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

The incredible book in my hands which was emanating such an amazing aura of divine power was nothing else but Skadi's most precious possessions, the Grimoire she had created which contained her Divine Spells that allowed someone to conjure Primordial Ice, the special upgraded element of Ice Attribute.

Skadi is the True Ancient Goddess of Ice and Snow, the one that existed before any Venerable, and when the Realms were separated before melding together. She is also the one I based my name to my Living Divine Weapon, Skadi. After all, Earth's Mythology has Skadi as well, so I based it off that Skadi, not the one that existed in this world back in the past.

But oh well, whatever's the case, this Grimoire was something… incredible.

[Skadi's Divine Grimoire of Primordial Ice (SSS+ Grade)]

A Divine Grimoire created by the True Ancient Goddess of Ice and Snow, Skadi. It contains the truth and secrets of her powerful Divine Ability, Primordial Ice, and how to wield it properly. Those that manage to rad and comprehend this immense power gain a newer and stronger affinity over Ice that might enchant their total power even further.

However, only those with enough Affinity for it can even fathom to learn its truth, those that possess an Affinity below SSS Grade cannot even possibly think they can understand its secrets. However, those that somehow manage to, may gain more than just knowledge, but even inherit part of this True Goddess Divine Power.

"Amazing…"

I immediately opened the Grimoire, as I suddenly felt an enormous storm of ice emerge from within its pages, each word felt like a puzzle to my mind, as the ice storm continued to consume my entire body at the same time. However, thanks to my SSS Grade Affinity with the Ice Element, I continued reading and reading… but it was very slow.

I was managing to comprehend something, but the speed was nothing like I had thought it would be. It was incredibly slow! Even with my amazing Ice Powers, why I can't read this faster? Skadi really made a puzzle to comprehend…

"It took me two hundred years to completely read every page and comprehend the powers to its totality." Said the Frost Queen. "I am amazed you've already reached the second paragraph; it took me a month!"

"Eh? That slow?!" I asked. "I guess I am thirty times faster… Still, it is not that fast…"

"You'll have to learn about it and unlock its powers as you travel. But your affinity is amazing, it easily surpasses mine before I became Rank 10." The Frost Queen said.

"Huh, I guess at least my Affinity doesn't disappoint…" I sighed.

I quickly created all my Head Clones and put them inside of my Shadows, leaving them reading the Grimoire together to make it slightly faster. Their minds were all connected to mine, so it was as if I was reading it all while doing normal things. When the Frost Queen saw such a cheat-like way of doing it, she felt even more shocked.

"T-This is insane… You're just leaving clones to read it?" She asked.

"Yeah, it is better that way…" I said.

"W-Well, I guess… Now that I've given my most precious item, I suppose you may take anything you want from here." She said, offering me the items she had showed to us before.

"Hmm… Certainly, there's a lot of amazing divine weapons and armor here…" I said, as Skadi and Uller appeared behind me in their humanoid forms, their faces filled with despair.

"Master please don't replace us!" Cried Uller.

"We did our best, didn't we?" Skadi asked.

"Eh? You guys, don't worry, you're irreplaceable to me." I sighed. "I'll never replace you."

The two weapons suddenly felt moved, being brought to tears for some reason… do they need to be so exaggerated?

"Ooooh, Master!" Skadi cried. "Please marry meeee!"

"Master, thank you!" Cried Uller.

"Eh? Get off me!" I cried, as the two were holding into my arms tightly as if they were children. "You're not even kids! Sigh… Well, have you guy thought of receiving upgrades though? I was thinking on using these divine weapons on you, merging them together though Alchemy's [Synthesis] and creating an even stronger version of yourselves."

"Oh… Synthesis!" Skadi said. "If we could fuse with such amazing weapons… How strong could we grow?" Wondered the murderous Ice Lance.

"It does indeed sounds appealing…" Said Uller.

"Your two Divine Weapons are incredibly unique, I had never seen something like that." Sighed the Frost Queen. "I knew you would surprise me today but I am getting so surprised that it is not even funny anymore…"

"Yeah, I created them out of my Special Magic Ice, and after that, they evolved many times through the power of the System they ended sharing with me as items created through the System's Skills, until they reached the Stage of Divine Weapons just recently." I said.

"Y-You made them out of just ice?!" the Frost Queen, once more, was surprised.

"…Yes, can you calm down?" I sighed. "There's no way you didn't even made the same before."

"I sure did but for them to gain souls and all…" She said.

"Oh that's because I cut my soul into pieces and added one to each weapon, they're technically my Soul Fragments, but without the memories I had, they simply developed as their own egos and thoughts." I said.

"A-Amazing… Death magic is really limitless in certain things, especially handling the dead and their souls… But for now, it is enough getting surprised. We'll move over to the next stage. There is something else I must give to you, Drake, before we can move to answering more questions." She said.

"Something else?"

"Have you learned about the origins of the Great Demon of Dungeons?"

"Ah… Yeah, I recently got a part of his inheritance."

"So it is true, just as the prophecy foretold… As someone with the inheritance, you can now get the second part of it!"

"Wait, you have it?!"

"For a long time now! Follow me, I'll guide you there."

In mere seconds, the Frost Queen shaped the world around her once more, as enormous dungeon-like ruins emerged before our sight.
