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

Benladann's mother and father were finally "revived". Thought… They are not really alive; they have become Undead.

B-But what's important is that they're here with us! And I've modified their bodies so they're as fresh as alive. As long as I am here, I can use Corpse Healing to keep their bodies in top condition.

Benladann hugged her parents tightly, as they recognized her voice and hugged her too.

"Is this a dream? What happened?" wondered her mother.

"Mama, I missed you so much!" cried Benladann, as her tears continued to flow like rivers.

"Ahh… My beautiful little girl… I missed you so much too…"

Her mother began to shower Benladann with kisses, as she started to cry as well.

"My little princess!"

Her father hugged her too, as he began to kiss her forehead and cheeks.

"Papaaa!"

Benladann began to cry even louder, feeling her father's embrace must feel very good.

I look at the scene from behind as I have a knot in my throat. I never thought I could feel this happiness over the happiness of someone else. Is this what loving someone so much that you want them to be happier than anyone feels like?

"What happened? Why did you leave us?" asked her father.

"I-I was scared… I-I… I can explain it later… B-But I am sorry for doing that… I should have told you beforehand… I shouldn't have done things rashly… Sniff…"

"We missed you so much… every day we would go out looking for you, but no matter how much we traveled around the mountain, we never found you…" cried her mother.

"We prayed to Ymir-sama so he could protect you and bring you back to us… And he had heard our prayers…" cried her father.

"I am so happy that you're here…" cried her mother.

The three hugged and spoke with each other for a while until the two parents finally noticed my presence.

"Eh? Ah… S-Sorry, we didn't notice you, young man… Aahh, I feel so dizzy…" sighed her mother.

"Oh, don't worry. My name's Drake, glad to meet my parents-in-law at long last. It really took a while to repair your body to this condition… I am honestly exhausted…" I sighed in relief.

"R-Repair?" asked her mother.

"Young lad… Did you revive us? Ah…!"

Suddenly, Benladann's parents remembered everything. It seems that their minds were still readjusting themselves to their brains.

"We… we died…" muttered Benladann's mother.

"This… Now I remember… Indeed…" sighed her father.

"D-Don't remember those things… What's important is that… we brought you back! It took a while but… Drake is amazing… He has done so many things for me… I love him so much… He even worked so hard just to bring you back…" sighed Benladann, as she hugged me.

"Thank you…" she said while crying.

"Don't worry about it. It's the least I could do for you. You're also my most precious treasure," I said, as I kissed her.

"D-Drake…"

Her parents looked at us with dizzy and confused expressions.

"S-Since, when did our daughter, got a husband?" asked her father.

"I-I don't know… it seems that the man that revived us is her lover… A lot of things had happened since she left, I might guess…" said her mother.

"W-Well, I cannot really act rude, he revived us and all…" said her father.

"Indeed, though, we would like a brief explanation of everything…" sighed her mother.

"Haha, yes… But how about you get some clothes?" I laughed, as I opened my inventory and gave them clothes.

"Oh, we were naked… S-Sorry!" cried Benladann's mother.

"We didn't realize… I guess these bodies, despite being ours, really feel quite different…" said her father.

"Put your clothes already, old man! C-Can we have some privacy?" asked her mother.

"Yes, let's go outside," I said, holding Benladann's hands and walking outside the room.

Benladann hugged me tightly as she rested her head over my chest.

"Thank you… Thank you for everything…" she sighed.

I smiled warmly as I began to caress her long and silvery-white hair. Her beautiful yellow-gold eyes glanced at me lovingly, as I cleaned the little tears left.

"It's fine, you've already thanked me. It is not as if I truly revived them… I cannot do that yet; they've become something like Undead…" I sighed.

"T-That doesn't matter! I saw them move and all… and they're here, conscious, speaking with me… their bodies seem alive… What else would I want? You did such an amazing work…" she sighed.

"I suppose we could say they're alive in that case… Though, I've reinforced their bodies and made them innately stronger," I said.

"Eh?" asked Benladann in surprise.

"Sorry…. I should have told you beforehand. I reinforced their bones using my Magic Ice until they became incredibly sturdy. I also melted my scales and reinforced each bone as well. After that, I infused my own blood into their recovered flesh, which also came mixed with Mana Core dust, to enhance their magic capabilities and mana capacity. Afterward, I added several Mana Cores into their bodies, there's one in each limb, which will enhance their mana and magic capacity even more. And lastly, I enhanced their skin and the rest of the body with many Runes so they could be at top condition." I said.

"W-Woah… Y-You did all of that in these four days?!" she asked.

"Yeah, well, I slowly prepared things up, but it all worked nicely. Are you… not angry for doing that to the bodies of your parents? I think I could restore them back to it…" I said.

"No, of course not! That's incredible, this way, they can be stronger from the get-go and grow even stronger at our side! I won't let them die anymore!" said Benladann with conviction in her voice. She wasn't the same girl I met back then, she had definitely grown stronger both in power and in her mind. She also seemed more mature, and something was enchanting on it.

"Yeah, we'll make them train and get stronger… Though, for now, why we don't give them something to eat?" I asked.

"Sure! Let's eat something all four of us!"
