Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 242: Against A Bunch Of Ogres

Chapter 242: Against A Bunch Of Ogres

-----
Now that the crows got their own personal fight and character development, we continued through the Rank 3 Dungeon. We fought a lot of Rank 2 Monsters with some Rank 3 mixed into them, there were several Hobgoblin Settlements, some of them specialized in using powerful magic, which surprised us, they even had very strong elemental variety.
Some specialized in using weapons, there was a hill with ores that they mined, we stole everything and also, I decided to cut the entire hill in my dragon form and put it in my inventory. Call me an opportunist but that was a treasure trove of magical ores.
The Shadow Crows lived in nests atop the trees, we had found a particular nest with many of them, they were raising their eggs, which we got to make omelets, they were enormous, like ostrich eggs. There were three Rank 3 Shadow Crows though, but Benladann and my crow form took care of them alongside the twin crows.
Honestly, Rank 3 Monsters were a fine challenge, but if I go all out, I can kill them without any problems, of course, that only applies to the Crows who are more physically frail.
When we finished most of the forest, we already reached the last area with monsters on the first floor. We had picked up a lot of dropped items too, Rank 3 monsters drop even Mana Potions and Health Potions, I can already see why the bastards of the sect wanted me to handle so much back to them, they would die if they were to see me getting all these valuable things for myself.
Honestly, sometimes I feel like I just want to crush this entire sect to the ground and conquer it as my own territory, but I remember that I won't stay here forever, nor I am too chaotic to do such a? thing. I like to live in harmony if possible. I guess I don't fit any of the criteria of a Xianxia main character…
Though it would be nice to have that stupid requirement revoked, I already took away the contract from my main soul, leaving it in a split soul I don't even use, so all of the contract requirements don't apply to me. I will just share some crumbs and say that that is what we managed to get barely, implying it was very hard to kill any monster. This way, they won't ask us for more while we fill our wallets with resources and items.
"So many Ogre Giants…"
We looked in front of us, there were around ten, yes, ten Rank 3 Ogre Giants resting, they were camping, roasting several Shadow Crows over whole trees they used as skewers.
It was already night, this family of Ogre Giants seemed to be just chilling.
For a moment I wondered what it could be to be in their place, were monsters truly inherently evil? Or were these guys chilling really wild beasts? They were even groaning, speaking some kind of language, they seemed more eloquent than Hobgoblins.
Did they had dreams? Did they appreciate the bonds of family? I know they do; I've tamed my own monsters and I know how much they appreciate everyone.
One of them was so intelligent she evolved into a beast-kin, to boot.
But we really shouldn't worry about that, we are here to slaughter them so we can grow stronger. It sounds very crude, but this is how it is.
And we also paid 5 million mana stones, so it better be worth it!
I jumped straight into battle with all the fury of having paid so much, transformed into my dragon form, the Ogre Giants were scared out of their lives.
"RRROOOOOAAARRR!"
A single of my roars made them all tremble and jump away in surprise, I fell over one of them immediately, my claws and jaws did the job easily, slashing and crushing their flesh, I sliced away his head in an instant and threw it away victoriously.
I rushed towards the next one as I called upon the rest of the party, as they began to attack the one I had left damaged right now, I had cut down his legs.
Benladann in the other case joined into fighting another one by herself, she used her Soul and shaped it as large claws, intercepting the powerful blows of the Ogre Giants with them and then attacking back with her axe, which she was wielding around rather eagerly today.
SLAAAAAASH!
Her powerful axe slashed through the Ogre Giant's shoulder, and his arm fell off!
"GRUUUOOOHHH…!"
The Ogre shrieked in agony as it fell over the ground and began to conjure fireballs against her. Benladann easily blocked them with a wave of her chaotic aura, as she generated several chaos bullets around her and fired them spectacularly towards the Ogre, filling it with holes and instantly slaying it!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Honestly, quite incredible…
Oh right, and me? I was opening the chest of an Ogre Giant with my claws, and freezing him from the inside out, nothing too special, he fell over the ground like an ice statue.
My mastery over my Ice Magic had become pretty good, Winter Magic is overpowered, and it is finally showing it off even more than before. I froze the legs of another Ogre Giant for the rest of the party to abuse, they had already killed a Rank 3 one, and they continued to do so with this other one.
Benladann on the other side also killed another one and suddenly infected the corpse with Mold. Miranda's consciousness took over it, as she was experimenting with this new method of Undead raising, kind of like Necromancy but with Mold, I guess.
Miranda used her new temporary body and began to battle an Ogre giant, their fists clashed against one another and created shockwaves, but she ultimately lost, her body was already damaged, she went back to Benladann, and she finished the weakened ogre Giant with a few powerful blows.
We worked hard for a few more minutes until they were all slain.
Phew…
