Just as Drake was starting to think about how to stop the Flame Emperor once he got past his Winter Magic, Surtr arrived, having done the impossible and successfully evolving to Rank 8! His appearance looked almost the same as before, but he gained several golden-colored linings across his body, alongside a set of natural Scale Armor of gold color across his body, with three huge, golden colored horns above his head.
The Red Orb Fragment that he was holding, a gift of the Chief of the Fire Giant Village was now fused into his forehead, overflowing with great power that was given to him by the Fragment, who willingly imbued him with its divinity, while the Flame Emperor had to corrupt the fragments so they would obey him.
"So you're here! So what?! Another lizard in the frying pan won't make a difference! And your white flames are much weaker than mine! Your Mastery over the Origin Flames cannot be compared to my own over the Flames of the End!"
The Flame Emperor proudly regenerated the damage he was taking, his gigantic body made of Flames of the End kept spreading around, growing stronger as he consumed anything on his path, even his own army of Divine Beasts.
"I'll burn you two until nothing REMAINS! [Infernal Abyssal Flame Vortex]!"
With a furious, monstrous roar, the Titan of Flames unleashed three gigantic spiraling vortexes of Black Flames of the End, which flew directly towards the two Divine Dragons.
FLUOOOOOSSSH!
"Prepare yourself to receive it, Surtr!" Said Drake. "You know how to wield your powers better now, don't make the training we had go to waste, kid!"
"Understood!" Surtr roared, his Divinity of Origin Flames erupting from his body at an incredibly powerful pace, his hands quickly beginning to materialize a huge sword out of them, his own scales, blood, and the souls of the other Fire Dragons. "[Divine Blazing Soul Dragon Sword]: [Muspel]!"
The gigantic Divine Sword materialized with the help of his Unique Skill as well, the [Unique Skill: Heavenly Smith]! Drake knew that it was impossible for Surtr to ever catch up with his strength in the conventional ways, so he made sure to train him on using his unique abilities to his best capabilities.
"RAAAAAAHHH!"
With a furious dual roar, Drake and Surtr rushed across the two vortexes of Flames of the End fearlessly, slashing through them with their powerful Divine Weapons.
SLAAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
Two waves of Origin Flames and Flames of Beginning pierced through both vortexes, the Black Flames distorted and then exploded, opening the way for the Dragons to rush in, approaching the Flame Emperor.
"Wha…?!" The Flame Emperor felt slightly unease! "This can't be…! How come he… No, it's impossible for him to become a threat to me in such little time. The Dragon King's must be strong, but this kid, he's nobody for me to worry about!"
He quickly greeted the two Divine Dragons with his huge arms, clashing against them while unleashing constant spatial-severing slashes of black flames with his two Grams. However, Surtr's Muspel, carrying the might of several Divine Dragon Souls, was stronger!
"[Divine Blazing Dragon Soul Summoning]: [Infernal Dragon Triad Manifestation]!"
And Surtr wasn't done yet, unleashing yet another three Divine Dragon Souls out of his own body, the other three he had out of the six siblings that had joined him so far, their powers quickly merging into his own Aura, while at the same time materializing into a stronger armor above his body.
With this technique and the Muspel Sword, each slash coming from Surtr unleashed a catastrophic explosion of white flames, which dissipated and distorted the black flames of the Emperor. In fact, he was doing it so easily that the Emperor could no longer fake his composure!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
"W-What have you become?! How…?!"
Incapable of understanding how Surtr has gone so far with his understanding of the Origin Flames in just a few days since becoming a God, the Flame Emperor realized a large part of his Blazing Body was being corroded by white flames, slowly consuming his own self!
"Are you seriously asking how now?!" Drake laughed, showering the Emperor with Celestial Frozen Stars. "Because you're just wasting your time! The moment I appeared here, the fate of Surtr changed forever, Flame Emperor!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"UURGHH…!"
The Flame Emperor already had his hands full with evading and attacking Surtr, but Drake was still there pestering him with powerful blows that he could no longer afford to waste time on regenerating quickly!
As his body was already weakened as it is, Surtr rushed forward, attacking his back, and unleashing a barrage of powerful slashing strikes, each one sliced apart a piece of the Flame Emperor's blazing body, while making it explode, effectively making his own mass grow smaller!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"UAARGH…! Ugh! You damn brat! [Eight-Armed Abyssal Flames Asura]!"
The Flame Emperor's entire body quickly shapeshifted, leaving the form of a mere Fire Giant, and taking the appearance of an eight-armed herculean beast, his eight muscular arms made of flames unleashing a barrage of fist attacks that generated cataclysmic shockwaves! Surtr was forcefully pushed back!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"Urgh…! S-Shit! My armor's breaking apart already?!"
Surtr quickly realized he was being overwhelmed, he alone could not beat the Flame Emperor, but it wasn't as if he had gotten too self-conceited like before. He knew Drake as right there!
"Don't forget I'm right here, Flame Emperor! [Divine Frozen Sea Dragon King's Mighty Frost Fangs]!"
Combining the element of Winter Magic into his previous technique, Drake swung his combined Divine Weapons, now in the shape of a huge spear, as he pierced the Flame Emperor only once, but that single strike generated a gigantic explosion of frost and sea magic, engulfing half of his body into pure ice!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
"GRAAAAAHHH…!"
The Flame Emperor could not easily take such amount of damage from the back, even less as he had been weakened by Surtr severely already, his body started to crumble apart, his flames did not respond to him anymore!
"T-This is impossible…! It can't be…! ME?! Losing to some lizards?!"
"Well, you better believe it!"
Surtr roared furiously, descending from above and piercing the Flame Emperor's exposed soul with his blazing sword!
CRAAAAAASSSSH!!!
