It could no longer maintain control of its form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzt! Zzzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the sonic onslaught came a terrifying current of electricity, scorching and paralyzing the creature's entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tailed parasitic creature turned into a pile of rotted flesh, drifting through the air like dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion caught a mass of greenish-blue, sponge-like fluid hovering in midair and swiftly stored it in his spatial ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go. We're pulling back from the frontlines!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Axeheaded Mutant and Lich Vexis could react, Orion transformed into a bolt of lightning and withdrew from the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis responded swiftly as well. Stepping onto an ice shield like a magic carpet, she too departed the battleground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left behind was only the axeheaded mutant, still roaring and howling in the slime molds layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in midair, seeing that Vexis had gotten out safely, Orion nodded approvingly at her performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis was quick on her feet, with both offensive and defensive tactics at hand. She did, in fact, possess upper legendary-level strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Orion, your might astonishes me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's too powerful! And it was so sudden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard she tried, Vexis couldn't imagine that while Orion was fighting the axeheaded mutant, he could also slaughter another legendary-level parasitic creature—one that was standing right in the slime molds layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was a fearsome upper legendary-level parasitic creature... and just like that, it's been slain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, recalling everything that had happened, Vexis still found it unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis cast a side glance at Orion, forming a new impression of her master's friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Vexis, there's no need to look at me like that. Compared to your master, I'm still a long way off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis nodded, then shook her head, not daring to compare Arthas and Orion carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Orion was secretly delighted as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was excited not only because he had seized a cluster of life essence, but also because he had found a method to counter the slime molds mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That method was sonic attacks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique Orion had just used to kill the parasitic creature was a skill known as [Instant Impact].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides taking the enemy by surprise, Instant Impact also unleashed a powerful sonic effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those sonic waves vibrated the slime molds mutant, scattering its bodily components. In addition, the burning and paralyzing capabilities of Orion's lightning transcendent power compounded the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was precisely why the tailed parasitic creature had no chance to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honorable Orion, Bone City lies in that direction. Would you like to go there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis's demeanor shifted drastically. Her voice took on a respectful tone, no longer the cold, polite flattery from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that moment on, Vexis truly considered herself Orion's supporting ally, taking on the role of his aide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded, a bright gleam flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just slain an upper legendary-level parasitic creature, but it hadn't dropped a survivor's treasure chest, leaving him slightly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Vexis, please lead the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis nodded and guided Orion toward Bone City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Titanion Realm, Soaring Bird City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore and Princess Ava had already departed from Soaring Bird City, yet they left a squad of guards behind to deter any ill-intentioned individuals who might threaten Torin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Prince Theodore departed, a caravan from the kingdom poured into Soaring Bird City. They brought not only numerous slaves but also a huge supply of construction tools and building materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a tent, Torin gazed at the city planning in progress and the excavation underway to build the foundations of Soaring Bird City's walls. A surge of fervor flooded his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his territory—Torin's city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before Soaring Bird City was fully built, ninety-nine percent of its profits had already been carved up by the kingdom's high nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Torin had retained the position of City Lord and the right to manage Soaring Bird City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given up his share of the profits and set aside his dignity, but now at last, Torin saw a glimmer of hope belonging to him alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, a group of giant slaves has arrived from inside the kingdom. Word is His Highness the Prince made some sort of deal with the Giant King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They'll be heading to the giants' territory in three days. Should we follow them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Wyatt, commander of the slave-hunting party. He was exceptionally sharp when it came to gleaning slave-related information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, heading to the giants' territory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Torin was quite tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly wanted to go to the giants' domain, seek an audience with the Giant King, and barter for Galahad's armor and sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torin hesitated, but in the end, he abandoned that plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he didn't want Galahad's relics, but he simply had no bargaining chips to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Torin was unaware that Galahad's relics had already been traded away by Prince Theodore and returned to Princess Ava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the human kingdom, on the road to the Royal Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore and Princess Ava rode side by side on their beast-blood mounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, someone like Torin is a savage wolf you can never truly domesticate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must keep him under constant watch. Don't grant him freedom, and don't let him use your name for his own ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soaring Bird City, as a commercial route to the ogres, giants, and Blood Elves, will surely attract plenty of influential interest groups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All we need to do is remain in the shadows and collect our profits. We must not let those filthy dealings in broad daylight sully our purity and light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore was cautioning his aunt, giving Princess Ava a clearer sense of the upheaval and change that would soon unfold in Soaring Bird City, where Torin was stationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the territory of the human kingdom had shrunk significantly, reopening just a handful of trade routes to neighboring realms involved the interests of countless nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Prince Theodore demanded sixty percent of the profits was not for himself alone—he represented the royal family and the two Grand Dukes closest to the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Torin is just a pawn—merely a guard dog for our assets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll only assign him tasks; I won't give him any promises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore nodded. He realized that for some reason, his aunt had suddenly become both resilient and wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Princess Ava, Prince Theodore could no longer see a trace of a pampered princess or naive romanticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theodore, my Rose Knight Regiment and I will always stand by your side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anything happens, don't forget to let me know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Theodore smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Princess Ava's support, he was now one step closer to the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fully aware that Princess Ava had more behind her than just the Rose Knight Regiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the kingdom would never have invested so much effort in sending Prince Theodore this far to rescue her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Prince Theodore believed that this long journey had been well worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1177,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","dada8cde6cd0ce7c023b4e7f9bc738f529ac0d74f93b06691d2159ed7e60a694","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-453","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-451",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
