Chapter 1347 Drake VS Surtr 2
-----
Three huge dragons made of divine origin flames, manifested with their powerful divine dragon souls. Although their souls alone couldn"t be so strong before, it seemed that Surtr Ranking Up also helped them bring their souls total power even higher as he summoned them. As of now, they were all equally as powerful as their Rank 6 Peak Stage selves.
That combined with Surtr"s Magic Power and everything else he had made for three mighty guardians. Yet at the end of the day…
BOOOOOM! BOOOOOMM! BOOOOMMM!!!
Their attacks generated blazing explosions, my body took some damage, but swiftly regenerated faster than they could hurt me.
They were left speechless as they saw how I blocked their attacks using both of my arms and my long tail…
"T-This is…!"
"To be expected of the young Dragon King!"
"He was able to block all three of us…"
"I expected as much!" Surtr smiled, flying towards me at the same time as his powers quickly connected with all three of the dragons, combining them once more. "[Divine Blazing Dragon Soul Summoning]: [Divine Blazing Dragon Soul Fusion]!"
FLAAAAASH!
In just a split of a second, his Blazing Domain and the three Dragon Souls merged into a three-headed blazing dragon hydra, which powered him up tremendously!
"[Blazing Meteor Dragon Fists]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
His fists became faster and much stronger. Each time he hit my body, a blazing explosion that could wipe out an entire small country happened at once! It was honestly amazing.
"Take this! AND THIS!" Surtr roared on a berserk-like state. "I won"t hold back…! I WON"T!"
"ROOOOAARRR!!!"
His Blazing Divine Dragon Hydra Aura roared, as all three dragon heads unleashed powerful blazing dragon breaths towards me all at once.
BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOOMMM!!!
"RAAAAAHHH!!!" Surtr suddenly transformed his Aura once more, combining it with his own scales and even his blood, utilizing his Unique Skill: [Heavenly Smith] to create a powerful item out of those "ingredients". "[Divine Blazing Soul Dragon Sword]: [Muspel]!"
A huge sword blazing with the power of divine fire dragon souls and his own body as materials emerged in a split of a second, as he swiftly raised it with both arms at once and swung it down with all the strength he had.
SLAAAAAAa.s.sSSSHH!!!
I faced the slashing, explosive blow with a smile. Back then, I really struggled against Divine Flames, but my body has now mostly grown to resist them naturally.
Before, I almost died against them, but now…
"Not bad." I smiled. "However…"
I simply imbued my bare claws with my Mana and then, I slashed the attack with both claws at once. A gigantic divine shockwave of pure frost emerged from both attacks, hitting Surtr"s strongest attack so far!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
A huge explosion spread across the skies, as Surtr quickly flew around it and reached me in an instant, his huge sword swinging horizontally and vertically countless times rapidly, letting out huge explosions of flames.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
My claws easily intercepted his sword, although the flames were so strong that my body was being constantly covered on deadly fire.
"[Icicle Spear Storm]! [Freezing Star]!"
I conjured the two spells I had used before, holding back as much a I could. Their combined effects generated hundreds of smaller Freezing Stars at once. I guess I"ll call it Frost Novas from now on.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"AAAARGGGHHH..!"
Surtr swung his sword furiously over and over with all his might, cutting down the hundreds of Frost Novas that kept chasing him around, all while my claws neared him with my rapid speed.
"[Divine Dragon Claws]"
CLAAAAa.s.sSH!!!
Both of my claws. .h.i.t his stomach at the same time, easily piercing his reinforced scales making him vomit a mouthful of blood all at once.
"Unnngh…?! ARGH…!" Surtr gritted his teeth, his Mana and Divine Power was about to be completely exhausted by now. "N-Not… yet! NOT YET!!!"
With tears flowing from his red eyes, he raised his sword and pointed it into my chest, piercing my scales and flesh with it!
"RAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! [Divine Blazing Dragon Soul Explosion]!!!"
The Dragon Souls contained within the sword released all their strength into a huge explosion, which spread from the wound all the way inside of my body.
BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
For a moment, it felt like I was being consumed by these flames endlessly… My body was about to turn into ashes… Yet it couldn"t. My mighty defenses activated automatically, and as the explosion"s smoke dissipated, Surtr saw in surprise my body was almost completely unscathed…
However, the wound he inflicted on my chest took a bit longer to recover. That was, without a doubt, a rather good amount of damage.
"Unngh…! Y-You"re… a Monster…" He muttered, before completely falling unconscious.
His body fell from the skies, as I caught him with my hand and gently carried him to the ground. That fight was much more surprising than I imagined.
"You"re a monster too, Surtr." I smiled. "That was not bad at all…"

When Surtr finally opened his eyes again, he found himself sleeping over his big bed. He was back on his humanoid form, which also helped him save energy, his entire body hurt though, and he was covered on bandages.
"Ungh…"
Slowly, he tried to stand back up, but the memories of last night surged on his mind. That powerful, relentless battle against Drake.
He knew he didn"t stood a single chance against someone so powerful, yet he knew he couldn"t simply give up either. He fought with everything he had, and even created new skills on the fight itself.
But even then, he lost miserably…
"Such a tall mountain to climb…" He sighed. "How will I ever compare to a small fragment of his strength as I am now?" He clenched his fists tightly, feeling frustrated.
"How do you plan to protect those you love with that att.i.tude?"
However, he quickly remembered Drake"s words, and then another scene from that battle. When he saw Surtr"s chest covered on flames, and with a huge wound that took a bit longer to recover.
"I was still able to hurt him a bit…" He sighed, quickly trying to see the gla.s.s half full than half empty. "Even if a little bit… That guy"s the Dragon King!"
His resolve was slowly building up more and more…
"I need to get stronger, much stronger…!"
