Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

Inside the City.

Delilah tugged on the spider silk in her left hand, and the airborne Lumi was sliced into countless icy fragments by the tightening threads.

After dodging several ice spikes and seeing her hidden trap finally take effect, Delilah couldn't help but smile.

But in the next moment, her smile froze.

High above, in a spot even higher than before, Lumi—who had just been shredded into snow debris by the transparent spider silk—reformed her body and reappeared in Delilah's line of sight.

"What… is this thing unkillable?"

The miraculous abilities of elemental beings left Delilah deeply shaken.

"Such a sinister and cunning attack!"

"I didn't expect your spider silk to be hidden so well in the snow, completely undetectable to me!"

Lumi looked down at Delilah, her previously indifferent gaze now showing a faint ripple of emotion.

As an elemental being, Lumi naturally possessed unique abilities—like her ability to reform from snow, or Gustalon's ability to move as wind.

If not for these innate powers, Lumi would have already been killed by Delilah's trap.

"Elemental beings truly are God's favorites," Delilah remarked with a smile, her expression now calm and composed.

She knew her husband, Orion, was already on his way.

Her task was simple: stall Lumi.

"Beautiful Lady Lumi, shall we call it a truce?"

Lumi hesitated for a moment, her gaze briefly clouded with confusion.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, slamming into Lumi with devastating force. Explore more stories with empire

Her body instantly dissolved into a mass of snow and began to melt away.

Seeing this, Delilah's smile grew even wider.

When Lumi had been trapped and shredded by the spider silk, her mind had wavered.

Delilah seized the opportunity and used her Song of Bewilderment while speaking, subtly casting a spell to confuse Lumi.

Caught in the enchantment, Lumi was unable to react in time and was struck by the thunderhawk's lightning attack during its dive.

"Lumi!"

A cry of alarm echoed from nearby.

Whoosh!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Accompanying the shout was a massive wind blade, slicing through the air with terrifying speed.

Thunderhawk Rayden, following Orion's orders to continue striking the snow mass with lightning, was forced to veer off course to avoid the incoming wind blade.

Whoosh…

The wind blade roared past, narrowly missing the thunderhawk.

Taking advantage of the distraction, the snow mass scattered and disappeared into the swirling blizzard.

Beside Gustalon, the snowflakes began to coalesce once more, and Lumi's form reappeared.

This time, however, her figure was hazy and indistinct, shrouded in a misty blur.

"Good thing I got here in time. Are you alright?"

Gustalon let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the faintly visible Lumi.

For elemental beings like them, as long as they didn't suffer a true death, their dissipated bodies could quickly regenerate using the dense elemental energy around them.

"You failed to keep him occupied," Lumi said, her voice still cold, though a faint trace of unease could be detected if one listened closely.

Gustalon gave an awkward smile. Failing to hold off Orion and allowing Lumi to get injured left him feeling embarrassed.

"My body is incomplete, and my elemental control is unstable. Let's retreat," Lumi said, her tone decisive.

Without waiting for a response, her form dissolved into a swirl of snow, merging seamlessly with the blizzard.

Gustalon sighed, glanced at the thunderhawk rapidly approaching from the distance, and transformed into a gust of wind, vanishing from sight.

Orion frowned, his unease growing as he failed to locate Lumi and Gustalon.

Although the thunderhawk's lightning had severely injured Lumi, Orion wouldn't feel at ease until he was certain the two elemental beings had truly left the battlefield.

Riding atop the thunderhawk, Orion circled above Blackstone City, scanning the area. Only when he saw the snowstorm begin to subside and shift northward did he finally relax.

As long as beings like Lumi and Gustalon remained on the battlefield, Orion couldn't focus on the main fight.

---

Within Blackstone City, the snowlings that had been crawling out of the snow suddenly crumbled into piles of icy debris and vanished without explanation. The eerie disappearance left everyone puzzled.

After waiting for a while and seeing no more snowlings emerge, the bloodline warriors of the Stoneheart Horde erupted into cheers of victory.

With the snowlings gone, more bloodline warriors rushed to the city walls to reinforce the defenses.

---

Outside the City.

The overwhelming assault of icefield snow wolves and frost giants faced a fierce counterattack, and the pressure on the defenders began to ease.

Roar!

In the distance, the abyssal dragon's bloodshot eyes glowed with icy fury, its killing intent palpable.

Crunch!

A hero-level icefield snow wolf was caught in the abyssal dragon's jaws. With a powerful bite, the dragon tore the wolf in half, its blood spraying across the battlefield.

This was a direct provocation—a challenge from the abyssal dragon to the Wolf King.

The Wolf King, however, remained calm, staying hidden within the wolf pack and refusing to engage directly.

The Wolf King's strategy was simple: use the swarm of wolves to wear down the abyssal dragon and Thundar.

But Orion's arrival shattered the Wolf King's carefully constructed plan.

A piercing eagle cry echoed across the battlefield as Orion, like an Ancient Titan, gazed down at the Wolf King from high above.

Whoosh!

A trident tore through the air, descending with immense power.

Boom!

The trident struck the ground, leaving a crater and a pool of blood.

It was the Wolf King's blood—the attack had severed its tail.

"Quick reflexes," Orion muttered, pulling out another trident and preparing for another ranged assault.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several more tridents rained down, but the Wolf King managed to dodge each one.

"Lilith, it's your turn!"

A strange incantation filled the air as Lilith cast Mind Confusion, an illusion spell.

Thud!

A trident pierced through the Wolf King's side, pinning it to the ground.

This was the perfect opportunity!

"Thundar!"

Hearing Orion's call, Thundar leapt from the abyssal dragon's back, sprinting across the wolf pack toward the injured Wolf King.

As he ran, Thundar pulled a taming collar from his pouch.

Orion had distributed three taming collars to Rendall, Delilah, and Thundar.

Thundar didn't hold back, his twin swords cutting down the fearless icefield snow wolves that lunged at him.

He quickly reached the heavily injured Wolf King and threw the taming collar toward it.

But just as the collar was about to latch onto the Wolf King, it was repelled and flung back.

"This… this is contract backlash?"

Thundar caught the collar, stunned and momentarily at a loss for what to do.
