章 1348: Exchanging Blood Elixirs

-----

(Drake's POV)

After that battle, I was able to accurately gauge Surtr's strength after becoming a Rank 6 Initial Stage Divine Fire Dragon. He was really strong, in fact, he could probably beat Rank 7 Divine Beasts in this current stage.

If he had been able to reach this Rank, he could had defeated Trafalh's transformation by himself, and most likely could have stopped Erebus from possessing the Mountain Guardian using his Origin Flames, which would work really well against the Chaos Flames.

After all, the Chaos Flames felt like a slightly weaker, yet different version of the Flames of the End, so his Origin Flames completely counter them. The boy has a really low self-esteem, but he's actually quite amazing.

He reminds me a bit of myself when I started my second life as a dragon. I was also constantly doubting myself, and often felt depressed because I couldn't change the world's tragedies from happening around me… It was frustrating.
