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

Chapter 1859: Progressing Steadily



As he enjoyed the breakfast with his family, Drake checked the quests left after everything that has happened so far in the train.

While taking a bite off his bagel, he squinted hie eyes.

"Hmm..."

[You have further progressed through the {Special Trial Storyline Quest}: [The Blood-Stained Railroad Trip]!]

[After having survived a swarm of monstrous aliens, infiltrated a city full of lawlessness, and having saved many unfortunate people from evildoers, your family is finally on their way to reach the Golden Spire Race, where all the strongest and craziest of people all around the Wildest West will gather up to race and put their lives on the line.]

[The one that wins will receive a tremendous prize in money, enough to guarantee the rest of their lives in comfort and without any more worries. However, to get there, you must first survive the trip to the area where the race will begin.]

[You and your family now find yourselves inside of a Train packed full of the most dangerous people of this entire world, assassins, hitmen, criminals, bandits, thieves, psychopaths, and more. All here for the sole purpose of winning the race.]

[And of course, if it wasn't because of the aforementioned reasons, they would get along and wait until the race began... However, to make things easier, they may begin killing each other to cut down the competition even if a little bit more.]

[Your Goal? Survive until you reach your destination. With additional Missions that'll increase your total score at the end of this Stage Trial Quest, once its completed and you survive, that's it.]

[Survive The Trip To The Golden Spire]: [0/1] (IN PROGRESS...)

[Defeat 3 Golden Spire Participants]: [3/3] (COMPLETE!)

[Protect the Train! Don't Let It Lose More Than Three Railroad Cars]: [0/10] (IN PROGRESS...)

[Defeat "The Bullet Demon"]: [0/1]

[Defeat "Insane Siblings Paprica And Johnsie"]: [2/2] (COMPLETE)

[Defeat "Madman Doctor Victoriano" (Hidden Quest)]: [1/1] (COMPLETE)n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Quest Duration: 1 Hour, 43 Minutes Until Reaching Destination.]

[Time is tickling! If you can't complete any of these bonus quests before the time limit, you will lose important score points necessary for your Class Change.]

"So it has been three hours more or less since then..." Said Drake. "I just have to make sure to protect the railroad cars and... Kill the Bullet Demon."

The Bullet Demon.

A mysterious figure he had no idea who could it be.

However, Drake quickly remembered someone he had confronted when he entered the train.

A huge man, whose entire body was covered with black clothes.

His aura was powerful, emanating a strong pressure that made every person almost faint.

However, he was able to overcome it, and showed him he was strong.

"Could that man be the Bullet Demon?" He wondered. "Do you remember him?"

"Wait, what man?" Miranda asked.

"The one we met at the beginning?" asked Benladann. "I kind of remember him, yeah. He was pretty strong... you think he's the Bullet Demon?"

"Isn't he the one we need to defeat to complete a quest?" asked Benladra. "We should look for him then..."

"Hmm..." Drake nodded. "I had thought about that, yeah. I'll send my slimes to check where he might be. His presence is strong, so he shouldn't be able to escape my grasp. There's still a couple of outlaws making a ruckus, but they're being taken care of as we speak. Nothing noteworthy unlike the previous ones though."

"It looks like the big shots have decided to remain in silence for now and just get to the race," said Miranda. "I would be doing the same thing too if I had seen two big shots being slaughtered already. The worst part is that they probably don't even know where we might appear from, so they're pretty scared to even engage. Only the dumb small fry that doesn't know their place are making a ruckus I guess."

"Yeah, at the very least, this should make it easier to find the Bullet Demon," said Benladann.

"Hmm, but do we really have to kill him?" wondered Benladra. "Only to get more points... Is it necessary to complete the trial?"

"It's not I guess..." Drake said. "So we could just skip him, yeah. But I don't think he's a good person to deserve our pity, Benladra."

"Hmm... I guess so... But we usually fight to defend ourselves, we usually don't just pursue someone to kill, I think it's kind of wrong..." said Benladra.

"Sometimes we have to do pre-emptive attacks to prevent being surprised by said bad people, my daughter," Benladann said. "It's something that you'll learn as you grow up. This world is a harsh one. You were born very strong, so I suppose you haven't struggled as a weak person, persecuted by much stronger entities, or abused and used by others... But this is something you have to learn to survive."

"Yeah," nodded Drake. "I suppose you still have a lot to learn yet, Benladra. You're still growing up and everything. You have to understand that sometimes, we can't simply afford to stand still and be hit by someone else, or act as bait. Sometimes it's necessary to chase these bad people and pull them by the roots, so they don't even bother fighting you to begin with. If we can defeat them before they even dealt any damage, that's for the better."

"Hmm, I see..." nodded Benladann. "I guess you're not wrong dad... The Bullet Demon didn't seem like the best person out there though. But had he been doing any ruckus or killing others lately?"

"I can't find him yet, but all the commotion going on right now... He's not there," said Drake. "So he simply came for the race? I thought he would've slaughtered a few participants, seeing how he released his aura and domain to see who he could kill or something, right?" Miranda asked. "I'm honestly confused..."

"Me too... It's strange," said Drake.

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

"But if he weren't, why would the quest tell me to defeat him?" wondered Drake. "Hm..."

As Drake thought about that, suddenly...

RUMBLE!

The entire train trembled loudly!

And then...

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.

And something from it jumped towards the train, reaching it once more.

BAAAM!
