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

As Vulcan overwhelmed both Ruby and Rakasha through the combination of several unique swordsmanship techniques, suddenly, Ruby smiled.

"It's done." She smiled, her eyes glowing bright red. "[Divine Blood Crimson Sanctuary]"

FLAAAASH!

Several crimson red runes started emerging one after another across the ground, covering over a hundred meters, the runes shone brightly, combining together, as a sea of blood flooded the entire area.

"W-What the…?!"

Vulcan was taken aback as he was taken away by the Blood Sea, which quickly shapeshifted into a gigantic sanctuary made of crystalized blood, trapped!

"Phew, that was tough to make." Ruby sighed. "I had to drop my blood all around."

"What is the meaning of this? You think you can restrain the Warrior King?" Laughed Vulcan, his sword overflowing with flames. "[Blazing Heaven Blade]!"

Making his sword grow over ten times its original size, and covered by deadly flames, Vulcan unleashed a barrage of slashing blows, explosions of flames covered the sanctuary.

Yet!

"Huh?!"

Vulcan stepped back as he felt the flames he unleashed come back to him, hitting him several times! At the same time, countless blood chains started emerging, wrapping around his body and draining his life force and mana.

"T-This…!"

He started to grow desperate, glancing around while swinging his sword, quickly realizing that one of his strongest techniques was not properly working against this strange spell.

"You restrained him?!" Rakasha was surprised.

"It won't last forever." Ruby sighed. "It is a special Spell I created using my ancestor's special spells as the pillars. It can restrain a powerful foe for a few minutes, drain their energy, and weaken them severely. However, against this monster, it might last less than a minute."

"RAAAAAH!"

Vulcan grew madder, letting go of his restraint as his furious roars echoed across the battlefield, flames constantly erupted from his entire body and his sword as well, trying to constantly destroy the sanctuary.

"Don't worry, the beast shall be freed from his cage eventually!" Ruby smiled. "Sorry for playing nasty, but I am not the type of person to fight head-on like a warrior. [Blood Soul Curse]"

FLAAAASH!

Before the sanctuary were to dissipate, Ruby used this opportunity to curse Vulcan's soul and body, his energy began to be transferred towards her as his stats started to lower exponentially.

"Urgh…! ARGH…! YOU WITCH!"

CRAAAAAASSSH!

With a last swing of his sword, Vulcan finally freed himself from the sanctuary, leaping like a mad lion towards Ruby and Rakasha, the two once more greeted him!

"[Blazing Blood Ignition]!" Ruby roared, spraying her blood over the body of Vulcan as it quickly glowed bright red before exploding over his face!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"AARGH?! Y-YOU! [Blazing Heaven Blade Ascension]!"

Furious about Ruby's attack, his sword grew twenty times its original size this time around, as Vulcan maddeningly slashed against Ruby's body with it, splitting her entire body into two!

SLAAAAAAASSSSH!

CRAAAASH!

"Hah… HAHAHAHA!"

Vulcan celebrated as he saw Ruby being split apart into two halves! However, Rakasha did not budge as he rushed towards his back, his hammer descending over his head with a strong blow!

"[Draconic Hammer Bloody Smite]!

BAAAAAAMM!

"ARGH…!"

Vulcan fell into the ground, his skull gaining several cracks as he roared, kicking Rakasha away while raising his sword into the skies and making it descend towards Rakasha's chest!

"DIE!"

"[Vampire Venerable's Divine Blood Claws]!"

CRAAAASH! CRAAAASH!

"Wha…?!"

Vulcan was once more surprised as he heard Ruby's voice coming from behind a second before two huge claws made of divine blood descended from the skies and stopped his attacks, punching him several times and blowing him away!

"URGH…! You're supposed to be dead!" Vulcan screamed, as he glanced at Ruby floating in midair.

Her arms were missing and instead of wounds, there was only a divine, primordial blood coming out of her "wounds" where there could not be seen any bones or flesh.

"Dead? Maybe you should try harder if you want to kill the Blood Venerable's successor." Ruby smiled, showing her sharp vampiric fangs, as her body divided itself, showing that the damage Vulcan had dealt was minimal.

Why? Well…

"You're made of blood?!"

Vulcan was shaken. It wasn't that Ruby was made of blood, but thanks to her [Divine Blood Venerable Physique] she could completely turn into blood and avoid lethal damage by exchanging her blood mass, which she was already regaining by constantly draining Vulcan off his own blood.

"Something like that." Ruby laughed. "Though, should you be talking with me right now?"

"Huh?!" Vulcan suddenly realized he had grown… slower.

He felt dizzier and slower, his senses were not as sharp as before, his mind was going mad, and his eyes took a while to glance at Rakasha, that came from above him!

His hammer suddenly grew several times larger, combining his smithy flames, his blood energy, and his frost magic power together, a huge hammer of red blood ice covered on crimson flames descended, hitting Vulcan!

CRAAAAAAASSSSH!

"GRUUUAARGH!"

Vulcan tried to defend with his sword, placing it above him, his flames no longer responded him as before, no matter how hard he was trying to fight back, he was losing in terms of sheer strength, something not possible before.

"T-This is…! I cannot… LOSE! I am the Warrior King, I am-"

"You're another puppet for your Flame Emperor, nothing else."

Ruby appeared right behind him, the blood mass of her arms already back into her body, as she gathered a large quantity of the energies she drained off Vulcan to summon her Divine Blood Soul Weapon again, Scarlet!

"[God-Slaying Blood Spear]!"

And with a powerful swing of her gigantic spear, she pierced Vulcan's body from his back all the way into his chest, shattering his divine core in the way, and destroying his very soul as well!

"T-This can't… be!"

CLAAAAAAAASSSSSH!!!

Vulcan felt his very soul disintegrating and being devoured by Ruby, as his blood was also drained, his body quickly turning into a dried-out mummy, as his consciousness while fading away, even now, could not believe how he was defeated.

"I am… the Warrior King…!"

After saying those dry words, Vulcan, the Legend of the Muspelheim Continent, was defeated by Ruby, the successor of the Vampire Venerable.

Author's Note: will be the begining of the last battle against the Flame Emperor!
