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

(Some time ago, before Drake entered the Frost Tower…)

A tall elven man sat down over his wooden chair in his rustic home, as he looked into an incredibly high-tech device in front of him, a large holographic window emerging out of a blue crystal ball. This crystal ball projected whatever the cameras of his wandering drones captured. And this time, after a long time of looking around, and using special techniques and the power of his other colors, he had successfully located the one that had brought him a headache over a year ago.

"So there you are… Ice Dragon." He said with a smile. "Your presence seems… weak? Or strong? It is hard to tell… However, that you're aiming for the Trial of the Frost Queen only means that you're getting involved into all of this, aren't you? I might as well destroy you alongside that other Unique Skill user before things get too ahead of themselves… You're surprisingly close to Heaven Port, perhaps if you had more luck you would had ended interacting with Alma and her plans, but it seems that you won't have such privilege…"

The man quickly tapped a few buttons, as several lights quickly turned from blue to red in front of him within the holographic window, several units being dispatched towards his destination. At the speed he sent such units, they would arrive in a few hours at most.

"Heh… This will also be a good experiment to see how much your Regeneration Unique Skill can last…" Said the man with a smile. "Let's see what you can offer to me. I've only been sending garbage to you because I didn't had much care, but now things area personal, especially now that I've learned you had Ruby with you, the vessel of the blood venerable… Just what exactly are you, little dragon? I wonder…"

The elven man smiled almost wickedly, as within such a frail body, there was the powerful fragmented soul of the first Venerable to have ever been born in the world of Yggdrasil.

However, without knowing, he had chosen the wrong time to provoke a fight against Drake.

(Drake's POV)

FLASH!

When we teleported outside the frost tower, we found ourselves right outside of it, in the entrance. The entrance of the frost tower was also different now, as the various signs on it were gone and the large gate was completely gone, as if it was never there. The entire tower was now completely sealed, the only way inside through a special teleportation ability which I've just gained from the venerable by receiving a fragment of her divine realm.

As we were greeted by the beautiful scenery of forests and blue grasslands in front of the tower, the peaceful song of birds, and the tranquility of the sea surrounding us, we felt completely calm and we slowly decided to go back to the town in the island to report to everyone there how things ended up.

If it was up to me, I would had simply teleported back to my divine realm immediately to go see my daughters, but I wanted to tell everybody in the town of the Frost Island how things turned out.

When we reached the walls, Miss Ice spoke soothingly, seemingly already realizing that we were no longer the same as before. Although I had used my powers to create veils to conceal the divine presence of my allies, she was sharp enough to sense them even now. Unlike my Divine powers which came from my System, allowing me to easily turn them off so I would appear to be a mortal, their divine power couldn't be hidden easily. I had already considered the creation various accessories to help them better hide this power.

"So you've finally done it… I am glad. Feel free to enter and tell everybody." She whispered to us.

We quickly entered while thanking her, as we swiftly moved towards town.

"This was one hell of an adventure…" Charlotte sighed. "I never thought I would see two Venerables in my life… Sir Drake, you've really given me an amazing journey I'll neve forget in my entire life!"

"Haha, don't talk as if we are parting ways, Charlotte. Your powers are handy and you're a good person, so we'll stick together. I've already told you I'll pay you as much as you want so you can bring us to other continents, right?" I asked.

"R-Right… I suppose this is just the beginning then… Where should we go after?" She wondered.

"First of all, we gotta rescue Ruby… And after I am done with the cooking contest, which should be tomorrow, I'll have a meeting with other sects… Ah, maybe I should just ignore it anyways? I am a god now so I don't really care about these guys anymore… But it would be rude not to go, right? " I sighed. "Well, whatever, after that, I plan to follow Blaze's last words and move to Muspelheim, where there a Divine Fire Dragon awaiting my visit, alongside their mother, Muspel. After that, I suppose we'll go from continent to continent while trying to avoid danger."

"I see… Well, it will be a perilous journey…" Charlotte sighed, quickly realizing the immense amount of adventure yet to be had.

Overall, the most concerning part is rescuing Ruby. I've been checking on her even right now and she seems completely alright, slowly growing stronger on her own methods too… Now that I've grown strong enough, maybe simply breaking into the Vampire's hideout won't be as complicated. Although my existence will easily become known to Oberon sooner or later, so I should simply prioritize getting Ruby back than anything else.

If I have to fight with Red… then so be it. I'll use every single power I can muster to defeat her or at least throw her far away, enough for us to run away afterwards. At the end, as long as I get Ruby back and then teleport to my divine realm with everyone else, it should work.

As we reached the village chief's house, she quickly greeted us by opening the door before we could knock.

"Oh, hey! We are back."

"Welcome back you all! I could sense your presences even in here-"

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

However, before our conversation could continue, I felt danger approaching, as I looked into the skies and noticed several metallic figures flying high above the clouds. One of them aimed an enormous cannon at us and fired a gigantic laser beam.

Without thinking it twice, I transformed myself into my Divine Dragon form, spreading my wings over the entire village and shielding it from this destructive attack!

BOOOOOMMM!!!
