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

"GROAR!"

"SHAAAH!"

"GRAAAH!"

Frost, Kuro, and Kumo attacked a huge Fire Giant man wearing a black armor and holding a gigantic black and red sword. The three powerful Divine Beasts had been devastating the army of the Flame Emperor.

Until he arrived, and singlehandedly held back all three of Drake's strongest Divine Beasts with a few swings of his Greatsword. Their bodies were already covered in many wounds, which were not regenerating back at all.

Gray flames gently burning their wounds and bodies, their energies were slowly being drained away, their strength lowering exponentially.

And this huge man responsible for that was simply standing there, without saying another word. His stoic and manly face showed a huge scar in the middle of it, his eyes glared with red light.

He was the Flame Emperor's strongest Hound, Vulcan, the Warrior King.

A man that almost any Fire Giant would easily recognize, a man of legends, that had made many spread stories about his battle-driven journey.

His stories said he was born on a small village of swordsmen, that was destroyed by divine beasts. As the sole survivor, he alone carries the legacy and sword techniques of his tribe.

He wandered across the Continent of Muspelheim, utilizing the techniques his father taught him, and with wits alone, he slain countless beasts.

Slowly growing stronger one step at a time as he saved the lives of many others on the way, he was quickly known as the Blazing Swordsmen, and later on, the Sword King.

However, after his legend was spread far and wide, he disappeared, leaving behind countless of people awaiting his return to the many villages he had once visited.

Someone that was believed to be a hero by many, was working for the Flame Emperor.

"ROAAARR!"

Frost desperately leaped towards him, swinging his two gigantic claws while unleashing a wave of slashing shadows and hundreds of icicle spears.

SLAAAASH! BOOOOM!

However, with a single swing of his massive sword, Vulcan sliced through all darkness and frost, a wave of red and gray flames hit Frost's face, throwing the divine beast away.

"Awooo!"

The huge wolf groaned in agony as his face burned by flames that drained away his life and mana, Vulcan remained in silence, slowly walking towards the wolf.

"You're the first beast I've ever meet capable of taking such an attack to the face and survive." He said, pointing his sword at the struggling wolf. "I commend your efforts. I will give you a swift death by my sword!"

Preparing a powerful attack using his gigantic blade, Vulcan jumped into midair and descended towards the young Fenrir's neck, aiming to cleanly slice it down.

SLAAAASH!

CRASH!

However, what intercepted his attack was a huge black and red hammer that flew towards his direction, giving enough time for Frost to run away from the impact, rejoining the other two Divine Beasts.

Huginn and Muninn descended from the skies in that moment, conjuring healing magic to keep the three alive, for now.

"A hammer?!"

Vulcan was forced to move back, hitting the floor as he glanced at the tall, muscular, and manly figure that had fired that huge divine hammer towards him.

A white bearded Ice Giant man wearing silver armor made out of Drake's scales, which quickly called back the hammer he was wielding into his hand.

His eyes glowed with a bright red light, his aura emanating the power of not just a mere Ice Giant, a dark scarlet colored aura surged from within his muscular frame.

"You…" Vulcan's eyes were locked on the man.

"The Beasts did well in holding back a monster like you." The Ice Giant said, his hammer beginning to overflow with his powerful Flames. "But now, I'll be your opponent."

"Don't forget about me, Rakasha."

FLAAASH!

A young woman appeared behind Rakasha, with long wine-red colored hair and glowing red eyes. Pale white skin, as pale as candles, wearing a white blouse, tight black leather pants, and red heels, her body quickly was quickly encompassed by her powerful Divine Blood Aura, materializing into a crimson red armor around her beautiful body.

"Ruby, I told you to stay behind, he's dangerous." Said Rakasha.

"Mother's already taking care of that area of the battlefield with the rest of our Vampire Soldiers." Ruby said. "Let me help you out a bit, at the very least, uncle. After all, I'm stronger than you."

FLAAASH!

Vulcan didn't even wait for them to finish their words, instantly rushing towards the two Vampires while imbuing his giant sword with his Divine Flames, swinging it several times against the two at once!

"[Demonic Infernal Blade Descent]"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

Upper swings, left facing slashes, vertical strikes, and explosive impacts, all came together as Vulcan unleashed a barrage of incredibly fast swordsmanship techniques at once! Changing his stance with every attack, generating a wondrous combo that could not be easily stopped.

"[Scarlet Blood Sword Rain]"

However, Ruby wasn't someone that would budge against mere swordsmanship arts. Her Divinity, inherited from the very Venerable of Blood after he had failed to take over her body, erupted as hundreds of blades made of blood were directed at Vulcan at the same time.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASSSH!

"Ungh?!"

Vulcan budged, stepping back as he charged his sword with Divine Power and swung it vertically, a wave of all-destroying flames emerged.

"[Infernal Wave]!"

SLAAAAASH!

The wave of flames was intercepted by Rakasha as he stepped forward, his entire body exuding an aura of blood and flames, the combination of his Vampire Powers and his own Divinity as a Blacksmith.

"[Scarlet Hammer's Smite]!"

CRAAAAASSSH!

As he swung his hammer, Rakasha's auras converged together, forming a gigantic hammer made of blood flames, hitting back Vulcan's Infernal Wave, and completely destroying it before it could reach him or Ruby.

"Not bad." Vulcan smiled at the challenge. "It is rare to see Vampires in these lands, even rarer to find some that are not affected by our intense sunlight and our blazing landscape. How is it possible that you can even fight so well?"

"Do we need to answer that question?" Ruby asked, appearing right behind Vulcan.

"Huh?!" Vulcan was taken aback. "(I didn't even sensed her move at all!)" Vulcan thought, his eyes opening in surprise.

"[Crimson Blood Star]!"
