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

Chapter 1860: The Incident



To slay the Bullet Demon, a quest that made Drake and his family question what they were doing.

Was it okay to follow the system and simply do as she say?

To kill someone that hasn't, so far, bothered anybody?

"Maybe Benladra is not wrong, maybe big sis is right and the Bullet Demon is not a bad person at least," Kate said. "Maybe..."

Little Kate wanted to believe that maybe the Bullet Demon wasn't all bad. It was perhaps born from their innocent hearts, who wanted to see the good in anybody.

And also perhaps because they lacked proof that he was actually evil, aside from his bad first impression and his intimidating appearance.

"But if he weren't, why would the quest tell me to defeat him?" wondered Drake. "Hm..." Drake didn't really want to doubt the quest that the System, his beloved, had given to him.

This was all a Trial anyways, a part of him thought that beings in here weren't real or that they would simply become dreams or something after they were done.

Another part of him though, began to question if everything and everyone were truly just dreams.

As Drake thought about that, suddenly...

RUMBLE!

The entire train trembled! The people in the railroad panicked, as their food dropped into the floor, making a huge mess.

And then...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

BOOOM!

The last railroad car of the train exploded, flames coming from it as its ceiling flew away, and then it quickly disconnected from the rest of the train.

The last four cars which were the farthest were the only ones Drake had yet to explore, as all his slimes were busy in every other car!

"No way, we lost a car already?!" Drake gasped.

The quest asked him to not lose less than ten, and there was a total of thirteen of them.

If this continued, and a few more were lost, he would fail that quest and reduce the score of everyone exponentially!

He couldn't let that happen, he quickly spread even more Slimes, as his Domain rapidly started preparing for a full expansion across every railroad.

However, suddenly...!

RUMBLE!

Someone else jumped towards the train, coming from the burning railroad car with extreme strength, and encompassed on a powerful Psychic Aura of darkness.

BAAAM!

His gigantic body and black clothes, his hat and his black leather jacket, his huge build, Drake instantly recognized who he was!

"The Bullet Demon!"

As he spoke, his family looked at him with surprise.

"Wait, wait, hold on a second! Did that bastard just burned down a whole railroad car and sent it flying away?!" asked Miranda. "How did he even do that?!"

"So he was evil at the end..." Benladann said. "I guess it was not like you thought, Benladra."

"Aww..." Benladra sighed. "W-Well, we have to take care of him then!"

"He did something now, he has to be stopped before he does even worse things," said Kate.

"I guess I can agree with that!" Drake nodded. "I'm moving there as we speak with my slimes. I can help you teleport there using the Dungeon Gates, I think I can use them here as well, wait a bit though!"

Drake concentrated in a dozen of slimes, and also on a little red one, which he threw off the window and then made fly all the way to the destroyed, burning railroad.

He rushed down, looking for survivors, but only finding calcinated corpses of dozens of people that were sitting inside...

"Fucking hell, is Psychic Power is fire? But I clearly saw darkness... Was this the doing of his weapon? Maybe that's why he's called the Bullet Demon?"

As Drake wondered what the hell happened, he quickly froze the entire railroad and tried to see if he could revive the people by reforming their bodies and placing back their souls there.

However, there were no souls he could find...

Except...

"Ugh... Cough..."

Out of nowhere, he heard a little voice, below the burnt rubble, a weak voice fading away. "There's someone there!"

He rushed towards the voice, quickly moving away the rubble and healing the person.

He found a little boy there, whose body had been burned.

His healing worked perfectly, healing his body.

The boy seemed confused, looking around while coughing.

"Ugh... Ahhh... The Bullet Demon..."

"Hang in there kid! I already healed you... Are you ok?"

"Ahh... A little... slime?"

The boy glanced at the red slime confusedly.

"Thank god you survived, come! I'll bring you back to the train! Where were you going to?"

"I-I was... alone... I was coming to meet... my grandma..."

"Did you see who did this to you?"

Drake inscribed a Dungeon Gate in the floor, and quickly teleported through it, landing in the

car where his family was, a safe area his Domain protected.

"Woah! W-We're back... Ah... Cough... so many people died..."

The boy coughed while looking dizzy, even after he was healed.

"Benladra! Can you heal him? He's barely alive! My healing doesn't seem to work as well as

yours!"

"Okay!"

Benladra nodded, immediately healing the boy with her stronger magic, his internal injuries

quickly recovered, healing back completely.

The last survivor of a catastrophic accident.

"Hahh... I-I'm back to normal? My lungs are clear too..." the boy gasped.

He was a human boy, a rare race among these lands, Drake instantly noticed his red hair and golden eyes made him look quite peculiar, he wasn't a normal kid at all.

"Can you tell us anything about what happened?" Drake wondered through his true body. "I'm sorry for what happened... I'm trying to stop the Bullet Demon as we speak, we can't let him blow up more railroads and do whatever the hell he wants..."

"Ugh... Um, I could, yes..." the boy nodded. "T-The Bullet Demon, that giant man... he came out of nowhere to our railroad, screaming and saying we were all going to die for him to

achieve victory..."

"What? He's that unhinged?!" Miranda asked. "Holy shit, we need to take him down quickly!"

"He said... he'll destroy every... every railroad so he can be the only one to live, even if he'll end up killing innocent sin the process! He's insane!" cried the boy, beginning to tremble and panic, completely traumatized. "He's going to kill us...! H-He's coming...! That demon...! W-

We can't do anything!"

"No, we can," said Drake. "Calm down and stay here. We'll take care of him."
