Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 1317 Against The First Wave Of Volcanic Monsters

-----

As the first wave of Giant Blazing Insects greeted Drake and his companion's sights, a powerful aura spread out around their surroundings, instantly weakening them and at the same time, strengthening the monstrous giant insects through the roof.

Ding!

[The First Wave of Volcanic Monsters has emerged!]

[The [Aura of the Volcanic King] has been activated, all Monsters Stats have increased by +100%, their HP and MP Self-Regeneration Speed has been enhanced by +50%, and their Magic and Physical Attack Power has been boosted by a further +70%!]

[The [Aura of the Volcanic King] has generated a [Deadly Blazing Domain], all non-fire attribute beings that step in will receive constant damage to their Health, and their HP and MP Regeneration Speed will be halved!]

[The [Volcanic King] is slowly beginning to wake up from his slumber within the depths of this underground volcano… His Powers will only grow stronger the longer you take to kill these monsters.]

"KRIEEEEEEHHH!" Please visit f𝓇ℯℯ𝚠e𝒃𝘯𝒐νel. co𝐦

"SHAAAAAHH!"

"GRUOOOOHHHH!!!"

A swarm of over thirty giant blazing insect monsters, all of them being Rank 8 Peak Stage charged towards Drake's party at first, furiously attempting to push them away from their goal, the ceiling. It felt as if they've been trapped in here for a while, and desired to escape, and this was finally their chance.

"Hahaha! Surprised?!" Laughed the Venerable of Flames. "These are the many Volcanic Divine Monsters I sealed within my Inheritance long ago."

"Is that so?" Drake smiled confidently.

"Indeed! These beasts are ancient and much stronger than the ones from nowadays! And you'll be surprised to know who the Volcanic King truly is- Huh?!"

"How about this for start?! [Primordial Ocean Magic]: [Ancient Ocean's Rage]!" Aegir interrupted the Venerable's speech as she unleashed the Rage of the Ancient Oceans themselves.

Materializing the ocean around us, and shaping it as gigantic waves, filled with spiraling oceanic currents that resembled tornados made out of water, the devastating stream of water hit the beasts like a huge, all destroying explosion.

SPLAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHH!!!

This water wasn't just normal water anybody could survive against, but it was special Water Magic, of course, specifically charged with tremendous pressure and power, strong enough to shatter the rocks below and instantly drown dozens of giant Rank 8 Peak Stage Divine Monsters in mere seconds.

FRSSSSHHHH…!

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM…!

However, the very impact wasn't everything either, as the water and the volcanic lands clashed against one another, both essences being so powerful that they couldn't completely destroy the other, to the point they exploded, causing a tremendous commotion that shook the entire Tower of Flames.

"W-What…?!" The Venerable's voice echoed. "Such tremendous Water Attribute Power! And who is that Divine Spirit you're holding?! Ah… It can't be!"

"Oh? You've finally realized who I am, mortal?" Aegir giggled with a cocky smile. "I am the Embodiment of the Oceans, the Flow of Time itself, Aegir!"

"You're a stupid spirit brat! That's what you are! Gahahahaha!" Laughed the Venerable, ignoring her even as she revealed her identity.

Drake naturally felt a bit shocked, immediately and finally realizing that, indeed, this Venerable had more brawns than brains, even now that he lacked a physical body.

"Ugh! Rude! I'll make sure to crush your stupid trial!" Aegir seemed pumped up, flying into the skies and beginning to unleash gigantic currents of water from her hands.

SPLAAASH! SPLAAAASH! SPLAAAAASH!

Several Blazing Insect Monsters were blown away by her attacks, most of them either being weakened severely or dying on the spot. However, she couldn't completely take on everything by herself, so we swiftly stepped in.

"With little Aegir in the frontlines bringing some much-needed water, things might not be as complicated." Ruby smiled, floating above the rest of the party, near the ceiling with Rakasha and her mother.

"KRIEEEH!"

"SHYAAAH!"

"GRUOOOHH!"

A large group of over fifty Blazing Insect Monsters flew into the celling, attempting to rush there first before even engaging on a fight. Naturally, the three Vampires were waiting for them up there.

"However, I suppose she cannot completely cover the entire area with her attacks." Ruby smiled, waving her hands, as her long red nails unleashed countless slashing attacks, from within the nails tips, threads made of divine primordial blood began cutting and wrapping around the creatures.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAASH! SLAAAASH!

"These buggers ain't so much compared to the Eldritch Beasts we fought back on Aquarius!" Rakasha nodded, swinging his Divine Blacksmith Hammer, a manifestation of his own Divinity as a Blacksmith, which had now evolved alongside his recent transformation into a Vampire Ice Giant. "[Blazing Blood Hammer Arts]: [Crimson Meteor]!"

By swinging his gigantic hammer utilizing his tremendous physical strength, Rakasha unleashed a terrifying barrage of explosive blows loaded with both his Blacksmith Divinity and his Blood Divinity.

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH! CRAAAAASSHH!!!

"Fufu, don't let me out in the fun either." Ruby's mother smiled devilishly, spreading her arms open as her shadows spread further all around her, a swarm of thousands of Bats made of Primordial Divine Blood emerged from within. "[Primordial Divine Blood Magic]: [Endless Vampiric Swarm]!"

FLUOOOOOSH!

The swarm of giant bats quickly surrounded dozens of Giant Blazing Insect Monsters all at once, biting their hard exoskeletons and tearing them down into pieces one after another. She had developed a rather deadly Spell.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the battlefield…

"Cover my back, Pekora! I'm charging in!" Tisha laughed bravely.

"Ugh, fine, but don't go killing yourself like before!" Pekora sighed.

Pekora glanced at her with a bit of concern but let her push forward as she was also being accompanied by Yuki who had recently transformed into her Tiger Divine Beast Spirit Form.

"Don't worry, we're on this together!" Yuki roared, swinging her powerful, metallic claws against the armies of Blazing Insects, cutting them down into pieces with powerful shockwaves of cutting divine power.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"[Divine Frost Blade Arts]: [Absolute Zero Blade Dance]! RAAAAHHHH!!!" Tisha roared bravely and with great strength, dancing in the middle of dozens of gigantic, over ten meters big Giant Blazing Bugs, jumping and cutting them down one after another.

Her devastating blows were even stronger as Pekora offered Support Magic, boosting her muscle strength.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!

Drake's party hasn't even fought for more than a minute, and more than half of the first wave of monsters was already gone!

Naturally, the Venerable was left flabbergasted.

"It's not just the Dragon who's strong… All of them are!"
