These are merely some of the tactics Delilah orchestrated for the bigger picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Delilah truly depended on were her own abilities, her mount—the Four-Winged Blood Bat—and the will force Orion had hidden within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, we've received word from the Sentinel Corps. Everything appears stable in the other three directions, with only a small influx of dark creatures attacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for that human knight named Godfrey, he's fighting bravely and has shown no suspicious behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, our logistical supplies are being transported as expected…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere along the city wall, Godfrey thrust his lance into a dark creature about to climb up, neutralizing the crisis in that section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human, your fierceness far outweighs that small frame of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll admit—you're a real man!\" A giant gave Godfrey a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey nodded slightly without replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the start of the battle until now, Godfrey had been restraining the aura around him, so everyone assumed he was merely a hero-level human knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, fighting alongside Godfrey, was a hero-level giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By participating in the defense of Stoneheart City, Godfrey came to understand that these Stoneheart Horde bloodline warriors were entirely different from the soldiers of the human kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Stoneheart City, every bloodline warrior fought with extreme courage, treating every battle as if they had nothing to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, apart from Orion—whom everyone revered like a god—Godfrey often heard other names in the bloodline warriors' conversations, such as Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Dirtclaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, whenever they mentioned Dirtclaw, their eyes lit up with excitement and a sense of anticipation for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though their gaze said to Godfrey: \"Just watch. One day, I'll become a powerful warrior myself—maybe even an elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not half bad either. One of the bravest people I've met!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Godfrey blurted out these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha… Human, that's the kind of thing I like to hear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we rotate out, I'll buy you a drink!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneheart City wasn't the only place erupting into war. Battles also raged in the area where Orion now stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days earlier—Soraya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soraya City's walls rose bit by bit, a large fortress took shape at the heart of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Orion entered the fortress and placed a Lord's Stone in the restricted chamber, the domed castle became the core of the entire Soraya City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, this place will be called the Dusk Castle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerging from the restricted chamber, Orion came to the castle hall, standing by a window and pulling Soraya—who was gazing into the distance—into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dusk? What does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just had a whim. The name seems fitting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, when Orion envisioned the name, an image of a 'desert sunset' hovered in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about a building just for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya leaned against Orion, her tone full of eager anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll need a bit more time for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once this war ends and Soraya City moves into the next planning phase, I'll find the perfect place and design a beautiful sand tower for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion paused, then added, \"Tomorrow, I'll head to the front lines. Soraya City will be under your watch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later—Moonveil Plains, the front-line battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeleton warriors led the charge, small scorpions advanced behind them, and Dirtclaw and Drakthul commanded the cannon fodder troops. They split into small squads, joining the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High above the battlefield, Orion hovered in midair, clad in ice armor and wielding a trident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surveying the field when, without warning, two peak-level legendary slime molds monsters burst out from a layer of slime molds and lunged at Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion took a direct hit from this sudden ambush. The ice armor he wore shattered into icy shards and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his reflexes were swift. A flash of lightning sparked around him, and he darted back a short distance to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two slime molds monsters shifted back into dark shadows, attacking from Orion's left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion let out a furious shout. Two tridents formed from transcendent power streaked toward the shadows to strike them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, after two swift swipes in the darkness, the tridents were shredded as though ice meeting blazing sun, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, that brief delay gave Orion the time he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He triggered Instant Impact, and in the blink of an eye, his figure vanished from his original spot. A sharp sonic boom erupted in the surrounding space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like a house collapsing. Orion materialized behind one of the dark shapes, thrust out his trident, and a thunderous explosion echoed across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite such a sudden and fierce attack, Orion missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes gleaming with battle fervor, Orion locked onto the monsters before him—large, bear-like beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, these bear monsters stood upright like humans, with terrifyingly long claws on their limbs. Each claw was nearly as long as the creature was tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, the bear monster had used its fearsome claws to block Orion's attack head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh… Orion… please help me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, from further back on the battlefield came the pained howl of lich Vexis, causing Orion's heart to lurch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Orion burst into lightning once more, racing toward Vexis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bear monster before him lashed out with blood-red light swirling over its body, its twin claws creating a makeshift cage of talons that trapped Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion glanced over, his anxiety boiling into anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm following the broodmother's command. Today, I will kill you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An emotionless voice emanated from the bear monster's mouth. As soon as it finished speaking, it charged Orion head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion raised his trident and met the monster's assault, activating his Eightfold Spear Barrage to parry the raining claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that to rescue Vexis, he first had to deal with the bear monster in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill me? Hahaha, you think you can?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brimming with murderous intent, Orion shifted into Titan form and launched Instant Impact, significantly boosting his speed and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Power Surge—Furious Bear Strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the bear monster had already anticipated Orion's full-force attack; blood-red mist swirled around its body, concentrating its bloodline power into its right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this channeling, the bear monster's left-claw shriveled, while its right arm accelerated and surged with multiplied strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die, you wretched blasphemer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear monster's taunt was met with Orion's unrelenting onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High above the battlefield, a blinding white light flared. Friend or foe, skeleton warriors, small scorpions, and slime molds mutants alike dissolved into ash beneath its brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after the white light came an unparalleled shockwave blasting out in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","cb329a28086c2a93c9989d0750d3b4daefc211171e2a26820ba6e1961f83d2e4","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-483","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-481",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
