Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

"DIE, USELESS VERMIN!"

The Queen and the Deep One converged into this form, fueled by the Blue Orb Fragment were vastly stronger and superior. A barrage of powerful strikes using her sharp claws started attacking Pekora, who was already beginning to grow weaker by overusing her magic.

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

"Unnnggh…!" Pekora's soul was being consumed rapidly as she was regenerating her body.

Despite doing everything she could, it seemed that Anastasia's strength was too overwhelming. For a moment, she wished she could had been stronger, or perhaps, that they could had bought enough time…

"Hahaha… HAHAHAHA! I shouldn't had even felt threatened by you pathetic foreigners!" Laughed Anastasia. "Once I'm done with you, I'll resurrect the other, still sealed half of my lord and we shall end this once and for all-"

"Mother! STOP!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Huh?!"

However, black tentacles suddenly emerged from the Queen's shadows, wrapping around her legs and arms, and temporarily stopping her movements!

Her red-shot eyes glared at the origin of that voice, her face slightly distorting in anger and frustration as she saw the face of her own daughter.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

"What?! Eleanor?!" She groaned furiously. "What are YOU doing here?! And why are you attempting to stop me?! Didn't I told you to guard the upper room?! You incompetent girl!"

"S-Shut up!" Eleanor cried, her powers beginning to overflow out of her Stigma, but they were not corrupted by the Deep One this time, and seemed different, and even stronger…

Before she were to arrive here, Benladra handled to her a small little orb, yes, it was the same Familiar Soul Fragment Orb that Sapphire and Rose had absorbed to unlock their Familiars within their Stigmas' full power and potential.

Now, the young princess had grown much stronger than before without the need for the Deep One to give her such corrupted powers.

"Y-You dare shut down your own MOTHER?! I guess I have yet to properly educate you!" Anastasia groaned furiously, suddenly letting go of Pekora and throwing her into the floor, she slowly walked towards her own daughter while easily tearing apart the tentacles wrapped around her.

"What are you doing, you fool?!" However, the voice of the Deep One echoed within her mind. "Do not pay mind to this pitiful garbage! Kill her if you must!"

"Kill…?" Anastasia, for a second, suddenly stopped walking, as she glanced at her daughter's face.

"Mom! Stop doing this! I remember… back then when you weren't like this! You were not the best mother but… you weren't a monster!" Cried Eleanor.

"Ah…?!" Anastasia suddenly felt a strange pain rushing across her entire body. "Unngh… I-I… What?! Ugh… AAAGH!"

The emotions the Deep One thought he had sealed and controlled completely were now suddenly resurfacing as Eleanor, who had broken out of her own brainwashing, was calling for her own mother.

"Tch! Useless vessel! Don't worry, I'll take her down for you, so you won't have anything else holding you back anymore." The Deep One's voice roared, as Eleanor's darkness started overflowing from her body, shaping into an endless wave of abyssal energy.

SPLAAAAASH!

The Abyssal Darkness became something similar to miasma, spreading around and forming yet another Abyssal Sea Domain, one of the Deep One's favorite techniques.

However…

"[Abyssal Absorption]!"

Eleanor pointed her two hands at the darkness, and using her own unique powers within the Abyssal Red Eyed Squid, she was able to absorb the Abyssal Sea completely!

FLUOOOSH!

"What?!" The Deep One was shocked, but once he realized she had truly mastered the powers of her strong Familiar, it seemed to make sense.

All four Familiars have their strength and weaknesses, but it could be considered that the Abyssal Red Eyed Squid was one of the strongest, capable of absorbing darkness, abyss, and miasma unlike the others.

And not only absorbing it, it could use it to heal itself, transform it into offensive attacks, and grow stronger over time…

FLAAAAASH!

Eleanora's body began overflowing with new power as she absorbed the deadly spell like nothing. Her exhaustion was also recovered, and her eyes seemed filled with a conviction the young and cowardly girl never had before.

"Just what the hell happened to her?!" The Deep One wondered. "Those kids! W-Where are they?! I haven't seen them at all- Ah!"

The Deep One was too concentrated on Eleanor to realize all other kids had infiltrated inside the halls already and took this opportunity to rescue the half-dying allies in here. Yuki, Pekora, and Sapphire were promptly rescued by Benladra and her friends, and carried to the back of Eleanor, near the stairs going upwards.

"[Heavenly Healing Aura]!" Benladra conjured a mantle of golden light over their wounded bodies, which quickly started to heal their wounds and recover them much better.

The girl had amazing defensive and healing magic, and through many challenges, the little Benladra had only grown much stronger.

"B-Benladra…?" Pekora wondered. "You made it here already?!"

"Ugh, my stomach hurts like hell- Huh? You kids are here already?!" Yuki was also surprised.

"Hahhh… Anastasia has been… completely possessed by the Deep One, but if you can somehow manage to do the same thing you did with my Stigma to free it from his powers, you could… maybe free her." Sapphire sighed. "It seems it worked with Eleanor."

"Yeah! She turned out to be someone surprisingly reliable!" Rose said, as she watched Eleanor absorbing all the attacks and magic coming at her while defending the group with a barrier of darkness.

"You rest here, aunties." Said Kate. "Kate and big sis will save the queen too!"

"Yeah!" Benladra nodded.

"Then let's get over with it." Coral said, stepping forwards while cracking his knuckles.

"It seems she has weakened after the battle." Rose said.

All four of them stepped forward and reached the side of Eleanor, the Deep One grew more furious, as Anastasia struggled to keep herself together, falling to her knees.

"You might have gotten that brat in your side, but this doesn't change a single thing!" The Deep One said. "As long as I can kill you all, it won't be a problem!"
