CRAAASH!

A gigantic, red-scaled draconic fist clashed against the face of a massive, five-headed draconic volcano hydra, its face suddenly gaining countless cracks before it exploded into pieces.

BAAAAMMM!!!

"Huhhh… You are sure a tough nut to crack…" 

Surtr's gigantic body emerged in front of the struggling Hydra, the head that just got destroyed was slowly trying to regrow back anew. 

His body had already undergone his special transformation, fusing the very Concept of the Origin Flames into his own body, changing his appearance, gaining golden scales, and several halos made of shining flames.

The claw that had crushed through the hydra was covered on a gigantic gauntlet, composed of two of his Divine Fire Dragon Soul siblings, fused together through his Unique Skill [Heavenly Smith].

"SHYAAAAGGGHH!"

The Hydra roared furiously at him, quickly standing back up again. It was a monster of over one hundred and fifty meters of height, almost the same size as Surtr on his Ultimate Form!

Its many jaws opened, bombarding Surtr with countless gigantic meteors coming from its burning guts, composed of molten ores and crystals!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Surtr was able to shield himself by generating huge shields made out of his scales, blood, origin flames, ores, and the souls of his siblings, shielding the rest of his party right behind him.

"Tch, you're so annoying, we've been fighting you for over an hour now!" Surtr roared with utter frustration. "Did the Venerable had to make this monster so frustrating?! And we're just five floors from reaching the last one!"

Surtr and his party had come to a surprise in the last ten floors of the Tower of Trials. The last ten floors were actually divided. After floors 91, 92, 93, and 94, Floor 95 held a surprise Boss!

That meant there was an extra boss right before the final one at Floor 100! And it wasn't an easy one at that, it was an almighty Rank 10 Divine Volcanic Draconic Hydra King, with tremendous physical strength, deadly magic, and an incredible level of self-regeneration.

"Hehehe, well, that's how life is!" Laughed the Venerable of Flames, his voice echoing across the entire hall. "It would had been utterly boring if I told you how everything was going to go, right? Sometimes you have to just be ready for anything, even the biggest of surprises out there!"

"You damn…!" Surtr was already really angered at the Venerable for purposedly making a very long and boring Trial just for him to be qualified to enter his Inheritance.

"Surtr, watch out!" Mina cried from behind. 

"SHAAAAHHH!!!"

However, the hydra wasn't going to wait for him to say what he wanted to say, rushing towards him! Its many jaws biting his arms and then the rest of the jaws biting his legs, the hydra used these heads with long necks as limbs, quickly lifting Surtr off the ground and throwing him down!

BAAAAMMMM!!!

"AARGGH…!" Surtr screamed in pain, feeling several of his bones cracking. "You damn beast…!"

"Protect Surtr! Don't let that thing get to him!" Nadia roared, stepping forwards. "[Draconic Blazing Titan Transformation]!  L-Let's do it again!"

She had already transformed into her giantess form, only for her to grow exhausted and go back to her original form. However, after Surtr bought everyone enough time to rest, she quickly went back to her giantess form!

Her size of only three meters of height skyrocketed, becoming as huge as a hundred meters, covered on red and black scales, with dragon horns and stronger muscles, alongside a very long, spear-tipped dragon tail!

She didn't grew wings, preferring to leave that draconic power to give her a further boost in physical strength, as Nadia grabbed her huge axe, which grew to her own size through its innate magical powers, and slashed trough three of the Hydra's heads at once before they were to grab Surtr once more!

SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAAAASSHH!!

"GRYYAARRGGHH…!"

The beast stepped back in agony as its beheaded necks began to bleed intensively, Nadia didn't stop there, imbuing the dropped heads with her Divine Aura of the Fire Titans and kicking them back at the hydra one after another!

"Take back your nasty heads!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"SHHAAAGGH…!"

The hydra started being overwhelmed by its own heads, as ridiculous as that sounded! However, on its rage, it moved its many tails towards Nadia, attempting to pierce her body, using them as spears.

"It won't work your way!"

Nadia slashed the tails with her powerful axe and her dragon claws, while using her larger and thicker dragon tail as a third, defensive limb to block the blows!

CLASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAAASH!

As Nadia took the entire attention of the giant Hydra, Mina quickly conjured her powerful magic as well, several gigantic dragon claws made of white and golden flames emerged, grabbing the hydra's legs, and beginning to burn them, melting its scales!

"[Divine Celestial Dragon Blazing Claws]!"

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

All four of the hydra's limbs started to weaken, forcing the beast to shake its body uncontrollably and move everywhere, Mina continued conjuring more of her magic. 

"[Divine Celestial Blazing Serpents]! Restrain that thing with everything you've got!"

FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH! FLAASH!

Several snake-like dragons made of her flames wrapped around its body, weakening its stats, and burning it with celestial flames, capable of even burning fire-attribute monsters usually immune to fire altogether!

"RAAAH!"

Nadia continued unleashing a barrage of explosive slashing attacks, cutting the heads as they grew back up, trying to find another weak spot, constantly aiming at the chest with kicks and her dragon tail!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

However, the hydra seemed simply invincible, tanking all the hits while roaring ferociously back at them, bombarding them with meteors made out of its own scales.

"[Divine Fire Spirit Beast Legion]!"

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Leona appeared right in that moment, summoning hundreds of Divine Fire Spirits, enhanced by her brother's magic, and keeping the hydra busy with everything they had.

"Nadia, Mina, everyone… Thanks for buying me back some time!"

And in that moment, Surtr's Aura erupted with almighty power, all the Souls of his siblings had merged, including that of his mother into a gigantic spear…

"I'm ready!!!"

FLAAASH!

He flew with all his strength and power towards the Hydra as it was being attacked from all sides, the gigantic spear piercing the hydra's chest, shattering its Divine Core, and destroying its heart!

CLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!

"SHYAAAAGGGHHHH…!"

The aberration gave out an agonizing shriek before it suddenly stopped moving, falling into the ground, completely motionless…

BAAAMMM…!

"W-We did it?!" Surtr was shocked it actually worked. "So its weak point was both the divine core and the heart! W-We did it! WE DID IT!"

He raised his arms in celebration, everyone started to cheer as they rested over the ground, exhausted. There were many warriors and helpers with them too, some including Drake's companions, this battle had been too long and exhausting, they needed to take a rest.

"Ugh, I just hope the final boss is not just another damn hydra." Nadia sighed in relief.

"Yeah…" Mina nodded, sighing as well.

"As long as that bastard of the Venerable doesn't pull any other new tricks on us." Surtr crossed his arms, sitting over the ground. "Hahh… But I'm exhausted." He started chewing on the meat of the hydra. "Oh, hey this is surprisingly good! Hmm, I wonder what Master Drake's up to right now."
