Chapter 277: C269
The backflow of molten air instantly evaporated the dense storm of ice spears in the sky, shattering the magic circle beneath the clouds and violently disrupting the magic in a highly unreasonable manner.
Wanda, floating mid-air, was forced back by the scorching airflow for more than ten kilometers. She stared at the torrent of lava surging into the sky, the intense heatwaves so powerful that they evaporated the thick clouds.
As the molten sparks scattered across the heavens, they transformed into billions of fiery meteors, falling in all directions. Fortunately, during the earlier battle, Thor, Wanda, and the others had deliberately lured Surtur away from the main battlefield. Otherwise, even the mere aftershocks of the fight would have caused catastrophic casualties on a large scale.
The fiery meteors falling across the sky were like massive, brilliant fireworks—a breathtaking sight. But neither Thor, Wanda, Natasha, nor the other gods had time to appreciate the view.
"This guy is ridiculously tough," Wanda muttered, floating in mid-air. She glanced back to see Natasha, Sergei, and the others flying toward her, while Thor and the other gods had surrounded Surtur, forming a loose circle at a cautious distance.
"His skin is way too thick—our attacks can't even break through his defenses," Natasha said, gripping the cross-shaped sword in her hand and staring at the towering figure before her, distorted by the waves of heat.
"He's monstrously strong," Sergei added with a grimace, cracking his neck with a sharp click. "Not only is his outer shell nearly impenetrable, but his insides are just as invulnerable. Even our most devastating internal attacks don't seem to work."
The others wore similar expressions of frustration. They had never faced an opponent like this before—one who was not only impervious to damage but also possessed overwhelming strength and mastery over fire magic. Wanda's layers of magic shields had barely kept her and the others from being scorched alive.
To make matters worse, Surtur's agility and speed were shockingly at odds with his colossal stature, towering over 300 meters. His sword strikes and movements were swift and precise—far beyond what anyone could anticipate.
