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.
"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.
