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

Chapter 2160: The Power Of The Dragon King

-----

"{Limitless Path}!"

Our blades were about to clash, ripples in space appearing everywhere, flames and light erupting and hitting each other...

"{Heavenly Dragon Ascension}!"

I swung my great sword upwards, as my Sword Aura erupted, resembling a giant Shenlong dragon with white scales roaring, ascending into the heavens.

At the same time, Takigawa’s technique manifested fully, turning the skies both red and black, as his back seemed to manifest an eclipse.

CLAAASH!

And then our techniques clashed, finally, creating a massive shockwave and then several ripples through space, before we continued clashing, our techniques coming one after another.

"UUOOOOHHH!"

"HAAAAAHHH!"

We roared together, my sword rapidly beginning to cover his body with more and more wounds, slicing wounds that made him bleed everywhere.

His body was surprisingly incredibly tough, however.

But that didn’t matter.

"{Unique Skill: Heavenly Steps}"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

I quickly moved at his own speed, surprising him, as I appeared behind him, my sword swinging down at his back with all my strength possible and slashing through it.

"It’s over!"

"Unghh?! N-No...! NOOO!"

However, he somehow forced his own body to spin around in time, both of his swords and claws greeting my blade, as I saw his aura push back at me, giant tiger maws trying to bite through me again, however, they shattered their fangs as they tried to pierce through my combined armor.

"Is this all you’ve got, Samurai!?"

"Not yet...! Not... yet!"

He leaped towards me, his form suddenly shifting between his transformation and his previous human form... was he exhausted out of energy?

And yet, his eyes blazed with such conviction.

Whatever man that Oda Nobunaga is... to have such loyal and powerful men by his side... I am a little jealous of him.

"{Gyakuryū no shippū: sou: Slipstream Reversal: Twin Fade}!"

Time decelerated, as he suddenly became but a mere blur, moving faster, and faster...

And faster.

FLASH!

Until he appeared in front of me, his swords moving upwards, a twin slash of incredible technique, dexterousness, and mastery.

SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

"UGH?!"

My armor suddenly gained cracks and crumbled down, as I was slashed twice, my body exploding into burning flames, as I felt part of my own body crumbling into ashes.

Incredible...

...

But amidst these flames, I saw the light of my own Limitless Path evolving.

I channeled my Ascendancy Law Ring, and its power unified together with my blade.

Celestia changed...

The power of Eternal Soul manifested.

Muramasa appeared.

"{Nine Crying Heavens And Nine Joyful Hells}"

"H-Huh?"

And at that moment, the fire was cleared, and eternal light shone brightly everywhere.

I channeled this power through my other half, as Umbral also received this light right into his face.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Eighteen slashing blows hit Takigawa Kazumasu, some of them cleaving holes through his body.

His blood splattered everywhere, as his soldiers, struggling against my allies, looked at their general in awe and horror.

"T-Takigawa-samaaaaa!"

They screamed in disbelief and despair, as he fell to the sands below, collapsing into a puddle of his own blood.

"So this is... the power... of the Dragon King..."

I looked down at him from above, sighing.

"Things could have been different; we didn’t have to fight to the death."

"You’re... too merciful... let this man... have his warrior’s death... there’s nothing that brings me more joy than to die for my Lord..."

"..."

And then, Takigawa Kazumasu closed his eyes, dying with a smile, as he returned to his original human form, the cursed seals having run out of life force to drain...

What a formidable foe... he was certainly at the level of Venerables.

"Your Lord is dead! You now have two options, stay and die with him, or surrender right now and become my prisoners! Don’t worry, I can guarantee your lives."

Only a few hesitated, but the majority had their resolve already...

They roared, fighting back against my friends, pushing everyone back as they furiously tried to fight back and avenge their general.

I see, what a bunch of fools you’ve brought along, Takigawa Kazumasu...

They must have really loved you.

"GAAAAHHHHHH!"

Umbral’s scream echoed through the heavens, as I unleashed the same technique through both of my bodies, surprising him with a deadly wave of slashes, covering his gigantic body.

"Y-YOU BASTARD!"

He roared furiously, opening his jaws and releasing destructive black breath attacks at me, which I received with my own breath attack.

A beam of darkness and light clashed against one another, creating ripples in the sky and then a massive explosion.

BOOOMMM!!!

This war had yet to be over... Better offer support to Alma’s side, they shouldn’t underestimate Oberon.

RUMBLE!

Drake’s family clashed against both Umbral’s and Takigawa’s armies combined, giant draconic beasts clawing down at them, while firing beams of black flames and deadly poisonous miasma everywhere.

At the same time, Zipangu’s soldiers carried powerful rifles and cannons, which grew larger and strangely "alive" possessed by Yokai Spirits and turning into Cursed Cannons and Rifles possessing immense power.

This, coupled with the soldiers transforming into Yokai, and then further evolved thanks to Takigawa’s Ability, which still lasted even after he died a few seconds ago, made them incredibly formidable.

Drake’s family and friends had to go all-out to manage to overcome this immense challenge, which was perhaps at the same level as Pandemonium’s army of deadly strong demons, but with none of their weaknesses... well, almost.

"{Draconic Radiance}!"

Benladra had unleashed her Archetype’s power, as the Dawnscale Oracle unleashed beams of bright light everywhere, which resembled roaring, serpentine dragons.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Whenever the beams hit an area, an explosion of light erupted, burning both Umbral’s monsters and the Zipangu soldiers, and managing to weaken or outright kill several dozen at a time.

"DIE!!!"

However, the soldiers were the most persistent, surrounding Benladra from every angle and attacking her with claws and rifles, cursed bullets bombarding her body constantly.

"RAAAAH!"

As a response, Benladra protected herself with her Archetype’s powerful shield, while roaring and releasing a shockwave of bright cosmic starlight, burning her foes before wielding her spear, fusing it with her Archetype’s staff and slashing through them with the sharp blade of her weapon!

SLAAASH!
