Chapter 1964: Invincible Power!
CRAAASH!
The Venerable's new form was quickly overcome by Surtr's strength and strange abilities, something the ancient Venerable of war and bloodshed had not accounted for. It wasn't that he was dumb, it simply was that he had little idea about what Surtr could do in his new form after evolving to this point.
And now, he finally showed him what he truly was capable, not only had Surtr become incredibly tough, but his Unique Skill, [Heavenly Smith] had evolved and also become part of his Ascendancy Law, becoming something completely out of the ordinary and beyond its original abilities and limits. "AAARRGHH!"
The Venerable genuinely screamed in agony as his entire head was torn apart, which was a part of his exposed soul. Surtr had completely countered his destructive attack by using it as an element and "forging it" through his abilities and use it to his advantage.
As he lost a large piece of his soul, the Venerable felt a numb feeling for a moment, everything became blurry, his senses started to grow weaker, and the pain almost made him go completely insane. "W-What's happening...?"
For a moment, he even began to wonder what was happening, a large piece of his soul was destroyed and then torn apart, making his memories mixed and fuzzy.
CRAAASH!
Surtr didn't stop hitting him, using the power he stole from him to temporarily keep bringing him back to him, he constantly punched the Venerable's entire body with his massive fists. "This one's for my brothers!"
CRAAASH! "Another for my sisters!"
CRAAASH! "This is for Asmodeus, whom you could never be a good friend!"
CRAAASH! "And this?! For me!"
CRAAASH!
The Venerable's eyes widened across his entire soul, as countless holes appeared through it! All of its plans had failed, and now it was getting beaten by a young dragon, no less! "Y-YOU DAMN BASTARD!!!"
The Venerable regained his consciousness as he gasped, his entire soul in shambles, the ground beneath Surtr trembled and shattered apart, forcing him to quickly fly high in the skies.
The technique he was using was dispelled as a gigantic shockwave of divinity started surging from the underground, Surtr's eyes widened, as he noticed the soul was completely gone. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE GOING AGAINST?!"
The furious voice of the Venerable echoed through both heaven and earth, as Surtr noticed gigantic cracks in space appear around him, where massive, five-hundred-meter-big fists made of blazing magma and divinity rushed towards him.
By the dozens!
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!
Surtr was battered by massive blows that could easily destroy entire mountains! Using his sword, he cut through the attacks, although many of them still ended hitting his body constantly. "I AM THE GREAT VENERABLE OF THIS LAND! SUPREME LEADER! INVINCIBLE!"
Surtr's eyes widened as he saw a gigantic, furious face emerged amidst the ground beneath him, over a kilometer big, the Venerable once more fused with the entire land, one of his strongest techniques by far. "Even after all the damage I inflicted, he not only merged back with the earth again, he's using the Dimensional Essence to manipulate space and attack me from several directions at once!"
Surtr rapidly analyzed what was happening, as he rushed down while cutting through countless attacks with his massive sword.
However... "DON'T THINK IT'LL BE AS EASY AS BEFORE!"
The Venerable roared, as more portals opened below Surtr, his hands appeared again, this time wielding several shiny red and golden weapons.
These weren't weapons made using his elemental powers or his divinity, but they were true divine weapons of the rank of Venerables. "Those are... Venerable Weapons?!"
Surtr gasped as he saw a gigantic golden sword of over three hundred meters rush towards his stomach, blazing with golden flames. "NNGGH!"
CLAAASH!
He tried parrying the sword attack with his own blade, but his sword quickly gained cracks and exploded into pieces, as a shockwave of golden flames hit Surtr, making him vomit blood as it shook his entire internal body! "UGH?!"
He fell from the skies, towards the maws of the Venerable beneath, as he saw another weapon appear, a gigantic red and black colored spear, overflowing with demonic power.
It rushed towards Surtr, attempting to pierce through his head, he narrowly evaded, and quickly grabbed the spear, although dark, demonic flames burned through his arm instantly, cursing his soul.
FLUOSH! "SHOULDN'T HAD TOUCHED THAT, KID!"
The Venerable laughed down below as his gigantic head opened his jaws, biting Surtr and swallowing him.
Surtr's entire body, damaged, cursed, and now swallowed, was pushed into a pocket dimension created by the Venerable, where space continued compressing around him endlessly. "So that's why you swallowed me, huh..."
Surtr smiled as he saw the pocket dimension compressing around his body, constantly trying to crush him...
And yet his body wouldn't budge, his wounds quickly regenerated. "I'm cursed and burning with demonic flames, huh?"
He quickly grabbed the flames and the curse within his soul, compressing them together and fusing them with the fragments of his sword.
FLUOSH!
Within a second, his powers acted, creating a pitch-black sword which he swung vertically and horizontally, slashing and piercing through the dimensional walls.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! "It's a weak dimensional construct, it seems."
Crack, crack...!
CRASH!
The entire thing shattered into pieces, and the massive head of the Venerable stopped trying to keep him within his maws, as his entire face was sliced apart at the same time, before exploding into pieces.
BOOOMMM!!! "H-He's alive?!"
The Venerable glanced at the skies in utter disbelief through his soul, only for Surtr to quickly pierce through space with his own hands, manipulating the surrounding fabric of space and then twisting it.
Dimensional Essence which he had stolen from the destroyed pocket dimension flowed through his hands, temporarily allowing him to do the impossible once more. "You're hiding there again? It's not going to work, come out and fight me head-on, coward."
Surtr's claws tore through space, reaching the area where the soul of the venerable had been stored, and pulling him out once more. "INSOLENT BASTARD!"
The Venerable's soul rapidly reformed into a muscular titan encompassed by flames and blue colored dimensional essence, growing a massive fist and punching Surtr away.
ВААААМ!
And yet Surtr didn't even fall, remaining standing as he glared at the Venerable, holding his black sword with his right hand. "Ready to die?"
And Surtr smiled back at him.
