Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System - Chapter 1068: Aberrant Abominations

Red sensed yet another dying, but she only smiled.

"I see, so my blood can do that and that… Huh, how interesting. It seems that those with so much strong devotion can even mutate into such a monstrous form that enhances their power!"

She analyzed everything with a smile.

"However, that poison was certainly very powerful…"

Yuki's poison surprised her more than anything, the power Yuki had harbored within her poisons had only enhanced and grew wider as she created that divinity after ascending. Such poison's effects enhanced as more time passed.

In the ten-minute mark, the poison would get worse, as its effects would be multiplied by the amount of times the target was hit with a poison attack. The more done, the more accumulated damage the target would receive after ten minutes…

It was risky, ten minutes was a lot of time in the middle of a fast-paced battle but letting herself getting beaten around did work at the end, and that trap that only restrained Fiesta for like half a minute did the trick.

"What an interesting group of misfits do you have, Drake… However, this is far from over. In fact, it is just the beginning…"

Red looked at Ruby, as the Ritual Runes began overflowing with red light, divine power started flowing everywhere, the ritual was starting…

"Let me give you a little gift, lizard… Enjoy the Blood Feast. Divine Blood Magic: [Abyssal Blood Aberration Curse]!"

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, the hundreds of Vampires that kept coming after Drake and company glowed with a strange red aura, as if some sort of spell was conjured over them…

(Drake's POV)

As Yuki, Larzak, Hector, and Kraxka took down two big shots, I wasn't just supporting everyone with magic while doing nothing myself. In fact, I was fighting the most foes than everybody else!

The only one checking on my back was Rakasha, who was unleashing devastating hammer blows at the dozen of Vampires swarming us. We thought at the beginning that they were only a few, but they suddenly continued coming and coming, almost endlessly!

I suddenly realized they were perhaps hundreds of Vampires, they were being controlled as puppets, but most of them were insane anyways. The more I fought, the more concerned I got about this whole thing.

Something really weird was happening here.

The never-ending vampires, and the domain itself, the entire formation. Red was trying to buy time. She was actually just trying to buy time to finish the ritual.

But where were these vampires coming from?

"RAAAAH! I'll feast on dragon's blood today!"

"Those scales might be tough, but our spirit is stronger!"

"DIE!!!"

A group of five Vampires rushed towards me. They were merely Rank 7 trash though, I only gave them a glance as manipulated my Holy Light Divinity and combined it with Ice, shooting five spears made of Holy Ice against them.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"GRAARGGH!"

Four of them died, exploding into pieces. Wow, never thought I would be killing Rank 7 Gods like it was nobody's business. But these guys seem weirdly mass produced. I bet Red done some weird experiment to mass produce vampires at higher ranks.

However, the one that survived, barely with half of his body, started to do weird things. Tendrils extended out of his body, as they stuck to the other pieces of flesh left behind, and they all began combining together.

"GRUOOOGGGHH…!"

The Vampire suddenly turned into a monstrous mass of flesh and countless limbs, overflowing with blood aura… This is similar to Greenwood's nanomachines, but I guess the flesh version. And that one wasn't the only one, as we kept killing more and more small fry Vampires mass produced by Red, more of these aberrations showed up, as if their very flesh couldn't rest in peace.

Whatever this was, it was definitely the power of a Divine Spell, something Red probably conjured. I saw it before, with Rakasha as I split my minds and continued supporting everyone else. The Vampires began gaining red auras around them… something must be triggering the birth of these abominations.

Never thought I would say this but…

"Are Vampires like damn roaches?! The more we kill, the more they keep coming!"

I unleashed countless of spears of Holy Ice and swinging my Dragon Tail around to intercept vampires, monsters, and magic attacks thrown at me. I was obviously a big target based on my size alone.

"Most likely… And those guys in specific are a realm problem, they keep showing up!" Raksha pointed out, in between the endless battle, more and more of these aberrations made of flesh and torn limbs mixed together continued to appear.

[Abyssal Blood Aberration] [Rank: 7 (Peak Stage)] [Status: Berserk, Hungry for Blood]

A unique creation of the Vampire Progenitor, an aberrant monster made of blood and flesh of fallen Vampires brought to life through a deadly incantation that combines both blood and death magic together.

The corpses or even leftover flesh and blood pieces of fallen vampire subordinates, tied to their never-ending allegiance to their masters, will stitch each other together and become abominations made of flesh, blood, and entrails. Shapeless and aberrant, they seek only blood and flesh to sustain themselves, and attack anything indiscriminately. Possess incredible regeneration abilities and Blood, Darkness, and Death Magic. However, it is sluggish.

Yep, this thing wasn't something normal at all, and it was apparently a creation of the Vampire Venerable… I bet Red just stole his spell. Well, now that she had done that, we have to deal with these damn shits. I guess I'll have to go a bit more serious if I don't want these masses of flesh to overwhelm us…

I quickly grabbed Skadi and Uller with each hand, and then called upon Rose.

"Rose, Spirit Fusion!"

"Very well!"

FLAAASH!
