Chapter 1698 The Trial Commences! Drake Against Five Fire t.i.tans!
-----
I was just planning on getting stronger and forge my Ascendancy Law and be done with it, but out of nowhere I was dragged into the Fire t.i.tan Realm, met Surtr, the Primordial Father of all the Fire t.i.tans, and I was dragged into an Arena floating over the d.a.m.n lava, forced to fight five Fire t.i.tans, or well, their Divine Souls alone.
But even then, this wasn"t just some random encounter! Although Fire t.i.tans brought most of their power from their physical bodies, their souls cannot be underestimated. Even if weakened without a physical body… All five of them must be at the same Rank as I am in terms of strength, Rank 10.
"Hey Surtr! Are you kidding me?! Do I really need to fight five of them?!" I asked the Father of the Fire t.i.tans.
The bearded man sat over a throne made out of a whole mountain, smiling maliciously at me.
"Heheh! What"s wrong?! Is the king of the lizards afraid of a little spar with my children?!" He laughed out loud.
The rest of the Fire t.i.tans around quickly started to laugh as well, lifting cups full of beer, and bringing out whole roasted soul beasts to enjoy the fight.
"Look, there"s only one rule!" he said. "Whoever falls into the lava loses, got it? You don"t need to destroy their souls or something. They don"t need to do it either, they can push you into the lava, all five of them, gahahaha!"
"This is unfair, no matter how much you see it!" I complained.
"Well, so what?! Grow some b.a.l.l.s! You asked me to turn your d.a.m.n soul into a Fire t.i.tan soul, you, a d.a.m.ned lizard!" he said. "You have to go through an equally ridiculous trial if I were to ever agree to such a stupid demand, don"t you think?!"
So he thinks I"ll just lose right away, this is why he agreed to it to begin with.
And to an extent, it truly feels like I am helpless.
In this form, I cannot access my Dragon Powers, nor most of my Divine Abilities.
Only things related to Ice and my t.i.tan Soul can be used, and Soul Gear.
The Five Fire t.i.tans in front of me laughed, crackling their knuckles. n.o.body brought weapons, they were all going to fight me with their fists and legs. There were two women and three males.
All of them were equally buffed, enormous, bulging muscles covered their entire gigantic bodies. I was still smaller than them. While they were six hundred meters tall, I was only five hundred.
This entire landscape, and the arena itself, were ma.s.sive landscapes on their own. And this must be the biggest volcano in all of Yggdrasil if it"s so huge it can have all of us and have plenty of s.p.a.ce left.
"What"s wrong, lizard? Are you afraid of your big siblings?"
"Hah! A lizard posing as an ice b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Now this is new!"
"What"s your end game, scaly? Do you truly believed our prideful family would give up our powers to you? HAH!"
"Better drop into the lava and save yourself the humiliation!"
"Yeah, just jump! Do it!"
I looked back into the lava, there were only a few dozen meters before I could fall there, I was right at the corner of the floating arena. And all five of them used most of the s.p.a.ce, the moment we fought, all five would come at me at once.
Yet can I really give up in this situation? I don"t know what could even happen to my soul if I lose this battle or fall into that lava.
And I don"t want to find out either.
"I"m not afraid of you," I said, smiling defiantly. "I was actually worried about your souls, it would be unfair for all of you to go against me. I was being merciful if anything."
The five t.i.tans looked at one another and then burst into laughter.
"Ppff hahahaha!"
"There"s no way, what with this f.u.c.ker?!"
"Hahaha! He"s hilarious!"
"Okay now do a backflip, you f.u.c.king dog- UGH?!"
And I used that opportunity to my advantage.
The moment they started to laugh, I charged towards them without wasting a single second.
Yeah, five against one? I"m going to play dirty without a shred of a doubt.
f.u.c.k this!
{Eternal Azure Ice t.i.tan"s Soul Psyche}!
FLUOSH!
Azure Ice Essence flowed through my entire Soul together, as my arms grew ten times as large, reinforced with my Divine Power and my related Divinities.
And I struck one of them, the smallest of the male t.i.tans, with a short white beard and a bald head, I struck his face clean.
BAAAM!
"Uagh?! What the…?!"
Before he could react in time, I stepped forward, evaded one of his arms encompa.s.sed on flames by ducking, and then punched his stomach ten times.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"GAAH?!"
He vomited blood out of nowhere, before I quickly evaded another attack, flames coming from his mouth, a beam of pure all-burning soul flare struck my shoulder, a piece of my soul was lost.
BOOOM!
But I didn"t care, I managed to evade him hitting my head, enough for me to kick his chin and send him flying hundreds of meters away.
CRASH!
As he fell from the skies, I materialized a pair of dragon-like wings from ice, flew into the skies and kicked him down into the lava.
"N-No! Wait, you miserable sc.u.m!"
"f.u.c.k off."
SPLAAASH!
One down, four to go.
The scene suddenly felt as if it had frozen in time.
The Fire t.i.tans stopped drinking and eating, even Surtr dropped his jaws in shock.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you have no honor or pride as a warrior?!"
"The battle had yet to start!"
"Yeah! You f.u.c.k!"
"f.u.c.king c.u.n.t! That doesn"t count!"
The four t.i.tans started complaining as I looked down at them.
"Surtr said there was only one rule, and the moment we stepped into the arena, the battle had already begun… Or are you going to start whining and saying its unfair? Five against one is unfair against you? So I was right then!"
"Hah… HAHAHAH!"
Surtr only laughed.
"Go on, my children, fight and stop whining!"
I rushed down to confront all four of them.
The Fire t.i.tans flared with their divinities.
CLAAASH!
