Chapter 1629 Sparring Against The Ice Queen

1629 Sparring Against The Ice Queen
-----
In these last two and a half weeks, an intense training began with the help of the Ice Queen. The first thing she made me do was to fight her head-on. Yes, to fight her Divine Soul, something that at first believed was unfair against her because she had yet to revive.
And yeah, it was still unfair. But not for her, it was unfair against me. "Are you sure about this?"
I found myself within the depths of my own Divine Realm, the third of it that was born out of a part of her own Divine Realm, which she gifted to me, fusing it with my own.
This was a place full of frost and ice, and many types of ice attribute divine monsters and treasures. It was also a place that allowed her to dwell within my Divine Realm and appear near me.
"Me? Do you believe I am scared of you, Drake?"
"N-No! That's not it, Venerable. I was just thinking that, without reviving yet…"
"Hmph, you're looking down on me too much. Let's begin immediately. I will show you the difference between you and me. Once we're done, you'll have to imagine that difference multiplied by ten, that's the difference between you and Pandemonium on his current, weakened form."
The Ice Queen greeted me with her Divine Venerable Soul, shining brightly with Azure Light. She was overflowing with both Divine Power, Mana, and many other refined energies. Even Spiritual Energy and Azure Ice Essence.
And the most surprising part was that, while I might have a hypothetic number of, let's say 100.000 Azure Ice Essence reserves… Well, she probably had a hundred times that. And that's only the leftover power she has before reviving.
"Then I won't hold back."
I nodded as I readied myself, releasing my combined Divinity Aura, fusing all Divinities into a single rainbow-colored stream of ethereal energy, and then further fusing it with my Soul Ether.
At the same time, I summoned all my weapons, wielding them with six different arms. My size had kept itself smaller, only being fifty meters of height.
Meanwhile, she was only ten meters of height right now.
The difference between me and she was stark, yet she looked up to me with a confident smile.
Not one full of selfishness or cockiness, it was one full of wisdom and inner strength.
Despite being smaller than me…
It was as if I was looking up to her.
An imaginary version of her appeared before me, as the stream of energies her soul released reached the skies.
And I saw it.
Her true form.
An over a kilometer-big titaness.
Was she bigger than Skadi?
Incredible…
"You're seeing it too?" She asked.
"S-Seeing it…?" I wondered.
"That is but a fragment of who I was." She spoke. "Drake, Venerables aren't just beings right above Rank 10. Our ranks are further divided even more between one another. Our weakest reached Rank 17; you understand how much of a difference that is when compared to a measly Rank 10 such as you?"
"W-What?!" I muttered in utter shock. "But I thought you could only get to Rank 10?"
"You were completely wrong then." She said. "What every Venerable strives to accomplish is to break through that wall…"
"Wall?!"
"The wall of Rank 20. A wall no Venerable has ever pierced. What separates us Venerables from the Primordial Gods themselves."
"So that's…"
"And Pandemonium was a being that could even fight toe to toe, or even surpass the Primordial Gods."
"…!"
"You're finally understanding the scope of the battle you're going into now?"
"I…"
"Well, you'll understand better after this battle."
After she said that, the entire battlefield fell into a calm and silence.
Our Auras constantly clashed, by combining everything I had, even my demonic powers, I could barely match her Aura to an extent.
Yet I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed even before the battle started!
"I'm going, be prepared."
She even alerted me she was attacking.
Just how confident is this woman?
"I'll use this fist. Try to block it or evade it."
She even told me what fist she was using?!
"Now I'm coming. At the count of three."
Wait a second, is she for real?
I am starting to get pissed off now.
"Two."
She's coming…
"Three!"
FLASH!
Her entire Soul erupted with a flash of azure light, everything behind her suddenly became an enormous mountain of frost, within a split second, she appeared right before me.
Her fist was already sinking into my chest, breaking my ribs and reaching my heart. An explosion of frost divine essence came from her punch, puncturing a hole through my body.
BOOOM!
"Ugh?! ARGHH…!"
She was so fast I couldn't see her!
She simply teleported there!
Yet that wasn't the case.
She actually just moved.
How is this possible?!
"I'm kicking your face now, with my left leg."
"Ah!"
I quickly harnessed my Divine Aura into my head, this time I fought her only with my Ice Dragon King form, a grave mistake.
Her leg descended towards me as I tried to block her blow with all six of my weapons, a barrage of attacks and magic reached her.
Yet…
CLAAASH!
Her kick released a wave of almighty power, all attacks were simply destroyed, my weapons were blown away, my arms were shattered and fractured, some torn to pieces.
My head exploded, my brains and everything splattering over the ground.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't do a single thing!
What's this?!
How is this fucking fair!
"Stand up." She said. "The only reason I am even doing this to begin with is because you're special, Drake! Your body can endlessly regenerate and is ageless. You're a true Immortal. And we're going to abuse that power of yours… So you can beat beings beyond your Realm!"
"RAAAAH!"
Using all my power, I regenerated my body back, attacking her with a myriad of claw, tail, and biting attacks as I grew my nine heads, transforming into my Dragon King Form.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRASH!
Yet she simply parried and blocked all blows with her nails, and then kicked my chest, puncturing yet another hole through it and almost making all my heads explode.
BOOOM!
This is… the difference between just a fragment of her and me.
And against Pandemonium…
It is ten times that?!
