Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 767: Can you do that?

"Mr. Alexander, this can’t go on. We urgently need a breakthrough."

Isabella stood to the side, also diligently trying to devise countermeasures.

"A breakthrough, you say? It will appear soon enough."

Alexander sat high upon his throne. Behind the throne was a chaotic void with a dimly discernible aura.

The chaotic void would occasionally emit a soft glow, suffusing the throne’s surroundings with a mysterious hue.

Against this backdrop of mystery, Alexander was like a reaper hidden in darkness.

Mysterious, eerie, inscrutable.

"Isabella, Lolth, move your remaining forces to the south."

"The south will be our breakthrough point."

Alexander was very decisive, his tone brooking no doubt.

Facing Alexander, Spider Queen Lolth dared not refute, nor even raise the slightest question.

Isabella, however, had a somewhat special relationship with Alexander and was more casual.

"Mr. Alexander, to the south is a group of Shadow Banshees. They can manipulate shadows and are adept at hiding and evasion."

"Moreover, there’s an Archlord among this group of banshees. Are we really going to make them our breakthrough point?"

Isabella’s concern was warranted. In their allied army, only Alexander’s shadow army posed the greatest threat to the Shadow Banshees.

Few of the troops brought by the Blind Spiders and Isabella could harm the Shadow Banshees.

Most importantly, they would gain another Archlord as an enemy.

"We are now besieged on all sides; this is no longer a trial, but a constraint."

"A trapped eagle can never learn to soar high."

"Do as I say. Soon, Ori—"

Before Alexander could finish his sentence, the void fluctuated with energy.

A fixed-point teleportation array appeared, and Orion’s imposing figure slowly materialized from the void.

Orion held the Deputy Commander in great reverence, not just because Edward possessed demigod-level strength, but even more so for his skill in creating Forbidden Spell scrolls and teleportation scrolls.

The Champions Alliance’s ability to conduct cross-realm invasions, perform fixed-point teleportation, and construct intra-realm teleportation arrays all stemmed from Deputy Commander Edward’s hand.

It could be said that Deputy Commander Edward was the connecting hub for the members of the Champions Alliance.

Only with the Deputy Commander could they all gather, unite, and launch external invasions.

"Bro, long time no see!"

"Also, Isabella, long time no see!"

Orion set aside his reverence for the Deputy Commander for the moment. He had just requested three fixed-point teleportation scrolls from Edward, who, with a wave of his hand, had generously given him ten and told Orion not to contact him again in the near future.

"Lolth, we meet again!"

Alexander and Isabella were fine; they knew Orion was planning to come over soon to contend for the Spring of Life.

Lolth, seeing this giant who had changed her fate once more, had mixed feelings.

"Respected Lord Giant, long time no see!"

Now that Lolth was one of their own, Orion’s attitude towards her was amiable; there was no telling if he might need to cooperate with her in the future.

After all, a Legendary-level broodmother was still very important to the Champions Alliance.

"Orion, since you’re here, help us break this deadlock first."

"The Spring of Life has appeared in the south. We are currently surrounded by enemies on all sides. I hope you can help us break through towards the southern coastal region."

"With the sea as our backing, only then can we possibly hold on."

Alexander was very direct, not beating around the bush, nor as boisterous as Leonidas.

Alexander laid bare their predicament and their next steps for Orion.

"Bro, I’m very willing to be of service!"

"Another purpose of my coming here this time is precisely to break this deadlock."

In fact, even if Orion hadn’t teleported over to seize the Spring of Life, the Deputy Commander would have sent an avatar.

Now that Orion had arrived, three beings possessing Archlord-level strength were enough for Alexander and his forces to establish a firm foothold on this continent.

"Excellent!"

With a wave of his hand, Alexander conjured a seat to his left—prepared for Orion.

Prior to this, Lolth and Isabella had received no such treatment.

They lacked the qualifications and the strength to sit as equals with Alexander.

Orion smiled and, without ceremony, sat down beside Alexander.

I’d like to see just how powerful you really are!

This was Isabella’s inner thought. When Alexander had mentored her on many occasions, the two examples he used most frequently were Orion and Kraken.

Orion, in particular—that name had astounded Isabella.

It was said that Orion possessed strength comparable to an Archlord. It wasn’t that Isabella didn’t believe it, but she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes and couldn’t imagine what kind of power that entailed.

She herself, at Legendary peak, could not kill an Archlord.

"Isabella, looking at me like that will make me get the wrong idea."

Orion teased Isabella; her gaze had lingered on him for a bit too long.

"You want me as your woman?"

"Not impossible. Defeat me while we are at the same level, the same rank, and I will acknowledge you."

Isabella came back to her senses, a flash of embarrassment on her face, but it quickly vanished.

Isabella was also magnanimous. Looking directly at Orion, she stated her condition.

Rather than a condition, it was more like a challenge. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Because the way Isabella looked at Orion was by no means one of romantic affection, but rather the gaze of a hunter spotting prey.

"You are not my match!"

Orion smiled, shook his head, very calmly.

There was no ridicule, no boasting, and certainly no mockery.

Orion seemed to be stating a fact, a fact that struck at Isabella’s morale.

"You are indeed not his match!"

If Orion had used his calm, indifferent attitude as a soft knife to cut at Isabella’s heart, then Alexander’s words were like sprinkling salt on her wound.

"Mr. Alexander..."

Isabella turned her head, looking at Alexander, her tone drawn out, as if pouting.

"You must face yourself, face your heart, face all the negative emotions within, accept them, utilize them, and make yourself grow quickly."

For a time, silence fell in Alexander’s palace.

Not only did Isabella lower her head without speaking, but even Orion bowed his head in thought.

"Face yourself, face your heart, face all the negative emotions within, accept them, utilize them..."

This was a concept Orion had never considered. Alexander’s words gave him a sense of enlightenment, yet he didn’t quite grasp what he had been enlightened to.

The reality was, while Alexander was guiding Isabella, he was simultaneously guiding Orion and Lolth.

Alexander, having come from an assassin background, had his own unique views and understanding of cultivating one’s state of mind.

If one’s state of mind improved, wisdom would arise, and one could better exert one’s personal talents and strengths.

"In the south, there is one Archlord. Adding the two we encountered before, this time we must face three Archlords."

"Orion, my request for you is to tie down one Archlord, hold out until I kill the enemy."

"Can you do that?"
