Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

Chapter 717: A war of attrition



"Bro, this fellow is very sinister and cautious. We can't wait any longer!" Leonidas transmitted to Orion telepathically. Then, with a roar, he charged towards Arch Lord Kian.

Simultaneously, Orion also unleashed Instant Impact, determined to deliver a one-hit kill to Dren.

The battle erupted with astonishing speed, but the opponents reacted just as swiftly, as both sides had been intently watching each other.

"Dren, Wulfric, you two surround and kill the other enemy. Don't let him escape."

"After killing him, go down and eliminate that lich."

Arch Lord Kian also let out a roar. Energy surged from his body, coalescing into roiling black clouds that enveloped Leonidas and Orion.

Arch Lord Kian's ambition was vast; he intended to wipe out all his enemies in one fell swoop.

Beneath the shroud of black clouds, wisps of acrid green smoke rose from Kian's body, transforming into swarms of bizarre, venomous snake-like insects.

The grotesque insects wriggled their tails, darting through the black clouds to assault Leonidas and Orion.

"Lmao… You dare show off such petty tricks before me? Shatter!"

"Roar…"

A pure, resonant dragon's roar echoed. Leonidas opened his great maw, and an invisible sonic wave rippled outwards, shattering all the insectoid creatures.

At the same time, Orion activated his Titan Form. His physical strength, power, and the potency of his bloodline rapidly surged.

"Go to hell!"

Orion, like an indomitable Titan god, fearlessly charged towards Dren.

Meanwhile, Leonidas on the other side blazed with an intense firelight, his entire being like a miniature exploding sun, incredibly dazzling.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that every single one of Leonidas's dragon scales was inscribed with magical runes, which, under Leonidas's activation, glowed with a potent magical aura.

The twin wings on Leonidas's back suddenly elementalized, transforming into two chains forged of crimson flame.

The chains tore directly through the void, binding Hellhound Knight Kian in place.

"Over-tier magic! You truly are an Over-tier powerhouse!"

Arch Lord Kian, though bound, showed no signs of panic. Instead, this confirmed some of his suspicions.

For the dragon powerhouse before him to dare initiate a battle, how could he not have profound confidence and hidden trump cards?

"If this is the extent of your Over-tier magic's strength, you are dead." Kian stared at Leonidas, his tone sinister, his eyes incomparably vicious and malevolent.

Being bound by the flame chains, Kian already knew this was a magic that could not only restrain the body but also seal the spirit.

In other words, Arch Lord Kian and Leonidas had entered a state of mutual struggle and attrition.

At this moment, it was difficult for either of them to join any other ongoing fights.

Zzz-zzz-zzz!

That was the sound of arcing electricity. Orion appeared directly in front of Dren, his gaze coldly fixed upon him.

"How can this be… How can you be so powerful? Do you truly possess the bloodline of a Titan? This…"

A series of crackling sounds erupted within Dren's body. Before he could finish his last words, he died under Orion's trident.

Orion remained silent, a spherical wave field rapidly materializing around him.

The next second, ka-ka-ka sounds echoed behind Orion as an enormous pair of wolf jaws snapped shut, attempting to swallow him whole.

Fortunately, the wave field blocked Wulfric's sneak attack.

Orion thrust his trident backwards, a violent surge of transcendent power erupting. Wulfric sensed the danger, released his bite, and his entire form once again vanished into the void.

This was Wulfric's ability, Ghostly Stride, which allowed him to render his body ethereal, diminish his presence, and conceal himself within the void, facilitating ambushes and escapes.

Orion hovered in the void, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

When his abyssal dragon Xalathar had advanced to the Legendary level, Orion's perceptive abilities had been enhanced through the feedback.

Despite this, Orion still couldn't pinpoint Wulfric's exact location, only sensing intermittent flickers of danger.

It was precisely this faint sense of danger that prevented Wulfric from launching another sneak attack.

A standoff thus formed: Leonidas binding Arch Lord Kian, while the demonic wolf Wulfric hunted Orion.

Compared to this high-level confrontation, the battles raging at lower altitudes and on the ground had long since reached a white-hot intensity.

Hellhounds, with bared fangs and claws, pounced on their enemies, leaving trails of fire in their wake.

Within these paths of fire, one cave spider after another was incinerated or torn apart.

However, from the corpses of the fallen cave spiders, skeleton warriors soon began to climb out, rejoining the battle.

The skeleton warriors, fearless of death, assaulted the hellhounds, dragging many of them down to their doom as well.

The wolf-mounted cavalry regiment did not opt for a direct charge; in a massive battle like this, those who charged headlong were often mere cannon fodder.

The wolf-mounted cavalry regiment guarded the area behind the cave spiders, intercepting any demonic wolves and hellhounds that broke through the defensive formations.

The snow wolves raced across the battlefield, their movements agile, tearing into their enemies with no lack of speed.

Of course, the wolf-mounted cavalry regiment also provided a defensive wall for Vexis and Lorelia, who were commanding the battle from the rear.

In the rear, Lorelia was wholly focused on directing the battle. She had a portion of the cave spiders weave expansive webs behind the main battle lines.

Many of the demonic wolves and hellhounds that broke through the front lines fell into these webs, their movements restricted.

Naturally, under the searing flames, the webs were quickly destroyed.

However, Lorelia would immediately have the young spiders spin new ones.

This was a war of attrition, a battle of endurance. Thoughts of life and death had been cast aside; the only thing that existed in everyone's mind was the fight.

"Take this. You can command those skeleton soldiers too," Vexis said, handing Lorelia a scepter.

Lorelia looked at the scepter in her hand, then turned her head to look at Vexis, somewhat stunned.

Lorelia wanted to ask something more, but Vexis was already controlling her Aarakocra mount, soaring into the sky and heading towards the center of the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, another Hellhound Knight had appeared—a Legendary-level lord, and the hellhound he rode was also Legendary.

If such a terrifying powerhouse on the front lines went unopposed, no matter how many little spiders and wyverns there were, they would simply not be enough to defeat it.

Lorelia blinked her large, pretty eyes a few times, then suddenly raised the scepter and shouted to a nearby squad of undead guards.

"Kneel!"

The squad of Alpha-level undead guards knelt neatly in unison. Seeing this, the light in Lorelia's eyes shone even brighter. To her, this was immensely amusing.

As if she had obtained a very rare and entertaining new toy, Lorelia began to control the skeleton warriors on the battlefield, having them coordinate with the cave spiders.

"Left side… Pounce… Bite them to death…"

"No, no… Go right… There are enemies there…"

On the front lines, after Lorelia took command of the skeleton warriors, Dirtclaw and Thundar found themselves fortunate.

Because Lorelia dispatched an Alpha-level undead to each of their positions, the two, who had been constantly at a disadvantage, could finally catch their breath.
