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

-----

Drake quickly confronted Fafnir, as he finally decided to speak to him directly. Now that the fight was seemingly settled down, he merely wanted to talk and tell him some truths.

"I will follow my own path, Fafnir… I don't need anybody telling me what to do." Said Drake furiously. "I am grateful that you've given me a Divine Protection back then, but if it was for the ulterior motives of manipulating me or something like that, then I don't want it! In fact, I've already made up a stronger Divine Dragon Marks anyways."

"Y-You brat…"

"What?"

"You've… really have grown up a lot, haven't you?!"

"Eh?"

"I am so happy!!!"

"Wha…?!"

Unlike what Drake had expected, Fafnir didn't furiously barked back at him and continued calling him ungrateful… No! In fact, he began to cry tears of joy from all eight of his eyes spread through his monstrous draconic head! He even began to say he had grown a lot, and seemed to be very proud of his growth!

"Why the fuck are you crying out of happiness?!" Asked Drake in surprise. "Don't you realize I just beat you? Is this some trick? I'm gonna beat the shit out of you again!"

"This is not a dream, Drake. You're actually inside of my Soul Divine Realm! I teleported you here using your bloodline connection, but it is temporal…! So you've actually… you beat me!"

"W-Wha… so this is not a dream?!" Asked Drake. His eyes quickly began to open wide in shock!

"I am so happy! GYAHAHAHA!" Laughed Fafnir, he had a very peculiar laughter that reminded Drake of One Piece characters. "You've really grown so strong already! Your pops stood no chance, you brat! GRYAHAHAHA!"

"W-What the fuck are you talking about? Pops? Aren't you some random… dragon god that took a liking on me because I was special or something?" Asked Drake in shock.

"Whaaaaat? Why would I just suddenly pick a random guy and give him a divine protection?!" Asked Fafnir. "Well, you got your blockheadedness from me, just like your mother always says, GRYAHAHAHAHA!"

"E-Eeeeh?! Mother…? I never met my mother before… What are you talking about?!" Asked Drake furiously.

"Yeah, you've never met your mother but she had always been there with you looking over you, foolish brat!" Laughed Fafnir.

Drake felt more and more confused over time. He didn't know what to say. Fafnir was implying a million things but not clarifying anything at all, and the more Drake asked, the more questions emerged inside of his head! He didn't know why the old dragon was so cheery when he was beaten down for real even! Drake began to quickly consider how strong he was and why a dragon god even lost to him to begin with, but then his illusion of supreme strength was broken as Fafnir broke out of the ice he entrapped him in a single second.

Crack… crack… CRAAASH!

"Hahh… That was a nice warmup, brat! You're not bad at all, you're great, in fact! To think you've beaten this old man… It really made my spirits go high! It has been eons since I had such a nice fight!" Fafnir said, as if he had not suffered any damage at all. In fact, he suddenly let go of a lot of skin out of his body, as if he was shedding like a lizard! Leaving aside a shedding of his skin, his new body was all shiny and healed!

"T-The… what…?" Asked Drake, looking at Fafnir with a lot of shock. "You're alright now?!"

"That old body is no more! I really wanted a good fight before shedding it away… Now look, your pops is alright now, brat!" He said. "No need to be worried!"

Drake gritted his jaws as he suddenly grabbed Fafnir's shoulders and shook them furiously, looking down on him with his eyes locked into his own.

"What do you mean by "pops"?!" He asked.

"Huh? What… do I mean by pops?" Asked Fafnir while raising an eyebrow. "Don't you realize? Why do you think your second name is Fafnir? After you named yourself there is always the family name!"

"F-Family name…?" Asked Drake. "I thought the name was just… the side effect of the divine protection…"

"No? It was your name! It is the name that my child carries!" Said Fafnir while crossing his arms. "Oi, brat, you're my son! How come you didn't realized? So you fought me without even knowing that?!"

"…Your son?! And no! I was actually trying to kill you!" Said Drake.

"KILL MEEEE?!" Fafnir cried in surprise, as his tongue came out all the way down and his eyes popped out of their sockets! "You brat, you gotta put more humph to it if you want me to kick the bucket…" However, Fafnir quickly began to talk more seriously, advising Drake that he should had used more power!

Drake continued looking at the gigantic Fafnir, as he looked down into his own body. The "true form"… was actually the truest form he could take now as a Dragon God, and it was actually… very similar to Fafnir, but it also had some finesse to it, some silver scales, beautiful elegance of an ice dragon… that was different from Fafnir.

…And it was inherited from his mother, Nifl, the Progenitor of all Ice Dragons.

"Y-You're my father?!" Asked Drake.

"Yes." Said Fafnir. "Brat, I'm your pops!"

"THIS IS… FUCKING RIDICULOUS!" Drake screamed, walking away from Fafnir scared out of his life! "Get… get me back home! I don't want to accept you as my father!"

"Eh? But we fought and all! You damn brat, snap out of it!" Fafnir roared, as he swung his tail and hit Drake in the head, planting him down into the ground!

CLAAAAASH!

"GRAAARRGH!"

Drake roared in pain as he glanced at Fafnir angrily, roaring back at his father once more.

"You bastard! Is this how you treat your son?!" He asked.

"You treated your father worse!" Said Fafnir.

"You're not my father!" Said Drake.

"I am!" Roared Fafnir.

Things were getting more ridiculous as time went by…
