Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

God Blood—that was an incomparably precious existence.

Even demigod powerhouses possessed only a few drops within their bodies.

Moreover, God Blood influenced the strength and quantity of a demigod powerhouse's divine power; it was not something a demigod would easily give away.

Take Orion, for example. He had been a member of the Champions Alliance for so long and had made significant contributions.

However, neither Commander Thresh nor Deputy Commander Edward had shown any intention of gifting him God Blood.

Then again, with Orion's current Legendary-level strength, consuming God Blood would indeed be a waste.

Croak!

Croak! Croak!

Suddenly, a bizarre and terrifyingly strange cry echoed from within the darkness.

Leonidas turned his head, looking towards his right.

It was a bat-like monster with a humanoid beast's body, its physique considerably larger than Leonidas in his fire dragon form.

It had blood-red skin, dull grayish-white pupils, a mouth full of fangs, and claws as sharp as hooks. Its unfurled black leathery wings were covered in a dense array of blood-red runes.

As the black leathery wings flapped, those blood-red runes seemed to flow like liquid—mysterious, mighty, and exceedingly bizarre.

"Bro, be very careful! This is a divine monster. Absolutely do not let it corrupt you," Leonidas warned, his voice grave.

As he spoke, the flames on his body flared intensely, a layer of fiery light covering his entire form and enveloping Orion within it as well.

Orion activated his Battle Will Surge, shrinking the defensive perimeter of his spherical wave field to deploy a protective layer around himself.

Far off, within the darkness.

Arch Lord Lestat glanced at Kian, his voice remarkably calm.

"That bloodsucking demon alone isn't enough. It needs assistance."

"Creating an illusion within my Dreamscape Barrier shouldn't be difficult for you infernal beings, right?"

This battle was not Lestat's solo performance.

Kian chuckled, "Hehe. Not difficult at all. That's precisely what we excel at."

He stepped forward and took out a goat-like skull from within his attire.

Green smoke wisped from the skull. Arch Lord Kian closed his eyes, his entire body's power surging as countless streams of energy flowed into the skull.

When the skull transformed from white to pure black, Kian opened his eyes and sent the skull into the Dreamscape Barrier.

"Watch now, there's a good show to see!" Kian cackled sinisterly.

Far away, within the Dreamscape Barrier, Leonidas and Orion, their defenses raised, were already charging towards the bloodsucking demon.

However, when they were halfway there, Leonidas came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

Because in that fleeting moment, one bloodsucking demon after another had appeared in the surrounding void.

Countless bloodsucking demons surrounded Leonidas and Orion from all sides, creating a scalp-numbing and immensely oppressive sensation.

Leonidas instantly detected that something was amiss. "Not good! An illusion has been cast upon this void!" he shouted, warning Orion.

The battle they were about to initiate abruptly fizzled out; the target they had previously locked onto had also vanished.

This stifling frustration made Leonidas extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, the eight fire dragons that had flown out earlier also returned to his vicinity under his control, forming a defensive perimeter.

"Bro, do you have any means to defend against illusions?" Leonidas asked.

"Yes!" Orion answered decisively. When he transformed into an Ancient Giant, he possessed strong resistance to illusions, and his Titan's Roar could dispel them.

Furthermore, when Orion activated Instant Impact, the powerful sonic wave accompanying the attack could also achieve the effect of dispelling illusions.

"Good, then!" Leonidas sounded relieved.

"Bro, from now on, just take care of yourself. We brothers can't be defeated here, you know."

Orion could hear that there wasn't a trace of fear in Leonidas's tone; instead, it was filled with an eager, almost restless excitement.

...

Emerald Dream Realm, Marshlight Sanctuary border.

The sky above was still veiled by a black barrier, unshaken by any force.

In the lower sky and on the ground, the battle raged like a wildfire, exceptionally brutal.

Gustalon, Little Four, Little Five, and Rumbold staunchly defended the four cardinal directions, guarding Vexis and Lorelia within their perimeter.

Originally, Skeleton General Rumbold could also summon skeleton warriors, but his death ripple ability was highly effective in a localized area, playing a significant role in protecting Vexis and Lorelia.

Therefore, Rumbold had also been integrated into this combat team.

Outside the death ripple, eight Legendary-level powerhouses from the enemy camp had appeared, completely surrounding Rumbold's group.

Among these eight lords were Wulfric of the Nethervarg Soulflayers, two infernal beings riding hellhounds, an Ashenveil Sprite that had rooted its tendrils deep into the earth, and a petrifying lizard with a body like a giant dragon.

The other three were humanoid Bloodreavers.

At the Legendary-level stage, a five-versus-eight lineup did not represent an insurmountable gap.

Gustalon, Little Four, Little Five, and Rumbold, guarding the outer perimeter, felt no fear.

Furthermore, they still had Soraya and her sand scorpion armies as upcoming reinforcements; everyone was confident.

"Focus on the battlefield. Don't get distracted," Vexis said, glancing at Lorelia, who was surreptitiously looking up at the sky. She kindly reminded her.

"Oh, okay, Vexis!"

This was the first time Lorelia had ever seen so many Legendary-level powerhouses on a battlefield.

Such a grand scene was deeply shocking to her.

Vexis continued, "Pay attention to reinforcing positions. Command those undead and skeleton warriors to charge forward. The warriors on the front lines need them."

At this moment, Lorelia held Vexis's scepter, an artifact that could command a portion of the undead armies.

Ever since Skeleton General Rumbold had arrived, Vexis had received assistance, allowing her scepter to be lent to Lorelia for auxiliary command.

Having had prior experience commanding undead, Lorelia managed to direct her own cave spiders while simultaneously commanding the undead armies with relative ease.

"Go up! Charge up!" Lorelia commanded a squad of skeleton warriors to reinforce the front line.

In the area ahead, the cave spiders fighting on the very front line had all perished. Only a single hellhound, its entire body wreathed in flames, was ferociously tearing at its target.

That was Dirtclaw. He frequently tried to curry favor with Lorelia, so she still paid quite a bit of attention to him.

The Dirtclaw at this moment was like a mad dog; any enemy that appeared before his eyes would be coldly and ruthlessly bitten to death.

As fate would have it, the ones pouncing on and tearing at Dirtclaw were precisely the hellhounds from under Arch Lord Kian.

When hellhound met hellhound, both were filled with mutual animosity.

The way Dirtclaw and his opponent glared at each other was as if they were fighting for territory, and also as if they were contending for mating rights.

The scene was very bloody, and also intensely fierce and cruel.

Dirtclaw, as the sole hellhound on their side, was incredibly conspicuous and also an object of intense hatred for the enemy hellhound race.

In their eyes, Dirtclaw was a traitor, a heretic who deserved to be torn to shreds.

One hellhound after another surrounded Dirtclaw, intending to tear him limb from limb.

After the cave spiders protecting Dirtclaw had all died, just as Dirtclaw was feeling beset by grave danger, a squad of skeleton warriors charged into the battlefield in the nick of time, relieving his pressure.

"Dirtclaw is the strongest hellhound!"

"Awoooo…"
