Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

With Orion and Prophet Onyx joining the fray, the tide of battle quickly turned in their favor.

The Slaughter Tyrant, sensing the shift, attempted to flee.

Whoosh!

Orion hurled his Bone War Trident from a distance, but the Slaughter Tyrant's tail coiled around it, knocking it aside.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Damn monster, where do you think you're going?!"

Seeing the creature trying to escape, Elder Rendall roared, his body crackling with electricity as his eyes transformed into glowing arcs of lightning.

Zzzzz...

Electricity surged through Rendall's body as he leapt through the horde of monsters like a bolt of lightning, closing the distance to the Slaughter Tyrant in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Rendall swung his spiked club, clashing violently with the Slaughter Tyrant's drill-like arms.

The impact sent Rendall flying far back.

Fortunately, the Slaughter Tyrant's escape route was now blocked by Orion.

Prophet Onyx, showing some tactical sense, followed closely behind the Abyssal Dragon, breaking through the monster horde. However, the sheer number of dark creatures soon surrounded him, trapping him in the middle of the battlefield.

Orion raised his hand, and the Bone War Trident reappeared in his grasp. He leapt down from the Abyssal Dragon, instructing it to stand by, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Slaughter Tyrant at any moment.

Facing a creature like the Slaughter Tyrant, whose entire body was a weapon, Orion didn't dare take any chances. He immediately activated Titan's Rage, and his Ghostbone Armor extended, encasing him in a protective shell.

Now, Orion looked even more formidable.

With Titan's Rage activated, Orion's height surged, making him nearly 30 feet tall—towering over the Slaughter Tyrant.

"WAAAGH!"

Orion let out a battle cry, his killing intent palpable, as he activated Swift Charge and sprinted toward the Slaughter Tyrant.

Hisssss...

The Slaughter Tyrant emitted a metallic screech as it charged toward Orion.

Orion could see it clearly—the creature's long tail whipped through the air, its attack arriving before its body.

Orion activated Shadowstep, twisting his body to dodge the incoming tail spike.

At the same time, he swung his Bone War Trident, driving it deep into the Slaughter Tyrant's tail.

Crack!

The trident tore a deep gash into the tail, and the barbed spike at the end looked like it might fall off at any moment.

Orion had successfully wounded the Slaughter Tyrant, but the creature's counterattack came swiftly.

Its arms, sharp and deadly, aimed straight for Orion's heart.

Orion twisted his body again, dodging the drill-like arm, and swung his trident upward, clashing with the wing-like blades descending from above.

Boom! Your journey continues on empire

Orion stood firm, while the Slaughter Tyrant was knocked back several meters by the force of the impact.

This clash made Orion realize just how powerful the Slaughter Tyrant was. Its strength was not something Rendall or the others could handle head-on.

"Be careful! Don't try to take it head-on!"

But it was too late.

Seeing the Slaughter Tyrant wounded and knocked back, Elder Rendall thought he had an opening. He charged forward with his spiked club.

Boom!

Another violent clash, and a massive figure was sent flying once again—it was Rendall.

Not only was Rendall thrown back, but his spiked club also slipped from his grasp, landing on the battlefield.

"Prophet!"

Orion shouted a warning, and Prophet Onyx immediately understood. He rushed over to tend to Elder Rendall.

Meanwhile, Orion launched another charge at the Slaughter Tyrant.

Thud!

Taking advantage of the creature's momentary instability, Orion struck true, driving his trident deep into the Slaughter Tyrant's chest, leaving a gaping hole.

However, the Slaughter Tyrant didn't die.

Instead, it let out a furious roar, coordinating its drill arms, wing blades, and tail spike in a deadly assault on Orion.

Orion didn't have time to retrieve his Bone War Trident, so he let go of it, driving it deeper into the creature's body, further wounding it.

As he retreated, the Bloodthirsty Trident appeared in his hand. He swung it horizontally, trying to block the tail spike flying toward him.

Boom!

A powerful shockwave erupted from the clash, pushing Orion back toward the Slaughter Tyrant.

Behind him, the Slaughter Tyrant's tail had been severed by the Bloodthirsty Trident, a portion of it falling to the ground.

Just as the Slaughter Tyrant's drill arms and wing blades were about to strike, Orion twisted his body once more, and the Bone War Trident reappeared in his hand.

Clang!

Orion, wielding a trident in each hand, collided with the drill arm. He used the momentum to propel himself away, causing the Slaughter Tyrant's attack to miss.

At that moment, the Abyssal Dragon behind him unleashed another Abyssal Flame Bomb, aiming directly at the Slaughter Tyrant.

Boom!

The explosion at such close range was intense, and even with his Ghostbone Armor, Orion felt the impact.

The surrounding dark creatures were obliterated, leaving only a few dark source crystals scattered on the ground.

In the distance, Prophet Onyx and Elder Rendall both coughed up blood, staggering as they struggled to stay on their feet.

As the sound of the explosion faded, Orion couldn't see the Slaughter Tyrant's body, causing his brow to furrow.

But then, he spotted the Abyssal Dragon in the distance, its jaws clamped tightly around the Slaughter Tyrant.

Orion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be sure, he sprinted over and, with a swift swing of his trident, decapitated the Slaughter Tyrant.

Only then did the creature stop struggling in the Abyssal Dragon's jaws.

Orion sliced open the Slaughter Tyrant's grotesque head, pulling out a dark source crystal the size of an apple. He then turned to the Abyssal Dragon and said, "Its body is yours."

The Abyssal Dragon let out a low growl, using its front claws to assist as it began devouring the Slaughter Tyrant's corpse beside Orion.

"Can you still fight?"

Orion pocketed the dark source crystal, retrieved his trident, and approached Prophet Onyx and Elder Rendall.

"As long as it's not another one of those big bastards, I'm good!"

Elder Rendall coughed twice, raising his spiked club, clearly determined to keep fighting.

"Chie... chieftain, I can still fight too!"

Prophet Onyx's body trembled slightly, and his voice was shaky.

It was obvious that Orion's successful kill of the Alpha-level dark creature had stirred something deep within him, filling him with excitement.

"Alright then, let's finish off these dark creatures and collect the dark source crystals. We'll deal with everything else later!"

With that, Orion rejoined the battle.

Wherever Orion went, bodies piled up, and the battlefield was left in ruins.

Before long, the Abyssal Dragon, having finished devouring the Slaughter Tyrant, also rejoined the fight.

With Orion and the Abyssal Dragon attacking from both sides, the pressure on the horde members atop the walls was greatly reduced.

After a while, the stronger bloodline warriors began jumping down from the walls, joining the slaughter of the dark creatures.

Everyone knew that without the threat of Alpha-level dark creatures, these monsters were nothing more than resources to help them grow stronger—an opportunity they couldn't afford to miss.

Soon after, Lilith and Lysinthia also leapt down from the walls, standing atop the Twilight Viper as they joined the hunt.

This defensive battle lasted over five hours from start to finish.

From anxiety to tension, from bravery to exhilaration, the process was intense, but every member of the Stoneheart Horde witnessed Orion's strength and benefited from the walls he had strongly advocated for.

From that day forward, no one in the horde ever complained about Orion's decision to construct the walls.
