Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe."

Surtr spoke calmly, but did not draw his sword.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson gem on the sword hilt shone brightly, swirling around the battlefield, and the intense magical power was ignited at the same moment.

A towering pillar of fire instantly engulfed the entire training ground.

All around, the solid walls that could withstand the battle of the gods were crumbling, and the flames stretched upwards, piercing the clouds in the sky, like a raging volcano erupting.

Ophelia had reached the edge of the battlefield, where a barrier of flames stretched before her. The dazzling light blinded her, and she even stopped breathing, fearing that the scalding air would burn her throat.

In reality, she didn't feel particularly hot, perhaps because Surtr deliberately made it so.

But the melting bricks around them already proved the power of the flames.

With such control, it's no wonder that Saber's attacks had no effect on her opponents; even the sun's radiance had to bow before her flames.

"Hmph, why be surprised? It's just a flame of this magnitude. My body is far more magnificent than this."

Seemingly sensing her Master's emotions, Saber snorted coldly, showing her disdain for Surtr.

This level of skill is so simple that it can be achieved with a wave of the hand.

If his true form were to appear, he could perform a planetary incineration at any time.

One sword blows Northern Europe away, two swords sink Europe.

"..."

This guy has a strange competitive streak when it comes to Surtr.

Ophelia glanced at her servant.

She thought it was good that he was focusing his attention on the other person; at least she wouldn't have to listen to his crazy ramblings all day.

Ignoring him, Ophelia turned her attention back to the inside of the pillar of fire.

How is the Queen?

The other party is standing in the very center of this sea of ​​fire. Even if you have complete confidence in them, you can't help but feel uneasy at this moment.

With a sense of worry in her heart, she looked at the Valkyries who were not far from them.

But the other party did not focus on the flames; instead, they looked up.

"Snowing."

One of the black-haired Valkyries murmured.

snow?

At a time like this?

Even knowing that the Valkyries don't have the ability to joke, Ophelia still immediately became suspicious upon seeing the crimson figure before her, but then she saw it.

A glistening snowflake fell in front of me.

It really snowed.

Ophelia parted her lips slightly, raised her hand, and snowflakes drifted into her palm. But the snowflakes did not melt because of the warmth of her palm; instead, they radiated a bone-chilling cold.

Ophelia instinctively flung it in front of her.

The location of that flame.

The snowflakes continued forward until they disappeared into the towering pillar of fire. It was at this moment that Ophelia witnessed another incredible scene.

The sound of ice crystals condensing came from ahead. The blinding flames disappeared rapidly, and transparent ice crystals rose from beneath their feet, extending upwards along the pillar of fire.

The towering pillar of fire, resembling the Tower of Babel, changed its nature in just a few seconds, its transparent ice surface reflecting the gentle sunlight overhead.

"As expected, a usurper is a usurper. He was frozen so easily. How shameful!"

Saber's face immediately showed a look of disdain.

"This is the Queen's power..."

Ophelia looked up.

Compared to her own servant's tendency to be a troll, she felt only awe at this moment. It was the first time she had ever directly experienced the other party's divine power; even the snow-covered landscape of Northern Europe couldn't compare to the shock she felt now.

However, as shocking as it may be.

"That way, there's absolutely no way to see what's inside."

Ophelia muttered to herself.

And the words had barely left his mouth.

As if in response to her, the ice pillar in front of her began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared on the surface, like a towering tree about to collapse.

A crisp sound, like glass.

The enormous ice pillar vanished in an instant, turning into shimmering fragments that scattered in the air.

It was Skadi's doing, as expected.

The scene on the battlefield was now also exposed to view.

Surtr exhaled a hot breath, and faint white mist rose from his body as ice crystals rapidly fell off.

His gaze was fixed on the deity ahead, and his originally calm expression took on a slightly serious tone.

I underestimated Skadi; ​​she can even freeze the flames of the Heavenly Fire.

Although Kevin seems to have done the same thing in the comics, hers is an upgraded version with added concepts.

It's actually not bad.

I couldn't read anything from the other person's expression, and I wasn't sure if they would be willing to do it again.

However, she could definitely come again.

Surtr gripped his sword again.

Magic is the least valuable thing to her now.

Although this terrible land can't provide her with any magic, the biological information she obtained from Tiamat has allowed her to directly transform her heart into a dragon's heart, so that she can replenish her magic with every breath.

This kind of attack is just a normal attack to her.

He infused the sword with magic once more.

At the same time, Skadi also made a move.

Pointing her short cane at Surtr, she spoke directly as if giving a command.

"The Great God's Cage".

The Infernal Ice and Flame Hell: Chapter Fourteen - Special Military Advisor

The Great God's Cage.

It was the powerful barrier Odin used to imprison Surut.

Skadi has lived in this world for three thousand years and has thoroughly studied the structure of this barrier.

Normally, such a powerful barrier could not be activated in an instant, but Surtr is already somewhat inferior to Sulth, so using a simplified version is sufficient.

As for the arrangements, they have already been prepared.

"The Great God's Cage".

As Skadi finished speaking, Surtr keenly sensed the immense pressure emanating from all directions.

Look around.

Just moments ago, the ice crystals containing Skadi's magic, which had been scattered from the sky, coalesced into countless runes, arranging themselves in the air according to a certain pattern.

In the blink of an eye, the light of the runes illuminated the training ground.

Ophelia instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, only Skadi remained on the battlefield.

In front of her, a miniature sun was suspended in mid-air, and through its golden shell, one could faintly see the flames dancing inside.

That was the prison built for Surtr.

"So, the Queen has won now?"

Having spent so much time in Northern Europe, and with someone directly involved by her side, Ophelia clearly knew what that barrier was all about.

In the world of magic, a barrier refers to a space with special effects created through magic, and it is quite common.

From dispelling idlers to creating enchanted barriers, this is a magic technique with both a very high ceiling and a very low floor.

As for the effects inside the barrier, generally speaking, the more targeted the barrier, the better the effect.

For example, a barrier with a wide range of effects, such as dispelling idlers, can only work on ordinary people at most. Conversely, if it is targeted at a specific person, the effect of the barrier will increase exponentially.

Of course, the specific effect also depends a lot on the magician's skill level.

The great cage before them was a barrier that Odin specifically designed for Surtr.

Surtr inherited the other's power and should therefore be within the range of the barrier's effect.

Once trapped inside, escape is virtually impossible.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the cage on the battlefield that resembled a small sun.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... until more than ten seconds later, when everyone thought the other could no longer come out.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from inside the cage.

Golden fragments fell onto the surface of the sphere. Skadi sensed the state of the barrier and nodded silently in her heart.

Sure enough, besides Surut, she had something else mixed in with her.

The Great God's Cage is a barrier specially created for Surtur; simply put, it's a special defense barrier.

But now Surtr has been able to forcibly break the barrier, which clearly indicates that the source of his power is not just the Surtr family.

"It seems this technique will need to be adjusted later."

Skadi muttered to herself, without showing any surprise on her face.

"But before that, we need to finish this fight first, and then it will probably be a long battle."

At noon, inside the castle, in Ophelia's room, came a man's voice.

"Hehe, looks like things are going well over there."

In the illusory projection, a handsome man with long golden hair looked at Ophelia in front of him and chuckled.

"I didn't expect that the one sent by Humanity would be another Surtr. How interesting. So, what was the final result? Who won?"

Kirshtalia asked curiously.

"Was it a win or a loss? Actually, it wasn't decided. After both sides dismantled the training ground, they tacitly stopped fighting. It should be said that they were evenly matched."

Ophelia answered.

She watched from the sidelines for a whole morning. The battle between the two sides was intense, with Noble Phantasm-level attacks being unleashed like they were free. However, after several hours of fighting, neither side had gained a significant advantage.

However, if we really have to say which side has the advantage, it's probably Surtr.

The opponent was even able to adapt to Skadi's attacks during the battle, and eventually became basically immune to them, which could be said to put them in an invincible position.

"Can she really stand up to the King of the Lostbelt? It seems your next move will be quite difficult. Is it possible to win her over? From your description, she seems to be a member of this Lostbelt as well."

"Kirshtalia asked."

"I'm sorry, I haven't confirmed that yet."

"Norseland is a rare and important Lostbelt, and the Queen is a visionary ruler. If possible, we hope she will agree with the new world we are pursuing."

Kirshtalia said things that were completely unlike what a competitor would say.

"I will do my best."

Ophelia said.

"Oh, right, Kenneth will be arriving at your side soon. Use him however you like; he might be able to temporarily alleviate your combat strength issues."

Kennis, an envoy dispatched by Kirshtalia to investigate other Lostbelts.

"Thank you for your consideration, but I'm afraid I cannot control the god Kennis."

"It's alright, she'll take action on her own once she finds the enemy."
