Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 155: Conversation

Chapter 155: Conversation

-----

After taking a peek at her cute dream, I quickly decided to pull back my consciousness…

And as I did…

I arrived elsewhere.

Eh?

It was a different world this time.

It seemed to be a world with perpetual darkness…

I glanced around as I couldn't help but be reminded of the place where Benladann was being held captive by the Mold's Alter Ego.

And within the darkness… there's a figure. Someone is there, waiting.

There's a girl.

It is a girl… she looks… human?

She is a girl between her 12 or 14.

Her hair is black and reaches her shoulders… and her skin seems to be pale-white.

She's wearing a black dress and is barefoot.

The girl seems to be in a fetal position while sitting over the black floor, glaring to nowhere.

Wait… is she?

"Miranda?"

I asked this as the girl suddenly seems startled, she slowly moves her body and glances at me.

"Eh?! Y-You…? Why? How… are you here?" she asked.

"I guess I am in the deepest area of the subconscious of Benladann, her soul," I said.

"Why are you here? What do you want? Did you came to beat me up again?!" she roared.

"Is that the appearance Benladann had on earth?" I asked.

"…Yeah, so what?" she asked.

"Did she died at a young age?" I asked.

"…No. This was her appearance due to my powers. But… without medication, she slowly deteriorated into an old woman…" sighed the girl.

I just evaded her previous question and she seemed to answer immediately. I guess there's no point in acting if she's answering me so calmly.

"Why are you so calm now? I honestly thought you would try to kill me," I said.

"I am not a monster you know?" she sighed.

"That doesn't seem to be the case to me," I said.

"You're a dragon, you're a monster! What do you know?" she sighed.

"Precisely because I am a monster I can tell you're one," I said.

"Tsk! If you came here to just mock me you're free to leave!" said Miranda, crossing her arms.

"Wow, you're really not just going to fight against me?" I asked.

"…Not like I could if I wanted to. I am weakened… Your attacks… were stronger than I could have ever taken… I lost…" she sighed.

"I see. So my powers have such an ability… If I attack you now, could I be able to delete you safely from Benladann's subconscious?" I asked.

"…I don't know. I've been with her since having consciousness of my own… I don't really know how it works, but it feels like both of us… Are in the same soul, or something…"? said Miranda.

"I see… Well, you're indeed right. You and Benladann are in the same soul… I had already seen it before…. Let me tell you something that you might have not figured out yet," I said.

"Eh? What now?" she sighed.

"You are not the same mold as the one with Benladann in the past," I said.

"Eh? What?"

"You're not the same as the one from Earth…" I said again.

"That's… What do you mean?" she asked again.

"Benladann wished her powers to carry over to her new life, here. The thing is, she only crossed through with her soul, meaning that this new power she got… Was made by the wish itself, not anywhere else," I said

"!!!"

Miranda seemed shocked.

"Indeed. Your existence is made out of magic, to out of physical Mold. Nonetheless, because Benladann has Mold Magic, she can conjure mold out of thin air and control it… This is magic, a concept you didn't know about, right?" I asked.

"I didn't know…" she sighed.

"Well, that's it… I just wanted to clarify this with you… Oh, and another thing…" I said.

"?!"? Miranda was shocked as I unleashed a strong bloodthirsty.

"If you ever dare take over Benladann or torment her body and soul… I will come here and seal you for an eternity, where you won't be even capable of staring at the void of this mindscape," said, making m voice clearer to intimidate her a bit more.

"Ah… T-This…! I wasn't trying to take over her or make her suffer…! Well, what would you know?! You're a filthy dragon trying to take advantage of her innocent personality!" she roared.

"I am not trying to take advantage of anyone, I was just helping her! Stop insulting me as if you knew about me or something, you don't know s.h.i.+t!" I said.

"Tsk! So what?!" she roared.

"You're getting bolder and angrier out of nowhere. Did you want to show off some bravery or something? Well, I am here waiting if you want to wrestle…" I said.

"…!"

She seemed to step back the moment she got insolent, gritting her teeth.

"Also, you say you didn't want to do all of that… Yet that's exactly what you've been doing this whole time! You're the bad influence for Benladann… You only make her suffer! Why can't you understand that she wants to be happy in other ways than just being caged with you?" I asked.

"That's… I… I know! She just said that to me the other day…" she sighed.

"You spoke with her?" I asked.

"Yeah… It was brief and I didn't make anything out of it… I just wanted to stay more time with her or something… But she neglected me and ended getting angered at me…" she said

"Hmm. Well, that's just karma. For being such an annoying and malicious being… It is the least punishment you could take," I said.

Indeed, after everything it did to Benladann, the least it could get is suffering a bit and getting her anger and rejection.

"That's the least you could deserve…" I sighed.

"Tch! Just go away! I don't have the mood to speak with someone so annoying…" she sighed.

"Sigh… Do you know? It really doesn't suit my style to annoy and bully little girls… I just wanted to know you better, but I guess that won't be the case," I sighed, as I disappeared from the place.

However… I suddenly emerged in yet another s.p.a.ce…

"Another Dream Walker?" said the voice of a mysterious figure behind me…
