"Cower in fear before my might, you filthy BEASTS!" Laughed the Flame Emperor.
His blazing sword made out of Muspel's vertebrae clashed against her gigantic, blazing body, leaving several slashing wounds infected with black flames.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Tch! Do you think that because you're beating me with my own bones, I'll just lose?!"
Muspel roared, unifying her powers with Surtr, Mina, Nadia, and even Jamar, their divinities fusing together into the mother of all fire dragons as her gigantic claws clashed against the Flame Emperor's blazing bone sword.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAAASSSH!
Shockwaves of Origin Flames and Flames of Demise constantly erupted into the entire landscape, shaking the whole continent, a battle between titans would be too little of an allegory for this mighty fight!
However, the Flame Emperor slowly started to gain the upper hand after a frenetic exchange of blows. Benladann, Miranda, and the two of Drake's daughters constantly attempted to get into the battle and help Muspel, but the Flame Emperor manipulated space around him by expanding a powerful Domain, keeping them busy by forcing them to either block or evade powerful bone blades covered on Primordial Flames of Demise.
And as for Drake? Well, he was right above him, descending at a high speed!
"Hey, are you forgetting about the Dragon King? How rude of you."
His gigantic body descended like a meteor coated on Flames of Beginning, as the furious bone-made behemoth roared back at Drake, the one he hated the most!
"COME! I'LL CRUSH YOUR STUPID FACE!"
The Flame Emperor suddenly ignored Muspel and everyone else, leaping into the skies to strike Drake with all his might, the powers the bones of Muspel granted to him put him into the category of someone at least comparable to a Rank 11!
"Come on now, don't say that, you're breaking my heart!"
Drake laughed, as the Flame Emperor unleashed a storm of Black Flames, enough to turn into ashes a whole mountain!
"DIEEEE!"
BOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The only thing that should had been left after that were mere ashes, and even Drake could not regenerate if there were only ashes left! At the very least, the Flame Emperor expected him to be a burning mass of flesh and finish him off.
He pointed his sword at the black smoke cloud and pierced, making sure he would kill Drake with all his might through this attack!
CRAAAAASSSH!
However, his strike was stopped by a powerful pair of silver-scaled claws, the smoke dissipating to reveal that Drake's body was completely unscathed, and that the Black Flames of Demise covering his body were being absorbed easily, as if they were nourishment to him.
"Huh?!"
The Flame Emperor suddenly felt a shiver down his phantasmal spine. His soul quivered, recalling the pain he felt when Drake extracted a large piece of his powers and divinity… Now, he finally realized that he didn't just stole his Divine Power.
"Please, keep showering me more with those delicious flames. I just can't get enough."
"W-What…?! Y-You…! Don't tell me…!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell you! [Divine Dragon King Battle Arts]: [One Thousand Meteoric Dragon Fists]!"
With a mocking laugh, Drake's fists reached the Flame Emperor's bone-made behemoth body, countless of scaled fists pierced his body, quickly spreading countless cracks and even shattering large chunks off it!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAAASSSH!
"GRUUUUAAAAGHH…!"
With a scream of utter disbelief and agony, the Flame Emperor was pummeled into the ground below! His titanic body landing on the ground and spreading countless cracks across the earth, the continent of Muspelheim once more shook as if the end of the world was about to come!
BAAAAAMMMM…!
"U-Urggh…! My body is not regenerating either?!" The Flame Emperor muttered. "No, wait, my Flames! The black flames that keep this whole body unified; they've been eaten?!"
"Burp." Drake smiled while licking his sharp fangs. "What a good meal, they have quite the smoky flavor to them, and a bit bitter, but the spiciness make up for it too."
"Y-You…! Don't tell me you…!" The Flame Emperor slowly stood up, his power flaring with fury.
Everyone else glanced at his glorious figure in shock, not only Drake seemed completely immune to the Black Flames, but he was able to devour them and absorb their power…
"Drake… did he…?!" Surtr muttered.
"So that's what he got, huh?" Benladann laughed.
"Interesting." Miranda giggled.
"Papa's awesome!" Benladra celebrated.
"Wow." Kate was surprised.
"Drake…? He acquired the Black Flames? No way!" Surtr was in utter awe.
"Y-You… Those powers you possess! I can tell now; I can finally tell why that damn Green is so cautious of you!" The Flame Emperor stepped back, gripping his sword tightly. "But can you stop me before I take the life of your loved ones?!"
He suddenly decided to rush towards his daughters, pointing his sword towards them and materializing ten more, firing them all at once!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"Hahaha! While he rushes to protect his daughters, I'll strike him from behind and crush his soul while I am at it!"
The Flame Emperor knew that even if Drake could wield his flames, both were immune to such flames, so he still couldn't hurt him as badly as Muspel, who was already being pushed back a lot!
This was the perfect opportunity to take him down by abusing his own naivety.
Or so he thought.
"[Cosmic Veil]! [Celestial Domain]!"
Benladra spread out a veil of cosmic light, resembling countless stars, at the same time as a dome of pure light encompassed her and her sister, protecting them from the projectiles!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"What?!"
The powerful domain and veil fused together easily managed to protect the girls from the powerful projectiles, making the Flame Emperor realize that the power he lost from Drake's [Divinity Absorption] was much more substantial than he had previous imagined.
"T-This is…!"
"[Divine Dragon King Battle Arts]: [Soul Piercing Divine Spear Tail]!"
Drake descended at a meteoric speed towards the Flame Emperor his sharp tail piercing through his entire body dozens of times, leaving countless holes across!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASSSH!
And each blow not only started to destroy his vessel but shattered his soul into pieces!
"AAAAARRRGGHHH..!"
"Don't look down on my family!"
With his giant fist, the Dragon King blew up the whole face of the Flame Emperor!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
