Chapter 1318 Against The Second Wave Of Volcanic Monsters
-----
In just half a minute, over half of the monsters composing the First Wave were taken down swiftly. And the Venerable was naturally surprised. Although he thought they were strong, he didn't imagined they could push against the army of Giant Blazing Insect Monsters so fast.
"I guess I should also do something myself." Drake said, cracking his knuckles as he greeted over forty giant monsters with his magic. Waving his hands, he swiftly combined his Mana, Divine Power, and the Divinities he held of Ice and Water together.
"[Divine Frost Sea Magic]: [Freezing Ocean Waves]"
An enormous aura of Divinity surged from the Dragon King, materializing as several, gigantic waves of icy sea water, rushing down into the monster like several tsunamis at once!
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLAAAAAASSSH!!!
TRUUUUMMMMM…!
The oceanic waves took over everything, over half the monsters affected died on the spot, incapable of keeping up their body's high temperatures and freezing. Meanwhile, the other half ended being frozen into ice statues by the ice attribute within the magic spell.
One of the weaknesses that the monsters of Muspelheim held was that they were too hot. To the point their bodies had grown adapted to this heat they produce constantly. If their bodies are suddenly exposed to cold water of high power and density, they can be instantly paralyzed and weakened.
And in the case of Drake and Aegir's tremendously strong divine-level water magic, this could even mean almost instant death!
"[Divine Primordial Ice Magic]: [Frozen World]!" Drake followed that spell with yet another, even stronger one, as he spread out his hands and opened his mouth wide, unleashing a frozen wind.
This was the power of his advanced Dragon Magic, an ability named "Dragon Tongue" which allowed divine dragons to conjure spells not with magic circles, but with their very bodies. His spells were now the very expression of his body and his powers.
FLUOOOOOOOSSSHHH!!!
The icy windstorm was unleashed, freezing everything in front of him, the monsters that kept coming out were being instantly frozen one after another, incapable of even fighting back! Even the Venerable was left perplexed.
"Usually… Ice and Water Magic would be greatly weakened within this Continent, yet he can conjure it at its full power anyways…!" He thought, feeling completely surprised.
And in front of Drake's eyes, an announcement emerged.
Ding!
[The First Wave of Volcanic Monsters has been completely defeated in less than 2 Minutes!]
[You earned +50.000.000 Divine Power as a Reward.]
[You earned [Crystalized Essence of Primordial Fire (S Grade)] x3 as a Reward.]
[You earned [Divine Infernal Flame Orichalcum Ingot (S Grade)] x3 as a Reward.]
Three big red crystals and three large ingots made of orange-colored metal materialized in front of Drake's claws. They were shining with divine power.
"Oh? Interesting rewards." Drake felt surprised.
These rewards were all Materials for crafting. It seemed that they were all in the Divine-level too. His mind was already imagining the different shapes such materials could take, though he would look into it much later.
The Trial has yet to end, after all!
Ding!
[The Second Wave of Volcanic Monsters is quickly beginning to emerge!]
[The [Aura of the Volcanic King] is growing even stronger, all Monsters Stats have increased by +200%, their HP and MP Self-Regeneration Speed has been enhanced by +100%, and their Magic and Physical Attack Power has been boosted by a further +140%!]
[The [Aura of the Volcanic King]'s [Deadly Blazing Domain] has grown even stronger, all non-fire attribute beings that step in will receive constant damage to their Health, and their HP and MP Regeneration Speed will be decreased to a third!]
[The [Volcanic King] is already beginning to wake up from his slumber…]
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
The Volcanic Lava Pool quickly began shaking and bubbling rapidly and furiously, as hundreds of beasts emerged from within! This time, they weren't Insect-type Monsters, but a bunch of mammal beasts.
Red colored wolves the size of over ten meters of height, ferocious bears whose backs were on flames, and gigantic gorillas covered on armor made of volcanic stone, with blazing eyes. Meanwhile, the presence of the "Volcanic King" kept growing stronger.
"Hahaha! Let's see if you can handle Rank 9 Peak Stage Monsters boosted through the roof now! I didn't made my Trial easy after all! Only the strongest of Gods will be able to complete it!" Laughed the Venerable's voice.
"Makes sense, I guess this is why this bastard could never find a successor, he's asking too much." The Fox Venerable's phantasmal manifestation sighed.
"Indeed, not even my trial was this hard, what in the world is he thinking?" Sighed the Frost Queen. "I mean, Drake and his companions can surely do it but… I doubt there would be anybody suited for this trial other than… that one man they call the Flame Emperor."
"Hmph! Silence you two women! You weren't invited to my trial, so keep your mouths shut!" The Venerable of Flames angrily said, he was easily provoked.
"Heh! A Second Wave's already here? These beasts don't really let us take a break." Laughed Miranda, smiling as she glanced at the army of Infernal Wolves, Volcanic Grizzlies, and Blazing Gorillas charging in. "I'll take as many as I can without moving from this spot."
Miranda started gathering Mana and Divine Power in large quantities around her arms and hands, suddenly distorting space itself as the darkness that surged from within seemed almost otherworldly.
Mixing with purple and red colors, the distortion swirled into a single point in the middle of the air, gathering into a sphere, which then unleashed a massive blast of Demonic Darkness and Chaos!
"[Demon Magic]: [Demonic Apocalypse Beam]!"
TRUUUUUUMMMMM…!
The beam instantly reached almost a hundred monsters at once, blasting them into complete ashes in a single second…
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM…!
The destruction was so much that the darkness spread around the surroundings, killing even more monsters on the way… Miranda had gone and done it, a powerful enough spell that could probably wipe out an entire country.
Even with all the buffs, these monsters were simply unable to resist the ridiculous damage dealt against them…
"W-What the heck is that girl?!" The Venerable of Flames was left perplexed.
