Chapter 470: A premeditated strike
A parasitic creature slowly emerged from the layer of slime molds, its green eyes—composed of countless tiny compound eyes—fixed intently on Orion.
Orion’s entire body tensed. He wasn’t sure who this parasitic creature was targeting, and his mind wavered, hesitating to act immediately.
Raising his trident, Orion pointed it directly at the creature, ready to unleash [Instant Impact] at any moment.
Just then, the slime mold parasitic creature’s body began to shift—its blades clicked together, forming a massive spinning blade that hurtled toward the bloodline warriors of the Stoneheart Horde.
At that moment, Orion had no choice but to intervene.
Boom!
Orion charged forward, swinging his trident and sending the giant blade flying off course.
But in that instant, something unexpected happened.
Whoosh!
Countless blood-red vines suddenly sprouted from the slime mold layer, blooming like a flower and ensnaring Orion in their grasp.
In the next moment, the flower snapped shut, shrinking into a tight bud that imprisoned Orion and swiftly retracted back into the slime mold layer.
“Damn it, the enemy’s sent a Vine Splitter!”
The exclamation came from Lich Vexis, whose figure soared into the air, arriving at the frontline of the battlefield.
But Vexis didn’t dare advance further. She knew full well that Vine Splitters were peak Legendary-level threats.
If she rushed in recklessly to save Orion, the Vine Splitter might shift its focus and prioritize her instead.
In that case, not only would she fail to rescue him, but she’d also get herself killed—a loss far outweighing any gain.
Moreover, Vexis had the critical task of overseeing the battlefield. She couldn’t afford to let the slime mold layer exploit a gap in their defenses and breach their rear lines.
“To ambush Orion, the slime mold broodmother actually deployed Vine Splitters,” Vexis muttered to herself.
As she furrowed her brow, weighing her options, two more Legendary-level auras emerged from the slime mold layer.
“How is this possible?”
“One peak Legendary and three upper-tier Legendary powerhouses!”
Vexis had never witnessed such an assassination lineup before.
“This is a premeditated strike—they want Orion dead!”
In an instant, Vexis reached her conclusion.
Without hesitation, she retreated to the rear.
Closing her eyes, Vexis used a secret technique to relay the situation to Arthas.
“I understand. Hold the line and don’t let the slime mold layer break through,” came Arthas’s response.
“As for Orion, trust him. He’s far stronger than you realize.”
At the heart of the battlefield, in Bone City, Arthas slowly opened his eyes, gazing toward the distant slime mold layer.
“What a bold move!”

“To trap and kill Hulk, they’ve brought a Vine Splitter and three Legendary-level parasitic creatures.”
“It seems you’ve sensed the threat Hulk poses—and you think he’s dangerous!”
“But Hulk is far more powerful than you’ve anticipated.”
“Heh heh heh… an opportunity has finally presented itself!”
From the Survivor’s Platform, Arthas quietly sent a message to Alexander.
“The chance is here. Come over.”
Moments later, Alexander replied:
“To avoid detection, I won’t use the teleportation array. I’ll head there myself.”
…
On the walls of Bone City, Arthas stood with his sword in hand, his aura steadily building.
North of Cryptopolis, at the frontline of the battlefield, Orion was dragged into the slime mold layer. By the time he realized he’d been lured into a trap, it was too late.
Three massive vines erupted from the ground beneath the slime mold layer, coiling like giant pythons intent on strangling him.
At the same time, three upper-tier Legendary-level parasitic creatures burst out of the slime mold layer, attacking Orion from different angles.
WAAAGH!
Faced with such an onslaught, Orion no longer held back. With a furious roar, he activated Titan Form, transforming into a towering titan.
In an instant, Eightfold Spear Barrage materialized around him—a dense array of spears, shooting out in every direction like a porcupine’s quills, leaving no blind spots.
Simultaneously, Orion triggered Instant Impact and activated Berserk Aura, pushing himself into a frenzied state.
“You think you can trap and kill me? Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!”
Orion’s voice carried a mix of madness and the unshakable confidence rooted in his bloodline.
He appeared behind one of the parasitic creatures, thrusting his trident toward its neck while his left fist smashed toward its head.
Bang!
Yet, this seemingly lethal strike was dodged.
The impact sent a shockwave rippling outward, knocking the parasitic creature back into the slime mold layer.
Orion saw it clearly: just as the creature was about to be struck down, a thin green shield flickered over its body.
His fist had shattered the shield, but the creature itself survived.
“These bastards came prepared!”
Indeed, the last parasitic creature that had faced Orion and survived had shared its intel.
This time, the assault was led by a Vine Splitter.
Not only could Vine Splitters spawn countless vines to attack and ensnare their enemies, but they could also draw energy from the slime mold layer to grant their allies a protective barrier.
This was what made Vine Splitters so terrifying—and why so many Legendary-level fighters in the Valkorath Realm had fallen to their precise ambushes.
In the early stages of the war, most of Leonidas, Arthas, Alexander, and Edward’s Legendary-level subordinates had been killed this way, their bodies overtaken by the slime molds and turned into enemies.
“Giant, you’re strong. I see the shadow of a Titan in you. I’ll give you a chance—surrender, and the great Brood Mother will grant you eternal life!”
An aged female voice echoed through the confined space, attempting to sway Orion.
But surrender was out of the question.
When his first strike failed, Orion commanded the Eightfold Spear Barrage to tear through the encroaching slime mold layer, carving out space to fight.
“Hahaha… surrender? Never!”
Crackle!
Orion transformed into a bolt of lightning, launching Instant Impact once more and charging at another parasitic creature.
A deafening explosion followed as the targeted creature was sent flying.
But at that moment, Orion sensed a powerful presence descending upon the area—an aura so immense it bordered on demigod-level.
…
In Bone City, atop the walls, Arthas’s eyes snapped open.
As he did, he drew his longsword.
“Now’s the time!”
Roar!
A sound erupted from Arthas’s throat.
From his body emerged a colossal skeletal figure, crowned and wielding a giant sword.
The skeletal apparition towered over the battlefield, blotting out the sky. The moment it appeared, day turned to night.
