Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1427 Meeting A Very Strange... DRAGON?!

Chapter 1427 Meeting A Very Strange... DRAGON?!

-----

TRUM! TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!

We all got alert as we heard a big thing approaching, to make things worse, it exuded a powerful Divine Aura, at the very least, it was Rank 9 in strength alone, yet it felt somewhat stronger than that, as if this Aura was also channeling the strength of… nature and the environment?

"HELP MEEEE! PLEASE HELP!"

FLAAASH!

Amidst the giant leaves and trees of the jungle, the ent.i.ty appeared, crying like a child, and asking for help despite being so powerful themselves…

Its appearance, however, was what made us felt strange! I could swear that presence was mighty, even like that of a dragon…

But this thing looked like a four-legged, green-colored, black-beaked chocobo!

It had sharp, blacks called talons with golden claws, long legs covered on fuzzy and fluffy green and yellow feathers, with another pair of big wings on its back.

There were two tiny golden horns coming from above its forehead, as its big emerald eyes glanced at us in fear, asking for a.s.sistance.

The two wings above their shoulders seemed damaged, one was totally broken, and the other seemed dislocated, the creature was in pain.

It had a long, black scaled tail covered on green and golden feathers, ending on many colorful feathers, resembling the colors of the rainbow.

It was a rather extravagant creature, that's for sure.

"PLEASE HELP ME, STRANGERS! THE-AKH!"

The creature suddenly tripped over the ground, their body of over ten meters rolling over the jungle, destroying dozens of trees on their way as we swiftly evaded the impact.

BAAAAMM!!!

"Ouch, ouchies…" The little creature started rubbing their head, suddenly looking back at us. "AAAH! WAAH! Y-You guys… Who are ya?!"

"I think we should be the ones asking that question!" Benladann said, crossing her arms.

"Where did you come from, big guy?" Miranda was curious.

"It's a huge talking bird, no way!" Yuki cried. "Is the heat making me go crazy or something?"

"Ugh… I'm not a talking bird, I'm a dragon!" The creature quickly stood back up, looking at us angrily.

"A DRAGON?!"

We were left perplexed by those words. I have seen many dragons before, even some made completely out of wood and plants, yet that were still recognizable as Dragons.

But this guy… He's just a gryphon, a four-legged bird! Maybe those scientifically accurate dinosaurs covered in feathers. But a dragon?!

Ah, well… When I was born I was a small wingless lizard, so maybe dragons can take all sorts of shapes, though for sure, I've never seen one with a beak.

"Ain't no way you're a dragon!" Yuki said. "Liar!"

"Is it some sort of talking gryphon species?" Wondered Larzak. "Amusing."

"Your wings are broken lad, are you okay?" Hector wondered. "And stop teasing them, by the way they talk I bet they must be a child or something."

"You sure have a gentle heart, Hector." Kraxka laughed.

"Let me deal with this." I said, walking to the creature. "What's your name? Name's Drake, I'm a dragon too… I've never heard of beaked dragons before."

"And I've never heard of ice giants saying they're dragons! Ain't no way you're one too!" They said, crossing their arms. "And my name is Emerald… I belong to the strongest Tribe of Dragons out there! The Wind Dragons!"

"Wind Dragons…?" I asked. "I have never heard of those before… I guess you guys must not be well known among the records."

"W-What?! Such blasphemy!" Said the beaked fella. "And- AH! W-Wait, they're coming! I have to run away! Can you help me hide somewhere?"

"They? Who's they?" Ruby asked. "And why exactly a dragon as strong as you are escaping from anything at all?"

"B-Because they're meanies!" Cried the dragon, tears coming from their eyes pathetically. "They bullied me… And I just wanted to help them, but they thought it was all my fault, and now everyone hate me… Sniff…"

The kid suddenly started crying… Honestly, it made me feel a bit bad.

Benladra and Kate acted quicker than we did, my two daughters flying towards the wounded dragon, as my oldest daughter conjured her light into their wings.

"[Healing Brilliance]!"

FLAAAa.s.sSH!

"Ooh?!" The beaked dragon reacted in shock, the wings being fixed… a little. "My wings don't hurt anymore! Thank you little girl! Sniff…"

"My name is Benladra, I'm a dragon too!" She said.

"A-A dragon too? But you're so tiny…" The beaked creature said.

"Are you okay? Who are the baddies?" Kate asked. "We'll beat them… Ah, my name is Kate."

"Y-You can't beat them, they're good people at the end, but- Ah, they're here!"

Suddenly, we heard a huge band of warriors rushing towards us. Instead of confronting them, we decided to hide and see what happened, as I waved my hands and used Dream Magic with Belle's help.

"[Dreaming Illusory Veil]"

FLAAASH!

And there, we completely disappeared from the sight of anybody coming here. The figures emerging were of all sizes, but covered in big green scales, with huge lizard-like heads, some resembled turtles with big sh.e.l.ls behind their backs, while others had the heads of crocodiles and were much taller and buffer.

There were also some resembling frogs, with sticky and skinny arms and legs, and a few others resembling smaller kinds of lizards, but all humanoid… Were they other tribes of Lizardmen?!

They were all carrying weapons and armor though, primarily spears imbued with magic runes, they were all mortals though, but they seemed very adapted to these environments.

"Where is it?!"

"We've lost the calamity again!"

"Agh, that blasted bird thing!"

"It can't get too far away; its wings are broken after all."

"To think it would not only eat half our supplies in a single night but even spread that weird disease around! And it dares escape from its fate?!" The largest in the group spoke, resembling a crocodile-headed lizardman, with huge muscles, covered on heavy bone armor, holding a huge axe.

"And it even dared to push all the fault to the Ancient Ruins, as if that place hasn't been protecting us for all this time…"

"Let's keep looking around, it shouldn't be so far away!"

"Yeah!"

The entire group kept running around the jungle, looking for the culprit… I can't believe mortals are chasing around a Divine Dragon with so much bloodthirst in their eyes.

If this beaked guy wasn't such a crybaby, he would had blasted them into oblivion with a single wind gust…

Yet here he is, crying about this…

G.o.d, what kind of shenanigans am I getting into now?

"They're gone." I sighed, as our stealth disappeared. "Are you alright?"

"Are they really gone? REALLY?!" Emerald asked, covering his face with a tiny leaf, thinking that could hide his gigantic body, while trembling.

"Yes, they're gone, my feathered friend." I laughed. "Anyways, stop trembling like a chicken! Why do they even hate you so much, kid?"

"Ugh, it's a long story…" Sighed the bird-faced dragon. "And-"

BBBRRRRHHH…

His huge stomach suddenly started rumbling loudly.

"Ah, d-do you happen to have some fruits or seeds?" He asked shamelessly.

"Alright, let's have a meal while we are at it, I was getting a bit hungry myself." I shrugged. "How about it?" I asked my group.

"Sure, why not? And like that we can learn more about who the heck he is!" Benladann nodded.

"Y-You don't have to be so mean…" Emerald cried.
