Surtr, Nadia, and Mina entered with a bang! Blazing flames surging with each of their attacks, as every Dark Myconid and Mushroom Monster inside the tower was being burned one after another, relentlessly pushing forward with each step.
In a matter of a few minutes, the trio managed to reach the top of the tower, as they broke through intricate puzzling mazes made of magic and broke through all sorts of magic traps, even mighty monsters as high as Rank 6, which granted plentiful of Experience Points to Surtr, helping him gain several Levels, and reinforcing his Mana Core as a result.
Leaving a path of purifying flames, Surtr and the twins stepped in, kicking the last door where Trafalh was presumably waiting for them. They had indeed taken a bit of time to get here, so Surtr already started to suspect he must have ran away somewhere else…
However, to their surprise, he was right there, sitting over a throne made out of mummified Myconid corpses stuck together, the old Myconid resembled the others from the village, but much thinner, and covered on purple and black crystals growing out of his chest and extending all across his body, one of his eyes was missing, replaced by a red crystal glowing with powerful magic energy.
"So you've come…" He spoke, exuding a tremendous chaotic and dark aura like Surtr and the twins had never confronted before.
Within his body, there was a powerful entity supplying him with endless quantities of chaotic energies, so powerful they disrupted their surroundings, the floor and walls were slowly melting away…
"You must be Trafalh…" Surtr said. "You're the one behind what's has been happening with the Guardian of the Mountain?!"
"Well, I've been waiting for you for a while, Surtr, the last Fire Dragon." Trafalh smiled maliciously. "As if it wasn't obvious enough, yes, it was me. I don't really have anything to hide from you."
"Bastard…!" Nadia roared.
"Why are you trying to harm everyone so much?!" Mina cried.
"Wait, you know my name?" Surtr reacted slightly late.
"Yes, of course I know it." Laughed Trafalh. "I've been observing you ever since you hatched from that egg. Time and time again I tried to bring those monsters to kill you and those pesky Fire Giants, yet over and over again you managed to survive, and grew even stronger… It was frustrating. I knew you would get in my way eventually, pitiful lizard."
His eyes glowed with bright red energy, as a Myconid, he possessed Psychic Abilities, and one of them, which he developed with his new dark magic was "Clairvoyance" the power to see farther into the vastness of time and space.
"So you're the one that has been trying to kill me?! You're the one that brought the monsters…" Surtr grew furious, his blazing aura surging endlessly as flames spread across his surroundings. "You bastard… Even when the majority survived… there were many innocent people that died on those attacks from wild monsters…"
"Hah, as if I were to care." Trafalh laughed. "My goals are beyond your feeble understanding. I will purge the Guardian of this Sacred Mountain and absorb his powers! Like that, I shall ascend to a God, and finally decide my own fate. My strength has already vastly surpassed yours. I have humored you with a last taste of victory with my pitiful minions, but this is as far as your journey will bring you, Fire Dragon Surtr!"
His aura of darkness and chaos kept spreading everywhere, as gigantic tentacles and red eyes emerged from his chaotic aura. The might of the ancient entity that was fused into his body constantly being exuded and manifested!
"As if I were to let you do that, bastard!!!" Surtr roared, channeling the Souls of his siblings he had imbued into each Skill.
A heavy and powerful Scale Armor surged all over his body. His wings grew several times larger, overflowing with draconic soul flames. His flame magic was boosted greatly, as his own mother, Muspelheim, imbued her might and knowledge into such magic. His eyes glowed with the might and wise gleam of an ancient brother, and even his claws glowed with golden light, the sharpness of an old sister imbued into them.
"RAAAHHHH!!!"
Surtr didn't wait a single other second, rushing towards Trafalh to beat him to death. His wings flapping so fast they exuded powerful shockwaves that spread flames everywhere. Nadia and Mina could naturally resist flames as Fire Giants, and because they became half-dragons, they were completely immune.
"[Chaos Barrier]!"
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
Surtr's claws reached a barrier made of pure chaos, as the barrier was covered on countless slashing blows. Origin Flames and fierce Divine Flames spread out everywhere, but couldn't pierce through the barrier!
"Useless! Your brutish behavior will not help you this time!" Laughed Trafalh. "I am clearly a superior being than you! I have become stronger than dragons themselves! Buwahahahaha!!! [Chaos Beam]!"
TRUUUUUUUMMMM…!
A gigantic beam of spiraling chaos broke through his chaos barrier and reached Surtr in an instant, pushing him away with a tremendous explosion!
"UUUAARRGHH…!"
BOOOOOOOMMMMM…!
Surtr landed over the floor, his chest completely burnt and covered on miasma, the dragon scale armor barely helped him not die from the impact alone!
"U-Unnggh…! Shit…" Surtr gritted his sharp fangs, realizing he was too reckless.
"[White Dragon Flames Magic]: [Revitalizing White Dragon Breath]!" Mina came to the rescue, her magic summoning the enormous head of a dragon which covered Surtr with a revitalizing white flame breath.
FLUOOSH!
His wounds quickly recovered, as Surtr stood back up, thanking Mina while glancing at what Nadia was doing! She was not much different than him, as she was constantly trying to out speed Trafalh and land a hit behind his Chaos Barrier!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"AHAHAHA! It is all useless! I'll show you the power! The power that my tribe neglected; the might that will make our pathetic species ascend into much higher beings!" Trafalh summoned three enormous black magic circles in a single second, unleashing an even bigger attack. "[Chaotic Blast]!"
BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
"NADIA!!!"
