"Haaah… Haaah… Ugh."
Surtr slowly stood back up again, glancing into the distance as Mina and Nadia were distracting Ignisefer for a few seconds, to buy him time so he could stand back up and fight that thing again.
"Now I can finally feel like you do, master… These drawn out fights you always go through, against such impossibly strong foes… Fights that seem to never end, where you're constantly struggling, pushing yourself, and regenerating yourself constantly… So this is how it feels."
Surtr walked forward, each of his steps becoming faster and faster, at the same time as his resolve became stronger. His Aura emerged from his body, resembling his entire Fire Dragon Family.
His dear brother and sisters, the first few Souls he met, and the ones that helped him and protected him at the beginning of his journey as a Fire Dragon.
And then of Muspel and Asmodeus, the new mother he had in this world, who always guided him, and of his oldest and strongest brother, who gave him a great challenge, and taught him several lessons.
They couldn't speak right now; they had become an expression of his power. In exchange for becoming power itself and being unable to die no matter how many times Surtr bring them out, their autonomy disappeared, becoming just power, energy.
But he knew that they were glancing at him with expectation, they had sacrificed their everything just for him… Surtr simply couldn't disappoint them.
"I cannot falter… After all, I got you all watching over for me, right?"
As he looked behind, he didn't just saw them, but more of them, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands… millions.
"Just how many were there? I only thought there were a few thousand but… millions?!"
There was once a time where the Fire Dragons thrived the most, when Muspelheim was a Realm of boundless resources and land to conquer, the Fire Dragons lived in prosperity, over a million of them.
And now, all of those souls, over one million of them, were within his Ascendancy Law, they made up for everything he lacked, without them, he would have never qualified to ever become a Venerable.
He didn't do this by his effort alone, but by carrying the legacy that they had already built with their own blood and efforts.
"I carry all you've accomplished, everything you've done until now… My family. I will not disappoint you."
Surtr smiled pridefully, spreading his wings, as the souls wrapped around his body constantly, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
His muscles grew larger, his wings even bigger, his entire body reached an even stronger stage. Experience new stories on Freewebnovel
"{Ultimate Form: Stage 2}"
In this moment, Surtr stacked three hundred thousand divine fire dragon souls into his entire body, using his Forge Skill to fuse with them and…
FLAAASH!
Unleash a new form altogether, a second stage to his Ultimate Form!
His eyes blazed with conviction, with a new pair of muscular arms, more wings, ten tails, and even eyes and a jaw on his chest and stomach, he had reached a point where some could say he was more of a monster than a dragon.
And they wouldn't be too wrong, the more he unleashed this power, the more he evolved into something else, something beyond dragons.
"Let's do this."
FLASH!
Within a split second, he disappeared, moving at lightning speed, or even faster than that, he reached the kaiju once more, who was destroying Nadia and Mina's Battle Aura.
"Face me!"
As he roared at the monster, the beast grinned viciously, roaring back and releasing several short-burst breath attacks as Surtr fled across the skies.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Surtr avoided them all, while he summoned a second sword, and both of his swords were upgraded even further, growing longer, and bigger.
"Let's do this once more, everyone."
As he said that, he could see the silhouettes, the ghostly souls of his family accompanying him, hugging him and becoming his strength, forevermore.
"GRRRHHHH!"
As he drew closer, the kaiju's tail and its claw reached him, both blazing with the incredibly potent, space-warping aura of the primordial beast.
Surtr… closed his eyes.
And as he held both swords, he pointed them at him.
"{Heavenly Fire Dragon Soul Legion Blade Arts}: {Thousand-Fold Inferno}!"
Once more, he used the technique again.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Thousands of slashing attacks reached the monster, and yet they were only doing tiny scratches even at full power.
But then…
"{Thousand-Fold Inferno Echo}"
Surtr's attack stopped for a moment, as everything around him and in the world itself seemed to freeze over.
And only flames burned.
"{Myriad-Fold Inferno}"
There wasn't any slash at all this time, as Surtr's attack was already unleashed upon Ignisefer.
"GRRH?!"
And the monster's eyes widened in that moment.
SLASH!
A single slash was all it could see, and yet…
In the area of impact…
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Countless slashes exploded in a split second!
"GRAAAAGGH?!"
The small scratch quickly turned into a deep, bloody wound!
Ignisefer pulled back its tail in pain as it saw its own, boiling blood for the first time in eons, and then as its claws reached Surtr…
SLASH!
The same thing happened again, as a single slash from his two swords exploded into thousands of accumulated slashes.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"GRYYYAAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
Ignisefer roared furiously and painfully, as the tip of one of its claws was sliced apart, blood splattering everywhere.
"I'll be taking that!"
Surtr grabbed the tip of one of its claws, as big as a hundred meters of height.
It was a titanic-sized material!
Surtr smiled, as Ignisefer greeted him with a devastating breath attack.

FLAAASH!
