Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 2029: Ruby
-----
"GROOOAAAARRRR!"
Upon "hatching" from the dome, Ruby, now in a monstrous bat entity appearance, unleashed a gigantic, blazing breath attack made of Crimson Blood Flames, created by combusting Blood Energy to the highest degree.
TRUUUM!
The beam of Blood Flames was immense, aiming towards Rakasha to obliterate him alongside everyone else.
However.
"Ruby! Please… Stop!"
Rakasha was able to pull out his shield at the last moment, as the rainbow-colored scale shield of Tiamat protected him and those behind him from the deadly blast, barely.
BOOOMMM!!!
The flames erupted to the sides, reaching the mountain range behind them and making the mountain collapse completely, massive boulders falling everywhere.
At the same time, Miranda glanced into the distance, as the breath attack finally stopped, she looked at Ruby, or what she had become now.
"W-Where is her mother? What happened?!" Miranda asked.
She never imagined the girl had such a monstrous, yet powerful form hidden within her…
One triggered by more than just wrath, but sorrow, despair, and… perhaps devouring two hundred demons.
"I-I can feel another life signal inside of Ruby, in her chest…!" Benladra muttered. "She… she fused with her mom?!"
"WHAT?!"
And well, fusing with her own mother in the attempt to save her from dying.
Benladra and Kate put their energy and power into analyzing Ruby's new form, realizing there wasn't just a single source of lifeforce, but two.
And they quickly assumed this second source of lifeforce was Ruby's mother.
She had managed to keep her safe from dying, but by doing so, something aberrant happened.
"H-How did she fuse with her own mother? Isn't that going too far?" Miranda asked.
"It was to save her life…" Benladra sighed. "I… would've tried everything I could if it was for my mother too."
"A-Ah…" Miranda realized that what Ruby did might have not been the right thing, but perhaps any child that loved their mother would've done something crazy if they were in her position.
"GRAAAAHHHH!"
Ruby roared angrily, rushing towards them while encompassing herself with black and red energies, twisting space around her.
"Shit, she's coming!" Miranda cried. "Benladra! Kate! You know what to do!"
"Yeah!" Benladra nodded. "Come!"
Dozens of machines quickly merged into Benladra's machine avatar, turning her into a gigantic mechanical dragon overflowing with holy light.
"ROOOAAARRR!"
With a mighty roar, she clashed against Ruby, trying to stop her with her enormous, heavy body as much as she could.
"GRYAAAH!"
However, Ruby let out a furious shrill before swinging her giant black claws and…
CRAAASH!
The entire machine was split into two halves, in an instant!
"W-What…?!"
Miranda was left speechless, the immense power that Ruby held within her could simply not be stopped by Kate's machines.
"GYYAAAAAHHHH!"
Ruby monstrously screamed, grabbing Benladra's machine and beginning to crush it, tearing it apart with her jaws and claws.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
They couldn't even stop her!
"RUBY! DON'T!"
Rakasha's aura surged at full power after he was able to recover, rushing towards Ruby recklessly!
A giant made of Blazing Blood Frost manifested from his aura, swinging its giant fists against her!
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"GRRRHHH…?!"
However, Ruby was barely bothered by it, the frost covering her shoulders and arms simply turned black and then into cinders.
"H-Her body…! It's covered by some kind of potent curse!" Hector muttered. "Dammit Ruby! After all we did to rescue you, is this how you repay us?!"
"Hector, wait!" Kraxka tried to stop Hector, who grew furious, unleashing his full power.
FLAAASH!
"{Heavenly Beam}!"
With a roar, Hector unleashed a giant beam of light from his spear, hitting Ruby at full power.
Everyone knew that the Vampires' worst weakness was the element of Holy Light.
Hector was able to overpower and defeat many of such Vampires when they went to rescue Ruby the first time she was kidnaped.
And now, in his reckless move, he attacked the girl he had once gone to save.
BOOOMMM!!!
The explosion of light illuminated the skies and the surroundings for a second, engulfing Ruby in an endless, burning light.
"GRYYYAAAAEEEGGHH!"
She let out an agonizing, monstrous scream, as the light disappeared, revealing her burning body!
"R-RUBY!"
Rakasha panicked, rushing towards her to protect her.

"Hector don't attack her anymore! T-That was enough!"
He glared at Hector with anger, as Hector stepped back, realizing he had gone too far.
"A-Aaahh… Haahh… I-I'm sorry…! I didn't mean…!"
He couldn't have helped it, that monster didn't even look like the sweet girl he had once saved at all.
"No, you did well, that managed to stop her without killing her!" Kraxka said.
"We have to go stop her somehow though, how can we revert her back to her normal form?!" Larzak asked.
"There must be a way, right?" Miranda wondered. "I believe Ruby is in a berserk state, she's not herself anymore… Ugh, she probably has been overtaken by her Primordial Vampiric Instincts or something? Maybe even the Venerable as Rakasha said? But how is that bastard alive?!"
"We have to somehow help her regain her consciousness!" Benladra's voice echoed through the pieces of metal scattered everywhere.
Giant cables and pieces of steel started assembling back into her machine avatar, alongside growing larger over time.
"Ruby! Please come back to us!" Rakasha tried to help her, his aura encompassing her.
"GRAAAAARRRRRHHH!!!"
However, before they could even think of a plan, her scream echoed and reverberated through the surroundings.
TRUUUMMM!!!
A powerful shockwave of darkness spread everywhere, as space and even time distorted before her wrath! Her wounds regenerated instantly, and her body continuously overflowed with a deadly curse.
"GRRRHHH…!"
As she gritted her sharp fangs and glared at everyone with fury, suddenly, her aura distorted and warped behind her, revealing something completely shocking.
A crimson ring…
A shattered one, missing several parts, and covered on cracks, with tiny pieces of red floating around it.
But without a doubt, and unmistakenly, that was a…
"An Ascendancy Law Ring?!"
Miranda's eyes widened, as her entire body quickly expanded into a gigantic, chimeric dragon, not as strong as her true self, but powerful.
She did it as an instinct to protect herself and those behind her, as a second later…
"GRAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Ruby roared, raising her claws, as a sea of blood rushed down towards everyone, while she used her gigantic wings to fly away!
