"Stop this, you bastard!" A mighty roar came from behind Asmodeus, as Leona stepped in, still healing the wounds that Asmodeus' first barrage of attacks had produced, as her powers erupted from her.
Agni was right behind her as well, imbuing her with the power of his Divine Ability, temporarily awakening her Divine Ability to their maximum Rank.
"[Divine Mythical Beast Spirit Manifestation]!"
FLUOOOSH!
A gigantic lion of over a hundred meters of height surged from Leona's Divine Aura, rushing towards Asmodeus and grabbing his legs, biting them with all their strength!
CRAASH!
"Hmph, is this all you can do, fire giants?" Asmodeus looked at Leona with a feeling of disappointment. "Your Ancestor would be so very disappointed. Fire Titans used to be in equal terms with us Dragons… I supposed not anymore!"
CRAAAASSHH!!
With a powerful attack from his spear, the giant lion was pierced on its head, quickly exploding into flames and disappearing!
The shockwave alone sent Leona flying away, yet she didn't fall either, she grabbed the floor with her claws, as her Spiritual Powers kept rising.
"Urgh…! Not… not yet!"
Her body was quickly covered on her Spiritual Powers, that Divine Beast Spirit she could summon had been accompanying her since she was very young.
She was born in her village as a talented warrioress and spirit magician, and was praised by everyone… yet, because she wasn't born with the Red Orb Fragment, she wasn't given the title of an Oracle.
Back then, she often thought that she deserved it for her strength and talent, yet, when Agni was finally born, she realized what True Talent truly was…
And his powers were now allowing her to have a chance, even if minuscule, to fight even harder and to protect Lord Surtr, the Dragon that might eventually lead the entire continent of Muspelheim!
"I cannot give up yet, I have to buy Lord Surtr some time!" Leona thought, her eyes flaring with flames of conviction.
The power of her Lion Beast Spirit flared from her body, covering her entirely and making her resemble a Lioness Beast Woman, with the red skin, size, and muscles of a Fire Giant.
"RAAAH!"
She rushed towards Asmodeus, clashing against him with her claws! Each of her attacks released explosions of spiritual energy, yet the Fire Dragon seamlessly blocked her attacks as he glanced her with eyes filled with… boredom.
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!
"Urgh! Hitting him feels like hitting an unmovable wall! How was even Lord Surtr capable of dealing damage to this monster?!" Leona was utterly shocked to realize none of her attacks could even leave a scratch on Asmodeus.
"Your bravery is commendable, but you're pathetically weak."
With a mere wave of his claws, an explosion of volcanic flames surged from his Divine Aura, Leona's entire transformation was stopped as her half-burnt body was sent flying, hitting the walls and slowly sliding into the ground.
BAAAAMMM!!!
"U-Urgh…!"
"SISTER!"
Agni ran towards her, barely. His entire body was also all wounded and tattered, even as Mina had conjured her magic to heal everyone, the wounds that Asmodeus caused were very severe, imbued with his Divine Powers, making them hard to heal.
TRUM! TRUM! TRUM!
Asmodeus walked towards Agni, his claws beginning to generate molten lava, dropping over the floor as he moved towards them.
"Sister and brother, huh? Oh well, pray so your next lives are not born in this world, it's doomed with weaklings like you."
His claws overflowed with flames, reaching them in a split of a second.
"[White Dragon Flame Magic]: [Divine White Dragon Flames Scale Shield]!"
CLAAAASSSHHH!!!
"Huh?!"
As Agni and Leona hugged one another, hoping for the worst, a barrier made of spiraling golden and white flames emerged in front of Asmodeus, stopping his claws from killing his foes.
"Another one, huh?"
A smile surged on his lips as he glanced at the brave young Fire Giant behind him, the "healer" he had been ignoring so far, wasn't just a healer.
Her body size had now grown almost as big as her sister, putting herself in front of her while healing her, as her staff glowed with bright white flames.
"I'm not just a healer… I am the Saintess of Origin Flames…! My purpose is to guide the last Fire Dragon, and I am no pushover!" She groaned, gritting her teeth. "[White Dragon Flame Magic]: [Binding White Dragon Flames]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, white flames wrapped around Asmodeus entire body, inhibiting his movements. The flames endlessly kept growing larger and larger as he forcefully torn them apart with his sheer physical strength.
"This useless binding spell has no effect on me!"
Asmodeus, however, forcefully broke the spell, destroying the coiling dragon made of white flames and quickly opening his jaws, directing them towards Mina.
"Okay, I admit you're alright, but that doesn't mean shit anyways." Asmodeus laughed, unleashing a destructive breath attack!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
However, Mina counted it with her own magic! "[White Dragon Flames Magic]: [Divine Holy Celestial Flames Breath]!"
"ROOOAAARRR!"
Her flames shaped into a gigantic and majestic dragon made of Celestial Holy Flames, the evolution of her White Flames, which costed even more Mana and Divine Power to conjure!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
Both breath attacks clashed against one another, unleashing a devastating explosion that covered most of the room with both white and dark red flames!
Mina naturally shielded everyone with her shields, while Asmodeus found himself covered on wounds!
"Did you just damage me?!" Asmodeus was shocked. "Hoh, maybe I should really put some effort into this!"
"I-I'll fight too!" Nadia quickly stood back up, cleaning the blood from her face. "I cannot give up now, I can't! We have to keep fighting to protect our husband, and our children!"
Her powers surged from her body as Mina nodded, their Auras combining together, clashing against Asmodeus!
The two powerful wives of Surtr were not going to give up, even as their husband was unconscious on the floor, knocked out.
CLAAASH!
"What… is that sound?"
CRAASH!
"Ahh… Everyone… is fighting without me…"
BOOOM!
"They're going to die…"
CLAAASH!
"Asmodeus is too strong… I can't win…"
Surtr was lamenting his weakness, as he started to think it was utterly hopeless…
Yet, deep down, the thought of losing the ones he loved… Was unbearable.
"No…!"
BOOOM!
"I can't give up!"
CRAAASH!
"No fucking way I can!"
"Surtr, take our power. Do not mind our soul exhaustion, it doesn't matter at all!"
Suddenly, he heard Muspel's voice.
"Save your family's lives!"
"Okay!"
Surtr quickly stood back up, the six souls of his Divine Fire Dragon siblings fusing into his body, including Muspel this time as well!
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
"What…?!"
Asmodeus glanced into the distance, as Surtr was once more standing back up, his whole appearance has given a sudden shift.
Ding!
[The [Divine Fire Dragon of Origin Flames: Surtr] has converged all his [Origin Flames], [Red Orb Fragment], and [Six Divine Fire Dragon Souls], including [Muspel's Primordial Divine Soul] with his own body through the [Heavenly Smith] Unique Skill!]
[His body had undergone a radical transformation! Temporarily, he has transformed into the [Divine Origin Flames Dragon God King]!]
[All Stats have increased by +600%, All Fire Attribute Magic Power has increased by +1200%, All Skill Damage has increased by +500%!]
[Because this transformation is unstable and cannot keep up for much longer due to the limitations of the [Unique Skill: Heavenly Smith], the duration of this form has been decreased.]
[Due to the exhaustion of the Souls, the duration has been decreased even further.
[Duration: 5 Minutes.]
"ASMODEUS!!!"
CLAAAASSSHH!!!
