen. Her Stigma was beginning to glow brightly and emanated a powerful, deadly energy. "Are you trying to manifest yourself?! But now?! Weren't we going to wait for a good opportunity?!"

"ENOUGH WITH WAITING!" The Deep One's voiced echoed from the Blue Orb Fragment. "That Dragon has acquired two Stigmas and two Orb Fragments! He has beaten everything I've sent to HIM! Do you truly believe I have more patience for you and your incompetent people?!"

"But my lord, if you emerge now… the city…!" Cried the Queen. As if the last bits of humanity within her tried to speak. Only for the Deep One's powers to conquer her own body once more. "Unnggh…! AAGGH…!"

The darkness began to parasitize her body, her eyes started glowing bright red.

"The city?!" Asked the Deep One. "DO YOU THINK I CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PITIFUL CITY?! All of these mortals… SHALL BE MY SACRIFICES! NOW… BEGIN PREPARATIONS!"

"Unnggh… Y-Yes… My lord." The Queen groaned, her entire body being engulfed on shadows and darkness. "All mortals shall become your sacrifices, to the greater King of the Seas, the true God of the Oceans… Everybody, prepare yourselves! Our King shall honor us with his rebirth!"

Her darkness had already brainwashed everyone in the castle, they instantly obeyed her words, quickly beginning to prepare a special ritual. In the middle of the hall there were several magic circles and inscriptions, and hundreds of magic crystals holding souls.

These were the hundreds of souls of many people they had been sacrificing over the years, waiting for the right moment to utilize them. Innocents they captured, killed, and whose souls were encapsulated here to be used in the Deep One's "Rebirth".

They were hundreds, no, thousands of magic crystals, and each one had at least a hundred souls each… The amount of people the church of the Sea God has killed behind the scenes, aiming for the resurrection of the Deep One was simply staggering.

"HURRY! He's coming… He's already coming here!" The Deep One panicked, making the entire castle tremble.

"We are doing it as fast as we can, my lord! But the preparations require time!" The Queen cried, as she quickly saw a little girl being brought to the hall. The preparations were almost complete.

"You're finally here, my dear." The Queen smiled evilly, seeing the little girl. She had almost the same age as Rose, the young mermaid girl holding the Stigma of Illusions and Mirages.

Differently than Rose, however, she had long and silky dark purple hair, with purple eyes that seemed tired and exhausted. Her skin was incredibly pale, and her scales were dark purple as well, with a long sea snake-like tail behind her back and sharp tooths like those of sharks, alongside a sharp fin in her back.

A third, red colored eye opened in her forehead, glancing at the queen. The girl's exhausted expression changed, as she smiled slightly hopefully, yet creepily.

"Mother… It is finally time?" She asked.

"Yes, my dearest." The Queen said. "It is finally time for the rebirth of our God."

The girl nodded, her Stigma glowing brightly with the shape of a black squid with a single red eye, while the queen's Stigma glowed with the shape of a sea snake.

"Finally… He is coming… God…" The girl giggled.

"Yes, my dear Eleanor." Said the Queen.

The two stood over a magic circle. Alongside them, there were dozens of other helpers that remained around the magic circles, over nodes that specifically said, "living sacrifices".

"Let's begin!" The Queen said, as she raised her hand alongside her daughter's hand.

Both Stigmas reacted to the magic circles and the powerful magic, all coming together into a mass of darkness and malevolence. The Deep One's presence within both Stigmas had fully awakened and taken over their bodies, facilitating the process of unsealing.

FLAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

The streams of darkness reached the magic circles, as they started rotating and glowing brightly. The power of the Stigmas was constantly being drained and reunited back with the Deep One down below, while the Blue Orb Shard in the castle and the one within the Deep One's body worked as connections.

TRUUUUMMM…! TRUUUUUMMM…! TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

The entire country started to tremble. Houses began falling apart easily. The church collapsed out of the blue; the castle was beginning to fall apart. The entire island was trembling constantly!

"W-What's happening?!"

"The entire castle's trembling and falling apart!"

"An earthquake?!"

"Ruuuun!"

The people quickly panicked, as they all started running away into the island's coast by the thousands. Drake's Spirits stationed there quickly started moving everywhere, saving the lives of many people that were almost crushed by the buildings falling apart.

Rakasha and everyone else that stayed in the city watched from the skies at what was happening, waiting for Drake to come. The darkness continued growing larger and larger, until the surrounding landscape around the castle began shattering apart, opening into the depths, the dark depths where an ancient evil was once sealed.

Countless tentacles started emerging from the ground, with red eyes, glancing around at the surroundings. The nobles who were all living around the castle were the first ones to meet these horrors as they ran away.

CLAAAASH! CLAAAASH! CRAAAAASH!

The tentacles quickly started piercing the ground, attempting to lift the enormous size of something coming from below, slowly trying to drag itself out of his dark, abyssal chasms…

"Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHA…!"

Crack… crack… CRAAAASH!

However, the barrier protecting the castle area and protecting the Deep One's rebirth was quickly shattered by a gigantic dragon that appeared from within the skies, holding an enormous trident.

The Deep One was shocked, as his summoning was still midway through, his countless eyed tentacles glared at Drake, the King of Dragons, descending into the castle and then using the trident's powers to interrupt the summoning and unsealing ritual!

"STOP! NO…!"

CRAAAAAAASSSSHHHH…!
