Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 2045: Giving Them A Second Chance

-----

"What are you talking about?! If it wasn't for you and Pekora, those annoying Chaotic Beasts that Chaos summoned would've annoyed us to no end and would have interrumpted our consecutive attacks…!" Yuki said. "Your help was definitely necessary. Without you we wouldn't had been able to do it… I think everyone helped. Everyone was an important piece!"

"That's right, Tisha, don't be too harsh with yourself," The Rabbit-kin Druid nodded, holding her big, muscular arm, and caressing her shoulders. "Thank you for being there with me, fighting by your side fills me with so much happiness… A feeling I thought I had forgotten long ago."

"Hah…" Tisha blushed, her blue-skinned face turning slightly red. "If you say something like that, I might not hold back then…" She smiled, kissing her lips.

Yuki's eyes widened, as she realized the two started making out there… Their size difference was also staggering, the Ice Giantess grabbing the Rabbit-Kin with her arms and lifting her up while kissing her was certainly adorable.

"Damn it, these two can't hold back until we get back home…?" Yuki sighed, facepalming. "Oh! Drake!"

She ran towards Drake and his family, smiling and greeting him, as his draconic form didn't change back to his Dragonoid form, leaving Yuki too small to hug him like she wanted.

"…"

She noticed his eyes were very sorrowful, however, and his wives were patting his shoulders, while his children looked at their father with eyes filled with sadness.

"D-Drake…?"

She noticed that Drake was crying…

It was a bit shocking, after seeing him grow and develop so much through all these years.

"Why… Why are you crying?"

Maybe when he was just a little dragon, he would've been a crybaby, but right now, she had hardly even seen him ever shed a tear in years.

And yet…

Perhaps the strongest dragon in this world was now crying.

"I'm sorry… I wish I could've saved you. I wish I could've done something different…"

He sighed while murmuring to himself, closing his eyes.

His tears stopped, as he looked at two faint lights in his hand.

One was dark red and, and the other purple and black.

His eyes shone brightly, his divine powers manifested, as both lights merged into a sphere that constantly spun in many colors.

"I know I should simply destroy you but… I can't do that."

He closed his fists into the sphere, infusing it with soul energy.

And then, as he opened his hand, the sphere flew away slowly, into the skies.

"I want to give you a second chance… Perhaps not to you two, but to someone else born from you. A child you never had…"

The two lights combined into a new soul, which flew away, far, far away, connected to the cycle of reincarnation of Yggdrasil.

The tree herself had detected this anomaly… And yet, despite everything they had done, she realized that this was Drake's wish.

"Perhaps by giving you a second chance, a new life… Maybe you can finally show me that you could become great people."

He smiled faintly, as the little soul disappeared, moving across an endless river of souls, who knows for how long.

Perhaps days, weeks, months, or years…

But one day, for sure…

They would reincarnate into someone else, without their past memories.

As new blank slates, to enjoy the life they were denied.

Now forever together, as the soul of the child they could never have.

"It's done…"

Drake sighed lightly, noticing Yuki below him.

"Ah… Yuki… Thank you for helping so far."

"A-Ah… Hmm…"

Yuki wanted to say some snarky comment or make fun of him for crying while being a venerable and the dragon king but…

At the end, she couldn't really say a single word.

She understood how he felt and quickly realized what he did as well.

"You're really a pretty amazing person, Drake…"

She looked at him, smiling, without acting snarky for the first time, maybe.

"That's why I…"

"Shall we get going then, everyone? We need to rest, eat, and talk a lot… A lot has happened after all… Let's go."

As Yuki saw a portal open and everyone entering it one after another, she slowly flew towards the portal, seeing as Drake entered without looking at her.

But then, he quickly glanced back at her, going back to his original Dragonoid form, smiling handsomely at her, extending his hand towards Yuki.

"Let's go, Yuki. Don't stay behind."

"A-Ah… Yes…"

She extended her hand, holding it tightly.

As she floated back to his Divine Realm, a world where she felt truly safe, a world that she called her home…

She smiled, seeing him looking at the castle, while holding her hand.

"That's why you're the only man I love…"

Drake quickly glanced back at her.

"Yuki, you did a lot today, thanks for your help… It was a really long day, wasn't it? I bet you're exhausted… Me too, honestly. I was thinking on making a feast for everyone, to celebrate… Do you want something? I'll make anything you want."

"Anything?"

"Yeah…"

"Then…"

Drake's eyes widened, as Yuki floated towards him, approaching her face towards his own.

She armed herself with boldness, as Drake tried to move, but he was too slow.

Her lips touched his own, as she stole a kiss.

Her tender, warm lips touched Drake's slightly cold lips.

"Hmm?!"

And it wasn't a small kiss, no, it was a pretty passionate one.

"Yuki…?! You…"

Drake glanced at her in disbelief as Yuki slowly separated her lips from his own, their tongues faintly touched too, leaving a trail of saliva.

"Don't tell me it wasn't obvious already~"

Ruby rested her arms around his shoulders, looking at him with a teasing, enamored smile.

"But you… have to think before you do things…"

"Look, you asked what I wanted, and I got it! So it's alright, right? Hmph!"

Yuki quickly flew up, hitting Drake's face with her fluffy tail, as she provoked him.

"You little…!"

"Eheheh! I bet you can't catch me, crybaby dragon king~!"

"Who are you calling crybaby?! I was just… I couldn't help it! Come here already!"

"Nuh-huh~ Catch me first!"
