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

Ding!

[You have created the [Divine Infernal Origin Flames Heavenly Hammer: Hephaestus] x1!]

[For having crafted such a powerful weapon, the [Divine Blacksmithing (B)] Divine Ability has been enhanced to A Rank!]

[Your understanding of Divine Blacksmithing has improved greatly.]

The hammer was created, it was the fourth divine weapon I would possess, and one that naturally developed a soul as well. I utilized a lot of the materials I acquired from the inheritance of the Venerable of Flames, and also that crystalized fragment of Muspel's soul.

It was gigantic, shining brightly with red and orange metallic color, imbued on it were several elemental fire crystals of various qualities, most of the grown inside of my divine realm, but there were also some I mined from the mountain.

I also mixed Surtr's scales into the mix, alongside the guardian of the mountain's scales and some of his blood, and of course, the Flames of Beginning and the Origin Flames together, as a material.

Lastly, I summoned special Beginning Flame Spirits to imbue them permanently into the hammer, giving it even more power, and ultimately forming a soul within it through all these spirits.

[Description]

An unique never seen before hammer crafted by the Dragon King himself, a Legendary Blacksmith God, and the Heavenly Smith. It was crafted with incredibly high-quality divine materials, alongside a crystalized fragment of the Primordial Fire Dragon Mother Muspel and also hundreds of Fire Spirits together.

It looked incredible, and the abilities it contained were amazing, by merely holding the hammer, a powerful aura enhanced all of my fire attribute power, but not only mine, as also any ally received a share of this power within the vicinity.

"Phew… I can't believe the Red Orb Fragment could bring so much power too." Said Surtr, surprised.

We had used the Red Orb Fragment he was holding to enchant the weapon while it was being crafted, which resulted in an even stronger form. In fact, it was slightly higher quality than Aegir's own ring form.

"I think this is all thanks to Surtr too, your ability enhanced the quality of the product amazingly." Said Rakasha. "And of course, Drake too, although you've still got a long way to go before becoming a master blacksmith."

"Well, at the very least the Divine Ability grew stronger after crafting something like this, for sure…" I laughed. "Now, Hephaestus, can you talk?"

"Of course I can, foolish master."

FLUOOOSH!

The hammer floated in midair and quickly transformed into a tall, muscular young man, with fiery red skin, large black horns, and short silvery-white hair, alongside tattoos covering his body. As for clothes he only wore some red clothing around his hips, barely covering himself!

And what with that fucking punk-like stare he's giving me?

"I would rather have any of these two as my master instead." He sighed. "Your blacksmith technique lacks finesse and experience, while the old man can deliver that, this young lizard over here has amazing talent, you lack both, foolish master."

"You cocky little shit, I created you! You dare trash talk me?!" I asked angrily.

"What's wrong? I am merely stating facts, stupid master." He said while glaring at me angrily. "You're not deserving of wielding me!"

"I'm going to wield you!" I roared.

"You lack talent and experience in blacksmithing arts!" He said angrily.

"Rakasha, what the heck is wrong with this guy?" I asked the old man.

"I-I have never made divine weapons of this caliber before, but I would assume that… Because he's a blacksmithing tool, and also has the fire element, he's very prideful and seems to acknowledge only those with blacksmithing knowledge, experience, and talent." Rakasha sighed.

"Oh, so it's that…" I sighed. "Well, by just wielding you my Blacksmithing Technique will get better, so don't be unreasonable now."

"Tch… You'll have to show me your resolve later, foolish master." He sighed. "Once whatever battle is to come, you better show me your progress! If not, you won't be able to wield me any longer!"

"You little…!" I was about to smack him down.

"C-Calm down a bit, Drake." Surtr laughed. "Hephaestus, please just lend him your strength, he's someone I really admire."

"Hmph…" Hephaestus sighed. "Well, fine, I was already planning on lending my strength anyways but… He better not slack off on blacksmithing arts later!"

"Fine, stop nagging me, you're not my mom." I facepalmed.

Now that this is done with, it's time for the battle, at long last.

.

.

.

Within the outskirts of the Great Divine Mountain, a large army of thousands of Divine Beasts slowly approached, led by a huge and monstrous turtle-like Divine Beast similar to the Guardian of the Mountain, if not the same species.

Above its huge shell, there was a large red palace constructed out of pure Fire Spirit Crystals, and within the palace's interior, a throne made of bones and skulls, where a tall, behemoth of a Fire Giant sat down, fiercely, and pridefully glancing into the distant mountain.

He smiled, while unleashing a powerful and blazing black aura, his eyes glowing redder with malice and excitement.

"At long last, we are here…" He laughed. "That annoying fire lizard, the kid with the other orb fragment, and the stupid lizard king that has been annoying Green all this time, I'll burn them all to ashes today."

The Flame Emperor stood up, his body taller than any of the Fire Giants that served him out of sheer fear, as he slowly walked outside of his palace.

"[Flames of the End]"

FLUOOOOSH!

And a huge sphere of black flames emerged above the skies, as he pointed his right hand's index finger at the mountain.

"[Dark Sun]"

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM…!
