Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1526 Surtr Meets Emerald

Chapter 1526 Surtr Meets Emerald

-----

Although I used a Skill to transform into a humanoid "Draconid" or "Dragonoid" shape, however anybody wants to call this semi-humanoid form a dragon can take which shares a few of their draconic characteristics while looking like the humanoid races of Yggdrasil, it was also possible to undergo this change through the usage of Polymorph Magic or Draconic Techniques.

Even when he's very strong at Rank 9, Emerald doesn't seem as connected with the Draconic Records to draw power out of them, sadly. He possesses no such thing as a System for Skills, so the best thing we can do is teach him the "Humanoid Form" Spell of the Polymorph Magic, sometimes also referred to as Transformation Magic or Shapes.h.i.+fting Magic.

It is a branch of Life and Nature Attribute Magic that delves into the transformation of a person's body form. I know only a bit of it thanks to Pekora's teachings, but this spell alone should do the trick.

I made a magic circle a.s.sembling the runes and showed it to him. As Dragons, we have a natural affinity to Transformation Magic Spells.

"Like… this? Ah!"

FLAAAs.h.!.+

The moment he finished a.s.sembling the spell, Emerald's entire body was wrapped in countless threads made of his own, green-colored Mana, creating a coc.o.o.n of magic.

The coc.o.o.n quickly transformed, beginning to compress his large body ma.s.s into something much smaller. It only took a couple of seconds, but once it was finally done compressing him, the coc.o.o.n disappeared like particles of light.

"H-Huh? What's this?! Is this me?!"

Emerald felt slightly dizzy once his size decreased greatly. He was now slightly less tall than me, his skin had a clear green hue to it, almost azure, and he had green, jewel-like scales growing across his arms, legs, neck, and other areas.

His arms and legs were finely decorated with colorful green feathers with tips of different colors, such as yellow, orange, blue, and red. His "hair" was also made up of these feathers, going all the way down to his hips.

His body was thinner but still had quite a good growth in the muscle department, and his sharp golden eyes shone with draconic might.

Emerald's foot had become like the talons of birds, golden scaled and with very big and sharp claws, his "hands" were very similar.

He had a pair of big, feathered wings behind his back, he had no beak, but there was an ornament, most likely composed of keratin, growing from his forehead, resembling a golden beak.

A pair of golden horns decorated his forehead, no longer than thirty centimeters.

"Yes, that is definitely you, young man." I laughed. "Are you scared? Every dragon is capable of changing into a Humanoid Form, they just need to reach a certain stage of their growth first.

"I had no freaking idea this was actually a thing. I don't recall any of my siblings or my mother using this!" He said, admiring his muscular arms, claws, and feathers with a child-like wonder.

"I would a.s.sume because your family was isolated and they didn't meddle with mortals, they didn't really need to use this spell," I said, thinking about it. "More or less, that's about it. Try to memorize this spell as much as you can. Inscribe it into your Divine Core so you can cast it whenever you feel like."

"I-I see, I will!" Emerald said with a rather confused tone of voice, he was constantly inspecting his transformed body. "Thank you for teaching me another valuable thing, Master!"

"No need to call me Master, Emerald," I said, although I still felt rather flattered. "Now- Oh, there you are."

"Master!" Another young dragon that treated me as their master while they considered themselves my disciple appeared.

It was n.o.body else than Surtr, who had slept in this village with his group apparently and had just joined in the party with everyone.

Just some moments ago, I had seen him being swarmed by dozens of villagers asking him all sorts of questions to him and his party, they were rather interested in what the tribes of the farther lands could talk about.

"Oh, Surtr, you're here." I greeted him, Emerald took a look at Surtr in his humanoid form, confused. "This is a good opportunity to introduce you two to one another."

"Emerald, this is Surtr, my first disciple, I suppose," I told Emerald. "And Surtr, this is Emerald, a young wind dragon we found on our way to this village, which ended up becoming a rather exceptional ally, I have reluctantly become his master too."

"S-So you're Surtr! Master Drake has told me a few things about you!" Emerald spoke with a child-like wonder, he was very excited to meet a Fire Dragon.

"I see, well, I had no idea there were Wind Dragons around." Surtr nodded, giving him a handshake. "It is nice to meet you, Emerald. If you've been accepted as Master Drake's new disciple, I would a.s.sume you're competent enough."

"I-I've tried my best. I was quite cowardly before- I still am. Ah, in fact, there's a lot that I should improve on myself…" Emerald sighed, surprising Surtr due to his rather low self-esteem.

"Come on, didn't you help us save the village? You also helped Master Drake rescue the people that were kidnapped by that monster, or so I heard." Said Surtr. "Value yourself a bit more."

Surtr gave him a pat on the shoulders, to which Emerald responded with a faint nod, his eyes already watering down, ready to cry.

"S-Surtr… Thank you so much, my dear senior!" He started crying already.

"Y-You're crying?!" Surtr was surprised. "Come on, calm down man… It's alright, haha."

I never thought Surtr could take the role of a big brother for Emerald, but their personalities did have that interesting dynamic. Surtr was very cheerful and reckless, sometimes too confident I would say. Meanwhile Emerald lacks confidence is timid, and a child-like.

"Both of you have a lot to learn from one another." I patted both of their shoulders at the same time. "For now, why don't you get to know each other while we have breakfast? Come on, let's go."

Like that, we joined Tyrannus and Surtr's families for a big breakfast.
