Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
Chapter 1948: Surtr's True PowerSurtr slowly opened his eyes, realizing he was over the burnt ground, a second ago he had been teleported away into Drake's Divine Realm, and a second after, he was here.
It seemed that keeping him and everyone else inside his Divine Realm would've been an insult to them, as Drake would have not even given them a chance to battle and would have simply kept them protected as if they were useless on their own.
This was a logic that was easily understood by Surtr and the rest, as he slowly stood up, his energies fluctuated around his body, he had a large wound on his left shoulder, the venerable had used a blazing spear to pierce it as he tried to kill him.
"Nngh..."
He quickly used his own body as a material with his Unique Skill [Heavenly Smith], and by spending some Divine Power...
FLUOSH!
His flesh mended together, using his own blood and flesh as an ingredient to "fix" himself, Surtr had already trained enough that even using his own body as a material was more than possible.
His scales, claws, blood, fangs, horns, and even his own bones were all "materials" for him, and easily available all across his body.
Of course, the strongest power he had wasn't just this...
"Surtr! Are you alright?""Oh, you healed yourself."
Two ghostly, spiritual dragons manifested around him, one of them resembled a huge wyvern-like fire dragon with bright red scales, and the other, a serpentine and wingless fire dragon with dark red scales and a serpent-like head.
Both were old Fire Dragons that had died many years ago, which Surtr was able to summon after being tested by him through special challenges inside the Draconic Records.
As the last Fire Dragon, his mother, Muspel, decided to give Surtr access to the souls of his siblings, which helped him as spirit-like beings.
With his unique skill, Surtr was able to not only bring their power out but combine their souls into his own body or his weapons, armor, and skills, granting him an incredible edge over
every other dragon, even Drake.
"Brother Adrahunn, Sister Drannia...!" Surtr muttered. "I am alright now, thank you. I need to quickly find everyone else though!"
"They're over there, Surtr, and they're fine. The Dragon King protected everyone. That bastard is really carrying you all! Dammit..."
He heard the voice of an annoyed older brother, as he saw the gigantic and intimidating ghostly figure of Asmodeus, one of the strongest Fire Dragons to have ever existed.
After Surtr completed the Trial of the Flame Venerable, Surtr had to fight him on the last battle, at first Asmodeus seemed villainous and evil, but revealed himself to be only trying to help Surtr grow stronger.
When Surtr completed the trial and defeated him, Asmodeus revealed he was actually looking to help him grow stronger and inherited what was left of his powers into Surtr, making him much stronger than before, by not only just boosting his cultivation, but giving him new powers, skills, and making his divine core three times as big and stronger, gifting him tremendous talent.
"Don't call him a bastard, he saved our lives and..."
"And so what, Surtr?! You're supposed to be our pride and joy, and yet you almost got killed if it wasn't because of what happened!"
"I was fighting a Venerable, what else did you want me to do?! I did everything I-"
"No you didn't! Look, that mentality is what makes you look and act so pathetic! Stop looking down on yourself, Surtr!"
"What?"
"Don't you understand what I am trying to tell you?! You're much, much stronger than you actually believe! But it is your own mental limitations that are making you feel weaker than you actually are!"
"I have used all my power, how stronger do you even think I am?! I have...!"
"I am being serious, Surtr."
Asmodeus glared at Surtr with eyes full of anger, he was definitely that type of big brother.
"If you continue being this pathetic, I will take over your body and show you how it's done. And I might not even give it back to you."
"W-What?! You wouldn't!"
Surtr was shocked, his brother was acting all villainous again.
And he acted and spoke so seriously that it was rather hard to guess if he was for real or not!
And yet...
"I am serious."
"Ugh..."
Surtr glanced at his brother, his eyes full of anger.
Asmodeus knew that by pushing him this far, Surtr could grow and surpass his limits.
He had to literally threaten him like this.
But it worked when he fought against him, Surtr unleashed a power that surpassed him.
"Even before we met, you and your master defeated that Flame Emperor, that monster was Rank 10 already you know?! He was incredibly strong! And you beat him."
"I know..."
"And then you beat even me, and you inherited my power! You think my power is nothing?!"
"No brother I..."
"Surtr, focus!"
"What?!"
"Focus, you damn brat!"
Asmodeus punched Surtr's face with his soul, pushing him to the ground.
"What is exactly clouding your damn mind right now?!"
"I'm...!"
"Tell me right now!"
"I'm scared of losing everyone..."
"I don't want everyone to die..."
Surtr started shedding a few tears, his claws were trembling.
Despite how strong he was...
Deep down, he was still a young lad.
In his previous life he lost his entire family to the flames...
Only his sister survived, barely.
Now that he finally had another family, he didn't want to lose them.
This fear constantly lingering within his heart, made him weaker.
"I see... so you're still a pathetic little toddler. Maybe I shouldn't had even bothered with
you."
"What?!"
"I'll take over your body."
"No... Stop...!"
"I'll do it! You're just a damn crybaby!"
Asmodeus rapidly began infusing his soul into Surtr, as the two started battling with their
own bare souls.
"W-What are you doing at this time, brother?! S-Stop...! Stop it!"
"I won't stop until you grow the hell up! If you're afraid they're going to die, then step up and become a man! Fight like their protector! Like a King would do!"
"But Drake's..."
"I don't give a fuck about Drake! You're you, and you're going to become the strongest, fuck
all the other motherfuckers!"
"S-STOP...! STOP THIS NOW!!!"
RUMBLE!
TRUUUMMM!!!
And at that moment, Surtr released it all.
The entire continent of Muspelheim trembled at that moment.
Drake, Pandemonium, and even the Venerable of Flames all glared towards his direction.
The level of power they felt...
It was like nothing ever before!
