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

Chapter 1562 Passing The Trial

-----

The "last boss" of this damned Snow Forest, a giant mammoth of over twenty meters stood before me. Its body, covered on snow white fur, easily camouflaged within the snowstorm and the snow floor, making it resemble just a pile of white snow. Its gigantic and sharp tusks were finely covered by ice, and this monster exuded both great magic power and physical prowess.

The snowstorm became stronger as it raged further, the giant Frost Mammoth Tyrant glared at me with its sharp, crimson-colored eyes. The azure eyes within the sky were watching in silence. But I could notice something within them. Perhaps expectation?

"If you're going to get in the way of getting out of this forest, then I'll have to take you down."

The giant snow-white mammoth roared mightily, shaking the Snow Forest. It charged at me without any further delay. Each of its footsteps making the world around me tremble and shake. As strong as I had grown, I was still nothing compared to this behemoth.

The sense of being overwhelmed like this… I hadn't experienced it since I was a dragon pup. And even such sensations were rather short-lived, only lasting at most a month.

BAAAM!

The mammoth's giant foot almost crushed me to death, if it wasn't because I dashed to the left as quickly as I could. My frost hands swiftly turned into long spears, which I used to impale its leg and stab it a hundred times.

The beast bellowed, swiftly stepping forwards and then backwards. Aiming at me with its massive legs, and then pointing its trunk towards me, attempting to catch me with it. The tusk conjured a magic circle, firing a hundred ice projectiles at once.

"Dammit!"

I quickly escaped the explosive magic attacks, the giant mammoth's legs chasing me down, about to crush me like a rat. I quickly decided to transform my icy legs into a spring-like shape, and leaped off into the skies, the mammoth's tusks almost piercing me and impaling my body in midair.

FLASH!

I kicked the air by releasing the accumulated power within my body thanks to all the runes, as I landed above the mammoth's gigantic body. The beast didn't like that, its long trunk sniffing me around and trying to catch me, attempting to slam me down to the ground.

I jumped and evaded the attacks, as unleashed a barrage of piercing attacks towards the mammoth's head, its cranium was harder than anything I had ever hit before. Each strike made my entire body tremble and feel the pain, my arms were beginning to shatter.

"Come on… More, more power!"

I kept harnessing the Azure Ice Aura, which flowed through my body faster and faster as the snowstorm raged. The runes of the beasts activated all at once, interconnecting into a beautiful blue colored tattoo across my body. Their traits surfaced above my body, as I gained white fur and sharp fangs. My frost hands and arms regrowing their ice quicker.

"RAAAH!"

CRAAASH!

Another strike using my claw-shaped frost hands was enough to deal enough damage. The mammoth shook me off as hard as it could, but I didn't give in. I grasped its white fur and didn't let go. My legs transforming into the giant claws of the bear, grasping into its flesh tightly.

A rain of ice projectiles descended from above, I grit my teeth, using one of my arms as a huge barrier of ice, which slowly gained cracks as it took the projectiles. The other transformed into a long sword, I imbued all the Azure Essence left into it and pierced into the flesh and bone as hard as possible.

SLAAASH!

I kept stabbing deeper and deeper, the beast groaned in utter pain and agony, it rushed across the forest, destroying countless trees on its path, but I didn't let go of it. It grew slower and dumber, until it finally stopped running, bleeding all over, the monster collapsed on the ground, and died.

"Hahhh… Ugh…"

I felt like passing out myself, but I carved through the Mammoth's flesh and took out its core, it was gigantic. I took bites off it as I leaped from its body. Until it was completely eaten. Then, while in pain, I moved to take off its meat and eat it raw, piece by piece.

I continued eating in a trance between consciousness and unconsciousness. My power slowly growing further, and further, and further…

…

When I opened my eyes, I found myself outside the Snow Forest. The snowstorm had ended and surrounding me there were many gigantic figures.

As I lazily opened my eyes, I noticed they were incredibly tall, and looked strong. They were like Ice Giants, but several times their size. Some had long white beards, others looked younger.

And right in front of me, there was the looming azure eyes that have been watching over me all this time, now given a body and everything, no longer a blurry figure.

She was beautiful, blue skin, enormous arms and legs, huge shoulders, a chest so big it casted a shadow over my tiny body.

Her gorgeous face, her sharp azure eyes, her long, red hair made into many braids, and her clothes, made of giant beasts, she looked down on me with a look of both recognition and contempt.

"You've awoken, dragon of ice."

"Y-You're…?"

"I bet you've guessed already who I am, isn't it? I am Skadi, the Primordial Titan of Ice, mother of all Ice Giants."

"So the Frost Queen really sent me here?! I knew she was tricking me!"

"She was not tricking you, I told her to not tell you the details, but she did tell you that she was doing something similar to what I made her do, isn't it?"

"Ah, yes… I guess I should have seen something like this coming…"

"Enough with that attitude. You've passed the Trial, dragon of ice… Or well, should I call you Drake, the Ice Titan?"

"Ice… Titan? Me?!" I asked.

"Look at yourself and what you've become." She smiled. "She already gave you the bloodline, but as a dragon, it would be impossible to awaken it… Unless I allowed you to. But I would not handle things for free. A trial had to be done, and you passed it."

And then I noticed, I was indeed an Ice Titan. My body was several times larger than my human shape. I had dark blue skin, with white tattoos spread across my body.

Long silvery-white hair cascaded below my head, all the way down my shoulders. And my hands, well, they were utterly gigantic.

Even then, they still felt even larger than me…

"So that's why I couldn't be a dragon here… And why I became a human?"

"Your soul had to be stripped bare of all things so I could properly let you awaken the bloodline. It is now flowing through both your body and your soul. And as a result, you've also gained access to the Titan Records."

"That's… insane! So this ice power I learned before, can I use it now too?"

"Yes, that's called Azure Ice Materialization, the power to become ice itself. You do have a large quantity of powers already, but this one might become quite useful."

"Thank you, Skadi… But what now?"

"What do you mean what now? We celebrate! Hahaha! Bring the ale!"

Skadi and the titans laughed merrily, bringing forth giant roasted beasts and tons of beer.
