Chapter 1586 Trying To Process The Almighty Scale
-----
The results were not good, Surtr didn't die but was terribly damaged after attacking the scale for only about three minutes. He went absolutely all out, the strongest flames, his most powerful divine magic spells, his strongest divine abilities, his most powerful weapon attacks. He even underwent his special transformation to become a Rank stronger, becoming as strong as a Rank 10, yet he still was unable to even put a dent into the scales.
And to make things worse, the scales didn't just resist all damage, the more magic and divinity they absorbed, the more it would automatically shoot back everything, like a deadly reflecting mirror. Surtr had most of his body devastated after that fight because of the powerful rainbow beams the scale released automatically with each strike it took. freew ebnov el
These beams were fueled by the scale's natural "Primordial Aura" as I'll call it. In fact, most of the time the scale wasn't even touched, this Aura, according to Surtr, was so tough and thick it felt like all his attacks drowned into a sea of energy. After I helped him get healed completely, he sighed.
"Man, this thing's… Sure useful! I feel a bit stronger after getting the shit beaten out of me. And those beams packing Primordial Power… It feels like regenerating from those wounds made me slightly tougher- Yeah, my stats increased!" Surtr noticed it.
"So this giant scale is like an ultimate training dummy?" Wondered Emerald, swallowing saliva. "I-I, err, I am not going to fight that…" However, I patted his feathered shoulders.
"Emerald, do your best!" I gave him a thumbs up.
"Please no! I don't wanna!" He slowly started regressing to his crybaby self.
"Come on, haven't you grown up a bit? I'll heal you so its okay." I nodded. "And if my healing can't do it, I'll call my daughter Benladra, her healing is top notch, I assure you."
"Uuugghhhh…" Emerald was quite literally forced to "fight" the scale.
Naturally, he lasted even less than Surtr even with his powerful winds, barely going for two minutes before collapsing, the beams pierced several parts of his body with tremendous accuracy, and he ended bleeding out in agony. I felt slightly bad, but after healing him completely, he was fine.
"What with this? My scales feel heavier and my feathers like… harder? It is as if they were made of steel." He said, touching his own dragon body.
"Interesting…" Rakasha said. "Drake, you're up."
"Yeah, I know."
I went all out against the scale. I showed every single ability I could, even the demonic powers I have been cultivating secretly, which surprised Surtr and Emerald a lot. My Vampire Dragon Powers, my Primordial Frost Magic, everything.
However, at the end… Unscathed, utterly unscathed, there was nothing I could ever do against that scale. Unlike those two though, I could tank all the reflected hits easily and recover my wounds rapidly afterwards.
I managed to absorb some of that Primordial Power, it burned like a thousand times harder than Demonic Energy, maybe the comparison was unfair now that I took no damage from Demonic Energy but… It was in another level.
I couldn't even dare harness that power, it escaped from my control in an instant, eating it didn't work either, I tried eating the beams, but I couldn't absorb anything at all…
"Looks like this is futile, although my body feels a bit harder, nothing else aside from that for now. I suppose it has better effects on you two who don't have immortal bodies." I sighed. "Now, how the hell do we shape this? Tiamat gave me this as a defense against Pandemonium, but… How can we even turn this into a shield at all? Should I just use the scale as it is?"
"It feels like that's an option at this point, yeah." Sighed Rakasha, crossing his arms. "I have thought about some ideas though. Hmm, if we can combine Surtr's Heavenly Smith with a large quantity of Divine Power and your own Divine Abilities, Drake. Perhaps we can at least change its shape and add additional runic engravements and materials to give it a form. As long as it takes a partial form, it will be cataloged as equipment and gain an even more exponential amount of defensive power. And special abilities too."
"Hmm, I guess we can try." Surtr nodded. "What should I do? Do I try using Heavenly Smith directly?"
"Try that then." I nodded. "Let's see if it works. Your Unique Skill is supposed to be able to transform and combine any materials, so maybe…"
Surtr attempted and failed miserably. His powers were simply not enough. When the scale was about to change, it released a shockwave of rainbow light and pushed us all away. It was as if it had a small mind of its own and was rejecting such a cheap method to become a shield.
"I-It doesn't work. This is the first time my ability doesn't work on a piece of material." Surtr gasped. "I-I don't know what to do."
"It almost worked. If we can somehow block that shockwave- No, we can't, but we should be able to move it somewhere else." I rubbed my scaled chin.
"Wait, how so?" Emerald asked.
"Spatial Manipulation. It is a basic ability I can do inside of my own Divine Realm." I explained. "We'll first set up a special Domain, a Divine Domain of sorts, specially constructed using Divine Runes. It'll connect to my Divine Realm's spatial pillars. And I'll use it to send the shockwaves somewhere else, so they don't hit us. While that happens, we'll lead Surtr with all our Divine Power and as that happens, Rakasha, Emerald, and a dozen of my Doppelgangers will hammer that damn scale and make it shape into something with Surtr's transformation power in effect." "Wait, why me?!" Emerald cried again. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"You'll power will come in handy, imbue the scale with as much Heaven's Wind as you can." I told him. "Rakasha, what do you think?"
"I'll help you make that domain, and sure, I'm in." He nodded.
This might take several days, but we were not going to give up.
