Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

-----

"There was also Alma's brother that we helped her rescue, Callon," I said. "Which the bastard of Greenwood had turned into a half-machine monster, but we managed to help him recover and rejoin his sister… and then there were two twins, Elma and Elena, they had Psychic Powers which connected together. I believe they were the first Psychics we ever saw."

"Yeah they were!" Miranda nodded. "Damn she had quite the party arranged, huh? It has been years since we last saw them though, I wonder how they're doing? You didn't accompany them with a slime?"

"I did for some time, but the slime eventually ran out of energy and died," I sighed. "Back then my Slimes were much weaker than they are now… so I lost contact with them after a couple of months, but I know where they live, so it won't be hard to find them."

"Honestly, I've never heard of them before, they live in Svartalfheim from all places?" Charlotte asked. "Why there and not elsewhere?"

"I believe they live in the middle of a desert," I said. "So they hide from Greenwood in the most unlikely of places so he wouldn't find them so easily."

"Ah, makes sense I suppose…" Charlotte nodded. "Svartalfheim does have a lot of deserts and dunes, and also dry steppes and savannas even… it's a very arid place, the most arid in the world after Muspelheim."

"You don't have forests?" asked Yuki, curious about that continent.

"We do, we do, there's zones close to other continents that are different, there's a large chunk of the land with forests and better land, that's where my home is…" Charlotte said. "It's to the southwest, the path that leads to Vanaheim, it's the Vanagate Kingdom, as you heard, they act as a gate to the continent… regulating merchants, products, and more. They also were the ones that built the Giant Transcontinental Bridge that connects Svartalfheim with Vanaheim."

"There's such a thing?!" Yuki gasped. "That's amazing though… Your family's pretty great, Charlotte! Why did you even run away?"

"Ugh… A lot of things!" Charlotte said. "I would rather not discuss them for now though… You just wouldn't get it I guess."

"Eh, leave her be Yuki," I said. "She needs her personal space and her own time after all."

"Sure, sure…" Yuki nodded. "Sorry."

There was also another thing I wanted to check from Svartalfheim though, and those were the Earth Dragons and Dark Dragons

The last time I talked with them was a while ago in their damned trial, but there I learned that many of them were still alive, roaming that continent's deserts.

I want to find them and ask for their help in donating their blood to me, so I can gain the full power of the Earth Dragons and Dark Dragons.

And there's also someone with incredible potential there, which I wanted to meet as well.

A young, unruly, and yet incredibly talented female dragon, Amethyst.

For what's coming in the future, I need to make sure they will be strong enough to withstand it.

And while we're there, we'll probably take down any Zipangu bastard that gets in the way, if they ever do.

But above all, I want to take Amethyst as a disciple.

The thing is, where the hell is she? It won't be easy to find her unless…

Well, unless I ask her own mother, that's it.

"Alright, I'll go meditate for now, if you need anything just ask one of my slimes."

I walked inside the castle-like interior of the ship, sitting inside of our room cross-legged and concentrating on my soul on the Draconic Records.

FLUOSH!

As I chose, I appeared in the desertic lands of the Earth Dragons, which was quite populous, they were there, dancing, talking, playing, hunting Soul Beasts, and so on.

As I appeared there, the majority of the nearby Earth Dragons, mostly their souls as they were old ones that died a while ago, glanced at my direction.

"Is that…?"

"Wait, who's that guy?"

"I don't know? Never seen him before!"

"He's way too long…"

"Who the hell are you?"

They didn't quite recognize this form after all, a long serpentine Chinese dragon is never something they were going to ever see in nature within Yggdrasil's lands.

"I guess this form isn't quite well known, huh? I'm Drake, the Dragon King! Long time no see, everyone."

"Drake?!"

As they were shocked, I quickly turned into my Divine Ice Dragon form, which they recognized instantly, running to my side.

"It's you!"

"What do you need buddy?"

"Wait how did you do that trick? Can you show us again?"

"That's amazing."

They were naturally shocked beyond belief, but I politely asked them to lead me to their Queen, Jotun.

They obeyed, as they led me through their large stone-made city, and that's where I saw her, Jotun was sure among the biggest primordial dragon mothers out there.

"Hohoh, well, well, look who has come back to us! What do you need, dear King?"

She was a gigantic turtle-like dragon of several hundreds of meters of height…

"Aunt Jotun, I came here to ask you for the location of my brothers, the Earth Dragons… and of Amethyst as well, I plan to turn that child into my disciple."

"Hmmmm…? Interesting! I see… I see…! Very interesting what you've got there, a wonderful idea if anything." Jotun said. "So you want to help my little Amethyst grow up big and strong? You do know she's older than you, right?"

"…I know," I nodded. "But back then when I fought her, it didn't seem to be the case. Dragons age much slower, right? I am different because I am a Reincarnated Soul."

"…That's right, we do age slowly, that also includes our minds," Jotun said. "However, those that reincarnate do age much faster mentally… She's strong, but… indeed, I've felt that she has been lost in her path for quite a while, and right now, there's a lot of things going on around the world. Two worlds are slowly merging into our own because of the catastrophe that happened when you fought Chaos."

"I know, and I intend to take full responsibility," I said. "I will fix this problem… and stop Oberon, as I am well aware he's aiming for something, once Fate fully shatters, whatever he's planning will be unfolded. And I cannot let him do that."

"Hmph, well said…" nodded Jotun. "You have our full support, Drake, you earned it long ago. Here."
