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

-----

Larzak was shocked when he finally met Drake, the dragon quickly revealed to be the one that scared him so much. He was a bit surprised, and didn't believed him at first, but Drake didn't really cared about being believed or not.

"The giant Dungeon Dragon is defeated so there's nothing much to do in here anymore. Are you from a nearby Lizardman village?" Wondered Drake. He had heard from the Pastoralists about the other lizardmen which were often referred as savages, but this guy looked very much not wild at all.

"Yes… It seems the Scaled God is no more… Have you truly defeated him?" He wondered. "I had infiltrated its interior when it transformed, and hit a crystal inside very hard with my magic, it seems he weakened after that… I hope I had helped in something."

"You did, thanks a lot." Said Benladann. "The Dungeon Dragon dropped into the ground thanks to that and was weakened a lot, now it makes sense why he was chasing you down."

"Ngh…" The Chaos Spirit pretended to be a black slime for now, ignoring Larzak, whom he hated for having ruined his plans from the interior. If it wasn't for this lizardman, he would had still have energy to fight or escape in time, but now he was reduced to the smallest form he could ever take, shame was taking over him to the point he felt like he should just pretend to be a pet for now, it was better than barking without reason only to be ridiculed later.

"S-So that's it…" Said Larzak, glaring at the strange slime. "This is my first time seeing ice giants so up close, you guys are very big… A-Ahem, is that a tamed slime?" Wondered Larzak.

"Y-Yeah! It is a slime, a rare black slime." Said Benladann. "Don't touch it though." She said, as the Chaos Spirit was placed over her head.

"Anyways, would it be alright to invite you to my village? I am in a hurry though…" He sighed.

"For now we are busy, we need to go back to Orange Village because we have to check the people there. They were being attacked by the lizardman after all." Said Drake. "But here, I'll come back later, I'll leave you with a… erm, tamed slime." Drake quickly created a large green slime out of his back, and gave it to Larzak.

"Tamed slime?!" Asked Larzak in shock.

"Yeah, that's right!" Said the green slime.

"It speaks?!" Larzak once more grew shocked, there were several times he had been shocked today, his reactions were becoming less amusing as he was getting used to surprises.

"It's actually my voice. We tamers have unique magic and skills that allow us to do a variety of things with our tamed monsters, speaking through them is one of them… So for now, I'll leave this slime with you. I'll go check the village and after we secure everything, we'll come take a visit. I know a few other lizardmen that live in the border of these jungles. Is it okay to bring them?" Wondered Drake, as Larzak felt a bit surprised. He knew about these lizardmen but because they were so shy, he had not attempted communication with them yet, especially because they seemed rather discriminatory against the lizardmen that lived deep in the jungles, often referring to his kin as "savages".

"Sure… I would gladly receive them. It has been a long while since we ever had visits, so I will prepare things after I also make sure everything is alright, thank you." Larzak said, vowing. "A-Ah, right, I never said my name… I am the Chief of the Black Fang Tribe, Larzak."

"Oh, I see. I am Drake." Said Drake. "Nice to meet you, Larzak."

"I am Benladann."

"And I am Miranda."

"I see, it is good to know your names… And the little girl?"

Larzak noticed the "little" Benladra, which was small for ice giants but already had almost the same size as Larzak because she was a baby giant.

"Benladra!" Said Benladra.

"I see, good to see you as well… Anyway, I am on my way."

Larzak quickly walked away, very worried about his village. The green slime followed him from behind by jumping around. It seemed to be a rather strong slime. Now that Drake had ascended so suddenly and quickly, his power was also shared with the new slimes or clones he could create, as they would also gain greater strength and magic power.

He felt like he could even make an army of slimes out of his body and shapeshift them into many dragons! An army of dragons out of his own body! He was really an unusual existence, no god could do such a thing, not even Venerables.

He followed Larzak with the Green Slime which he decided to call Lime, and quickly decided to go back to Orange Village. Drake felt a bit exhausted out of nowhere, and he kind of wanted to rest over a bed.

"Well, let's get going for now." He said.

"Alright!" Said Benladann.

"Where's Frost at- Eh? Drake?!" Miranda asked, as Drake suddenly fell to his knees.

"Drake!" Benladann ran towards Drake as he began to squint his eyes, a pain began to split his head, as if a giant axe was constantly hitting his skull, the constant pain was agonizing.

"Ngh… Ah, I think I am a bit tired…" He sighed.

"Hang on there!" Cried Miranda. "Frost! Where are you?!"

"WOOF!"

Frost quickly ran towards the two, reaching them. He had stranded into the jungle after the fight and finally found his way back to them.

Drake's vision was darkening over time, as he felt so exhausted he wanted to sleep for a whole eternity… He grasped Benladann's hand, as he suddenly passed out.

"I'm… fine…" He said before his eyes closed and he lost all his strength.

"Drake!" Cried Benladann.

"D-Don't worry, I can sense his vitals, he seems to be healthy? I don't know why he passed out but let's better hurry back to Fuyu!" Said Miranda.

"Y-Yeah!" Benladann said, worried about her husband.

"Papa…" Benladra seemed concerned as well.

Meanwhile, Drake woke up within dreams, as he was being embraced by many fluffy fox tails of pink color...

"Huh...?!"
