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

As Drake created Slimes and supported his allies before fighting himself, Hector had already begun fighting, forcefully separated by an enormously tall Mountain Giant Vampire who held two gigantic Blood Red Battle Axes and wore Black Divine Armor from head to toe, resembling a walking tower of a man.

The powerful blow he inflicted against this Vampire was easily tanked by the Vampire's powerful vitality and regeneration, which reached completely new levels of insanity upon becoming Gods! Hector was blown away by a powerful cross-shaped blow as the Vampire laughed. His armor barely resisting the damage…

However, the Cursed Armor that Drake bought from Rakasha long ago which he had eaten and turned into a Skill that could summon such armor, held a special power! It had, of course, a Curse! This Curse enhanced the user's physical abilities in exchange for their vitality, energy, life, or blood. And even more, upon being upgraded, this effect gained a new ability, as it could absorb damage taken and repurpose it into enchanting this buff.

It wasn't an endless cycle though, and once the activation was complete, it couldn't be activated again unless the curse effects ran out and were deactivated… Nonetheless, this small buff was all Hector needed, pointing his spear at the Giant Vampire, and then gathering his Mana into it!

"I've lived my entire life being a mere guard in a village, until all those events happened, until this day… I've come together with the love of my life and I even got a baby. I ain't losing to some goddamn blood fucking sucker!" Hector roared with all his rowdy farmer dialect, as he unleashed a powerful unnamed ability within the Divine Light Spear!

"Not… YET!"

Hector's Divine Spear shone with bright light, as it suddenly shoot out a ray of holy light right into the Vampire's face!

FLAAAASSSSHH!

The enormous ray was gigantic, several Vampires nearby were blown away by the shockwave, as their armor began to burn and so did their bodies, weakening them severely so others could pick them up more easily!

"Eh?!"

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The enormous beat impacted the Vampire's face directly, as the light quickly spread all over his armor! The armor, was a Cursed Armor made and enchanted using countless phantasmal souls. It was advanced into a divine armor, but it heavily relied in ghosts to be powerful, which were incredibly weak to this very light!

FLAAASH!

The ghosts were purified in an instant as the Vampire's armor suddenly turned completely useless! The light easily disintegrated it, but the Vampire, although completely burned, somehow survived. Thanks to his natural regeneration and the tenacity of Vampire's vitality.

"You bastards, you've got me good…" The Vampire roared furiously, his Blood Aura quickly being imbued into his weapons. "But this is not over yet!"

"RAAAAAH!"

Hector quickly clashed against the armor-less vampire god, as the two exchanged blows that unleashed powerful shockwaves across the skies!

CLAAASH CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASSSH!

"This guy's no normal Vampire God, he's… what Rank is he?!" Hector thought, clashing against the Vampire. He dealt several blows into his body yet the wounds were lethal and he was still standing, slowly regenerating against all odds!

Suddenly, the small blue slime inside of Hector's armor spoke. This was his loyal friend, a slime that Drake had created which has separated its ego and soul from his original creator to become a slime of its own, and a vital ally for Hector, possessing a few of Drake's abilities, the most basics ones, which included being able to sense the Rank of other beings based in their divine power emanating from their bodies.

"Hector, this guy's bad news! He's Rank 8 Middle Stage! This is how he's so resilient!"

"What? Rank 8 Middle Stage?!"

"And he's also not being controlled by Red!"

"Ah!"

CLAAASSSSHH!!!

Hector was distracted enough for the Vampire to take opportunity upon this opening, unleashing a barrage of Battle Axe Techniques against him. The Blood Aura spread out into lightning of red color, clashing against Hector's armor and slowly cracking it!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

"What's wrong kiddo?! You're getting slow! Surprised I am not a puppet? Bwahaha… There are a few of us like this, we are loyal servants to our Lady Red!"

CLAAAASH!!!

The Vampire hit Hector once more, throwing him away. His armor suddenly shattered in various parts, showing his chain mail below.

"Y-You're willing working with the woman that ruined your family?!" Hector asked, already knowing the background of what was going on as Drake had explained it to everyone beforehand.

"Ruined it? I was merely an outcast. They didn't liked my ways. I was treated as barbarian…" The tall Mountain Giant spoke, his white beard wavering by the snowy wind as his bald head shone brightly, his two red eyes pierced through Hector's soul. "Lady Red took me in and…!"

FLAAAASSHH!

He flew directly towards Hector, clashing against him with both of his Axes! Hector quickly defended using his Spear, barely parrying the blows!

CRAAASH!

"She took me in and helped me… She said I had worth!"

CRAAASH!

"She said I was useful…!"

CRAAASH!

"She said… She needed me!"

CRAAASH!

"She's an insane nutjob! She's only using you!"

Hector tried to reason with the barbarian vampire, but there was no point in doing that…

"Nutjob? Maybe…" Laughed the man. "But that nutjob is the one that gave me a meaning to my worthless life… I was merely a Blood Slave accidentally turned into a Vampire, I was humiliated and looked down upon. They threw me away and I had to live in the wilderness… every day I was almost eaten by wild monsters! She gave me a reason… To be!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASSSHHH!

The Mountain Giant Vampire clashed against Hector; the young human barely managed to parry his blows.

"And a name…!"

His smile suddenly changed, growing more wicked as Hector barely was keeping up with him, his overwhelming might easily overpowering Hector, who was only Rank 7 Middle Stage.

He suddenly raised his Battle Axes into the sky, charging them with Divine Blood Aura, and unleashing the most devastating combined blow he could against Hector!

"And that name's Titan! Remember it well as your soul goes to Helheim!"

CLAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
