'WHYYY!?!' The Ice Dragon mother thought as she roared out, not being able to understand what happened to her small baby, that suddenly started to attack her.

Not only was this the case but the smaller Ice Dragon's eyes turned dull as if it gave up on resisting or even living if the soulbond contract didn't force it to stay alive.

Seeing this was devastating for the Ice Dragon mother who couldn't believe what the last 20 years had done to her small baby.

She was not sure what to expect to see in the beginning but right now she thought that living like this, subdued by a vicious man was even worse than dying.

Using her superior physical strength, the Ice Dragon mother pushed her daughter who already arrived in front of her away without injuring her in order to charge towards the vicious man with her offspring's transmuted mana intertwined in his own.

There were several more sovereign ranks next to him, but she didn't care about them at all.

Accumulated mana in her maw, she shot an ice beam towards her opponents to create a chaotic situation when she arrived in front of the first sovereign rank which she grasped with her claw, only to mash it without much effort.

Even if she was only at the Mid-Monarch rank, her physical strength, ice affinity, and mana control were even superior to common late-Monarch ranks because she was a Dragon and would have already killed everyone around her if she was not in a weakened state.

Nevertheless, she was still the strongest being present, while the vicious being that subdued her offspring and her small baby itself were the ones that were the closest to her own combat prowess.

The smaller Ice Dragon had already entered the Low-Monarch rank, while Jael Drake was currently considered a Late-Sovereign rank with his three consolidated prismarine crystals inside his mana core.

Yet, he was still weaker than the Ice Dragon mother in her weakened state, even if it was only by a small margin.

The Drake family patriarch noticed this which forced him to use something he would have never thought to have to use so early, against a mere beast at that.

Gritting his teeth, Jael Drake couldn't accept that his mighty kingdom could go extinct, caused by the emergence of the Ice Dragon mother and his headquarters ' destruction.

While he instructed his subordinates to gather around him, Jael ordered the small Ice Dragon to distract her mother for one minute which it did reluctantly, not being able to obstruct her master's words.

With a thunderous roar, the small Ice Dragon emerged in front of her mother as she shot an Ice beam at a close distance, which the Ice Dragon mother couldn't evade.

Roaring out in pain, the Ice Dragon mother knew that she had to do something, however, she was still hesitant to injure her small baby as she wanted to save her from the vicious man's grasp.

Time slowly passed with the two Ice Dragons clashing upon each other, they seemed to be intertwined with each other, fighting ferociously.

That was at least what it looked like in the beginning, but after time passed it was obvious that the larger Ice Dragon was not fighting back against the smaller Ice Dragon who was forced to fight against her mother with all her might, as she bite in her mother's back, ripping out her scales and flesh, revealing crimson red blood as the Ice Dragon mother roared out in pain.

One minute passed and only now did the Ice Dragon mother notice that something was wrong as her surrounding mana was incomparably low compared to a minute before.

Feeling an extremely strong suction force close to her, she looked towards the vicious man, who was holding a silver spear in his hand with complex sky blue runes inscribed on it, as her eyes widened in shock.

'Infant Elemental Runes!!'

The runes began to glow and manifested above the inscription, enveloping the whole white spear which started to vibrate as it ascended into the air.

Filled with the complete mana cores of a dozen sovereign ranks and their soulbonds that stood behind their masters, visibly exhausted and on the brink of collapsing, Jael Drake's pale face showed a cruel smile as he lifted his hand.

Having bound the soul weapon 'Sky frost Spear' which Jael Drake received from the foreign race he was in a contact with, the Drake family patriarch could control it to his heart's content.

Seeing that the Ice Dragon mother tried to flee, satisfaction filled his whole body and when he swung his arm down, the Sky frost spear shoot forward with a loud *boom* which caused cracks in the frozen ground several meters below it.

Jael was not able to control the Sky frost Spear for a long time because his mana was currently not strong enough while his ice affinity proficiency was also lacking, preventing a perfect control over the spear.

Nevertheless, right now, he felt as if nobody on Canir was able to defeat him, which included the few old monstrous humans who survived the mana outbreak and strived for more strength

If Jason were to see the Sky frost Spear, he would be extremely shocked as not only the weapon itself was extraordinary but the inscriptions too.

The sky blue inscriptions were made by an ice affinity in addition to several rare ingredients, but the most important was that the sky blue runes looked similar, yet less profound than the rift's large-scale rune, which was the most shocking inscription he ever saw until now.

Accelerating further, the Sky frost Spear broke through the sound barrier as it pierced into the Ice Dragon mother's shoulder, only to penetrate through its whole shoulder without much resistance.

A thick fountain of blood poured out of the wound and the Ice Dragon mother had to forcefully close the wound with her Ice affinity in order to stay awake.

Averting her attention to the Sky frost Spear which still flew through the sky, its mana fluctuations lessened visibly which showed its huge mana consumption, giving the Ice Dragon mother hope to survive as the smaller Ice Dragon suddenly emerged below it, shooting towards her.

Luning out desperately, the small Ice Dragon tried to kill her own mother, even if she tried her best to prevent doing so.

In the end, it was impossible to go against the soulbond contract.

As such, she tore apart her mother, who could only envelop her own child in a thick mana membrane with every single ounce of mana she had left within her after she noticed that the Sky frost spear didn't seem to hesitate to pierce through both of them.

Jael's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't care about anything except the Ice Dragon mother's death, as he shouted, releasing all his wrath towards the large Ice Dragon.

"DIE YOU WORM!!"

Using up every single drop of mana within, the Sky frost spear turned around and shot towards the Ice Dragon mother, piercing through its chest, straight inside the heart which continued to beat even after a hole appeared.

Piercing out of the Ice Dragon mother's body, the Syk frost spear continued its advance, not slowing down a tiny bit as it reached the smaller Ice Dragon's shoulder which was also pierced through.

The Sky frost spear's advance almost cut off the small Ice Dragon's front leg, only for it to be protected by the thick mana membrane her mother used to protect her child.

Meanwhile, the Ice Dragon mother's life force dissipated extremely fast and she was unable to continue flying as it crashed into the ground, without being able to move a single inch.

There was only a weak, painful screeching coming from the Ice Dragon mother as it looked towards her child with her last breath to see if she was still alive.

The small ice Dragon's eyes were full of life now, but filled with pain, sadness and tears poured down her cheeks as she saw its mother dying in front of her

Jael Drake smiled brightly and was overjoyed to have finally exterminated such a colossal threat as he retracted his weapon, only to look around as he saw that everything was destroyed.

Even the underground shelter should have sustained damages during the fight which meant that his whole clan was on the brink of destruction, which caused him to grit his teeth in anger.

Suddenly an idea formed in his head and his sour mood lifted slightly as he thought about Astrix island and Old Drake who told him about several prodigies and the Big-Three tournament.

"Let's replace our fallen comrades first!!"

****

Far away, Shane jumped up from the chair he sat on when he sensed that his soul contract with the Ice Dragon mother dissipated, indicating its death

'Jael was able to kill it?!'
