Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 325: King of the Voidcrawlers

Three days after the council ended, the sun sank below the horizon…and never came back up.

A biting wind arrived; the long night descended; and from the north, the roar of a dragon echoed for miles on end.

Orion transformed into lightning and shot up into the sky, staring off in that northern direction. Suddenly, a towering dragon—pure white, shimmering softly—raced overhead from north to south.

"Heading south, to invade. Join or die!"

Alongside the dragon’s roar came a faint, emotionless voice in Orion’s ears. Orion had no doubt the beast had noticed him—and was issuing an invitation for all to head south.

Orion merely nodded, an acknowledgment that he’d comply. At this point, he basically had to. The dragon was very obviously an ancient Legendary-level creature, and a mighty one at that.

Besides, heading south was already on Orion’s agenda for next year, and their interests didn’t conflict in the slightest.

Around the same time, Ironhoof in the Desolate Plains and Gareth in Thunderwood Forest both received that same "invitation" and, likewise, complied.

"So it really was an ancient Legendary-level white dragon in the far north," Orion mused, relieved he hadn’t gone running there out of curiosity before. He’d have been rushing straight to his own funeral.

Just as Orion was dwelling on the dragon, that mysterious power suddenly plucked him away again, transporting him back to the void passage.

"Heh heh heh…fresh meat from the Titanion Realm. Time to cower before the mighty army of darkness!"

That mocking cackle came from the other side of the void passage—a humanoid monster with multiple eyes and limbs sprouting from its ribs, throwing threats at Orion.

Orion gazed at the creature for a moment but didn’t move to stop it, letting it continue sending dark creatures his way.

"Giant, you’re just a weak lord—why aren’t you trying to stop me?"

The Legendary-level fighter on the other side of the passage—very sure of himself because he was upper Legendary—sounded intrigued by Orion’s indifference. Though even if he did cross the void passage himself, Orion would probably blast him out of existence.

"You summon them, loot whatever you want," Orion said mildly. "Meanwhile, I let you do it, and grab what I want out of it."

As he spoke, the other side unleashed six Alpha-level creatures and hordes of dark beasts, but Orion didn’t pay them any mind. The Stoneheart Horde could handle six Alpha-level enemies without an issue.

"Hmm, so you’re pretty confident in your territory, you Titanion sheep!" the lord on the far side of the passage scoffed, though a flicker of bad premonition crossed his face. Then again, remembering how resourceful and powerful his underlings were, he calmed down.

"We’re both Legendary-level, yet obviously at different grades," the monster continued, "but the void passage between us puts us on equal ground."

"You call all same-level lords ’sheep.’ So what does that make you—maybe a plumper sheep?" Orion’s grin hinted at scorn. He’d encountered the aggressive, slaughter-happy types from the Emerald Dream Realm before, and this guy made Orion nostalgically recall how "cute" Sophia had been compared to him.

"Tsk, so you can talk a good game, you sly big oaf of a giant," the monster sneered. "We’ll see how you weep when the passage closes and your people are gone."

Orion didn’t bother replying. With a swirl of supernatural power, lightning flared around his trident, enveloping the entrance to the void passage. One part of Orion’s mind stood guard there, the other half dove straight into the Champions Alliance chat.

Hulk: "Hey bros, that ancient Legendary-level white dragon. Any intel on how strong it might be?"

Orion’s query sat for a bit with no responses, until about fifteen minutes later…

Arthas: "You sure it’s a white dragon?"

Hulk: "Certain."

Arthas: "Any idea how long it is?"

Hulk’s brows furrowed. He didn’t really know any exact measurements, so he just described what he’d seen.

Hulk: "Dunno the length. All I can say is that from a distance it looked as huge as a glacier."

Arthas: "If you’re seriously thinking about fighting it, then you might want to consider surrendering. Based on your description, that’s probably a Legendary-level peak dragon."

The chat grew heavy, and Arthas went quiet.

Leonidas: "Hahah… Boney McBoneface, quit stressing out our buddy!"

Leonidas joined in, trying to ease Orion’s mind.

Hulk: "I’m not trying to fight it; just want to know what that level of power looks like."

Arthas: "Then don’t even think about it. A creature like that is on par with Leonidas and me."

Leonidas: "Hulk, Boney McBoneface isn’t lying. An ancient Legendary-level white dragon is probably well over ten thousand years old, and with dragons, the bigger the body, the greater their power.

Leonidas: "A being like that, with centuries of wisdom and experience, won’t be fooled by trivial tricks.

Leonidas: "If you come across it as an enemy, stay far away or else straight-up serve under it."

Hulk: "Got it. Appreciate the help, guys."

With that, Orion closed out the Survivor’s Platform again. The entity on the other side of the void passage was making more moves: a Voidcrawler conjured from transcendent power, slithering out like a huge centipede. It broke through Orion’s transcendent lightning net, freeing more dark creatures to pour in from the portal.

Orion snorted briefly. Another surge of lightning erupted, obliterating most of those monsters in a flash. As for two of the Alpha-level dark creatures, Orion deliberately spared them so his Horde underlings could take them out.

"All right, eight Alpha-level dark creatures total—looks about right," Orion muttered.

He waved his trident, conjuring large clusters of crackling electricity around the void passage. Then he cast an Eightfold Spear Barrage that fully covered the portal’s entrance. With that in place, any dark creature crossing over would be instantly wiped out.

"Hmph, so you do pack a punch," the voice observed from the other side. "So what’s your name?"

Orion’s show of strength prompted grudging respect from the other Legendary-level being. True power commands attention, no matter where you are.

"My name is Orion Stoneheart, King of the Giants. You?"

"I am Lucien, King of the Voidcrawlers!"

"All right then, Voidcrawler King Lucien," Orion said with a casual smile, "how about we make a deal? You grab what you want, and I grab what I want."

As he spoke, Orion eyed the King of the Voidcrawlers, already thinking of ways to handle Lucien in the not-so-distant future.
