Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1432 Emerald Jumps Into Battle!

Chapter 1432 Emerald Jumps Into Battle!

-----

Tyrannus was born in the jungles around thirty-six years ago. Since then, he had sharpened his Skills the best he could. In an unwelcoming world, the Union of Tribes that made the Village was a safe haven, protected by the invisible barrier created by the Ancient Ruins, the people could prosper.

However, that didn't meant they could simply live in here forever. The world outside still harbored their food and resources, and therefore, they had to train and become strong. Even in a safe haven as their home, they had to progressively grow stronger to face the dangerous outside world, hunt, gather, and survive.

He still recalls his late grandmother's words, about the Great Union that was formed over a hundred years ago between the Four Main Tribes that lived in these Jungles.

The Swamp Lizardmen, strong and adaptive, yet not that dexterous with their hands, and quick-witted, easy to anger due to their temperament.

The Mountain Lizardmen, tough, slow, and wise. They harbored the longest lifespans and held much knowledge about the world, about recipes for medicines, and also knew how to craft armor.

The Lowland Lizardmen, small, quick, and dexterous. They were capable of crafting all sorts of complicated things, and together, they could build entire buildings in a matter of days, highly creative, but lacking the strength to survive alone.

And the Frogmen, good at swimming, gathering underwater products, fishing, and detecting poisonous and dangerous plants. They could live underwater almost indefinitely, but they were weak and often had to hide.

These four tribes were once at war with one another, for territory and for food. Yet one of their leaders found the safe haven, a place where no monsters stepped into, where there was no danger.

Slowly, that ancient leader unified the tribes, below the promise of unity and survival. The tribes agreed ultimately, leaving behind their grudges, something that took many years.

Eventually, prosperity came, each tribe interacted, and even fell in love with other members of different tribes, back then hybrids were rare, but now they were very common, inheriting abilities from two or even three tribes at once, these offspring held great talent.

Tyrannus wanted to protect his people, he was chosen not only as the strongest, but also as someone smart without the quick temper of his tribe, someone people could rely on.

Yet now… he found himself powerless, seeing his beloved wife's life wither away slowly. His daughter hated him for his decisions, and the only savior they had was chased away now, because he couldn't stop his people from mobbing on him for things he might have never done.

All because he blamed the origin of their prosperity, the Ancient Ruins…

"Nemed…" He sighed, holding his wife's hand, fully knowing the disease could affect him, but he couldn't care less. He wouldn't be able to call himself her husband if he didn't even held her hand in such a time.

His wife slowly fell asleep, the pain she was feeling having been slightly mitigated with drugs made from gathered herbs around the jungle, the only thing they could do now…

"I should go look for Amehia and talk to her…" He wondered. "But what should I even tell her? What should I do? Do I need to go against my people and tell them that there might be another way? What would my grandmother say…"

As he looked at the spear he always held, crafted by his dexterous wife, who was a very famous weapon and armor crafter, he suddenly heard something.

"A MONSTER! THERE'S A MONSTER!"

"Amehia?!"

It was his daughter's voice! Without even doubting it for a second, Tyrannus ran outside of the house, looking for his daughter, and suddenly noticing what was happening.

"W-Wha..?!"

It was a monster, a ma.s.s of countless vines, branches, roots, mushrooms, flowers, and all other sorts of plants, entwined with metallic cables and wires glowing on all sorts of colors.

Two deep red neon eyes flowed within the ma.s.s of tendrils, of over thirty meters of height, hiding beneath the night sky.

"FOOD… FOOO… DDD…"

Its tendrils extended around the entire jungle, reaching many houses at once. Following Amehia's screams came the screams of many people, as he noticed how each tentacle started dragging away everyone affected by the disease!

"W-What the…?! Ah!"

Before he could even reunite with his daughter, he looked back to his house, the tendrils reaching inside and dragging his unconscious wife away!

"No…! NEMEEEDDD!"

His Mana Core glowed brightly; an Aura of Red color encompa.s.sed his body. Tyrannus possessed the very rare Element of War, a magic element that enhanced physical strength, reflexes, and even movement speed!

"[Warrior's Aura]!"

FLAAASH!

An Aura of Power enhanced all his stats, as he rushed towards the tendrils dragging his wife away, imbuing his Spear with this power as well.

"[Mighty Spear's Strike]!!!"

With a furious roar, he clashed against the vines and metallic tendrils, a loud explosion of magic power was unleashed in that moment!

CRAAa.s.sHH!!!

"Ugh?!"

However, to his surprise, his attack was almost completely futile! His spear gained countless cracks, and the wires and vines were almost completely unscathed!

"W-Wha…?! Is this thing a Divine Beast?! Where did it came from?!" He thought. "GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE!"

Tyrannus did not give up, unleashing a barrage of attacks, trying with all his strength to destroy the vines and metallic wires with as much power as he could!

"[One Hundred Soldier's Spear Trusts]!"

His Aura erupted, shaping into almost a hundred mirages of himself as he attacked the beast's tendrils!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"SHAAAH!"

However, the beast only gave an annoyed groan before three tentacles rushed towards him, slamming against him with tremendous force, and pushing him away, sending him flying into the air!

CLAAAa.s.sSH!!!

"Uuaagghh…!"

Tyrannus vomited a mouthful of blood as he fell into the jungle floor, rolling over the dirt.

"Father!"

Amehia ran towards her father, her Spirits manifesting as they started to heal him, covering his wounds with glowing lights.

"Amehia… Your mother…! Don't let… that thing… take her away…!"

At the same time as this was happening, Drake and his friends sensed something going on inside the village.

"There's something going on in the village?!" Kraxka asked.

"I sense a monster!" Larzak said.

"Oh no! It's here! The monster! Move! I have to save everyone or that thing's going to eat them!" Suddenly, not Drake, but Emerald, roared, rushing out of the forest and imbuing Wind into his legs, jumping into the skies and descending towards the village.

FLAAASH!

The soldiers there were left utterly perplexed as they saw the evil sacred beast they had been chasing appear out of nowhere and fly into their village without any effort whatsoever!

"W-Was that… the sacred beast?!"

"N-No way, it was there this whole time?!"

"Enough is enough, we're going in." Drake walked past them as he easily ignored their spears, kicking the wooden gate open. "Everyone, let's go! Quickly!"

"OOOHHH!"

The rest of his group surged from the forest, the guards left even more perplexed as they saw dozens of people appear out of nowhere, rushing inside their village!

"SHAAAAHHH… FOOD… FOOOOODDDD!!!"

The monstrous beast opened its gigantic maws, revealing thousands of sharp fangs as the people it captured screamed in horror.

"Uaagh!"

"Someone help!"

"W-What's going on?!"

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!"

However, a green-colored light emerged from the skies, a beaked dragon descended from the night sky and clashed against the beast, throwing a powerful wind-powered kick!

"[Draconic Tempest Kick]!"

BAAAAMMMM!!!
