Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

As soon as both sides stopped fighting, a dragon beast's roar echoed from the nearby dense forest.

Lord Gareth appeared, making her entrance at the most opportune moment.

Massive trees were toppled, and the heavy footsteps of an Abyssal Dragon rumbled through the ground as Lord Gareth calmly emerged from the forest.

Behind her followed a large group of bloodline warriors from the Abyssal Chasm.

Orion could sense it clearly—among Lord Gareth's subordinates, there were two Alpha-level powerhouses.

In other words, there were three Alpha-level warriors from the Abyssal Chasm alone.

In addition to that, there was a Storm Vulture and an Abyssal Dragon.

This lineup was far more formidable than those from the Poison Dragon Swamp or the Desert Oasis.

Lord Gareth glanced around at the crowd, and when her eyes landed on Orion, Prophet Onyx, and Rendall behind him, they lit up slightly.

"Orion, you've done well!"

Orion waved his hand and bowed politely.

"How dare you! In the presence of our great lord, why do you not kneel and pay your respects?"

A sudden shout rang out, directed straight at Orion.

Orion squinted but said nothing.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Slagor, Arden, the High Priestess, Jarex, and Soraya all kneeling on one knee in reverence.

Even Prophet Onyx and Rendall behind him had, at some point, knelt down.

Orion looked at Lord Gareth, who seemed oblivious to the scene, her gaze fixed on the distant plains and forests.

Orion understood. This was a power play, an attempt to force him into submission.

Still, Orion remained silent. He simply took out his weapon, the Bloodthirsty Trident, and held it in his hand.

Standing tall, Orion smiled as he looked at the Alpha-level warrior who had just shouted at him.

It was a fiend serpent with snake-like eyes.

The fiend serpents hailed from the Abyssal Chasm and were a subordinate tribe of Lord Gareth.

In terms of bloodline, the fiend serpents carried a trace of draconic lineage.

Orion's lips curled into a smirk, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth as he sneered at the Alpha-level fiend serpent.

Lord Gareth hadn't said a word, yet her dog was already jumping out to bite.

Orion's response was simple: say nothing and prepare to beat the dog.

He raised his trident, pointing it at the fiend serpent, silently mocking him.

The fiend serpent, Ridi, was one of Lord Gareth's direct subordinates, a skilled assassin, and the most vicious dog in her pack.

Orion's trident pointed directly at Ridi, and Ridi felt like he was about to lose his mind.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In the past, whenever he shouted, Alpha-level warriors would immediately fall in line, obedient and submissive.

But today, not only did Orion refuse to comply, he even drew his weapon, wearing a defiant expression that seemed to say, "What are you gonna do about it?"

"You damn giant! I told you to kneel before Lord Gareth! Are you deaf?"

Ridi shouted again, trying to intimidate Orion further.

Yet Orion remained calm, his trident still aimed at Ridi.

"Chieftain, perhaps we should back down," Prophet Onyx whispered after a long pause, trying to advise Orion.

After all, with a Legendary-level powerhouse backing them, Prophet Onyx thought it unwise to provoke a direct confrontation.

Orion didn't respond, nor did he acknowledge Prophet Onyx.

His silence made Prophet Onyx immediately understand his intent, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

Rendall, on the other hand, tried to stand up several times, only to be held down firmly by Prophet Onyx.

Prophet Onyx knew very well that just because Orion dared to stand didn't mean Rendall or he could do the same.

The atmosphere was tense and silent.

But to Ridi, this silence was nothing short of an insult, a blatant challenge to his authority.

"You damn giant! You're asking for death!"

With that, Ridi drew his dagger and transformed into a shadow, rushing toward Orion with murderous intent.

As Ridi closed in, the killing intent in Orion's eyes grew stronger.

"Die!"

Orion's voice was low and hoarse, like the roar of a Titan god from the depths of the abyss.

At the same time, Orion activated his Titan's Rage and Swift Charge abilities, shooting forward like a flash of light.

Thud!

The trident was long, and so it was strong!

Ridi was impaled on Orion's trident, but Orion controlled his strength perfectly, stopping the weapon from piercing all the way through.

Orion lifted the trident high, grinning.

In the next moment, he slammed the trident into the ground, pinning Ridi to the earth.

With Ridi's eyes wide in shock and pain, Orion raised his right foot and stomped hard on his face.

"Who do you think you are?"

Orion's voice was cold and indifferent as he spoke.

And he didn't look down at Ridi when he said it—he was looking at Lord Gareth.

So, no one could tell if Orion's words were meant for Ridi or for Lord Gareth.

But regardless of who they were meant for, no one responded to Orion.

After a long silence, Orion finally looked down at the pitiful Ridi.

"Such a pathetic lapdog."

"Remember, next time the trident won't go through your right chest—it'll go through your left."

Orion pulled the trident out and kicked Ridi's body aside.

On the other side, Chieftain Slagor was utterly shocked by Orion's brazen display.

"This guy's insane! He actually dared to injure Lord Gareth's direct subordinate!"

"How could he… how dare he?"

"Where does he get the nerve?"

Slagor's mind was in turmoil, waves of disbelief crashing through him.

"He… he really dared… and he's so strong!"

"Ridi couldn't even last a single round against him!"

If Slagor thought Orion was crazy, Arden was downright terrified.

Arden knew full well that he had only dared to stir up trouble between Orion and the High Priestess because Lord Gareth had his back.

But now, Orion's actions were sending a clear message to everyone: he didn't care about Lord Gareth's authority.

Orion would kill whoever he wanted, whenever he wanted!

That was what truly terrified every Alpha-level warrior present.

As everyone's thoughts raced, Lord Gareth suddenly withdrew her gaze from the distant horizon and spoke seriously.

"How confident are you that you could kill me?"
