"Well now, isn't that beautiful? The whole party unifying to fight their enemy… Their bonds strengthening their resolve." Drake smiled. "I love seeing this, no matter how many times it happens…"

"You really like drama…" Benladann laughed.

"Well? It could be said so." The Dragon King laughed. "However, I dislike just doing everything myself, I like to inspire others to do their part too. I can't just steal all the attention, isn't it? There's a whole story here that I could help to develop. Surtr's epic!"

The Dragon King glanced in admiration the battle, as Surtr fiercely battled the Flame Emperor's deadly projectiles while his friends arrived and saved his life. It was almost inspiring!

He might sound a bit cynical, but he was genuinely happy that such things happened, and that he helped them build up until this point.

As he grew stronger, he started to believe that just by himself, he wouldn't be able to save the world, nor everyone out there.

After all, even as much as he could divide himself, he would grow weaker the more Doppelgangers he made, meaning that he couldn't be at full power everywhere.

It meant that his duty wasn't to save everyone, nor beat all the bastards that threatened this world's innocent lives and peace.

He slowly began to realize that his duty was to raise many people like him and his friends, heroes that could stand by themselves eventually, and fight indescribably powerful foes on their own!

And perhaps because of such a duty he had made for himself, he felt so very proud of Surtr, the young fire dragon who lacked self-confidence, that was filled with personal issues, and that lacked the strength, but had the potential.

He forged him into the fantastic hero he had become, and his friends and family had forged Surtr's allies to become just as amazing and heroic on their own rights!

This was it!

This was the purpose of the Dragon King!

"Do you understand it now, Flame Emperor?" Drake glanced from a distance, as his body slowly began to move towards him after having taken care of the battlefield.

"What do I understand?!" The monstrous pillar of black flames spoke. "What are you talking about?!"

"You seem confused! Did you never thought that my purpose here wasn't to exactly beat you myself? But to raise someone that could?!" Laughed Drake. "I am the Dragon King not because I'll simply resolve all the problems myself, but because I'll guide others to solve their problems themselves!"

"A Guider…" The Flame Emperor muttered, finally understanding the true purpose of Drake's existence.

The reason why he was chosen by Fate, the reason why he Reincarnated to begin with, the reason why Yggdrasil stopped targeting him, and decided to become his ally!

A [Guider], a unique existence that only happens once every Era! And the last [Guiders] to have ever existed were all the Venerables, the strongest and wisest mortals that ever lived, that shaped the entire world's history!

Among all other living beings in the world of Yggdrasil right now, Drake was the one that qualified the best as a true [Guider], a Venerable in the making.

"Nonsense… Just NONSENSE!"

The Flame Emperor roared, erupting like a crazed volcano as countless explosions of black flames emerged out of his body, shaping as hundreds of titanic snakes!

"DIEEEE! DIE ALL OF YOU!"

·??m Filled with frustration and rage, he decided to not only attack Surtr, but everyone! Even those fighting in the distance, and Drake and his allies!

"A bad decision, my friend." Drake laughed. "You should had just let Surtr and his companions defeat you! Now you're going to get even more humiliated! Everyone, LET'S GO!"

With a prideful and ferocious roar, the Dragon King led his own army of friends and family. His two powerful daughters, his two wives, converged as an almighty Chaos Dragon Titan, his powerful Divine Weapons, and his almighty Divine Spirits.

As this happened, several of these snakes the Flame Emperor summoned were swiftly stopped as enormous seas of blood were summoned by a single, beautiful young girl standing in front of them, right in the middle of a flame-covered landscape.

SPLAAAASH! TRUUUUMMM…!

The Seas of Blood instantly fused together into a gigantic sphere, trapping over seven snakes at the same time… The young lady it all was Ruby, of course, the Successor of the Vampire Venerable.

"You won't step into this battlefield; those beasts are more than enough."

With a wave of her hands, the sphere of blood distorted, beginning to slowly become smaller and smaller, until it completely disappeared, alongside all the Abyssal Flame Snakes it devoured…

More of them emerged alongside gigantic Blazing Swords of the End, only for her to do the same again, a gigantic sea of blood emerged all around the main battlefield, wrapping it around a beautiful crimson barrier and sending off all the stupid little things the Flame Emperor tried to send at her.

"T-That damn Vampire!" The Flame Emperor thought. "How strong is she?! This-"

Before the Flame Emperor could distract himself any longer, a huge wave of Origin Flames descended from the skies, unleashed by Surtr and all his allies together, their magic and techniques fusing together!

BOOOOOMMMM…!

"UUUAARGHH…!"

The tyrannical ruler roared in agony. His blazing body suddenly suffering a gigantic wound as a piece of his own ethereal body was blown off. He instinctively stepped back, glaring with fury as his blazing red eyes channeled his powers.

"YOUUUU…!"

He raised his many monstrous arms, shaping them into gigantic beast heads, resembling wolves, dragons, snakes, tigers, and crows, and attacking them with his gigantic, sheer size!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

However, an even larger behemoth appeared in front of those powerful strikes, swinging a huge sword made of rainbow-colored frost, a fusion of four divine weapons at once, as a wave of rainbow frost winds emerged with that mere swing!

SLAAAAASSSSH!!!

BOOOOMMM!!!

The Flame Emperor's attacks were instantly blocked, as he glanced in utter disbelief at the origin of that powerful strike, it was nobody else than the Dragon King himself, Drake!

The Divine Sword he held, a fusion between his Divine Weapons and his Divine Spirits, held the power to change the tide of this battle.

"Hey, did you forget about me?"

"Why won't you DIE already?!"
