Chapter 709  A Baptizm Of Fire

-----

The Divine Ice Dragon was more merciful than he seemed to look like. As long as they didn't stand on his way, he was still willing to spare the lives of these children. He simply came to do his task and then be gone. He didn't cared about anything else.

"I am impressed there was even one alive, these creatures used to be hunted by us dragons in the past… Well, now are you going to move, or are you still going to pretend you stand a chance and stand on my way?" Valkoinen groaned, pointing his claws at the three children.

Laura, Takeshi, and Nyx glanced at one another, trying to buy time by making Valkoinen wait for their response. At the same time as this was happening, Brunhild was dragged back to the city, as the holes made in the walls were quickly covered by Root's branches.

Hundreds of tiny Spirits the Treant summoned using his Spirit Nest Skill appeared around Brunhild, who was still somehow hanging on her life by a thin thread, they flew into her large wound and started to slowly heal her, while supplying her with life energy.

Root's branches and roots began spreading around her body, covering her completely from anything and even inserting themselves into her skin and wounds, imbuing life energy and mana into her dying body.

"Gyuuhh… Please don't die, Brunhild!"

Brunhild could faintly heard the voice of the Treant Maria had tamed and made into their new ally. However, her mind was dizzy and her consciousness was slowly fading away.

"Ahhh… Am I going to die?" She thought.

For a moment, her consciousness started submerging into an endless darkness. She had done her everything yet it was nothing against that monster, but at the very least, she did manage to stop the city's destruction, even if a little.

"I'm sorry, dear… I was unable to protect your home any longer…" She whispered to herself. "I may… soon die."

F L A A A A A A S S S H H H!

However, as Brunhild submerged more and more into the darkness of death, a flash of bright light suddenly emerged, guiding her soul somewhere else instead… a world dominated and filled with tall and powerful dragons.

"This is… the Draconic Records? If I am here, I must have surely died…" Brunhild sighed.

"You have yet to die, my child." The voice of an all-powerful dragon echoed, a gigantic, titanic being covered on flames and lustrous red scales, crowned with dozens of sharp black horns.

"You are… The Primordial Mother of the Fire Dragons…" Brunhild was shocked.

This wasn't the first time she had entered the Draconic Records, as she had done it before. However, this was the very first time she was able to interact with the dragons inside, and with nobody else than he mother of all the Fire Dragons, Muspel.

"There is a way to save you, my child. But it shall be perilous and painful." The Dragon said. "However, are you ready?"

"What… must I do, all-mother?" Brunhild wondered.

F L U O O O O S H!

Suddenly, the flames of the Primordial Dragon of Fire Dragons emerged, like an endless sea of flames, it engulfed Brunhild, burning her soul.

"To help you forcefully breakthrough your next form, which will automatically heal your body, we must merge the Primordial Divine Flames we Divine Fire Dragons possess with your Soul. It shall be painful, and agonizing, as your soul shall be burned so much that it will end up merging with the flames. Once the merge is complete, your soul will no longer be that of a mortal, but that of a divine dragon." Muspel explained. "This is a method I had never tried before, so there's a chance… that you may not make it, and your soul may end up being completely consumed by the flames instead. However, this is the only chance you have to survive… and win against Valkoinen."

Brunhild nodded, her eyes blazing with conviction.

"I will do it. I will do it to gain the power I need, all-mother!" Brunhild said, stepping into the sea of flames boldly, without even hesitating.

F L U O O O S H!

"Nnnggh… Aaaagh! T-This pain… It is worse than my flesh being boiled alive…!" Brunhild groaned.

"Hoh, so bold." Smiled Muspel. "You have the heart of a Fire Dragon, my daughter. Now endure! The process has already begun!"

The flames slowly started to merge with Brunhild's soul, while at the same time burning it. It was a process that was beyond the Soul Book and leveling up, a process that could help Brunhild skip such a process, but that was much more dangerous. To purify her soul, to destroy it and remake it out of these flames… It was like a complete rebirth.

"For Lucifer… And everyone else… For the children and that city… I have to hurry!" Brunhild roared, opening her jaws and beginning to swallow the burning infernal flames, burning her insides and the very core of her soul to hasten the process.

"Child! Stop! What are you doing?!" Even Muspel panicked.

"All-mother, I cannot sit still! I must hurry… NNGGHH..! AAAGGH! E-Even if I must suffer through this inferno, this is nothing compared… to what my brother and everyone else outside is going through! RAAAAAHHHHH…!" Brunhild roared, absorbing, and devouring the flames more and more.

Her soul began changing and transforming much quicker than expected, Muspel herself was taken aback by her child's willpower.

"I have to go back… QUICKLY!" Brunhild roared.

Meanwhile, Valkoinen patience had finally run out. The three children were unwilling to cooperate, nor to move aside from his path.

"If your response is just "no" then there's no point in talking anymore." Valkoinen said. "I've been holding back this entire time, but if you desire death by my hands, so be it, children! I won't spare any more mercy!"

His almighty Divine Frost Dragon's Aura started spreading around, growing stronger with every second!
