Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

Chapter 160 Snowie-Chan

"Zack, do you have something like a sixth or seventh sense? How the fk did you know this would happen?" Hayden asked as he swung his axe down followed by roars of pain.

"Trust me, Hayden, I only knew that something would happen and had no idea that a literal dragon will make its appearance by having his nest below the igloo!"

Zack shouted back as he used his blue flames to burn the wings of the creature in front of him. After destroying the igloo, Zack and Hayden had seen a dragon rising from a hole in the ground with a roar.

Be it their luck or someone pulling the strings, the dragon was a female who had recently given eggs.

The female dragon was only at level 50 yet fought with the spirit of a level 5000 plus beast. Zack had been thinking of a way to tame the dragon not only due to its powers but due to the risk its eggs would face.

"Why don't you stop attacking me and we call a truce? I can help you protect your children!" Zack shouted as he rolled on the ground to avoid icicles coming towards him at a hyper speed.

[ You humans… I was just minding my business before one of you decided that it was good to attack me and my next! ]

"You can… talk?"

Zack's mouth opened a crack as he couldn't believe what he heard. Never could he have thought that he would meet a talking dragon living under an igloo.

[ Of course, I can talk hmph! Just cause my level regressed doesn't mean that I let my prowess and everything else go away. ]

'Regress? Are you one of those beasts that can go through reincarnation like a Phoenix?'

[ I revealed too much. ]

The dragon suddenly stood still on the ground which made Zack wonder what the heck was he witnessing. Did the dragon just get flustered due to freely running its mouth?

[ Also, I have a name. Call me Snowie-Chan. ]

'…'

Zack didn't know whether he heard the name right or not but judging from the glare he was getting, he had probably heard it right.

"Uh Hayden, I think it's your turn to convince the dragon to join us. I hope you and her can talk it out." Zack suddenly said while looking at Hayden.

The king of the underworld blinked in confusion as he stared at the dragon's face.

[ What you staring at, edgy kid? Does my face say 'dragon on exhibition for edgy kids to look at? ] The roaring dragon had somehow turned into an emotional damage dealer.

Though Hayden had been told multiple times that he looked edgy, hearing it from a dragon carried extra weight.

However, Zack and he were not childish when it came to trivial things like that and instead decided to put their weapons away before talking.

The dragon seemed to be raising an eyebrow as she saw the two humans put their weapons back.

Though it was far from making her trust them, it was a small step that made the dragon have a bit of hope in her heart.

Throughout her lifetime, she had met multiple humans and most of them had either wanted to put her as a trophy or wanted to use her as a mount.

There had only been a few humans who had treated her well yet there was only a single human who she had the highest respect for.

It was the same person who had managed to train numerous dragons and had helped Snowie too. The female dragon felt her heart contracting a bit as she remembered what had happened to that person.

Even after all the powerful dragons, the person still had been killed. Since then, most of her fellow dragons had either gone into seclusion or had left the world far behind for either the afterlife or another world.

'Speaking of that, why does he seem to remind me of an oddly familiar and irritating person?' Snowie frowned as Zack seemed to be reminding her of someone.

After living for a long time, she had to sacrifice quite a lot of things to not go into slumber especially when she had eggs and children to take care of.

She had forgotten most of her memories yet she still remembered the person she had sworn her life to alongside a blurry image of the others around the person.

Snowie then turned her gaze towards Hayden and he gave her a similar feeling.

"Both of you are named Zack and Hayden, right?" For the first time, Snowie spoke through her mouth instead of using telepathy.

The two boys nodded as Snowie closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again.

'Well, he was right. Sooner or later, someone will find me and there is no guarantee how powerful I would be then or how powerful the person would be.' With a heavy sigh, Snowie decided to make a decision she could have hardly thought about.

"Uh, Snowie, why do you look as though you are wondering how we will look as ice sculptures?" Zack asked in a confused tone as Snowie's eyes widened a bit.

She had forgotten everything yet she could never forget the line she had heard from the person closest to her master.

---

"Why do you look as though you are wondering how I will look as an ice sculpture. But then, I guess everyone would want an overly handsome ice sculpture like me."

---

"I will help you in whatever you want but in exchange, you will protect me and my babies. Swear an oath of existence with me to prove it since I will not be signing a contract."

Zack narrowed his eyes when he heard Snowie's words as his senses told him something was wrong. Snowie had gone from wanting to kill him to wanting to have an oath of existence with him.

"Then let's proceed," Zack replied regardless as he knew that once pushed to her limits, Snowie could make multiple breakthroughs and reach a new level.

He just had to wait for that time to come and would be able to laugh at their first encounter.

'Judging from every other kingdom on the Eastern Continent has gone radio silent, that time should be coming soon.' Zack thought as both he and Snowie swore an Oath of Existence on equal terms.

After they were done, Snowie flew down to her next and gathered all of her eggs in her personal inventory that she had received years ago.

Zack and Hayden on the other hand checked her information using inspect.

---

Snowie(???) (level 50(???)): An ice dragon that is often known to roam around the tempest of ice. The rest of the information is locked due to the seal placed on the beast's body.

---

"Tell me that is not weird…" Hayden muttered as he and Zack looked at the dragon's information.

The sealing part confirmed Zack's suspiciousness as he glanced at Snowie appearing back on the top. She had indeed been telling the truth which made Zack wonder what else he was left to see.

A golden dragon popping up and saying "Night Motherfcker!"?

Zack then shook his head of weird thoughts before deciding to ask for Snowie's help for the first time.

"How well can you hide in the snow?"
