Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1957: Surtr's Family 1

Chapter 1957: Surtr's Family 1

RUMBLE!

The ground around the ruined inheritance building trembled, giant cracks opened

everywhere, the earth itself suddenly became alive. Seas of molten rock surged from the floor, shaped like ma.s.sive mountains that began erupting with fiery flames and meteors everywhere all across the surroundings.

At the same time, ma.s.sive monsters rose from all the destruction, thousands of Divine Monsters that lived under the crust of the continent. They held all sorts of aberrant shapes, most of them were almost chimeric in appearance, roaring and monstrous.

"ROOOAARRR!"

Monstrous beasts emerged by the tens of thousands, no, hundreds of thousands! Most of the Divine Monsters were between Rank 8 to Rank 10, the fiercest and most monstrous of them all.

And amidst this endless awakening of a gigantic horde of monsters that could overrun entire continents, a group led by two Fire Giantesses ran across this infernal h.e.l.l of roars and destruction.

"Surtr! Where are you?!"

"Surtr! SURTR!"

The two Fire Giant girls were n.o.body else than Surtr's wives, the twins Mina and Nadia, whose large and tall bodies towered above most trees, letting them see vastly across the horizon.

When the whole explosion happened and the Inheritance's internal s.p.a.ce collapsed because of Drake and Pandemonium's clash, they were sent flying away, separated from Surtr.

And now, these twins, leading Jamar, the Myconid Hero, Agni, the Fire Giant Oracle and Leona, his Sister, ran across this infernal h.e.l.l as they sought Surtr, their leader.

"He's nowhere to be seen!" Nadia said. "What the h.e.l.l is going on?!"

"I don't know, but I felt his presence just now!" Mina said. "He must be closer somewhere!"

"Woah! W-What's that?!" Jamar cried, pointing into the distance as he stood over Nadia's left shoulder. "L-Look!"

The little Myconid's alarmed voice quickly put everyone in alarm as well, as they glanced into the skies, noticing a gigantic ring of red flames.

And Surtr was floating within it, surrounded by thousands of souls that merged with it.

"T-That's... Surtr!" Mina cried.

"Dear!" Nadia muttered.

As they saw their husband floating above the skies, the ring suddenly flashed with bright crimson light, fusing into his own body and giving him tremendous power.

FLAAASH!

A huge explosion of red light erupted, covering the skies themselves. Even the monsters chasing everyone suddenly stopped moving, as they were paralyzed by the might of this being.

A being that suddenly became the pillar of this world, just like that!

Surtr himself!

"W-What did he do?!" Agni asked. "Lord Surtr...! He... He absorbed that ring?!"

"T-This is...!" Leona muttered. "Wait, I know what just happened! Surtr... He ascended into a Venerable?! That was definitely an Ascendancy Law Ring!"

"W-What?!" Agni asked in disbelief. "How do you even know that sister?"

"Don't you remember the statues and drawings of the Savage Sun Flare Venerable we have?" Asked Leona. "He's depicted with seven rings of flames behind his body, these rings represent his power and authority as our supreme king... And the Elder said they were called Ascendancy Law Rings, they represent the Laws that the Venerable wielded... S-Surtr... Lord Surtr just got one of those himself!"

"N-No way, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d really did it?!" Nadia gasped, smiling with happiness. "Yes! He really did it! Holy f.u.c.king s.h.i.t! Let's goooooo!"

"W-Wow..." Mina muttered. "I just can hardly believe it! W-When did he even had the materials for that?! Didn't it take everything Uncle Drake had to get one for himself? But... Wait a moment! The Fire Dragon Souls, they helped him!"

"T-They did?!" Nadia asked. "What do you mean by that? I don't get it..."

"Ugh sister, can't you think a bit more?!" Asked Mina. "It's quite obvious that he used the Fire Dragon Souls as part of his Ascendancy Law, even his mother, the strongest fire dragon had a powerful soul, and it fused with it!"

"E-EEEEH?!"

Everyone else couldn't believe what just happened! But indeed, Mina had correctly guessed it. Unlike Drake that had to prepare a lot to ascend, Surtr was able to skip the necessity for materials and more as the Fire Dragon Souls, thousands of them, became the materials for his Ascendancy Law.

"B-But why?! Isn't that Surtr's whole family?!" Jamar asked. "W-Will they be okay?"

"I don't know..." Muttered Mina. "But we have to get going, he's close by! And... I think he's fighting the Venerable on his own!"

"On his own?!" Nadia asked. "We have to quickly find him then! As his family, it is our responsibility to fight by his side!"

As they charged forward, however, they were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of rabid Divine Monsters, from Rank 8 to Rank 10!

The Rank 10 Divine Monsters were the biggest, most of them resembling either aberrant tentacled abominations made of fire, flesh, and stone, or giant metallic golems with lava and magma on their bodies. Some even resembled dragons, but were dragon-type monsters instead, although just as intimidating and gigantic.

"W-We're surrounded!" Jamar muttered, unsheathing his blade. "We have to fight through if we want to reach Master Surtr!"

"C-Can we even win against so many?!" Nadia cried. "We have to run instead! I hate to admit it as a warrior but...!"

"You're not wrong, this is madness, some of them are Rank 10 too!" Mina said. "And-

Aaaaah!"

However, the Divine Monsters didn't wait for them to stop talking, charging forward by the hundreds, and attacking everyone from every angle.

"S-s.h.i.t!"

Nadia roared furiously as she turned into her t.i.tan form, clashing against dozens of Divine Monsters on her own, swinging her giant axe and cutting through their scales and armor. The Rank 8 easily died before her attacks, and the Rank 9 were heavily damaged, but the Rank 10?

"GRUOOOHHH!"

Unscathed!

They attacked her together, Giant Ore Metal Golems, Blazing Draconic Beasts, and Infernal Flame Aberrations charged together, controlled by a single will that told them to eliminate

all enemies.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"UUGGHH...!"

Nadia gritted her teeth as she was being battered from every angle, only for her sister to leap into action, using her Healing White Dragon Flames to heal her wounds and strengthen her

stats.

"Sister! We must open the way for the rest to escape!" Mina said. "Once they get to Surtr, he'll

come save us!"

"Y-You're right!" Nadia roared. "Jamar, you have to-"

FLAAASH!

As they were filled with despair, suddenly, an explosion of golden divine flames emerged

from Jamar.

"We're not running!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And out of nowhere, the little mushroom cut through the flesh of the Blazing Draconic Beast,

killing it on the spot with his little sword!

"W-What the...!?"

"Huh?!"

The two sisters were left speechless as they were unable to comprehend what just happened!

Jamar was indeed strong, but not this strong!

Until they saw him, within the little Myconid's Aura, it was Surtr's appearance, his draconic

face, and his gentle smile.

"Master Surtr has not abandoned us!" Jamar felt his power flowing through him. "His

ascension has only further deepened our bonds!"

FLAAASH!

And as he said that Nadia, Mina, Agni, and Leona felt their powers rising, as the Cla.s.ses that

Surtr had given to them related to his own Draconic Powers ascended alongside him.

His evolved flames and his new powers flowed through their bodies, as new blazing armor

covered them, and their weapons were upgraded into stronger forms too!

They felt Surtr's very soul and presence within them now.
