Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 546: New Vampire Souls

Chapter 546: New Vampire Souls

-----

When Black faced the entire world going against him, he valiantly unleashed everything he had to fight against it. Darkness and shadows engulfed the entire area of the world where he was ascending, which was the higher skies of the continent of Jotunheim.

Because of his stupendous display of tremendous power, the skies were turned black like ink, and that day was known as "The Day the World Suppressed the Great Darkness". Black had made a name of himself in those times.

Known as "The Great Darkness", he had consumed countless nations, sects, and empires into endless darkness, slaughtered millions of mortals to achieve his goals, and thousands of immortals that tried to get on his path.

Although he wasn't the same as a Venerable, the disasters he left behind of his path were well known and registered in history… although hundreds of years since then, people had been born, and the fear he left on the world inhabitants slowly faded away.

But what was the point of it?

What was the point of obsessively wanting to become a Venerable?

Was there something in specific he wanted to achieve?

A goal.

A common goal within all colors, to become a Venerable…

Just as they were told to be… they must take over the world once more, and become the pinnacle.

Because only if one of them reaches the pinnacle is when they'll be able to touch the gap once more.

The gap…

"I can still escape… It is futile to fight back, my energy reserves are not enough, my beasts are dying, my disciples are dying, defending them would be a waste of energy and time… I will survive in this vessel, and one day rise to Immortal once more… Things are not over- Eh?!"

However, within the skies, an immense amount of heat began to be generated…

TRUUUUMMMM…!

…

A few minutes ago, the death of the Vampires came rather swiftly, as Drake quickly grabbed their souls and looked at the two, he had killed Lily and Austr.

The other two Vampires that had been vaporized by Pekora's attack didn't even left souls behind. This was because Pekora's attack was charged with light and life attributes, capable of purifying souls and sending them to the afterlife right away.

However, Drake was able to catch these two.

A malicious smirk emerged in his lips.

"Welcome, my fellow bloodsuckers." Said Drake.

"Y-You…! Are you the one behind all of this?!" asked Lily.

"I am! And you two are now my slaves." Said Drake.

"S-Slaves?! You dare slave our very souls to you?! You… Ungh?! T-This soul…" muttered Austr.

Lily and Austr realized this a bit too late, but when they glanced at Drake in detail, and looked into his soul, they realized something completely terrifying.

An enormous soul in the shape of a multi-headed dragon showed up, s.h.i.+ning brightly with azure and green colors, with a silvery-white lining all around its entire form. An air of endless frost came out of his entire soul, as the multiple snake-like heads it had sharp crimson-red eyes, which shone brightly and eerily.

"Y-You're not a normal… ice giant!" said Austr.

"What… what are you?!" asked Lily.

"Oh, so it is true, souls can see other soul shapes, don't you? Dragons can do that and that's how Tsukuyomi was able to realize I was a dragon…" said Drake while rubbing his chin.

"D-Dragon?!" asked Lily.

"So that's why… You're… a dragon…" muttered Austr.

"Anyways, I don't have time for you two for the moment… Rose, grab them for now." Said Drake.

Rose quickly emerged at the side of Drake.

"Yes, my lord. I will keep them safe inside of me until you need them." Said Rose.

"Thanks." Said Drake, leaving the two souls to Rose's mercy.

"W-Wait! Stop!" cried Lily.

"Just what… happened to you, Rose?! Why are you serving a dragon?" asked Austr.

"Because lord Drake defeated me! He showed me who was the strongest of the two, and despite having died miserably, he gave me a second chance to keep existing as a ghost, I've regained a lot of my former powers, and even gained some new ones! Like this one!" laughed Rose, her entire face suddenly distorted as her jaws opened wide, like a black hole, and she engulfed the two souls inside her stomach.

Lily and Austr thought they would get devoured, but only found themselves trapped in a completely black s.p.a.ce, this was Rose's "Stomach" a special black s.p.a.ce within her interior where she could store both physical things and also non-physical, souls were unable to run away when she trapped them inside.

"Phew, it done, it was a bit longer than I expected… Those Vampires were quite the challenge." Said Tisha.

"Yeah, good work, Tisha." Said Drake, as he petted Tisha's head, because she was smaller than his ice giant form.

Tisha blushed a bit over the unexpected showcase of affection, as her long ears turned slightly red.

"I-It's nothing… Anyways, are my people…?" asked Tisha.

"Don't worry, their souls are fine, they are resting for a bit for now, they'll come back after a day." Said Drake.

"I see! Thank you, Drake." Said Tisha.

The souls of the Ice Golems and Snow Beasts were Tisha's major concern. Thankfully, they seemed to be fine, and would soon regain their bodies and probably their original cultivation levels too, as Drake had secured their mana cores.

However, he wanted to give them a day or two to rest for the moment, so they would sleep and recover better so when they were remade into Ice Golems and Snow Beasts, they would be able to stay mentally healthy and not exhausted within the depths of their souls.

Yukihime and the other ghosts reached up to Drake, also wanting to be praised. Skadi and Uller were particularly covered in blood…

"All of you, good work, you did great, I am proud. You should rest for now, we'll handle things from here. Flayr, are you ready?" Asked Drake.

"I am!" said Flayr.

Drake noticed as a little girl touched the transparent crystal, and began infusing blazing fire-attribute mana into it… It was Flayr.
