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

The Sect Master of the Jade Snake Sect, Thaletus Jade Snake confronted the Sect Master of the Winter Lotus Sect, Mikohime Winter Lotus.

He asked her what she wanted… a simple question.

However, h is magic aura emanated the power of his mana core, and a poisonous snake emerged around him, coiling around his body…

This was just his mere aura's shape, not any sort of beast attached to him.

He was threatening her.

Mikohime relaxed, she wasn't here to fight, and surprised Thaletus as she didn't released any sort of aura and remained still and calm.

"Thaletus, I came here to talk, my grandchild has come to ask for forgiveness, he also said he'll talk about what happened that day. We came here not only for that though, as our intention is to help you with resources." Said Mikohime.

Every Jade Snake Sect Member was left dumbfounded.

They looked at Mikohime with disbelief.

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

"She's serious…"

"Shew ants to help us with supplies and resources?!"

"Why?"

"And she brought that kid that killed Lord Zephyr!"

"Is this to shove it on our faces?!"

"She intends something shady!"

The Sect Master gave a mocking smile.

"You're really naïve to think that such an easy to discern trick would work on an old snake like me, Mikohime. You've clearly come here tow wipe us out while we are still weakened!" said Thaletus.

"That's not true, and I have come with someone special that also helped us when we were being attacked by the Dark Shadow Sect the second time… He is our hero and savior, and the man that I own everything…" said Mikohime, presenting Drake.

Drake stepped forward.

His aura was so strong everyone froze, only Thaletus stood unmoved by his power, but easily could tell how monstrous he was.

"You… Who are you?" asked Thaletus.

"Name's Drake Winter Dragon. I am the Emperor of the Winter Dragon Empire. I have helped Mikohime's sect and now they had joined my Empire to acquire my protection. I only intend to do the same with your sect. I have come in your direst need with resources and supplies. The only thing I ask is for you to become my allies." Said Drake. His words were bold, some even thought they were childish, but to be honest, his actual intentions were threatening.

He wanted to conquer them.

He said it very nicely, even saying "allies" which sounded very corny.

But at the end, he wanted to conquer the entire sect and assimilate them into his own Empire to acquire more people and resources.

He was an opportunistic bastard too, because he did this when they were in their direst need for supplies.

"I see. So this is the bastard that helped you and the one you're trusting so much out of nowhere? This guy that proclaims himself as an Emperor? You? An Emperor? Don't make me laugh." Said Thaletus.

"I don't intend to make anyone laugh today. I have come to resolve the issue with Shouta and Zephyr as well. I am a Death Mage. You know what that means? I can see spirits and souls, and I've found the soul of your precious child. He was haunting Shouta." Said Drake.

Everyone around gasped…

Drake opened the palm of his hand and revealed a sphere of yellow gold light.

Infusing some mana into it suddenly made Zephyr's soul take form once more.

He was now tired and couldn't scream in anger, and was also being slowly healed of his insanity, so he wasn't wrathful nor furious.

"T-That's…!"

"Are my eyes deceiving me!?"

"This cannot be real!"

"Zephyr-sama!"

Thaletus opened his eyes wide open as he looked at Drake's "surprise", or "gift" it was the actual soul of the child that had died.

"W-What is this?! You think a trick like this will work?" asked Thaletus.

"It's not a trick but the truth. I also have other Undead at my side, want to see a ghost?" asked Drake, materializing the body of Rose out of thin air, and making her visible, a ghostly vampiric woman emerged, startling everyone.

She floated around while looking at everyone, and then flew back to Drake, standing behind him.

"This is a ghost I've tamed. Is this sufficient proof I am genuine?" asked Drake.

"…"

"…"

"Prove it more!"

"Y-Yeah…"

"Make this pile of bones in a Skeleton."

Suddenly, a soldier threw a pile of bones.

This pile of bones was of various animals' carcasses they had hunted and eaten.

"Seems easy enough. Rise." Said Drake.

FLASH!

Phantasmal power was infused into the bones, as they began to rattle and unify into a bigger and compact entity…

In an instant, a monster made entirely out of bones, of around four meters of height, emerged… it had the head of a large ice wolf, and its entire body was composed of not only ribs but there were more skulls and other bone parts.

Everyone was surprised…

"I can also combine it with ice." Said Drake, deciding to act more arrogantly, he used Winter Magic and Death Magic, creating a golem out of ice and infusing a random soul to it.

An ice golem was created.

Like this, he could go on and on… and end up making an endless army of Undead and golems.

"T-This…!"

"S-So powerful…"

"He could build an army in mere minutes like this!"

"And his mana feels like it hasn't even become exhausted…"

"This is incredible…"

Thaletus had to admit it, Drake was impressive.

"You're not lying… You're… truly a Death Mage… a one in a billion." Said Thaletus.

"Finally get it? Now let us pass, I will even revive your kid if you're polite enough, and not just as an Undead." Said Drake.

"S-Such a thing is possible!?" asked Thaletus.

"As long as there is the majority of his body intact." Said Drake.

"It is… we have stored his body in ice…" sighed Thaletus wife.

"Then it should be reasonably possible." Said Drake.
