Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1652 First Trial: Territory Defense

Chapter 1652 First Trial: Territory Defense

-----

[Welcome, Partic.i.p.ant, to the First Trial of the Venerable of Flames Inheritance: {Territory Defense}!]

[Survive against all other four partic.i.p.ants, send allies and summon creatures for your aid, reinforce your castle and walls, and create facilities to further improve your defenses.] [By defeating the allies or summoned monsters of the opposing sides, you'll acc.u.mulate Score Points.]

[You can use Score Points to summon more Monsters, Strengthen your Castle, Walls, or create Facilities.]

[Anybody that reaches 100.000 Score Points is qualified to enter the Second Trial.]

[Trial Duration: 24 Hours.]

[Those with the highest Scores will get the best Rewards available.]

[Some of the rewards include Divine Weapons, Divine Ability Scrolls, Divine Magic Spell Grimoires, and even Divine Treasures of the highest quality.]

[Partic.i.p.ants cannot leave their castles, but their allies are free to explore the Four Territories and attack them. If a Partic.i.p.ant tries to leave their castle, they will be instantly disqualified and kicked out.]

[Once the Walls are destroyed, the Castle will become vulnerable. By destroying the Castle or killing the Partic.i.p.ant, their faction is naturally disqualified.] [Any surviving allies they had will be promptly thrown outside the Trial.]

Every Partic.i.p.ant watched the information blazing in front of them, each letter made out of fiery crimson flames. The rules were very simple, and the Venerable didn't even need to explain them.

Attack your enemy's territory, earn Score Points, destroy their walls, destroy their castles, ma.s.sacre their armies.

Game over.

As simple as that!

"Interesting…" the man shrouded in shadows giggled, after calling this trial ridiculous. "Well, aren't I in a disadvantage? Unlike you, I brought no allies…"

"Heh, I guess you're going to struggle unless you Summon Monsters," Pandemonium smiled c.o.c.kily. "Not like we got any other option than to become allies here too. Those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are definitely going to fight together against us."

"Certainly…" the shadowy figure smiled. "Pandemonium, can you summon your Demons even now?"

"This entire Landscape seems to be some sort of pseudo dimension, but of course I can," Pandemonium waved his hand, a fracture in s.p.a.ce and time opened.

Crack, crack…!

The Venerable of Flames was watching in silence, but didn't stop him nor said he was cheating… After all, he told them to do whatever they wanted.

After the 24 Hours pa.s.ses, the rankings and whoever pa.s.ses the first trial will be decided.

Drake and Surtr immediately knew they couldn't kill Pandemonium if they didn't go personally to fight him, sending their friends would be suicide too.

As the Demon Gate opened and demons and demonic beasts started pouring out above the frozen lands that Pandemonium received, they learned this would quickly become a battle of attrition.

Who can last longer?

"Hah, I don't even need to wait…" Pandemonium decided to immediately put pressure on Drake and Surtr. "Go, destroy their territories, kill their friends, do as you please…"

Dozens of demons and demonic beasts quickly became hundreds. Pandemonium had endless demonic energy, his Demon Gate stayed open, as countless reinforcements poured out near endlessly.

"Maybe I won't even need to move much, but I still need to find a way to get Score Points…" the man shrouded in shadows sighed. "It seems we all start with 5000 Score Points, let me use them right away."

Just as he wished ten magic circles appeared in front of him, from within, ten Divine Monsters surged. They weren't just any creature; they were shaped after the Partic.i.p.ant's own powers and appearance.

They resembled beasts made of Shadows and Darkness, chimeric in appearance, with the body parts and heads of many creatures.

"{Abyssal Enchantment}"

With a mere thought, Shadows and Darkness combined as one, as Abyssal Energy was created, pouring over his summons and rapidly mutating them. Their bodies suddenly grew from five meters to fifteen meters, and their divine powers increased drastically.

"Better… Now go, target that fire dragon kid, he's the weakest after all…"

"ROOAARR!"

The monstrous Divine Abyssal Beasts rushed through the jungles where the mysterious man shrouded in shadows had appeared, moving rapidly towards Surtr's territory, the large forest.

As this happened, Drake looked around his surroundings with his family and friends. The only ones from his group that didn't come with him were Emerald, Tyrannus, and Amehia. He decided to let them join Surtr as he lacked manpower.

Having a Divine Dragon such as Emerald in his ranks would be much more beneficial for Surtr than for Drake, and the Dragon King acknowledged that fact very quickly. Because Emerald was not a Partic.i.p.ant, he could freely switch between the teams.

"So if I get the highest Score I get the best rewards…" Drake said. "And I can feel that Treasure's presence here… Don't tell me it is the reward for the highest score?"

As Drake pondered this, his family and friends explored the large golden castle where they had appeared, it resembled an Arabic palace, made completely out of gold, which brightly reflected the light of the sun atop the skies.

Ironically enough, Drake found himself not in the tundra where Pandemonium went, but in the harshest area for his main element, a scorching desert!

The Golden Palace-type castle where Drake and his entire team had arrived was surrounded by an empty town made of stone houses and surrounded by walls also made of gray-colored stone.

"A desert from all things…" Drake sighed.

"It looks like the Venerable is playing around with you," Miranda laughed.

"Judging by how things are going, we should act quickly," Benladann said. "Dear, tell us what we should do!"

"Yeah, Lord Drake, please say the word," Hector nodded.

"We're here to help as much as we can, we are not as strong as you but… We'll try our best," Rakasha said.

"Drake, if you need that Treasure to get stronger and increase the possibilities of defeating Pandemonium, then we must secure the highest Score at all costs," Ruby said.

"I know…" Drake nodded, his divine eyes a.n.a.lyzing his surroundings. "Pandemonium, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, has decided to abuse his powers to the limit and completely break the game's balance…"

Drake's hands glowed with divine power, as a large, blue-colored portal opened in front of his Territory, Demonic and Divine Beast pouring out.

"So let's do the same…"
