Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1518 Ever-Growing Crisis

Chapter 1518 Ever-Growing Crisis

-----

"Y-Yuki…"

Pekora glanced into the skies as she saw Yuki fly off, clashing against Marchosias and helping Tisha, Rakasha, and Aegir fight the overwhelmingly powerful Demon Lord.

The blue lotus behind her had not disappeared either. The tree that she had used to heal Yuki ended transforming into this strange form after absorbing Yuki's Divine Power, coming straight out of her Soul.

"I always thought she was just a hardworking girl, but it looks like Yuki's much more than any of us could have imagined." She thought. "Was she always so smart because of her special soul?"

She had learned from Drake that Yuki used to be a small Snow Monkey Rat, that evolved into a Frost Monkey-Chinchilla and lastly, into a Beast-kin of the same hybrid.

Aside from being a thing she had never heard about, Drake described Yuki as someone that always was smart, even since she was a tiny rat, she could understand Drake and helped him by giving him fruits when he was starving.

In exchange, Drake protected her while she feed him fruits he couldn't get to as easily, forming a small bond between the two.

He could even give her orders and she would quickly do them, sometimes even learning how to cook, craft, and even make medicine after he taught her.

Yuki's intelligence evolved alongside her personality, growing slightly snarky, yet always very smart.

"Was it all because of this Special Soul of hers? Even her Beast Spirits… Their Origin is not Yggdrasil, now that I think about it." Pekora thought, quickly resting at the side of the flower.

FLAAASH!

"This flower…"

The Aura continued being exuded from the flower, it seemed like some sort of signal, spiritual energies flowing from it.

"T-This is… It is calling for someone?"

It wasn't calling for her at all, even though she was a byproduct of this flower's creation.

No, it was calling another person, a girl with an even bigger apt.i.tude and affinity with spirit magic than even Pekora.

Barely resisting her exhaustion from making her fall unconscious, the rabbit-kin Shaman glanced into the distance, sitting above the watchtower, and noticing a group of armored lizardmen warriors confronting armies of Lesser Demons that infiltrated the smaller cracks.

Behind them there was a lizardman girl she recognized, Amehia, a girl she had taught a few spells and other things and found her growth staggeringly fast.

"That's… Amehia! She had yet to run away?! And are those the warriors that went to the dungeon with Drake?" She wondered. "T-Then Drake's… soon to come back too! And-"

"DAMMIT! STOP!"

However, interrupting her train of thoughts, the scream of Emerald echoed above the already shattering barrier, as a group of gigantic Blue Onis appeared, smashing the barrier with gigantic clubs.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

Crack, crack…!

"S-STOP!"

Ruby's scream echoed; the pressure of each hit was so painful it made her entire body throb agonizingly.

"Open the barrier!"

She had emptied almost all her Mana and Divine Power, and could not do much at all… However, the Aura the flower exuded, it was very strong.

"This is where the fragment of our King is located!"

"SECURE IT!"

The Blue Onis, gigantic in size at over two hundred meters, smashed the barrier into pieces as their t.i.tanic bone and metallic clubs smashed it down.

BAAAAMM!!!

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

"No! Ugh…!"

Almost half of the entire barrier shattered, making Ruby faint on the spot, falling on the floor only for the rest of the vampires to panic.

"RUBY!"

Her mother and the other vampires cried, only her mother running towards her while the rest kept the Barrier, or whatever remained of it, standing.

"Ruby! Are you okay?!"

Her mother quickly opened a wound on her wrist, feeding it to her daughter, sweet blood filling her mouth as she swallowed it slowly.

"Uugh… I-I just ran out of Divine Power…"

"What?! You used it all?! Just how much energy did this barrier need?"

Her mother quickly realized that Ruby had been doing many times the work the other Vampires were doing. While she was maintaining over 70% of the barrier, their combined power only amounted to 30%

And it showed, what remained of the barrier slowly started to fall into gla.s.s-like pieces. Countless swarms of lesser demons entering rapidly, in the form of Imps, Gargoyles, and h.e.l.l Spiders.

"The barrier's breaking apart! Ruby can't take it anymore…" Pekora muttered. "Ugh, please, this d.a.m.n flower… Give me your spirit energy! Why are you rejecting me?!"

Pekora tried making a contract with this powerful Divine Spirit, but the Blue Lotus completely ignored her… It simply sought someone else.

"You want her, huh?"

The rabbit-kin shaman used the last bits of Mana in her to summon a tiny yellow colored rabbit, made completely out of lightning.

"Aki… Please, bring that girl over here! Q-Quickly!"

"Kyuuh!"

The little rabbit zapped off, as Pekora took out a small vial from her pocket, the last potion she had, and drank it, recovering some more of her energies.

"Amehia, run! Stop trying to help us!"

Tyrannus roared, swinging his spear as he killed several Imps and Gargoyles, which were swarming them from all sides.

The red portal leading to Ruby's Divine Realm had already closed, something Tyrannus had not realized, Amehia was sticking with him and the warriors because she had literally no way out.

"The portal to safety is gone, dad! I can't help it!"

She conjured magic, creating vines that slowed down the demons, helping the warriors strike them down with their divine weapons.

"It did?!"

Tyrannus looked into the distance, confirming the portal closed. This happened because of Ruby fainting for a bit.

"Dammit!"

He looked into the skies, noticing Emerald fighting against the Demons as much as he could, he was already being overwhelmed by the Blue Onis, which were over a dozen.

They had just come out from an intense dungeon full of trials, yet they were thrown into another h.e.l.lish battlefield!

"Then enter my divine domain-"

"Huh? A rabbit- Uwaaagh!"

Before Tyrannus could finish his words, his eyes widened as she saw Amehia fly away, carried by golden lightning!

"AMEHIA?!"
