Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

CRAAASH!

Surtr slammed the Venerable into the ground with a powerful tails wipe, and then rushed

towards him, crushing his head into the ground with his foot, before unleashing his Primordial Origin Flames at full power, summoning dozens of swords and piercing his entire body with them!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"NNNGGHHH?!"

The Venerable groaned in agony as his soul was being destroyed, he glared back at Surtr in disbelief, his power had suddenly risen to the point all his efforts were in vain, again!

"I knew I shouldn't had let you ascend, dammit! Curse that woman that stopped me! T-This is...! I cannot die here! I must continue fighting! I MUST... I WILL BITE YOU OFF IF I MUST!"

His soul transformed into a shapeless mass of jaws and arms, beginning to bite through Surtr's armor and trying to wrap around his legs.

Even in his last moment, the barbarian Venerable clung to the last hopes for survival, honoring his title and name, fighting until the very last moment.

Surtr roared back, as he smashed the Venerable's entire soul with his fists, bombarding him with blazing explosions, as holes spread through him!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"UUGGGHH!"

The Venerable screamed in agony as he glared at Surtr with sheer hatred, fighting back as his entire body suddenly leaped into the skies, absorbing the surrounding energy and then, manifesting a gigantic fiery fist, rushing towards Surtr.

"I'LL CRUSH YOU, KID!"

"Hah... You truly live up for your name, Savage Sun Flare Demon Venerable!"

Surtr transformed his sword into a gauntlet, quickly clashing against the incoming fist from below, as the two forces impacted one another, generating countless shockwaves everywhere!

"HAAAAHHHH!"

"RAAAAAHHH!"

The two roared in unison, putting their souls and hearts into their attacks, the Venerable's gigantic fist, imbued with everything he had, and Surtr's fists, carrying the dreams and hopes of his dragon family within them.

BOOOOMMM!!!

Until ultimately, both attacks erupted, detonating into a titanic explosion, the last explosion their clash would unleash. Blue plasma and golden flames engulfed the surroundings, burning and melting mostly everything within the vicinity.

And yet, Muspel was a land that thrived on flames and fire, vegetation, animals, monsters, people, all lived within this heat, even as they destroyed and burned everything, this would only become a new ecosystem for new living beings in the near future...

"Haaahh... Haaah..."

Surtr stood in the middle of a massive crater spanning over a kilometer, glancing down at the soul of the Venerable, burning with golden flames shaped as thousands of small fire dragons.

His soul looked incapable of moving anymore...

The monstrous savage of Muspelheim, the tyrant and barbarian feared by all in his Era, and perhaps even now.

"What a pathetic end..."

He looked at Surtr with his crimson eyes, although the Venerable fought fiercely to the end, he seemed to be happy.

"You're happy?"

Surtr walked to his side, but without getting too close, even now, he was wary.

"Of course I'm not happy... I don't want to die, stupid brat... But... Ugh... Looks like I lost, fair and square."

"...I will not offer you a second chance."

"I wouldn't even ask for it, kid... I'm happy knowing I fought till the end."

"You... you don't regret anything?"

"What's there to regret? I lived my life as I wished... I did as I pleased... And I fought for my ideals and dreams! Hahahah... If anything... I'm happy, yeah. Perhaps..."

"...Leave Muspelheim to me. I will protect our home."

"Hmph... Damn kid, thinking that you... that you're a big shot for defeating me... You don't know anything yet... This world had many Venerables... Hahaha... I wonder what those bastards are doing... right now..."

"Other Venerables? Ah, that's right... But...! Wait, were you cooperating?!"

"No, I don't cooperate with anybody... I don't know what they're doing right now, but it wouldn't be far from the same thing I did."

"I see..."

"I'm leaving... Muspelheim to you... Surtr."

Surtr felt slight emotions as he saw the Venerable slowly turn into particles of light.

"I left with you one last gift... I hope you appreciate it, ahahah...!"

And one last time, he saw him laughing as he became the flames of Muspelheim and the light

of the sun.

FLAAASH!

"A gift? Is he really gone? It didn't feel like that..." Surtr wondered, looking around. "His presence..."

"Venerables have powerful Souls. When they forge an Ascendancy Law, they become a part of the World's Elements and a Pillar of it..."

"Huh?"

Surtr was surprised to find Andromeda speaking to him, as she walked to his side alongside Drake's family and friends, who had held back the Venerable until he ascended as a Venerable. "Oh, master's family and friends...!" Surtr smiled, feeling relieved they were fine. "Yeah, we saw you fighting in the sidelines, you're strong, kid," Benladann smiled. "You've become the strongest of your kind, second to my husband, of course."

"Hahah, it's an honor, thank you so much..." Surtr immediately got embarrassed, acting all humble after being praised.

"Yep, still the same ol' kid, look at him getting all red over a little praise," Miranda teased

him.

"Hahaha! Yeah he's a kid at the end anyway," Yuki laughed.

"He's a Venerable! Please be more respectful, Yuki!" Pekora said.

"Yeah, even if he's a brat he's a venerable now so..." Tisha nodded.

"Hahah... I am still me at the end, and no amount of power would ever change that," Surtr said. "Andromeda, you said something about the Venerable's soul becoming part of nature?

Is this true?"

"Yeah..." Andromeda nodded. "He's a Law of the World itself, his death is not truly a death, as he had become a part of the world more fully now, fueling and nourishing it. Muspelheim might regrow anew even more beautiful in the future."

"I see..." Surtr looked around. "He would've been happy I guess.... And-Ah! My family! Right!

Where are they?!"

As Surtr looked around, Benladra suddenly pointed into the distance.

"Big bro! Look! Over there!"

"Huh?!" Surtr panicked, as he saw his family running towards him, chased by hundreds of thousands of

Rank 9 and Rank 10 Divine Monsters.

This was the Venerable's "last gift".
