Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1324 Completing The Trial And Moving On

Chapter 1324 Completing The Trial And Moving On

-----

Once the Blazing Chaos Dragon was taken care of, the Flame Venerable was oddly joyful. It made me feel a bit nervous, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d threw us an unexpectedly hard challenge out of nowhere, in what we thought would be an easy monster-hunting trial.

At the end, it became a battle where we put our lives on the line to defeat yet another of these overpowered Chaos Dragon Fragments. It seems they're getting stronger somehow, they always manage to match our strength when we fight them.

There might be something happening around the world that's awakening their dormant powers more and more… Maybe we should hurry and defeat them all before they become so strong they'll free themselves from their seals.

"Well, congrats! You've completed the hardest trial out of the four available!" Laughed the Venerable of Flames. "I have to give it to you; I had NO hope of you guys actually managing to win! But here I am, swallowing my own pride."

"Swallowing your own pride, huh?" I sighed. "What? Did you expect us to die? b.a.s.t.a.r.d…"

"Hahahaha! Well, it wasn't as if the trials of those two women were any different, weren't they?" Laughed the Venerable.

"Well, I guess… you're not wrong." I sighed. "Anyways-"

"f.u.c.king h.e.l.l! Come on! Be more cheerful! You did it! Well done!" He got angered, manifesting his blazing body, resembling a floating genie made of fire. "Alright, I'm convinced."

"Convinced?" I asked, feeling confused.

Was this demon going to throw us another impossible trial?

"You'll inherit my powers!" Laughed the Venerable of Flames.

"W-Wait, what? That easy?!" Asked everyone at the same time.

"Ahahahaha! No, not that easy though! But I'll give you a part of my inheritance for now. However, now you're qualified to enter the true inheritance and compete with the other four qualified…" Said the Venerable of Flames. "Well, there's only three, the fourth one… might come really soon."

"So it hasn't been decided yet…" I sighed. "Oh well-"

Ding!

[You have completed all three waves in under 30 minutes!]

[You earned +100.000.000 Divine Power as a Reward.]

[You earned [Crystalized Essence of Primordial Fire (S Grade)] x3 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Divine Infernal Flame Orichalc.u.m Ingot (S Grade)] x3 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Divine Volcanic Infernal Pearl (S Grade)] x3 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Blazing Dragon Divine Core Fragment (SS Grade)] x1 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Blazing Dragon Blood Elixir (SS Grade)] x1 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Fire t.i.tan Divine Core Fragment (SS Grade)] x1 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Fire t.i.tan Blood Elixir (SS Grade)] x1 as a Reward.]

[You earned [Savage Sun Flare Divinity Fragment] x5 as a Reward.]

As the rewards finally dropped, I was left almost speechless. Several SS Grade materials were gifted, including the Divine Core Fragments of Fire Dragons and Fire t.i.tans, and their blood as well! This'll help me unlock their bloodlines and powers even faster!

However, that was not all, as I also acquired five small fragments of the Venerable of Flames original divinity, the "Savage Sun Flare" Divinity, which was said to have engulfed the world in flames in the past…

"Heheh, satisfied with that for now?!" He laughed. "I bet you are! You got the best rewards though, your friends got some Divine Power to compensate, so don't worry. I'm sure they won't complain over you getting the goods, you're the leader after all."

"Meh, I was expecting something more, but it's whatever." Yuki shrugged.

"My reward is Drake's gratefulness." Pekora smiled.

"Well, I would had loved a weapon or something though! Kind of lame for a savage venerable to not hand over some weapons!" Tisha complained.

"TCH! Oi, are you calling me not generous now?!" The Venerable cried in fury. "I am not stingy! You'll get some good Divine Weapons once the True Trial begins. For that, wait until the fourth one appears."

"I see, who are the current qualified ones?" I asked.

"That guy named Flame Emperor, you, and… Heheh, should I ruin the fun? I might as well keep it a surprise!" He laughed. "I ain't telling you."

"Wait, what?! Just tell us!" Benladann said.

"So that insane genocide-loving emperor is in this too?" Sighed Miranda. "What a b.u.mmer, for real…"

"Well, whatever, I bet whoever is the third one might be someone important if he says it would "ruin the fun" to reveal their existence…" I sighed. "Is it the little Fire Dragon by any chance though?"

"Ah? Little dragon? Nah, there's no weakling like that in the qualified ones… Though maybe he would become the fourth? Hahaha! Who knows?!" The Venerable of Flames laughed. "Now, this tower belongs to you, it'll be a crucial part once the last and final trial begins. Make sure that it doesn't get blasted or something."

"This tower?" I wondered. "Weird… Wait, don't tell me… Is the trial going to be a Tower Defense thing?"

"Tower what?" The Venerable wondered, raising an eyebrow. "Anyways! Now that you can control this place, it works kind of like a Dungeon. By infusing Divine Power, you can automatically generate Divine Monsters of multiple Ranks, and it also comes with the function of being able to teleport to the entrance of the other trials, only when the last trial has yet to begin."

FLAAASH!

A large gate emerged from the ground, opening itself and revealing us a path to the other inheritance near the Muspel's Bone Mountain Range we wanted to go from the beginning.

"Nice, it's there!" Benladann celebrated.

"Let's go then!" Benladra said.

"Let's meet the little dragon!" Kate was excited too.

"Heh, fine." I sighed. "Let's get going then. Oi gramps, we'll be coming later. Make sure to take care of my new dungeon until then."

"W-Who are you calling gramps?!" The Venerable said angrily.

"Bye old man~" Aegir giggled, flying away.

"You're older than me!" The Venerable of Flames continued barking in anger, as we stepped from one trial to another… in an instant, teleporting to the Muspel Bone Mountain Range.

It was truly the sight of dreams… a gigantic skeleton that once belonged to Muspel was now resting over the ground, covered on vegetation. The mountain where the young fire dragon that Yggdrasil said I should meet was right at its side.

Alright, I guess it's time to meet this mysterious fellow.

RUMBLE!

However, just as we arrived, the whole mountain started to tremble. An enormous Divine Blazing Aura surged from within the depths of the mountain, as the roar of a ferocious monster echoed.

"ROOOOOAAARRRRRR!!!"

"RAAAAAHHH!!!"

And also, the roar of a younger dragon and his smaller divine aura clashing against this beast… But that wasn't all, the larger beast's aura surged with a chaotic power akin to a Chaotic Spirit!

Has some sort of old Chaos Spirit that was sealed in this mountain awakened, by any chance?!

If so, this is even more terrible! That Little Fire Dragon is really important according to Yggdrasil, I can't have him dying on me just when I arrived!

"W-Wait, is the little dragon fighting something dangerous?!" Benladann panicked.

"This is bad! Didn't that tree said you should protect him?!" Asked Miranda.

"Looks like we can't take a break yet! Let's go!" I said, quickly grabbing everyone with my giant claws and flying towards the mountain at full speed.
