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

"My dear Miranda, soon, you will be revived… And like father and daughter we'll finally be together. We'll rule this world filled with injustices… And I won't let anybody get in our way anymore."

"W-Who are you?! Get away from me! I am not your daughter!"

And then, she saw it.

Countless of guns shooting at her, piercing through the glass, and her own body being covered in bullets.

The pain and the suffering she had once forgotten, it all came back to her…

This was a Nightmare.

"This isn't… me anymore…"

"This isn't my place…!"

"I am with mama and papa, and Kate!"

"And Rose… and Coral!"

"And everyone else…"

However, despite what the Deep One expected, Benladra's willpower was superb.

As she was being covered on bullets, the pain woke her up from her daze.

She crawled out of the broken glass and then touched the floor with her only tiny hand.

"[Heavenly Blessing]!!!"

FLAAAAASH!

A shining star emerged from within her heart, covering the entire world with a blessing of pure light, the nightmare distorted, beginning to fade away. The people within the nightmare began screaming as they dissipated into ashes, and everything within it disappeared.

"Ah! Kate, Coral!"

She quickly woke up, the nightmares that Kate and Coral were having were quickly purified as well, as she found the Deep One about to pierce her heart with a sword!

CLASH!

However, she evaded quickly, jumping into the skies, and suddenly channeling her light into a spear, pointing it at him!

"W-What?! You've freed yourselves so fast?!"

"I'll never forgive you!!!"

Benladra grew angrier, but deep down, she knew that to deal with a foe like this, she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her. She channeled the light within her body and soul and shaped it as a shining spear.

"[Heavenly Spear]!"

FLAAAASH!

Benladra fired the spear towards the Deep One without even giving him a chance to evade. The spear swiftly pierced through his body, its shining light so bright it began to weaken him severely.

CLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

"U-Unngggh…! Uuuaagggh…! W-What are you doing?! Don't you know your friend is inside of my body?! If you hut her, she'll probably die!" The Deep One tried to stop Benladra by telling her that if she went all out, Rose might die due to her blows.

"Nuh-huh!" Benladra said. "My Heavenly Light is a power I can control at will! I can make it so it doesn't hurt Rose, and I've made it so it heals her from you!"

"Y-You damn brat!!!" The Deep One grew more desperate, his entire body shapeshifting into a gigantic fishman as enormous muscular arms reached Benladra. "[Abyssal Nightmare Fists]! DIE!"

Six fists the size of over four meters each started falling over Benladra like meteors, their explosive blows released countless shockwaves around their surroundings, shaking the entire hall where this battle was happening.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Benladra quickly began defending by conjuring shields made of Heavenly Light and then employing her second attribute, Ice, shaping it as countless Icicles and firing them at the Deep One in quick succession. The projectiles flew around the Deep One's body and then began piercing and freezing it.

"Everyone! Wake up already!" Benladra had destroyed the Nightmares, but Kate and Coral were still half-asleep. Her scream quickly made them open their eyes.

"Benladra!" Kate quickly flew towards her sister, seeing her struggling against the furious Deep One. She quickly summoned her mechanic golems, as three gigantic ones emerged, a dragon, an eel-like one, and then monstrous tiger-shaped mechanic golem.

"ROOOAARR!"

"SHAAAH!"

"GROOAAR!"

"T-Those damn golems again?!" The Deep One was quickly overwhelmed, as all three golems jumped over him and began throwing him around the room.

"Take that and that!" Kate ordered her golems, as they began smacking his fish-like face constantly!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"Wait, Kate, don't go overboard, we need to take Rose out of that thing!" Benladra said.

"Nn! Right!" Kate nodded. "I have the feeling that… Coral could do it."

"M-Me?!" Coral felt surprised.

"Right! You're Rose's friend for a while, right? I think you could probably convince her. We'll help you out!" Benladra nodded.

"But how could I even fight that thing…?!" Coral seemed to doubt himself.

"Don't doubt and do it!" Kate said. "Let's go!"

The two girls grabbed Coral and then flew towards the Deep One, who had already managed to destroy the Mechanical Tiger and was halfway through destroying the other two. His powers seemed to be growing the more he feed from Rose's emotions.

One of the reasons why he was buying so much time was perhaps because he was waiting to regain enough of his powers within the fragment contained inside of Rose's Stigma to be able to overpower the children completely.

"Hey fish head!" Benladra called the Deep One, his furious eyes glancing back at her. "[Heavenly Prison]!"

FLAAAASH!

Benladra preemptively summoned a magic circle and several runes, which started dancing around her and then assembled together, generating a gigantic prison-like structure made out of her heavenly light, and suddenly trapping the Deep One and Rose within!

CLAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

"W-What the…?! FREE ME AT ONCE!" The Deep One roared furiously, his arms hitting the prison's ceilings only to bur and dissipate into particles of darkness. "Uuuaggh…! I-It is purifying me?! But it still too weak to deal with me…!"

"Unnngggh…! I can only hold it back for a bit!" Benladra said. "Coral, Kate, take this!"

Benladra suddenly summoned her Life Spirit and imbued it with her Divine Heavenly Light Powers, telling the spirit to stay with Coral and Kate.

"[Heavenly Spiritual Blessing]! [Life's Veil]!"

FLASH! FLAAASH!

She conjured two buffing spells on the children, before Kate quickly flew down directly towards the Deep One, holding Coral with her Spiritual Powers that helped him to levitate.

"Nn! Coral: save Rose! I will stay and fight Deep One!" Kate said.

"B-But…!" Coral felt afraid even now.

"Coral, stop being coward!" Kate said angrily. "Fight for the friend that you love!"

Kate's words reached the young boy's heart, as something even stronger started blossoming within him, his left hand suddenly started flowing, as tattoo resembling a Fortress-shaped Coral appeared.

"Is this… my power?!"

"Now go!"

Kate quickly sent Coral right in front of the Deep One, as he suddenly trespassed his darkness, reaching inside of his very body, where Rose was confined.

FLAAASH!
