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

—–

I pushed back Benladann and Miranda, and their Archetype too as the Snowveil Justicar’s thin armor suddenly shattered into pieces. At that point, most would have believed the duel was over. Archetypes seem to be intangible beings, but apparently, they can harm each other like this.

However, the duel was not over, I knew that by pushing them this far, something within that Archetype would awaken, that thing I saw through the whole ritual of awakening…

Indeed…

Crack, crack…!

CRASH!

When the armor shattered, another entity started to emerge from within, black shadows surging, rapidly wrapping around Benladann and Miranda’s bodies, both were slightly confused, but they let the shadows wrap them, their transformation suddenly taking a completely different direction.

“T-This is…?!” Benladann was perplexed.

“What sort of power is this?” Miranda asked.

“Relax, this is your Archetype’s true power!” I said. “Just embrace it.”

And then, the Snowveil Justicar’s other half manifested, as both girls closed their eyes and let the Archetype’s shadows completely combine with them.

From the thin and delicate appearance of the first form, the second form manifested, with a big and bulky physique, spikes and black fur, but still very visible looking like a huge, sentient armor-like entity.

Its head resembled a furious bear or wolf-like black beast, with pointy ears, horns, and glowing red eyes, its arms were the largest part, bigger and more muscular than any Ice Giant or Fire Giant I’ve ever seen.

And its claws, the largest and most intimidating part of the Archetype, were sharp and enormous, fixe long claws within each paw-like metallic glove, all of them glowing with silver steel light, black shadows, and an ominous crimson.

“I feel like I can do anything now!”

“RAAAAHHH!”

While Benladann seemed empowered, Miranda seemed to have lost her mind, roaring at me like a beast and then, both girls, who had fused earlier, charged towards me with all their strength, leaving ripples in the floor.

RUMBLE!

The gigantic metallic beast appeared in front of me, its glowing claws rushing down, as they instinctively used the Archetype’s Weapon, the Talons of Abyssal Wrath: Desperitia.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

“Ugh?!”

The power was much more than I imagined, three blows was all it took to send me flying away, and each blow seemed to carry the damage the Archetype had taken before breaking down and evolving into its second form.

“Impressive…! That level of power is definitely Venerable Level, without needing any of my buffs or anything sort of other help…!”

I was amazed and happy! My Benladann and Miranda had finally reached the true Venerable Rank Realm on their own, Archetypes were the true bridge that could help everyone finally get to this level, where they will be able to help much better and take on the foes we’ll have to fight.

“R-Really?! Ugh, I want to fight more though!”

“I’M GOING TO TEAR YOU TO SHREDS!”

Benladann was still mostly conscious, although she was being driven by some an endless thirst for destruction, meanwhile, Miranda had completely lost her mind.

I believe the reason was simple, the first half of this Archetype embodies Benladann, and the second half embodies Miranda.

Hence, once the Beast Form triggers, Miranda’s power is enhanced and so her primal instincts…

A double-edged sword for sure, but one worth having.

“Come! I’ll satiate your bloodlust, Miranda!”

“GRUUAAAHHH!”

My beastly wife roared, rushing towards me as their claws rapidly overwhelmed me from every angle, each strike shattering my Archetype armor a little bit, even when Dragoon Knight was at max level!

I couldn’t believe it, but this Archetype they developed had quite the amazing potential! Perhaps every awakened Archetype is stronger than its predecessor?

Whatever the case…

“HAAAH!”

I couldn’t let them push me around too much, it would look bad, right?

I swung the Dragoon Knight’s Spear, while defending myself with the shield.

I constantly shielded myself from the destructive claws, pushing me back with each blow, but allowing me to gain momentum as I stepped forward, using my spear to unleash several piercing strikes at once.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

At the same time, the beast used its claws, growing stronger with each blow it took, it was definitely a powerful ability… one that could be used against even stronger foes.

However, that was all it had, the only ability it could wield… it seemed unable to use the first Skill in this form.

So it seems that until they learn to master this Archetype, each Skill is locked to their own forms.

Effectively, it is as if this Archetype was two in one, interestingly enough.

Just like Benladann and Miranda are technically still a single being, and yet very different.

“{VENGEFUL FANG}!”

They suddenly roared, leaping towards me and pushing me down, their metallic jaws opened, rushing down and attempting to tear apart a piece out of my body, their sharp bite crushing through my armor until…

“ROOOOAAARRR!”

RUMBLE!

A powerful draconic roar echoed, as a shockwave sent them flying away, shattering their armor into countless tiny pieces, and forcing the Archetype’s power to go into cooldown.

That was the [Celestial Dragon Roar] at full power.

“Ugh, my head…” Miranda groaned. “W-What the hell was that? It felt blurry and confusing.”

“You two were able to channel the Archetype’s power really well,” I said with a nod. “However, you still got a long way to go… However, I have to admit it, the Snowveil Justicar is a powerful one, it might surpass mine if it can reach its complete mastery.”

“Is that so…” Benladann looked like she was thinking about it for a while. “It was amazing… so this is our new power, Drake?”

“Yeah! It is yours, awakened from your own heart,” I nodded. “Although I can also channel he Archetype’s power through our bond, pretty handy right?”

“Sounds a little too handy to me…” Miranda said, glaring at me while squinting her eyes. “But well, whatever… it’s good.”

“Well! Isn’t it obvious that he would have access to it? He’s the one that granted us the power to begin with,” Benladann said with a gentle smile. “Anyway, shall we spar a little more? I think we can summon it again!”

“Already?” I wondered, as I saw the Snowveil Justicar’s first form emerging above the girls, their Auras fluctuating.

“Interesting, its first half is already ready to go? So in between halves, they regenerate? That’s amazing,” I nodded. “Very well, let’s spar for a while to kill time! I want you to at least master the usage of the skills and weapons as much as possible! Also, Miranda, your mind seems to get taken over by the second form, we’ll be correcting that, alright? You need to learn to be in control, not to let the Archetype control you.”

“I understand… I’ll do my best,” Miranda nodded.

CLAAASH!

We rushed against one another, as we started sparring once more. My spear clashing against their staff-rapier, ice magic against powerful piercing strikes and draconic might, the battle intensified the more they managed to master and learn the usage of their power, and also to get used to it.
