I shall burn away all sin and extinguish the hopes of these dark creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This shall be the place of your damnation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw, transformed into a Hellhound, thrust a paw into the body of the dark fiend beneath him and pulled out an Alpha-level dark source crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark fiend had already succumbed to the hellfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shriek moments ago had come from this dark fiend as Dirtclaw killed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a signal; beast roars began to echo one after another throughout Gloomwood Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro Fergus, how was my declaration just now? Did it have that touch of the sacred? That ‘revered by thousands’ vibe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw tilted his head, asking Fergus, the giant-blooded warrior beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fergus rode an abyssal dragon, his aura formidable, his entire being radiating a potent force of blood and vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This inability to fully retract his aura indicated that Fergus had achieved a new breakthrough in his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in the past two days, Fergus had broken through to Alpha-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Dirtclaw, your mighty strength is already revered by thousands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha… Bro Fergus, you sure know how to flatter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw stayed close to Fergus, who had just advanced to Alpha-level, partly to foster their bond and partly to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protecting Fergus was not a task given to Dirtclaw by Orion, but by Delilah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fergus was a genius of the Blackrock Giant clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more geniuses the Blackrock Giants produced, the more stable their clan’s position within the Stoneheart Horde became, which would indirectly further consolidate the succubus race’s status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also included the gnoll race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some advantages had to be built incrementally, through small deeds. When it came to matters concerning his own interests and the status of his gnoll race, Dirtclaw was very patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the recently born Pallas, Fergus and Tarn also held Orion’s attention; this was a widely acknowledged fact within the Stoneheart Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every distribution of supplies, the ever-efficient Lilith would personally review the allocations, specifically granting the giant clans extra preferential treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lilith’s view, such matters could not be treated carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awoooo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw let out a roar, his mood excellent, hellfire blazing around his body. He cut an incredibly valiant and dashing figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’ll be non-stop battles up ahead. This is our chance to rack up achievements and boost our strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro Fergus, stick with your friend Dirtclaw. Let’s get your abyssal dragon to Alpha-level ASAP.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dirtclaw’s words made Fergus’s heart burn with an intense fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpha-level—that would be the second abyssal dragon of that rank, after Orion’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an honor was something Fergus craved immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a path filled with glory, for it was a road Orion himself had walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My fighting spirit still burns! I cannot be blinded by pride! My road ahead is still long.” Fergus clenched his fist. “I can definitely do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abyssal dragon let out a deep growl, a sound like rolling thunder that penetrated Gloomwood Forest, as if echoing its master’s declaration to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awoooo, Bro Fergus, keep up! I’m about to take off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will guard your back, Elder Dirtclaw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invasion had begun, and with it, the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaughter was inevitable, as Orion and Leonidas needed to continually expand their forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, Leonidas flapped his leathery wings and called out to Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, get on my back! The wyvern you’re on is too slow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Legendary-level dark creature sensed us. The bugger’s trying to bolt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being only an avatar, Leonidas’s perception range was still much wider than Orion’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas could sense threats far sooner than Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, the gap between an Arch Lord and a Legendary-level entity was truly immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crackle of electricity, Orion didn’t stand on ceremony and instantly appeared on Leonidas’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha… Well? How’s this for a special experience?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My avatar might not compare to a colossal dragon, but it’s still a fire dragon of excellent lineage. Feels pretty damn good, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Orion didn’t feel much of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was that he was on Leonidas, someone he deeply respected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Orion’s heart, he didn’t dare to think of him as a mere mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even if he did feel something, only an idiot would say so at a time like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were to be mentioned, it should be when their friendship had deepened, brought up as an amusing anecdote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, is that Legendary-level dark fiend at peak Legendary?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t surprising Orion asked; the truth was, he hadn’t even sensed this dark fiend lord before it chose to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could the dark fiend lord’s perception be stronger than mine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Orion’s doubt, and he also began to question the dark fiend lord’s actual strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awooo… Peak Legendary? That fellow is far from it. Judging by its aura, it’s an upper-tier Legendary at best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The critter probably has some special way of sensing us and bolted because it knew it was outmatched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Orion squinted at the path ahead and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, choosing to escape was indeed the most sensible course of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When facing two opponents stronger than oneself, if one lacked the resolve for a fight to the death, abandoning one’s lair, fleeing with some of one’s kin, and finding allies to stage a comeback was the wisest move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, can we make it? Can we catch up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, don’t underestimate me. It won’t get away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leonidas finished speaking, his dragon mouth opened slightly, and a low draconic incantation emerged. The surrounding fire elements immediately flared with greater intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a pair of enormous flame wings erupted from the fire dragon’s ribs. With a single flap of these fiery wings, Leonidas’s speed surged, increasing by two whole tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, these are the Wings of Flame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ever seen ’em? My own draconic magic—pretty badass, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A howling gale rushed past Orion’s face, faintly carrying Leonidas’s proud and flamboyant laughter through the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-05-29T15:49:30.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","000bd0a72ba52a30d632aac50954377e2c876c1a82647e0ebb79a04abf491842","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-705","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-703",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
