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

Chapter 2157: Confrontation Between Armies!

-----

I see, I understand now.

It completely makes sense, even more when I glanced at the two armies beneath him.

One of them was a monstrous army composed of giant draconic beasts made of black crystals, black sand, and miasma and shadows.

And the other was a human army, wearing samurai armor, carrying giant cannons and rifles, naginata, katana, and more.

And leading them was a tall human, well, as tall as humans could get, around three meters of height, almost equal to an Ice Giant.

Indeed, the humans from Zipangu were certainly built differently...

He had a strong presence, with long red hair tied into a long ponytail, wearing blue and black colored samurai armor, and he possessed big, glowing blue eyes.

He carried two sheathed swords, some katana of some kind, I was never well versed in these things, but I think there’s several types of Japanese swords.

Nonetheless, this guy was definitely another of Oda Nobunaga’s Generals.

"Umbral...!" Amethyst groaned, gritting her sharp teeth. "There you are...! You’ve finally showed your filthy face!"

"Calm down," I said, patting her shoulders. "Do not let your rage consume you, we talked about this already, Amethyst!"

"I... I know..." she sighed, looking down in annoyance.

FLUOSH!𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Her Aura erupted with immense force, as she faced Umbral, and the Demon King of Envy glared down at her, smiling.

"Oh, there you are...! I couldn’t sense your presence before, were you hiding inside of that bastard’s divine realm, child? Hahaha! How afraid were you?!" Umbral laughed. "Maybe I shouldn’t even bother? Perhaps my creations can take you down easily..."

"UMBRAL! I’LL KILL YOU WITH MY TWO HANDS!" Amethyst roared furiously.

"How cute," Umbral licked his fangs, as if savoring his victory already. "I can’t wait to tear you to shreds, and then, I’ll make some great Soul Gear out of your pieces."

"GRRRRHHH...!" Amethyst’s eyes spiraled, turning red.

Anger took over, the bastard was good with words, he could easily manipulate her to forget everything I’ve taught her and almost leap to fight him on her own.

However...

She didn’t.

"..."

She closed her eyes, as Jord’s sand wrapped around her draconic body, forming a regal golden armor, and then she looked at Umbral with a composed expression.

I see, so she did learn at the end.

"Oh? What’s... what’s that power?" Umbral raised an eyebrow. "How interesting! Is this something that the Orb could do?! Mine can’t do that! I want it!"

There was Jord’s second half inside of his body, somewhere, and through her, he also attained even more power, summoning black, miasmic sands he could control at will to easily create armies of demonic familiars.

"How amusing! Hey, Umbral, you didn’t tell me there would be more fighters!" the samurai spoke, glaring at us and then at Oberon’s army, which had stopped marching at us, he probably was a little surprised they were here too. "Were you not aware of this? or were you trying to trick us into walking into your trap?"

"Not at all, I had no idea there would be so many pests here..." Umbral said. "It doesn’t matter anyway, right? We can crush them all."

"Your confidence is worrying, friend..." sighed the samurai. "But... I think that’s him, right? Hey, you! Are you the Dragon known as Dorake, the Dragon King?!"

The human stepped forward, suddenly pointing one of his swords at me.

"Dorake?" I asked. "I am Drake, learn how to pronounce it better... So you came here to fight me? For what reason do you desire to fight me?"

"I am one of my Lord Oda Nobunaga’s Five Great Generals, Takigawa Kazumasu!" he roared, releasing his powerful Aura of Heaven and Earth Essence, resembling a faint humanoid figure wielding a pair of blazing katanas behind him. "You are the one that had slain both Katsuie-kun and Hanna-san, right? My Lord wants your head, barbarian! I have come here to slay you."

"I see, then I will give you one chance," I said, stepping forward, holding Celestia with my right hand. "Leave this very moment, and I will spare you and your army. I don’t want to kill you, nor the people with you. I will show you this much mercy only once."

"Hah!" Takigawa smiled confidently, unsheathing his other sword. "Spare me your kindness! I need no mercy from you! My Lord’s orders are absolute. I will take your head back home!"

"Then you will die," I said. "And you will also learn that I am not a being whom you can simply kill by beheading, swordsman."

"Interesting!" Takigawa smiled, ready to fight. "I will take him on, Umbral! You can do whatever you want with the rest!"

"Hah! That won’t be necessary, they can simply be eaten by my beasts or killed by your little soldiers," Umbral said, his aura fluctuating and growing stronger. "Amethyst! Will you come to me, or should I come to you?!"

I see, their plan is to separate us. Umbral knows that he doesn’t have a good chance of winning if we fight him together, so he wants to defeat Amethyst when she’s fighting him alone, devour her and gaining her powers, and then confront me.

He probably calculated in his stupid plan that I would become consumed by grief and despair, so I would be easier to defeat...

Fucking idiot.

I’m glad he doesn’t even know what I can do.

FLUOSH!

My draconic body quickly divided into two halves, both possessing 50% of my stats.

Yeah, this was more than enough.

"He divided?!" Takigawa asked. "Is this an illusion?! You damned beast! You think I’ll fall for that?!"

"Hahahaha!" I laughed with both of my bodies. "No, bastard, it’s not a damn illusion. Now are we fighting or what?!"

"CHARGE!" Takigawa roared.

"Hmph, go," Umbral pointed his claws forward, his army of monsters moved forward.

Both of these allied armies rushed towards the canyon where we were standing over... At the same time, Oberon’s voice echoed from behind us.

"Alma! I finally found you, and now I see this entire mess... Drake! It had to be you! Why?! Just why do you keep popping up everywhere I go now?! This mission was specifically designed to recapture the test subjects, and yet you appear?!" the voice of an angered old man echoed.

"Brother..." Root sighed.

"Hello jackass, sporting a new body?" Alma asked angrily, floating in midair, her white and silver colored Mana suddenly gaining a pink color, transforming into the shape of a pair of butterfly wings behind her back. "I’m sporting some new powers myself, wanna take a test?"

"Alma..." Oberon’s voice echoed angrily.
