Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System - Chapter 1440: Against An Army Of Robots!

"Wha…?!"

Drake opened his eyes again, that small dream-like memory illusion showcased a fragment of a long-forgotten past, or an unknown future.

Words such as the Quantum Gate, Red Crystals, and the image of those professors and the strange tree still lingered within his mind. But he had little time to think about those things deeply, even less everyone with him.

"[Intruders]! [Intruders]! [Intruders]!"

A mechanical voice echoed across the abandoned highly futuristic-looking room, as a huge computer in the back was the origin of the voice. Suddenly, the walls started opening as dozens of robots in the shape of humans, highly armed with fireweapons, emerged!

"[Begin Defense Protocol] [Eliminate Intruders At Sight]"

Ding!

[The [Nexus Corporations Mega Computer] has activated the [Defense Protocol] after sighting unauthorized invaders!]

[An army of hundreds of [Soldier Mechanoids (Rank 8+)] will be deployed to fend off the invading menace!]

The dozens or robots blue eyes quickly turned deep red, glaring down at everyone else. The Ice Dragon King quickly conjured a barrier made of divine power and frost around him and his allies seconds before hundreds of laser beams were to hit them!

"[Divine Frost Barrier]!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"W-What?!" Benladann muttered. "Weren't we watching some sort of dream- And then we've been sent directly into some battle!"

"Looks like it." Miranda said. "Get ready, we have to get rid of these things if we want to advance this weird Dream Dungeon!"

"That's my line, but yeah!" Drake nodded. "Everyone, are you alright? Tyrannus? Emerald?"

"We're fine!" Tyrannus said, gasping for air. "Just slightly mentally exhausted. Men, defensive formation! Use your new shields and spears well!"

"OOOOHHH!"

The warriors swiftly assembled into an amazing defensive formation surrounding everyone, resembling the shape of a giant turtle's shell.

"Hoh, not bad." Drake nodded, noticing his barrier beginning to slowly gain cracks. "These guys seem very strong, make sure to defend yourselves with your Divine Armor and Shields! Emerald, snap out of it!"

Emerald was still confused about what he had seen, until Drake hit his head with his tail and finally helped him wake up. Even Benladra and Kate seemed alright after seeing all of that, but Emerald was very affected, perhaps his first time ever entering a Dream.

"Uwaagh! A-Ah, yes! I'll fight!"

He quickly stood back up and started beginning to harness his Divine Powers, especially his unique Divine Magic [Heaven's Winds], which surged as beautiful bright white and green swirling winds around his body.

Drake had to admit it, despite being rather dumb sometimes, Emerald was surprisingly good at quickly catching up with things, it took him only a glance to understand what was happening and got himself ready for battle.

"He has a good battle instinct."

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

"The barrier broke, papa!" Benladra alerted her father.

"Stay close to Tyrannus, Benladra, Kate." Drake said. "Protect their blind spots! The rest of us will go kill these things! Emerald, move! You've got an excellent opportunity to earn battle experience!"

"Ugh, fine!" Emerald roared, rushing forwards, and using his sharp beak to pierce the chest of one of the humanoid mechs, which averaged at the size of three to four meters.

CLAAASH!

"I'll show you that I'm not actually a pushover!" Emerald roared, swinging his golden claws as a powerful gust of several cutting wind blades cut through the bodies of two more mechs!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Not bad!"

Drake rushed forwards with Benladra and Miranda, quickly transforming into his smallest dragon form to fit in this limited space, of around thirty meters of height, swinging his long tail and making several of the mechs fly into the air with the impact alone!

BAAAAMMM!

"Now!"

"Let's do this!"

Miranda and Benladann leaped into the air, catching the mechs sent into midair by Drake's attack. Powerful devastating strikes charged with Chaos cut down several of them, while explosions of Chaotic Flames blew up some into pieces!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Meanwhile, Drake charged with all his strength, slamming the larger mechs that were just walking out of the walls, each one being over ten meters and holding the shape of fantasy mobile suits from the sci fi works back on his previous life.

"Can't believe these mechs look so different compared to what Greenwood can make!" Drake said, crushing the mechs with his bare claws, while freezing a few others with his breath and then slamming them into pieces with a rapid swing of his tail.

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

"They keep on coming!" Emerald cried, his wings constantly slicing apart the smaller mechs as he moved forwards, his claws crushing through the shoulders of the largest ones and tearing them down. "[Divine Heaven's Winds Magic]: [Thunderstorm Tempest]!"

He conjured a mighty divine spell this time, as a giant tempestuous tornado made out of dark clouds materialized, letting out several lightning strikes and devastating the robots in front of him.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

At the same time, the formation Tyrannus and his warriors were making was rather effective. The mechs that approached and attacked them were greeted with multiple spears piercing their bodies.

"Keep defending and striking! Just as I've taught all of you!"

And while this happened, the spears unleashed mighty gusts of winds, cutting down or weakening other mechs nearby. They were constantly defending against their attacks while piercing their bodies.

Meanwhile, Benladra and Kate were crushing the larger ones that dared to come after the lizardmen.

"We'll take on the big guys!" Benladra said. "And with papa's special weapon, they'll be a breeze!"

FLAAASH!

Benladra flew rapidly with her tiny dragon wings on her humanoid form, swinging her spear rapidly, her body covered on a beautiful angelic armor made of holy light produced by her spear itself!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each strike of her spear made the mechs blow up into pieces, as light infused into their internal bodies and made them explode.

"Hmm, I can't control these." Kate found it difficult to hack into these mechs, perhaps because they were Dream Monsters and not real mechs to begin with. "Oh well…"

However, that didn't bother her at all, swinging the huge sword her father gifted to her, powerful strikes and electrifying, blue-colored beams emerged from each swing of her weapon, devastating the giant mechs approaching.

The entire group was progressing smoothly, as the large computer at the back of the room suddenly started glowing bright red…

"[Deploying Juggernaut]"

TRUUUMMM…!
