Chapter 1386 Intense Clash!
-----
"Ungh?! And why am I growing weaker and slower?! This is not just the Time Divinity within the Ocean Water…!" The Flame Emperor noticed his body beginning to grow weaker through a strange divine curse-like aura.
This power was exuded by all four of Drake"s Divine Weapons, possessing the ability to weaken their foe through a combination of many attacks at once! Such as…
----
[Divine Sea Dragon"s Fang]: Increases all Damage Dealt by +200%, Ignores -30% of the target"s total Magic Defense. Can Pierce through Spatial Distortion Barriers and deal direct damage. Whenever an attack hit a target, there"s a 50% chance to inflict a Debuff that decreases the target"s Physical Strength and Magical Power by -5% for 5 Minutes, which can stack up to -50%.
----
The reason why Drake"s weapons were so special was because of their amazing abilities, and the power to pierce through defenses, and even the spatial distorting barriers that the Flame Emperor was now wielding into his own flame sword was becoming incredibly useful now.
"[Divine Spirit Creation]: [Divine Ocean Dragon G.o.d"s Wrath]!"
And as if things couldn"t get any worse for the Flame Emperor once more, Drake unleashed the might of his Divine Spirit Creation Ability, summoning a gigantic Spiritual Ent.i.ty that fused itself into his spear, shaping itself into a pair of t.i.tanic Dragon Maws, engulfing the Flame Emperor and pushing him into the floor yet again.
SPLAAAAa.s.sSSH!!!
"Uaaarrggh…!"
The Flame Emperor felt frustrated more than pained, his flames flickered before the might of Drake"s oceanic magic, forcing him to go beyond his current limits, and show the power he has been saving for much later.
"[Primordial Flames of the End]!!!"
FLUOOOOOSH!
"What…?!"
Drake was suddenly overwhelmed by an enormous wave of black flames, darker than ever before and more monstrous and aberrant than what he had fought against beforehand!
Covering his armor and weapon with his Beginning Flames, he quickly unleashed a barrage of attacks, and then nine dragon breaths to just hold the wave for a few seconds!
"Hahahah! Struggling, are you?!" The Flame Emperor floated in midair. "You"ve been a rather powerful foe! But this will be as far as you go, Dragon King! [Primordial Flames of the End Embodiment]!"
The Flame Emperor"s entire body was engulfed by his own flames, as he burned to ashes, only to transform into the flames themselves! He became a t.i.tan made of black flames, overflowing with the power to end it all!
Drake"s Flame of Beginning were powerful, but they could barely resist the improved version of the Fire of the End, the Primordial Flames of the End!
"BURN!"
The Flame Emperor stepped forwards, his entire body creating thousands of meteors that all fell over Drake, the Dragon King"s armor and defenses were instantly pierced, his barriers shattered one after another!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Despite his amazing enhancements, buffs, divine weapons, and abilities, Drake was constantly being pushed back, even as he was trying to fight back even knowing that he was already reaching the limits of what he could achieve.
"(I can"t let him beat me yet! Surtr had yet to level up enough to reach Rank 8!)"
Drake wanted Surtr to at the very least reach that Rank, so his powers when transformed, could reach the same height as Rank 10 G.o.ds.
For that reason, he had go to beyond his limits and even as his body was being constantly burned into ashes and regenerated again, he had to try!
"[Absolute Abyssal Blood World]! [Holy Sun]! [Flames of Beginnings]! [Winter Magic]!" Drake conjured three Divine Abilities together, and then imbued the powers of his Divine Spirit, Gabriel, into them. "[Celestial Dragon"s Heavenly Frost Star Shower]!"
Around his regenerating body, Drake conjured over a hundred miniature worlds imbued solely with pure and divine light! Gabriel"s shining divinity imbued into all of them!
With a furious roar, he fired all of them against the Flame Emperor at once, his gigantic blazing body started taking the damage, as enormous holes began to open across his ethereal self.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOMMM!!!
"UUURRGHHH…!" The Flame Emperor groaned, materializing a larger Gram and swinging it around, cutting down the stars falling over his body as he constantly regenerated almost endlessly. "Quite annoying, aren"t you?! You just can"t never GIVE UP, HUH?!"
With a furious roar, he generated yet another Gram, rushing towards Drake as his two Blazing Swords clashed against the Dragon King"s four Divine Weapons fused as a giant frost-made trident.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
Drake did his best to resist, unleashing more of his Stars alongiside waves of Time-stopping Sea Waves, but that was only bringing him so far, due to the spatial-distortion abilities, with his feeble understanding of the element of time, Drake"s spells could be easily stopped or blocked.
"Before being a Dragon King, you know what I am, Flame Emperor?!" Drake roared, his entire body constantly regenerating the deadly wounds he was tanking, his armor was melting and regenerating constantly as well!
However, the Flame Emperor suddenly felt… an incredible chill! His flames flickered, as a wave of incredibly powerful cold started spreading everywhere… Drake"s entire body started to change as well, his colorful scales changing to clear blue and silver colors, his heads combining together into a single, larger one.
His entire body covered in countless layers of st.u.r.dy as diamonds ice! The power of all his Ice Divinities and Divine Abilities combined together, his Divine Weapons further imbuing their power into him, and even the Frost Queen"s manifestation seemed to be lending him a part of her frost might.
"I am an Ice Dragon!"
With a gigantic ma.s.s of ice over his arm, Drake punched the Flame Emperor"s blazing body, crushing him into the ground, his ice melted constantly, but it also constantly regenerated, covering the Flame Emperor over and over again!
"RAAAAAHHH!!!"
"GRAAAAHHH!!!"
The roar of two powerful monarchs echoed across the entire Continent of Muspelheim, their clash of divinities reaching heights never seen before in thousands of years within this landscape!
Crack, crack… CRACK! Crack, crack…! CRAAASH!
However, Drake"s ice kept breaking, shattering, and melting! The Flame Emperor"s flames were slowly overpowering him at the end.
"Sadly for you, an Ice Dragon cannot beat the might of my flames!"
The Flame Emperor laughed, destroying all the ice above his body…
Only to be greeted by a gigantic ma.s.s of white flames!
"But he can."
Drake smiled, pointing at Surtr that had just arrived, his Aura exuding the power of a Rank 8 Divine Fire Dragon!
"I"m ready!"
"W-What?! He"s here?!"
The Flame Emperor suddenly stepped back as he tried to run away from the gigantic sphere of white flames, only for the flames to grow larger, engulfing him into a gigantic explosion!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The white flames battled against the black flames, like two forces that negated one another! However, with Drake"s support on his Flames of Beginning, the Flames of Origin from Surtr received an unexpected boost, further overwhelming the Flame Emperor!
"H-How come he has grown this powerful?! T-That d.a.m.n lizard…!"
The Flame Emperor battled the flames, struggling pointlessly as Surtr and Drake rushed towards him together now that he was weakened!
"Show him what you"ve got, kid!"
"I WILL!"
CLAAAAa.s.sSSH!
