Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 478: I Think Youre Being Haunted By A Soul

Chapter 478: I Think You're Being Haunted By A Soul

-----

Our Little Ca.s.sim had found and helped Shouta feel better with himself. Now that I've seen him, he really is a young kid, he shouldn't be older than 14 or 15… appearance-wise at least, and he also looks quite feminine due to his bloodline…

Who would even dare hit such a young kid? Well, this idiot right here.

Zephyr Jade Snake, the man that bullied Shouta and was killed by the kid accidentally, because Shouta was quite literally about to die by his abusive hands.

Seriously, what is wrong with kids nowadays? f.u.c.ked up motherf.u.c.ker, couldn't you calm down your urge to be an a.s.shole? You were literally hitting someone from a royal family.

In fact, had he not gotten himself killed, s.h.i.t might have escalated even worse and both sects would have ended cutting ties anyways. There was no way that the Sect Master and his mother would have let this motherf.u.c.ker get away with it.

I learned all of this because I just read his mind.

Indeed, I had approached Shouta just now.

"Hey, I think you're being haunted by the soul of Zephyr." I said.

"EH?!" he cried.

"W-What? Is that true? I heard you were a Death Mage… is this real, Drake-sama?" asked Kokoro.

"Yes! He is indeed a wielder of death magic, ice magic, and wind magic… a triple caster of three elements. A genius amongst geniuses! If he says he can see the soul, it is the truth!" said Mikohime.

"Indeed… He's been haunting you all this time. This is probably why you have been having nightmares, growing sickly with fevers, and more. Being Haunted means being cursed, the one you killed cursed you through his death and has been making your life miserably since then." I said.

"I-Is that… so? I deserve it though… I-I did something very awful…" cried Shouta.

"Not at all, you don't deserve it, the guy you killed was a total a.s.shole, the worst there are. If you hadn't killed him on the spot, he would have ended up killing you by how much of a beating you were taking." I said.

"D-Drake-sama, what are you talking about?" asked Kokoro.

"Drake… How do you know about Zephyr?" asked Mikohime.

"Drake can read the memories of the souls he catches." Said Miranda.

"Yeah! He's amazing at it. He probably learned the whole story after checking Zephyr's soul." Said Benladann.

"I did! I just grabbed him while you were not looking. Well n.o.body can see souls unless you're a spiritualist or a death mage." I said.

"I-I have spirits yet I cannot see them…" sighed Mikohime.

"That's because your spirit power comes from a bloodline that is inherited from unique skills from your ancestor. Therefore, you've never truly become an actual spiritualist." I said.

"Eh?! I didn't know of such intricacy! How could you tell?" asked Mikohime.

"By just a.n.a.lyzing you, I have my ways." I said rather confidently.

Anyways, the soul was right in my hands.

The guy had grown older and looked horrible, not at all how he used to appear, and he was yelling at me, groaning, struggling, and trying to slash me with his claws.

"Let me gooooo! Let me go, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I am going to f.u.c.king kill you! I AM GOING TO f.u.c.kING KILL EVERYONEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"Ugh, shut the f.u.c.k up." I sighed, waved my hand and used a Death Magic spell Soul Sealing to seal his soul tightly into a sphere. He quickly became the size of a tiny orb, and would remain like that for an eternity unless I were to do something else.

Ahh, peace.

"He was really a handful, screaming like an insane man. There's no way someone would feel like this after dying, he was a nutjob from the get-go." I said.

"Zephyr did indeed have very… s.a.d.i.s.tic tendencies…" sighed Mikohime.

"Shouta! W-What did that kid do to you? You never actually told me the full story…" said Kokoro.

"He… He…" muttered Shouta.

"You don't have to recall it." I said, petting his head.

We decided to have a meeting with only these girls and my crew. Ca.s.sim went with Shouta and the other kids to play. He was in dire need of friends to socialize with. Ruby, Noirenn, and Flayr would be able to help.

"I will tell you what I saw…" I said.

Kokoro and Mikohime looked at me while swallowing saliva.

"Basically, while you were not looking, the young Shouta escaped the party because he was being constantly hara.s.sed by the glares of everyone. Zephyr had also already begun to laugh at him and point his finger to him all the time… You did an horrendous job at never realizing it, or were you simply pretending? Both of you were present and close by." I said.

"I… Well, I pretended I didn't hear anything. Shouta has been abused like this before, but I thought he was strong-willed, that he didn't care… I never believed that he… he was in so much pain." Sighed Kokoro.

"Well you're a horrendous mother, so you better make up for it. I wouldn't find it unrealistic, nor would it surprise me if Shouta grew to hate you. You need to grow a backbone! Protect him! He's your child, he literally came out of your womb, woman." I said.

"Y-Yes! I know! I am sorry! I will amend it! I promise!" cried Kokoro as she kneeled on the ground.

"Don't kneel, nor promise me things, you'll do it, and I will see you doing it, that's all." I sighed.

"I… I didn't see. Honestly, I was very busy with the other sect elders that spoke to me constantly, many old men were flirting with me, it was honestly disgusting, but I had to bear it for business purposes." Sighed Mikohime.

"I see, so that's what happened, nonetheless, you two better apologize to him for not being there for the boy… This wouldn't have happened if someone was there to protect him. I know that he's getting older and he should also grow his own backbone, but without being properly taught, he'll only grow more weak-minded." I said.
