Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 452: Your might astonishes me

Wave after wave of ultrasonic pulses emanated from Orion's trident, making every cell in the parasitic creature's body tremble uncontrollably. It could no longer maintain control of its form.

Zzzt! Zzzt!

Along with the sonic onslaught came a terrifying current of electricity, scorching and paralyzing the creature's entire body.

Boom!

The tailed parasitic creature turned into a pile of rotted flesh, drifting through the air like dust.

Orion caught a mass of greenish-blue, sponge-like fluid hovering in midair and swiftly stored it in his spatial ring.

"Let's go. We're pulling back from the frontlines!"

Before the Axeheaded Mutant and Lich Vexis could react, Orion transformed into a bolt of lightning and withdrew from the battlefield.

Vexis responded swiftly as well. Stepping onto an ice shield like a magic carpet, she too departed the battleground.

Left behind was only the axeheaded mutant, still roaring and howling in the slime molds layer.

High in midair, seeing that Vexis had gotten out safely, Orion nodded approvingly at her performance.

Vexis was quick on her feet, with both offensive and defensive tactics at hand. She did, in fact, possess upper legendary-level strength.

"Lord Orion, your might astonishes me!"

He's too powerful! And it was so sudden!

No matter how hard she tried, Vexis couldn't imagine that while Orion was fighting the axeheaded mutant, he could also slaughter another legendary-level parasitic creature—one that was standing right in the slime molds layer.

"That was a fearsome upper legendary-level parasitic creature... and just like that, it's been slain?"

Even now, recalling everything that had happened, Vexis still found it unbelievable.

Vexis cast a side glance at Orion, forming a new impression of her master's friend.

"Ms. Vexis, there's no need to look at me like that. Compared to your master, I'm still a long way off!"

Vexis nodded, then shook her head, not daring to compare Arthas and Orion carelessly.

In truth, Orion was secretly delighted as well.

He was excited not only because he had seized a cluster of life essence, but also because he had found a method to counter the slime molds mutants.

That method was sonic attacks!

The technique Orion had just used to kill the parasitic creature was a skill known as [Instant Impact].

Besides taking the enemy by surprise, Instant Impact also unleashed a powerful sonic effect.

Those sonic waves vibrated the slime molds mutant, scattering its bodily components. In addition, the burning and paralyzing capabilities of Orion's lightning transcendent power compounded the damage.

That was precisely why the tailed parasitic creature had no chance to flee.

"Honorable Orion, Bone City lies in that direction. Would you like to go there?"

Vexis's demeanor shifted drastically. Her voice took on a respectful tone, no longer the cold, polite flattery from before.

From that moment on, Vexis truly considered herself Orion's supporting ally, taking on the role of his aide.

Orion nodded, a bright gleam flickering in his eyes.

He had just slain an upper legendary-level parasitic creature, but it hadn't dropped a survivor's treasure chest, leaving him slightly disappointed.

"Ms. Vexis, please lead the way!"

Vexis nodded and guided Orion toward Bone City.

Titanion Realm, Soaring Bird City.

Prince Theodore and Princess Ava had already departed from Soaring Bird City, yet they left a squad of guards behind to deter any ill-intentioned individuals who might threaten Torin.

Not long after Prince Theodore departed, a caravan from the kingdom poured into Soaring Bird City. They brought not only numerous slaves but also a huge supply of construction tools and building materials.

Inside a tent, Torin gazed at the city planning in progress and the excavation underway to build the foundations of Soaring Bird City's walls. A surge of fervor flooded his heart.

This was his territory—Torin's city.

Even before Soaring Bird City was fully built, ninety-nine percent of its profits had already been carved up by the kingdom's high nobles.

Nevertheless, Torin had retained the position of City Lord and the right to manage Soaring Bird City.

He had given up his share of the profits and set aside his dignity, but now at last, Torin saw a glimmer of hope belonging to him alone.

"Master, a group of giant slaves has arrived from inside the kingdom. Word is His Highness the Prince made some sort of deal with the Giant King."

"They'll be heading to the giants' territory in three days. Should we follow them?"

The speaker was Wyatt, commander of the slave-hunting party. He was exceptionally sharp when it came to gleaning slave-related information.

"So, heading to the giants' territory?"

To be honest, Torin was quite tempted.

He truly wanted to go to the giants' domain, seek an audience with the Giant King, and barter for Galahad's armor and sword.

Torin hesitated, but in the end, he abandoned that plan.

It wasn't that he didn't want Galahad's relics, but he simply had no bargaining chips to offer.

Naturally, Torin was unaware that Galahad's relics had already been traded away by Prince Theodore and returned to Princess Ava.

Meanwhile, in the human kingdom, on the road to the Royal Capital.

Prince Theodore and Princess Ava rode side by side on their beast-blood mounts.

"Aunt, someone like Torin is a savage wolf you can never truly domesticate."

"You must keep him under constant watch. Don't grant him freedom, and don't let him use your name for his own ends."

"Soaring Bird City, as a commercial route to the ogres, giants, and Blood Elves, will surely attract plenty of influential interest groups."

"All we need to do is remain in the shadows and collect our profits. We must not let those filthy dealings in broad daylight sully our purity and light."

Prince Theodore was cautioning his aunt, giving Princess Ava a clearer sense of the upheaval and change that would soon unfold in Soaring Bird City, where Torin was stationed.

Since the territory of the human kingdom had shrunk significantly, reopening just a handful of trade routes to neighboring realms involved the interests of countless nobles.

The reason Prince Theodore demanded sixty percent of the profits was not for himself alone—he represented the royal family and the two Grand Dukes closest to the throne.

"I understand."

"Torin is just a pawn—merely a guard dog for our assets!"

"I'll only assign him tasks; I won't give him any promises."

Prince Theodore nodded. He realized that for some reason, his aunt had suddenly become both resilient and wise.

In Princess Ava, Prince Theodore could no longer see a trace of a pampered princess or naive romanticism.

"Theodore, my Rose Knight Regiment and I will always stand by your side."

"If anything happens, don't forget to let me know!"

Prince Theodore smiled.

With Princess Ava's support, he was now one step closer to the throne.

He was fully aware that Princess Ava had more behind her than just the Rose Knight Regiment.

Otherwise, the kingdom would never have invested so much effort in sending Prince Theodore this far to rescue her.

Hence, Prince Theodore believed that this long journey had been well worth it.
