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

Chapter 1697 Visiting The Fire Titan Soul Realm

Chapter 1697  Visiting The Fire Titan Soul Realm

-----

It was a land of volcanoes and flames, of hard black stone and red skies, this was the Fire Titan Realm, I think I once visited the Fire Dragon Realm, and it was nowhere as hot and fiery as this one, and enormous.

But above all, the Titan in front of me didn't seem like just any of them, but the most important of them all, a titanic size, naturally. He seemed to be over a kilometer of height. Three giant black horns growing over his head, a long white beard, gold accessories wrapped around his muscular body.

Long tusks coming from his lower jaw, and four… Yes, four arms, not two, he had two pairs of them! I was shocked.

His entire, red-skinned body was covered on white tattoos, showing runes and paintings, his whole body was a canvas.

But I never thought I would get sent here so soon!

"Well, why are you so shocked?" he asked. "Your Soul was attuned so much to this place that I had to drag you here! I wanted to see what kind of abomination ate all the remains of my children. And it looks like it was some dragon- But your soul! Why does it look like a blasted Ice Titan?!"

"It's a long story…" I sighed, standing up.

In my Ice Titan Soul form, I was roughly five hundred meters tall, barely half of what this titan was, but at the very least I was a tiny ant in front of him.

"Long story, eh? Okay, tell me your summary of yer long story, I don't have all the time of the world to give it to a freak of nature like ye!" he roared angrily.

Like that, after half an hour, I explained him my circumstances, who I was, and what has happened to end up in this place.

"So you're the blasted king of those lizards? I can't believe it…" he laughed. "So the King of the Dragons also has a Ice Titan Soul! What's going on out there? I've been dead for millions of years and things are becoming too weird now!"

"Who exactly are you?" I asked.

"Me? Well I am the King of all the Fire Titans, Surtr!" he roared.

Surtr?

Wait a second, was that kid's name after this Titan then?

Interesting, I guess his mother must have respected him.

"I have a friend with the same name, he's the last fire dragon," I smiled.

"The last? So you dragons are also croaking at the end… For as much as you love to hide, you're also facing your end…" he sighed, looking around. "He is a direct son of Muspel, right?"

"Yes," I nodded. "I think she must have a lot of respect for you if she named him after you."

"Hmmm…" he squinted his eyes. "You're not lying… If you're truly acquittanced with the last son of Muspel, I suppose you're someone trustworthy."

"Of course I am! Did you think I was a swindler or something?" I sighed.

"Gahahah! I guess so! I was actually going to crush your soul because I didn't want a bastard to wield my children's powers," he laughed. "But now that I see deeper within, you're quite an interesting man. A Dragon King, with the Soul of an Ice Titan… This has never happened before."

Was he really going to try to destroy my soul? What a bastard!

"I've met Skadi, and she helped my soul to transform," I said. "As I explained earlier, the Fire Titan materials I used were bought from the Flame Venerable's Trial. You must know him too, right?"

"Yes, he's like my son," Surtr laughed. "Hm, I suppose you're not half bad, quite the friends with a lot of people I care about. I have never heard of you before, mostly because most of my kids are dead, except for a handful around the world… Okay! I've decided! I'll make you even more of a freak! Hahaha! Your soul… let's shape it into a Fire Titan soul too!"

It seems I finally convinced him! He was really hard to convince, not even Skadi was this suspicious of me. He also has quite the personality, but I'll have to deal with that.

"Thank you! Do I have to go through a similar trial as Skadi?" I wondered.

"What? Bah! Why would I make you do that? Your Soul has already evolved, you only need to bath in that volcano over there," he said. "And drink the lava for ten minutes."

"Eh?!" I gasped.

"Hahahah! I was joking!" he laughed. "It'll be much easier… Or maybe hard? Depends. Follow me."

He walked across the enormous landscape, as I noticed more and more Fire Titans on the way. Most of them were either bathing in the lava, sleeping over mountains, or eating.

They were now just Souls, but any Soul Realm would provide with Soul Beasts, so Souls naturally ate Soul Beast meat, which kept their souls healthy and strong.

"Here it is, Drake."

As we moved across an endless path of flames, we reached the largest volcano, right above the boiling lava, there was…

Yeah, I should have guessed it.

An arena.

"God damn it Surtr, seriously?" I facepalmed. "I just was on a tournament with the Earth Dragons!"

"And why exactly should I give a damn what you did with those rock lickers?" laughed the Titan. "It won't be a normal tournament; I am not going to bore you. I will pick my five strongest Titans; you'll fight them all at the same time. If you win, you pass, and I get to make your soul even freakier than before. Deal?"

"Five at the same time?!" I asked. "But weren't Titans Primordials? How can I win against-"

"It just their souls, we Titans were mostly proud of our bodies!" he said. "But they're all gone. What? Are you scared of fighting a few old grandpas so much, king of the lizards?"

Okay, you know what? I'm getting a bit tired of him calling me "king of the lizards".

"Fine, bring it on. But don't complain when they have soul ache for the next one thousand years…"

I walked inside the arena, floating above the lava.

And then, five Fire Titans stepped in.
