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

-----

Lucia looked at the interaction between the two men, it felt as if they had always known each other and that they were talking about something way more important this time.

It felt as if there had been a rivalry between the two for years which was now about to be settled once and for all… it felt as if she had just become a spectator for a few seconds.

Ivan looked at Chris with an ever-growing angered expression, his temper was reaching its limits as he glared angrily at the man that had been ruining his plans since the very beginning of everything.

It felt like this time around he could quite possibly really just kill him… he was tired of having him always chasing him down, if he could just get rid of him, a lot of his problems would go away and he might even be capable of having a peaceful life with Miranda until she grew up and could converge with him, like two halves of the same person, and become a god together…

The one eyesore thing that stood on his path was Chris, the ants behind him and… the woman here. This woman… this very woman whose power couldn't help but surprise him every single time. She was very dangerous, not someone he could mess around with.

Her flames had already consumed many and could very well consume him as well, as long as he didn't play around, he should stand a chance against her flames, he had his own tricks and abilities, and wasn't someone weak, not at all.

Despite having been a scientists before, Ivan had boosted his physical power through Uroboros to completely superhuman levels and beyond, this was a fight against not a man, nor a soldier, but against a monster in man's clothing.

Chris' soldiers pointed their weapons at him, as Chris was already preparing to grab the bullet that they gave to him, capable of destroying Uroboros and finally kill Ivan in the process.

"Ivan, you're going down today." Said Chris.

Ivan smirked back at Chris, as his black sunglasses blocked the true color of his eyes and his expression.

"Bold words for someone that has kept trying and failing this entire time." Said Ivan.

"If you've stayed here, you've decided to finally end this, am I right?" asked Chris.

"You couldn't be more right." Said Ivan.

"You're… Ivan Wesker, right?" asked Lucia.

"The one and only." Said Ivan.

"Why?" asked Lucia.

"Why what?" asked Ivan.

"Why are you doing all of this? why are you making so many suffer? Why are you using the lives of the innocent like this?" asked Lucia.

"…Why wouldn't I?" asked Ivan.

"What?" asked Lucia.

Lucia looked at Ivan in the eyes, or well, she tried to, but couldn't possibly do so as she wanted, his sunglasses blocked his eyes.

What he had said was nonchalantly, he wasn't a normal person at all.

Who would even think about using the lives of countless innocents for their own goals without any problem?

Only a lunatic, an insane person.

"You're not… right in the head." Said Lucia.

"Hm? What is this child even saying, Chris? Is she your daughter or something? I've seen her powers, you're strange, aren't you? What sort of powers are you using? A virus? Are you a mutant?" asked Ivan.

"Mutant?!" asked Lucia.

Mutants, people that had been infected by the Virus Z and which instead of being turned into a zombie or a monster, ended retaining their normal human appearance, the Virus instead mutated their interior and granted them powerful abilities that only monsters had, but with all the sanity and clear mind of a human, making them formidable fighters.

"Don't listen to his words, Lucia, you're not a Mutant…" said Chris.

Lucia looked at Ivan while swallowing saliva, she slowly began to gather energy around her body and mind, forming an invisible barrier of psionic energy around her.

"She's good at using those invisible and weird powers of hers… What is she even, Chris? Can you at least share this much with me?" asked Ivan. He seemed cocky enough to ask such a question to his enemy.

"I am not sharing a single shit to you." Said Chris, as he quickly pointed his gun at Ivan, the talk was over!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Chris gun began to unload itself as bullets were fired at fast speed, reaching Ivan in a mere second!

But Ivan smiled as his hands suddenly shapeshifted, growing sharp tooth-like blades which he used to intercept the blows, clashing against them!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"Heh! …Eh?!"

BOOOOOMM!!!

The bullets were sliced in half as they exploded before Ivan's face, Chris smiled.

"Did you think I wasn't going to prepare for your flashy flesh blades? We know each other way too well." Said Chris.

"Precisely because of that I have also prepared…" said Ivan, he seemed unfazed by the explosions as he showed a new capability, expanding these blades hard material into a large shield that protected his body!

It quickly retracted back that shield, Chris didn't even noticed a single scratch on it! how could such explosive and powerful bullets not even scratch this man's bones?!

He was truly a monster.

The other soldiers began to fire down their bullets at Ivan, as Ivan began to walk through the bullets while waving his hands at incredibly superhuman speeds, his blonde hair shone brightly below the explosions that the bullets unleashed, as his black leather jacket waved around by shockwaves generated by the explosions, an aura of pure dreadfulness covered this man's entire body…

Lucia gritted her teeth, realizing the monster Ivan truly was now, how he could easily reflect bullets specifically made to deal with high-recovery-factor monsters like nothing, she had to use her flames if she didn't wanted everyone to die once more!

She pointed her hands at Ivan as she unleashed a powerful blazing storm from her hands, which spiraled around into an explosive vortex!

BOOOMMM!!!
