With the protection of a blood shield, Rendall had managed to win the battle, though it had been difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Duke Richard's face darkened. The knight who had just died was his personal commander, a strong warrior even among Alpha-level fighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not fallen in battle but in this duel, and Grand Duke Richard struggled to accept that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, what an exciting duel! Now, who wants to play a round with me? I'll offer ten slots into the Dragon Nest as a prize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the Dragon Nest, Grand Duke Richard's expression suddenly stiffened. He turned to look at Lord Jorik.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Jorik, are you serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jorik nodded, and, seeing the others watching him, casually spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Dragon Nest has the ability to purify and alter bloodlines. Each time it's activated, it consumes a vast amount of resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you wish for your younger generation to enter, you'll have to defeat our dragon warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alternatively, you can offer something of value in exchange for a slot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion, Lireesa, Dain, and Richard all fell into deep thought, considering whether to accept the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion glanced at Drakthul, the only Alpha-level warrior he had with him who could possibly fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Orion hesitated, Grand Duke Richard, from the human kingdom, spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Jorik, humans will take this challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jorik nodded, thinking for a moment before replying seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, but the stake will be the dragon egg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Duke Richard nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's have them prepare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Jorik and Richard were discussing, Lireesa, standing beside Orion, suddenly communicated with him telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Orion, don't you find it strange? Isn't Jorik being a little too generous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's hand, which had been holding his goblet, stiffened for a moment before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Elder Lireesa of the Blood Elf tribe had lived for a long time, so her words were certainly not without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Lireesa, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to our tribe's records, every time the Dragon Nest opens, it consumes a massive amount of dragon blood, and only fifty slots are available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's expression remained unchanged as he continued to sip his drink, quietly asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is no ordinary dragon blood. At the very least, it's blood from a Legendary-level dragon. Jorik's blood and life force are strong, so it's clear that he isn't using his own blood to activate the Dragon Nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, they must be using the blood of Arch Lord Frostsire. The slots are incredibly valuable, and I don't understand why Jorik would wager something so precious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Orion's pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion was about to ask more questions, the duel in the arena began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the human side, an Alpha-level knight appeared, riding a beast-blood mount at the peak of hero-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the dragon side, a half-dragon emerged. This half-dragon hadn't fully transformed but was much taller than an average human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the match began, his back suddenly tore open, and a pair of dragon wings slowly sprouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two roars, the two warriors charged toward each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through the charge, the half-dragon soared into the air and released a blue fireball from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human knight raised his large shield, which flashed with magical runes, and a faint red defensive barrier appeared, successfully blocking the fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the explosion rang out, causing Orion, Lireesa, Jorik, Dain, and Richard to all stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the five lords didn't look toward the arena but instead toward the southern sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant the fireball and shield collided, there had been a loud explosion from the direction of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jorik exclaimed in shock. Without saying another word, he transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion raised an eyebrow and looked at Lireesa, Dain, and Richard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two seemed surprised, but Richard wore a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Duke Richard, do you know what's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's voice was low, sensing a hint of danger, though he couldn't detect any other Legendary-level presences nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's an issue with the sea, it could be an invasion from the Sea Tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Richard mentioned the Sea Tribe, everyone's pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea Tribe was mysterious and terrifying to land-based races like them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the Sea Tribe invaded the continent, the number of creatures they brought with them was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it's the Sea Tribe or not, we'll find out soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain, the dwarven prophet, was impatient. His transcendent power surged as he flew into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion, Lireesa, and Richard exchanged a look. They no longer cared about the duel in the arena, instead channeling their transcendent powers and heading south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far to the south, deep within the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, it was as if the ocean floor had erupted, sending invisible waves rippling outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deep sea, the water suddenly caved in, creating a massive pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pit was quickly filled by the surrounding water, but the sea surged violently in the wake of the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, the waves, which had initially been only a meter high, began to rapidly rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the waves reached the shallow waters, they had surged to over a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tsunami had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the waters following the tsunami, countless shadows of fish-tailed, human-bodied creatures moved swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha… I smell dragon blood, children, follow me and let's invade the land to seize that dragon blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pure scent, that's dragon blood, blood that will let us evolve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seize the dragon blood, devour those half-dragons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","c5034086df897b78bf4514edf2059d0a7da4aac8c65273e095be4d1243fbdec0","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-395","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-393",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
