Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 572: Earth: A Real Monster Amongst Men

"What? You're worried about me?"

Lucia asked Chris with a cheeky smirk, as the man sighed and showed her an expressionless face like he often did.

"It is my duty to worry about those I am given the task to take care of… Although I suppose I wasn't able to save them…"

Chris looked at the corpses of his soldiers that had been eaten by the monsters; they were also burned by Lucia's flames. At the very least they were cleansed from these disgusting aberrations.

Suddenly, the charred corpses began to slowly tear apart into black dust, falling over the floor.

"She really turned them into dust…"

"Damn it… Sam… Eric…"

"Sam… Wasn't he married? He had two kids…"

"Shit…"

The soldiers seemed dispirited, after seeing two of their friends die so horribly, they couldn't help but feel let down.

It was the duty of Chris, their leader, to lift their spirits so they could keep moving forward. They had come here for a mission after all, the mission of taking down Ivan Wesker and the aberrations he was bringing to this world.

The breach of the test subject zero had already brought the death of many innocent people and took a lot of time and effort to be caught and ultimately terminated.

They couldn't afford another time like that, and after leaked information about Ivan raising a clone from Miranda leaked through the Dark Web, the Organization had been working hard to finally catch him.

To the point they had even colluded with North Korea and had made the country itself betray Ivan Wesker after their initial pact because the Organization itself offered them even more technology, genetic engineering, and even the power of Espers to them…

With all of this and more, the North Korean nation let the group of Chris pass through their frontier and even their naval wall which they had made around the secret island where this operation was being unfolded.

Ivan had no idea that his former allies had betrayed him at the end, but that's how life was, filled with surprises.

"We have to keep moving. We cannot let these monsters get outside… Sam and Eric… they might not be the first victims, but we could make them the lasts ones if we deal with this menace today! Men, move with me, come, let's end this!" said Chris.

The soldiers suddenly felt their hearts lifted, Chris was an excellent man at words, even Lucia felt moved by him, although she clearly realized the manipulative intent of his words.

He had to make sure to make them believe it, to make them believe there was hope, because in this mission, many more might die as well, including him or Lucia…

"It looks like things are getting harder." Said Lucia.

"…With your help, we might not have made it, these monsters can take hundreds of bullets before actually dying, many others would had died before we could had taken them down… They appear to also be of a new type…" said Chris.

Suddenly, the voice of a young man resonated through Chris speakers near his ears.

"Chris! I've analyzed the monsters…"

"Oh, Jon? Tell me, did you see what they were?" asked Chris.

"…Currently, there wasn't anything that matched with them in the database, they're made with a new strain, that's for sure. They also didn't seem like a variant or a mutation, this is not the same Virus from before. If anything, this is probably spawns of Uroboros, the nearly perfected Virus Z that Ivan Wesker modified from when he belonged to the previous organization that spread the Virus through New York City…" said the man.

"…The one virus that started it all." Sighed Chris.

New York City as we know it, didn't exist anymore.

The media in the USA had manipulated the people and the information one could get from the city, but what had happened in the city was nothing but a catastrophe.

Five years ago, a virus broke out, they named it the Virus Z, simply put, it was a virus that provoked people to turn into savage zombies, thirsty for blood and hungry for flesh. Their bites could infect other people easily, and their entire bodies would slowly begin to rot as well.

There were certain ones that were more compatible to the Virus Z, and became mutants, powerful beings that possessed greater physical capabilities and even developed special abilities as well, they took over the city and after Chris managed to escape from it alongside some of the survivors, the entire city was nuked so the virus wouldn't spread any more.

However, this was but the beginning of the end.

Since then, Chris was recruited by the Organization, a government-created organization that was designed and made to deal with all things supernatural in the world. After this incident, it gained a lot of funds not only from USA but many allied countries, and it became an even greater organization than before, dealing with all things related with the Virus Z and the mysterious group that created it and spread it in New York.

Amongst the many scientists' heads Chris had to hunt, there was one particular man, a peculiar man with dreams of lunacy, with an ego that couldn't be stopped, and with a cunning and scheming mind only akin to an evil genius archetype.

Ivan Wesker…

He had used the virus on his own body at some point, after modifying it countless times by merging mutated strains in what he called a near-perfect strain, Uroboros.

This was the power he wanted the most, it granted him supernatural abilities beyond human comprehension, even after battling many times against Chris and his allies, he always somehow survived and escaped.

His resiliency knew no limits.

But now… there was a way to even deal with him, a special bullet on Chris pocket, specifically made to destroy even Uroboros… but for that, he had to get closer and shot the bastard in the head.

And for that, he needed his men to fight, and even give up their lives for him if it was needed…
