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

Chapter 2229: Triton’s Hidden Power

-----

"Ame... Amethyst... you... ok?"

Amethyst glanced at the ethereal being before her. It was none other than Triton in his True Form, his Soul Body and True Soul fused into one.

"Triton! It’s really you?!" Amethyst asked in surprise.

"Yes..." Triton nodded. "Me can talk now... for a bit... not long enough... form will disappear... will become weak... finish him quickly, together!"

"Okay, I get it...!" Amethyst nodded as she saw golden sands wrapping her body, healing her wounds, Jord’s doing.

"I’m here as well. We’re a team of three, let’s do this!" Jord said.

"Ok!" Amethyst nodded.

"DAMN WORMS!"

The Mutated Esper rushed down, his aura surging with immense power and pressure as he attacked both of them at the same time. His weapons were formidable, tough, and sharp, even managing to tear through Triton’s body. So he and Amethyst worked together to avoid his blows and at the same time fly around him.

All the sparring sessions they had done actually helped them learn each other’s patterns and techniques and how they usually fought, helping them coordinate much better. Their evasive maneuvers deeply frustrated the Mutated Esper, as his power surged from his body, resembling tentacles made of black psychic energy.

"COME HERE AND FACE ME!"

He lost his temper, attacking everywhere without much dexterity or precision... Triton and Amethyst nodded at each other, charging against the monster and striking him down together. Her sword and his blazing soul fists sliced and punched through his body repeatedly, overpowering his psychic aura with their combined divine aura.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

"Uuuuaaaggh?! Stooop!"

The Mutated Esper groaned in agony as his body was constantly pressured. His armor started to tear apart, revealing his muscles and flesh inside, which Jord targeted, leaping out of Amethyst’s body and turning into a sharp golden sword, the same weapon she could make her wield.

CLAAASH!

"UGH?!"

The Mutated Esper was caught off-guard, the sword piercing his heart but still not entirely stopping him, only for the sword to glow brightly, releasing holy light and burning him from the inside.

"T-THIS CAN’T...! IT CANNOT BEEEEE!"

BOOOMMM!

A massive explosion erupted as Jord managed to retrieve her true body, the orb, in time. Both dragons saw the giant thing explode into golden flames...

"Is it... over?" Triton asked.

"Yeah... I... Ugh?!" Amethyst gasped.

TRUUUM!

A shockwave of dark psychic power surged from within the black smoke as both suddenly felt their entire bodies become completely paralyzed.

The figure of the Mutated Esper emerged amidst the smoke, glaring at them with his glowing red eyes...

Half of his body was gone, burnt and falling apart...

But the other half was barely clinging to life, his psychic powers fluctuating constantly, resembling countless tentacles.

"Y-YOUU...! YOU DAMN...! BAS... BASTARDS...! NEW ORDER...! THIS WORLD... IT WILL KNOW ITS NEW RULER... ME...! MEEEE!"

Filled with his megalomaniac obsession with conquest, the Mutated Esper roared ferociously, his powers intensifying as Amethyst and Triton felt truly helpless...

"..."

Drake watched the scene, gritting his teeth. He wanted to do something, but he also knew that it was only in these moments, when they were pushed to near death, that they would awaken their true potential.

It was a gamble.

The question was, was Drake willing to take it?

"NNGAAAAHHH!"

Triton roared monstrously, his True Soul surging amidst the mix of it and his Soul Body, suddenly turning deep crimson, azure, and purple, glowing with bright sparkles.

"RAAAHHHHH!"

Something strange happened. Triton separated his two souls, escaping from his Soul Body, resembling a small sea dragon form but made of crimson and purple ethereal soul energies instead...

And also...

FLAAASH!

Pure magic.

"W-What the hell is that?!"

Amethyst was shocked. She saw the entire thing with her eyes wide open.

It was as if the yolk had suddenly separated from the egg white, and the yolk was what Triton was right now...

Yes, because he also knew of his true origins.

His True Soul was not born like other souls either. It was made out of his mother’s Blood and Magic Power, her raw Mana.

This made it incredibly unique too, and Drake tried his best to train that, but it seemed fruitless, as if there was nothing really there.

But there was!

In the last attempt for Triton to escape the psychic’s grasp, he did it...

He literally slid out of his own Soul Body, which was still there, struggling to free itself.

It was as if he was two in one?

"RAAAHHHH!"

With no time to think, Triton roared as a sonic wave of purple magic power surged from his body, hitting the psychic and sending the monster flying away!

BOOOM!

And then he rushed to free Amethyst and his own Soul Body, which coated Amethyst in an armor of azure color, made of sea dragon scales.

"The hell is going on, Triton?! Is this really you?"

"I don’t even know what’s going on exactly, but it’s like I have endless magic power now!"

"Eh?!"

Indeed, Drake smiled with fascination.

"The boy did it!"

Triton had achieved his second transformation, separating his True Soul from his Soul Body after they fused and embodying only what his power gave him.

Therefore, becoming a being of pure Magic.

What’s more, he found out his Soul Body was still his own body, and he could transform it into Soul Gear, fusing the already equipped sets of Soul Gear within it to make an even tougher armor to protect the wounded Amethyst.

"YOU...! WHEN WILL YOU GIVE UP!?"

The Mutated Esper rushed back toward them as Triton and Amethyst nodded, roaring back and opening their jaws, greeting the wounded Mutated Esper with a double breath attack!

TRUUUM!

"W-Wha...?!"

The monster tried to escape, but he was too weakened, too exhausted from all the damage he had received, and ended up unable to escape his fate.

Both breath attacks, beams of bright purple and golden light, pierced through his body, burning him and then...

"Uuuaaaagghhhhh!"

Disintegrating him!

BOOOMMM!!!

A massive explosion reverberated through the skies as the last of the four Mutated Espers perished through the insane efforts of Drake’s newest disciples.

"Well done... You make your master proud."
