Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 377 Did you miss me?
Easily killing a lord gave Orion the illusion that he could extinguish everything with a wave of his hand. However, when he thought about friends like Arthas, Leonidas, and the Champions Alliance's demigods, he quickly suppressed that thought.
With visible examples ahead of him, Orion's emotions soon settled, and he calmed his mind, becoming more composed.
After sensing the situation in Thunderpeak Mountain, Orion found only two Alpha-level half-dragons. He didn't strike them down, planning to leave them for the elders of the Stoneheart Horde to practice with.
"The Thunderwood Forest has been invaded. I wonder if there are any incursions in the northern ice plains," Orion murmured to himself before transforming into lightning and rushing toward Half-Moon Lake.
---
Half-Moon Lake, Serpent Island.
Since Twilight Viper had been stationed here, the island had been renamed Serpent Island. Not only did it host Twilight Viper, but also a large number of swamp serpents and geckos.
Hissss!
Twilight Viper struck with its tail, sending the attacking half-dragon flying, before coiling up and hissing at the two Alpha-level half-dragons before it.
Above Twilight Viper, Lysinthia stood, holding a one-handed sword, her expression cold. Lysinthia had transformed into her Gorgon form, her hair now countless black snakes. These snakes lifted their bodies and roared at the two invading half-dragons.
"Arch Elder, I didn't expect such a powerful serpentfolk to inhabit this forest. What should we do now?" One of the Alpha half-dragons asked Elder Lassi, another half-dragon.
"Hold her off until the rest of our kin finish fighting, then we'll wear her down together!" Elder Lassi's voice was grim and angry. He had just been struck by Twilight Viper's tail, leaving him wounded.
The half-dragons' bloodlines, though mixed, still carried some dragon heritage. Against the swamp serpents and geckos, they had a significant advantage due to their bloodline's suppression. However, due to the sheer number of swamp serpents and geckos, they were unable to finish the fight quickly.
Lysinthia glared at the two half-dragons invading the territory, her expression darkening.

Lysinthia had come to Half-Moon Lake with two goals in mind: one was to collect supplies for the horde, and the other was to visit Twilight Viper. Twilight Viper had been Lysinthia's guardian beast for years, and their bond had deepened over time.
"This is the territory of my master, the King of Giants! How dare you invade Half-Moon Lake? Who are you?" Lysinthia demanded sharply, hoping to gather information about these half-dragons she had never encountered before. There were no known half-dragon tribes in the area, and Lysinthia was curious about them.
"Heh… Beautiful serpentfolk, once we kill that big snake of yours, we'll fuck you well."
"Ha ha ha… How about we share the spoils?"
The crude words enraged Gorgon Lysinthia.
In an instant, all the black snakes on her head detached and fell to the ground, transforming into giant snakes that rivaled Twilight Viper in size. In just moments, the area was surrounded by massive snakes, and Elder Lassi and the other Alpha-level half-dragon were trapped.
The battle began!
At the same time, snow began to fall inexplicably from the sky.
Lysinthia looked up, her face solemn as she sensed the presence of enemies. But just then, a familiar hawk's cry rang through the air, and Lysinthia's expression immediately softened.
It was Thunderhawk Rayden.
Rayden's arrival meant that Orion might be nearby.
Hissss!
Within the serpent swarm, the two half-dragons were soon gravely injured, their lives hanging by a thread.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by, and one of the half-dragons was torn apart by Thunderhawk Rayden, dying instantly.
As for Elder Lassi, he had been overwhelmed by the snakes and was now lost in their midst.
Whoosh!
Lysinthia raised her sword, pointing toward Lumi, who had appeared nearby.
Lumi shook her head, signaling that she meant no harm.
At the same time, Lumi began to make hand seals, summoning countless snowlings that leapt from the snow and joined the battle.
Lysinthia was surprised, as the snowlings Lumi had summoned only attacked the half-dragons.
Boom!
Suddenly, trapped within the serpent swarm, Elder Lassi detonated a secret technique, self-destructing. The black snakes were torn apart, and those that remained transformed into wisps of black smoke, returning to Lysinthia's hair.
With the deaths of the two Alpha-level half-dragons, the small invasion was over.
The shadow appeared again, as Thunderhawk Rayden swooped down and landed beside Lysinthia and Lumi.
Rayden cried out a few times before locking eyes with Twilight Viper.
Twilight Viper trembled under Rayden's gaze, its body shaking. Fortunately, Lysinthia reached out to calm it, preventing it from fleeing.
"Where's the master?" Lysinthia asked, hopping off Twilight Viper and walking toward Thunderhawk Rayden. She gently stroked the bird's lowered head and adjusted the feathers around its eyes.
"How about it? Did you miss me?"
Before she could finish, a rumble of thunder sounded from the distance. Three seconds later, lightning flashed, and Orion landed beside Lysinthia.
"Dear Master!" Lysinthia said, her voice soft and shy.
"Hahaha… Let's go back to Blackstone City together!" Orion said, not bothering to address the battle on Serpent Island. Without any Alpha-level half-dragons, they were all simply food for Twilight Viper.
Thunderhawk Rayden soared into the sky, and Orion, holding Lysinthia with one hand and Lumi with the other, ascended with them into the air.
"This is Lumi, you know her. She's joined our horde, joined our family," Orion said.
Lysinthia nodded but said nothing.
Among Orion's women, Lysinthia was only close to Lilith. Although Lumi was a bit special, Lysinthia had no desire to get closer to her.
"How's our horde?" Orion asked as he kissed Lysinthia and held her, inquiring about Blackstone City's affairs.
"Everything's fine. Mistress is busy every day managing the horde and taking care of important matters," Lysinthia replied.
"Mistress has also been helping the crows, hatching many chicks, and the icefield snow wolves have had a new batch of pups as well."
"..."
"And Mistress misses you too!"

Orion said nothing, quietly listening as Lysinthia recounted everything that had happened in the horde since his departure—everything about Lilith, the arch elder, the cavalry regiment, and the younglings.
