Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 327 You get what you want, I get what I want

While Orion was still mulling over how to deal with Voidcrawler King Lucien, Deputy Commander Edward's message in the Champions Alliance channel had already stunned Leonidas, Alexander, and Arthas.

Necro Realm. Bone Throne.

Arthas rose from his Bone Throne, twin points of red light in his eye sockets suddenly blazing bright.

"Edward…he did it. He's reached demigod level!"

It wasn't a question so much as a statement of fact. In Arthas's mind, Edward's words to Orion had all but announced his new status to everyone.

"If Edward pulled it off, what about me? How much longer till I become a demigod…?"

Those questions unanswered, Arthas stood there in thought.

––––––

An unknown realm, at Giant Beast Mountain.

Roar!

In a shrunken form, Leonidas stood on a cliff edge, bellowing his frustration into the wind. His voice rumbled for miles, and every beast that heard it dropped to its belly in submission.

"It's not fair! That big-bearded Edward can make it to demigod? That's not fair!"

"What am I missing? What have I overlooked?"

"Roooar…"

Compared to Arthas, Leonidas's reaction was pure venting.

––––––

Another unknown realm, inside a palace adrift in the void.

"So Edward's stepped into the demigod realm now…? Then what about me?"

Seated in the center of this palace was Alexander—his hideout and headquarters. Unlike Leonidas and Arthas, Alexander didn't make a big scene. He merely mumbled to himself.

––––––

Blackstone City, where the battle raged on.

Rendall had rushed over from the inner city. The moment he arrived, he joined forces with Lilith, Earthshaker, Slagor, and the Abyssal dragon to continue besieging another Voidcrawler.

"Lilith, back off a bit—use illusions to help!" Rendall took point as the main attacker, and Slagor shifted to a support role.

Lilith agreed, pulling herself out of the melee. The moment she began reciting incantations, illusions unfurled around them.

On the other side of the fight, Onyx, Thundar, and Lysinthia—each with a mount or guardian beast—were still holding their own, though they struggled to pin down the flying Voidcrawlers in a short time.

Thunderhawk and the Four-Winged Blood Bat, on the other hand, proved a perfect counter. They scored the first kills.

A thunderclap erupted as Thunderhawk unleashed a lightning bolt, leaving one Voidcrawler disoriented. Swooping in a split second later, Thunderhawk clutched the creature's head in his talons. With a vicious snap of his hooked beak, he tore free its Alpha-level dark source crystal. The Voidcrawler shuddered and collapsed, finally dead.

Having finished off that foe, Thunderhawk soared back into the sky to help the Four-Winged Blood Bat.

Orion hadn't expected Thunderhawk Rayden to be the one who'd tip the scales this time.

––––––

At the void passage, Orion suddenly stood up, pulling out a throwing-style trident. He then activated Titan Form, boosting his stats across the board.

Crackle!

Lightning danced across the blood-red trident as Orion hurled it into the void passage. Of course, Lord Lucien immediately noticed. By the time the trident appeared before him, a good chunk of its power had been sapped by the passage itself.

"Crush!"

Lucien thrust out a hand, shattering Orion's thrown weapon with ease.

"Lord Orion, your attempts to go on the offensive are pathetic!"

Though he spoke dismissively, Lucien was shocked inside. He realized that, at full force, Orion's trident would've been devastating if not for the void passage weakening it.

"That giant actually has the strength to fight above his level. No wonder he's setting up a territory as a mere lower-tier Legendary lord. If some of the lower- or mid-tier Legendary lords aren't careful, he'll kill them. This one's dangerous."

Lucien's eyes darkened, not just because Orion was formidable but also because his legions of dark creatures were losing ground at Blackstone City.

On the battlefield, Thunderhawk and the Four-Winged Blood Bat finished off the two Voidcrawlers they had isolated, then split up to aid Onyx, Thundar, and Lysinthia.

Meanwhile, near the breach in the wall, Rendall, Earthshaker, Slagor, and the Abyssal dragon took down another Voidcrawler. Slagor, chanting a large-scale spell at the time, delivered the finishing blow.

But just then, one of the Voidcrawlers began emitting an inky black fog. A dark, phantom-like shape peeled away from its body—a Voidcrawler wreathed in darkness with glowing green eyes—heading straight for Slagor.

"That's a will projection! Fall back!"

Lilith happened to be closest, assisting with illusions. She shouted her warning too late.

Boom!

A streak of lightning flared at the center of Lilith's forehead, morphing into a trident that shattered the will projection in an instant.

"Curse you, Giant! I won't forget this!"

The will projection managed to spit this threat before dissolving. Orion's own will projection didn't even bother responding, transforming back into lightning and returning to Lilith's brow.

Slagor was left gasping for air, his heart nearly skipping a beat.

"That was a life-or-death moment… Long live Orion! Lord Orion is unbeatable!"

"Man, it's true—staying close to Orion's women is the safest place in the Horde..."

The moment Lucien's will projection vanished, the tide of battle turned firmly in the Stoneheart Horde's favor. The remaining Alpha-level dark creatures were just wounded beasts, bound to fall sooner or later.

At the void passage, Orion let a smile tug at his lips. He'd been watching the entire fight in Blackstone City while keeping an eye out for Lucien's will projection. Discover stories at novelbuddy

Orion lifted his gaze to King Lucien on the other side.

"Lord Lucien, looks like I came out on top in this round."

"How about reconsidering my proposal? You get what you want, I get what I want. Deal?"

Voidcrawler King Lucien was enraged, practically seething. This attempt at a dark incursion had cost him eleven Alpha-level subordinates. Even as a lord capable of building his own territory, such massive losses were not something he could brush aside.

Gnashing his teeth, Lucien glared hatefully at Orion.

"Giant, just you wait—if the day ever comes when a passage opens fully between our worlds, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Orion made no reply. Instead, he just broke into wild laughter. And Lucien, standing there with murder in his eyes, now looked like nothing but a clown.
