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

The Beast of the Dunes emerged before our eyes, a monstrous centipede the size of a train! It had countless of layered scale-like armor parts, an incredibly hard looking at that. Its eyes were golden and sharp, glowing with a powerful light. And its jaws were red-colored, menacingly large, and overly complex, adding to the creepiness of such a gigantic bug. It had a hundred gigantic legs and a sharp spear-shaped tail behind its back. This beast looked truly frightening.

And to make things worse, tens of smaller black scorpions showed up. Yeah smaller in comparison to the giant Centipede, but they were all around ten meters big while the Centipede was over fifty meters. The centipede and the scorpions had golden eye tattoos in their foreheads as well, making them even more mysterious.

[Giant Centipede King] [Rank: 8 (Middle Stage)] [Status: Berserk, Furious]

A Guardian of the Desert of the End of the World, taking the shape of enormous Centipede. This monstrous being can easily shake the whole desert to do its biding and manipulate the monsters that live within its mystical and primordial sands. It has an enormous quantity of power and defense, and it is impossible to defeat unless its armor is pierced.

It is the leader of the [Golden Eye Black Scorpions] and one of the powerful [Field Bosses], defeating them would help the user delve further into the Dungeon's Challenge and advance through it.

[Fortune]: [A+++]

[Physical Strength]: [S++]

[Magical Power]: [S]

[Dexterity and Agility]: [A++]

Abilities: [Watchful Eyes] [Super Hard Divine Chitin] [Deadly Pincer Jaws] [Giant Centipede] [Hundred Legs] [Piercing Rock Spears] [Berserk Fury] [Divine Barrier] [Field Boss Menacing Aura] [Divine Domain of Sands and Winds] [Sandstorm] [Boulder Blast] [Mirage] [Heat Beam]

The powerful monster was a terrifying centipede, alright. It had several interesting Abilities within its arsenal, and the bastard was Rank 8 Middle Stage. It would had been a great challenge for the past me… But not now. Maybe if I let the girls' gang on him together, they'll be able to defeat it without problems.

Nonetheless, it's always fun to see how far monsters can go with their abilities, so let's play around with this little guy and the other little guys around him. The deadly scorpions, which were all Rank 7 Peak Stage instead. Their abilities were similar to the centipede as well, and yep, they had Heat Beam.

"Alright Miranda, get ready!" Benladann said.

"Let's warmup for real now!" Miranda smiled.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The Black Scorpions began shooting rays of pure heat from the tip of their pointy tails, aiming at us with a rather good precision. Nonetheless, they were being a bit slow.

"[Abyssal Parry]!"

"[Miasmic Counter]!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Benladann intercepted the beams with her Battle Axe, Hel, quite easily, dividing it into two and giving the other half to Miranda. The two girls unleashed powerful attacks using the battle axes, beams of chaos reached the Scorpions down below, devastating them easily.

BOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOMMM!!!

Meanwhile, the other half of the Scorpions were being dealt by me, as I decided to conjure a new Primordial Blood Spell I had learned from reading the Grimoire I acquired in the Vampire Venerable's inheritance.

"Primordial Blood Divine Magic: [Blood Storm]!"

FLAAAASH!

An enormous storm of pure crimson blood was invoked, consuming the scorpions, and disintegrating them. Each drop of blood from the [Blood Storm] was like a sharp blade, the scorpions didn't stood a chance.

BOOOOOMMM!!!

And it even came with a loud explosion, which shook the desert and hurt the Centipede a bit! Of course, the Centipede panicked as it saw the scorpions getting easily stopped, furiously roaring and then invoking a gigantic sandstorm!

"GROOOOOHHHH!"

FLUOOOOOSSSSHHH!

The sandstorm quickly engulfed our surroundings as the centipede fused its powers with its Domain Ability, generating an enormous domain that was just one massive sandstorm! The sandstorm began generating enormous, fifty-meter-big boulders at the same time, while the monster utilized Mirage to create clones of itself and also cloned boulders! Wow this guy was going hard against us!

Dozens of boulders came my way, as I swung my dragon claws, slicing them all apart and destroying the illusions. It wasn't going to work against me buddy. However, as if the centipede was angered at my response, it manipulated the sands, generating dozens of spiraling sand pillars which flew towards me, crystalizing into sharp divine glass at the tip!

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAAASSSH!

However, my bare scales were enough to tank it as I had quickly transformed into my Dragon Form. The lugubrious looking Vampire Dragon form I had attained to fight and defeat Sangre's Blood Doppelganger.

"Woah what with that form?!" Wondered Miranda.

"Looks awesome!" Benladann seemed amazed.

"Woah!" Benladra was surprised.

"Papa… big." Kate said nonchalantly.

"Girls, can you attack from the sides? I'll take its direct hits." I said. "I like playing the Tanker anyways. There's no point in being immortal if I am not."

"Alright, leave it to us!" Benladann said.

"Sure!" Miranda said.

The two quickly began charging large quantities of Mana and Divine Power alongside their Divinities into their weapons, until the two Battle Axes started shining brightly with a deep black aura.

"[Twin Abyssal Cross Slash]!"

The two unleashed a combined attack, as both slashes became cross-shaped, reaching the Centipede from afar, not once, but several times!

C L A A A S H!

C L A A A S H!

C L A A A S H!

"GRAAAAAH!"

The Centipede furiously charged towards me, unleashing a barrage of attacks while taking on the damage from Benladann and Miranda, who were so strong they began to tear apart its hard exoskeleton with each blow, its HP was clearly going down as well. Unlike me they were not Rank 9 yet, and both were Rank 8 Upper Stage, only one rank above the centipede, it was better to leave them behind so they don't risk themselves and attack from a distance.

Meanwhile, I'll just punch this giant bug!

BAAAAM!
