The rich aroma surprised her somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delicious, I like it very much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya nodded and smiled. She didn't have many friends in the Valkorath Realm; she was quite happy to have met Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not in a hurry to go back this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya could see Isabella was in a good mood, so she casually asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are other matters in a while; I need to rest and reorganize for some days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella came to sit opposite Soraya, took another sip of tea, and, smelling the fragrance filling the garden, felt as if she had returned to her own manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald Dream Realm, Night Stalkers' city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had continued for half a month straight. The number of Night Stalkers was dwindling, and the major battle was already nearing its end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a small number of hidden monsters would still occasionally pop out to hunt, triggering small-scale skirmishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a small dark corner of the city, a burst of fighting sounds was heard, then quickly died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These stupid dark creatures! If they can live, why do they still run out to seek death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one shouting loudly was Ragscrape the Gnoll. He was currently raising his executioner's blade high, chopping off a Night Stalker's head and then splitting it in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, Ragscrape the Gnoll was engaged in a cruel slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maldrak the giant stood not far away, silently watching the surroundings, acting as a guard for Ragscrape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maldrak knew Ragscrape was in a bad mood and needed to vent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, Ragscrape the Gnoll had failed in his attempt to break through to Alpha-level again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dealt another blow to Ragscrape the Gnoll. Although failure hadn't crushed Ragscrape's belief and will, anyone in this situation would be in a foul mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a warrior, and a frontline one at that, cruelly slaughtering enemies was the best way to vent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the cruel scene just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All dark creatures deserve to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will eat your flesh, drink your blood, and devour your dark source crystals!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will definitely succeed in advancing to Alpha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragscrape the Gnoll hacked at the dark creature's corpse cut after cut, as if mincing meat, tireless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown amount of time, Ragscrape finally came to Maldrak's side with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maldrak, I'm done here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I'll guard you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck! Don't be like me; you must succeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your belief must be firm, be full of confidence, you absolutely must succeed! Only when you become Alpha level will I have bragging rights and gain more face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ragscrape at this moment was completely different from the Ragscrape who had been cruelly slaughtering earlier; one was brutal, the other amiable—it was like two different people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I fail too, help me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you talking, Maldrak? Look into my eyes, you can definitely do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragscrape the Gnoll jumped up, grabbed Maldrak's bone armor, and looked up to meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe me, and believe in yourself too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the horde doesn't lack Alpha-level resources, they can't just be exchanged for casually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let this opportunity slip away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maldrak the giant nodded, turned, and walked into a nearby cave structure to attempt his breakthrough to Alpha-level on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the faint sounds of fighting could be heard; this was not a peaceful night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the city wall, the Brontes and Steropes brothers were on rotation tonight, but Knight Godfrey and Grum Ironfist the dwarf had also come, accompanying the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excluding the 20% tax submitted to the horde, this portion belongs to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brontes handed a leather pouch to Knight Godfrey. In the siege battles of the past few days, Knight Godfrey and the brothers had joined forces to slay two Alpha-level creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the leather pouch was an Alpha-level dark source crystal, as well as a considerable number of hero-level dark source crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the battle neared its end, the division of spoils had been distributed over these two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey accepted the leather pouch without declining; it was what he deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, in this invasion war, everyone had suffered some injuries, more or less, and urgently needed dark source crystals to improve their strength and recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why the dark source crystals were distributed early, even before Delilah returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special matters required special handling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why thank me? These are all your spoils of war, earned through your valor and fearlessness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anyone should be saying thanks, it's me thanking you; you saved my life back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brontes spoke sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That knightly code of yours is out of fashion; it'll be obsolete sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Grum Ironfist the dwarf, drinking off to the side. Through the invasion war, he too had forged a friendship with Knight Godfrey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Grum Ironfist said this, his tone and eyes were full of goodwill towards Godfrey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity that old drunkard Taran went on patrol, otherwise I could have had a good drink with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it came to compatibility, Taran the Pandaren and Grum Ironfist the dwarf were the most suited to each other's taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two drunkards, they could chat about anything together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Night Stalkers are still hidden underground and in some secret caves. If no one patrols at night, everyone will sleep uneasily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey took the wineskin the dwarf handed him, took a large gulp, and gazed at the city dotted with bonfires, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still worried about that group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Grum Ironfist the dwarf's tone was disdainful and very impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As fellow humans, in another world, I can't help but worry about them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Godfrey's voice was slightly low, a little helpless, and also a little guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those humans who left the main force, although they hadn't informed him beforehand, hadn't caused him any trouble either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not telling Godfrey when they left was also a form of disguised protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that's what Godfrey thought.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","becf0f7e8059d9633d959b5c6105a18a641dfa57b987874635ca115add5c9a05","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-851","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-649",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
