It wasn't that Orion was heartless, nor that he was selfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, faith was tied to Orion's advancement as an arch lord. Having witnessed the power of an arch lord firsthand, he was impatient to reach that level himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, no one had any idea how much faith would need to be sacrificed to restore Sylvana's eyesight. So, this matter would have to wait a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You assisted the Elder of Stewardship in managing logistics, and for that, you deserve a reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Orion took out two boxes and placed them in Sylvana's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One box contained an Alpha-level life essence, and the other held an Alpha-level dark source crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for anything below Alpha-level resources, Orion was certain Delilah would continuously provide Sylvana with whatever she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you reach the peak of hero level, these can help you break through to Alpha-level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As my woman, your strength mustn't lag behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flourish of the beast-skin cloak draped over his shoulders, Orion turned and strode out of Sylvana's bedchamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvana lifted her head. Though she could not see, she could easily imagine Orion's imposing and majestic figure as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, the council meeting officially began in the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion listened to Delilah's extensive briefing—everything that had happened, large and small, was recorded in detail since he had left Stoneheart City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He affirmed the achievements of Delilah and the others, immediately distributing a round of rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Orion dispatched a territory inspection group to tour the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Taran, Brontes, Steropes, Erythros, Thalion, and Torvald—six newly promoted elders—were assigned to Buffalofolk City, Obsidian City, Delilah City, and Lilith City respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would rotate in for Grulbane, Dace, Otho, Beyn, Torba, Thundar, and Ursa while also overseeing construction in the four cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was arranged, Delilah finally brought up some matters needing Orion's personal attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, the dwarven and dragon delegations have already arrived in Stoneheart City. When will you receive them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Orion looked in the direction of the Mysterious Tavern, sensing a powerful yet unfamiliar presence there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, that aura belonged to a Legendary-level being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which dwarf specifically came?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harbek Bronzebeard, the Arch Elder of the dwarven race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah felt a twinge of curiosity, not quite understanding how Orion knew the individual must be dwarven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Orion was familiar with all publicly recognized Legendary-level figures among the dragons and had memorized their auras. Since the formidable presence in Stoneheart City was unfamiliar, it had to be from the dwarven race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three days from now, I'll meet him formally in the arena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, we'll host a public challenge for everyone in Stoneheart City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring out those captured dark creatures. Anyone who manages to kill them can claim them as a prize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah nodded. She had the authority to access the resources needed to organize that kind of event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling a visit from the dwarven Arch Elder, Orion suddenly remembered something, and in a stern, commanding tone, he began:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effective immediately, all Wardens in the Horde will become members of the council.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At present, there are only two Wardens in the Stoneheart Horde—Lumi and Soraya—and both are now Legendary-level figures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henceforth, a Warden's status is second only to mine, and above that of the other council members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only those who reach Legendary level may serve as a Warden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's voice echoed through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was in utter shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had expected the Stoneheart Horde to suddenly produce two Legendary-level Wardens, and both of them were Orion's women. Delilah, in particular, froze in place the moment she heard the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, Delilah believed that, aside from Lilith, she was the most valued and powerful figure in the Stoneheart Horde. Yet none of that could compare to actual Legendary-level might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, eventually Orion coughed once, and people snapped back to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any more issues?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If not, go tend to your respective duties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw, Drakthul, and the others exchanged looks, then departed the main hall with their subordinates in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Delilah remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion cast his gaze on Delilah, noting the disappointment on her face, and silently sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had revealed Lumi and Soraya's ascension to Legendary level partly to spur his subordinates on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah especially—she spent most of her time governing in Orion's stead, holding power for too long. Frankly, Orion worried she would lose her ambition and stagnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Delilah and Lilith were God-touched individuals; they had the potential to reach Legendary level. Delilah's skill set was extremely comprehensive, and Orion relied on her heavily. He had no desire to see her fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just needed a push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumi and Soraya were that motivation for the two succubus sisters, prodding them to keep up with Orion's pace. Otherwise, what awaited them was neglect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to keep moving forward—for themselves, for their fellow succubi, and for the Stoneheart Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising a hand, Orion generated a pulling force from his palm, drawing Delilah into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embracing her, Orion reached out and squeezed her breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feeling the pressure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delilah still didn't speak, remaining in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stoneheart Horde suddenly had two Legendary-level beings, both Orion's lovers—an immense blow to Delilah, who always considered herself the queen among succubi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orion, is it all true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Delilah finally lifted her head and asked him in earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Orion's nod, the light in Delilah's rose-red eyes vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crushing force of superior strength, her sense of imbalance, and self-doubt all weighed heavily on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, advancing to Legendary level isn't as simple as talking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya had managed it with the bottomless resources from Arthas and Deputy Commander Edward backing her. Orion had once received three portions of Legendary-level life essence from Arthas. Though it was never stated outright, all of that had been prepared for Soraya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, her ascent took a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumi, on the other hand, truly relied on her own innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the negative example was the abyssal dragon Xalathar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had given the dragon Legendary-level resources early on, but it had yet to ascend even now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this showed that reaching Legendary level truly was no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-05-29T15:49:27.205Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","015b9b3e6b7a2e9130a176f59cc13199c08db1f511e78ef9b489dce284e57999","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-531","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-529",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
