Titan King: Ascension of the Giant - Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Do you have any last words?

Aldous roared, emboldened by the presence of Orion and Prince Theodore backing him up.

“And you, damned reptile!”

“How dare you invade ogre territory! I will smash your head and craft your bones into the most perfect club!”

Seeing that neither Orion nor Prince Theodore spoke, Lokiviria and Ssorin focused their attention entirely on Aldous.

“Lord Bluehide(Aldous), this is just a misunderstanding. We are willing to return your territory and make appropriate compensation.”

“Sir, if you are willing, we can even form an alliance to maintain peace in this region together.”

Ssorin yielded, willing to compensate Aldous.

But Aldous’s purpose here today wasn’t to gain benefits; it was to exact revenge.

Furthermore, if they negotiated peace, the share of benefits promised to Orion and Prince Theodore would vanish into thin air.

“It’s too late, damned lizard!”

Aldous launched his attack, targeting Lord Ssorin.

Orion and Prince Theodore exchanged a glance and also made their moves.

Prince Theodore went to assist Aldous, while Orion, wielding his trident, appeared not far from Lokiviria.

“Lord Lokiviria, I didn’t expect that when we met again, it would be under arms.”

Orion was very calm; he paid no mind to Lokiviria’s current strength.

The reason Orion hadn’t acted was merely to use Ssorin to gauge the capabilities of Aldous and Prince Theodore.

Aldous certainly hadn’t used his full strength during the North-South War.

As for Prince Theodore, apart from the time he acted when retrieving Princess Ava from Stoneheart City, Orion knew nothing of his true depth.

And this occasion served as an opportunity to gather intelligence.

“Lord Orion, this truly is just a misunderstanding! I was deceived and coerced by Ssorin into invading the ogre territory with him.”

“Lokiviria holds no hostility towards the Giant tribe.”

Lokiviria’s entire body tensed. He was extremely nervous, hoping his explanation could spare the Insectoid race from this disaster.

“Lord Lokiviria, you had best not move, or you will face the consequences.”

Orion’s expression betrayed no emotion, but his cold gaze swept over, sending chills down Lokiviria’s spine.

“Lord Orion, I am willing to cede half my territory in exchange for peace talks.”

“I am also willing to offer vast amounts of crystal cores, minerals, and magical plants, only asking the great Giant King to forgive the Insectoid race.”

Orion smiled faintly but didn’t respond to Lokiviria, instead turning his gaze towards the ongoing battle between Aldous, Ssorin, and Prince Theodore.

“Look, it was two against one back then too. This was the predicament Aldous faced before.”

“Shameless lizardfolk! You dared to make Aldous wander, make Aldous homeless!”

“Aldous will settle this score with you now!”

Aldous vented, chattering endlessly.

For the highly intelligent Aldous, physical violence couldn’t truly harm him; expulsion and coercion were the greatest insults.

“Smash his head, scoop out his tasty brain…”

Aldous’s other head took control of the body. Terrifyingly, the spiked club ignited with a layer of blood-red flames as it smashed violently towards Ssorin.

Ssorin transformed into the shape of a giant lizard. In this form, both his combat power and size increased, and he needed no weapons, as his teeth and skin were the most powerful weapons.

“Damned ogre! I have already apologized and offered compensation!”

“What more do you want?”

“Do you really think you can kill me?”

Ssorin let out a furious roar, like that of a dragon, actually carrying draconic pressure.

However, the draconic pressure caused no harm whatsoever to the four beings present.

Nevertheless, after roaring, Ssorin successively activated several of his bloodline abilities.

Dragon’s Bloodline, Hardened Skin, Thorn Spikes. Ssorin’s body expanded once more.

Correspondingly, Ssorin’s strength and self-healing ability also increased considerably.

“Filthy ogre, today I will show you the true difference between you and a dragon!”

Yes, Ssorin also possessed dragon blood within him; he had some dragon genes.

Ssorin was not like Slagor; he truly belonged to the dragon race.

However, most lizardfolk were merely the lowest tier of dragonkin.

Ssorin completed his self-enhancement; his defensive capabilities increased, and bony spikes grew out from many parts of his body.

Aldous was not about to be intimidated by this; his attacks instead grew fiercer.

Prince Theodore, clad in sacred armor and wielding a one-handed greatsword, followed behind Aldous, also launching sharp attacks.

“You can’t escape!”

On the other side, Orion’s cold voice rang out, freezing Lokiviria, who had been about to turn and flee, in place.

Ssorin was besieged and fighting back, meaning the situation was irreconcilable.

Lokiviria wanted to flee, but Orion’s pressure locked onto him completely.

Although Orion had been watching the other battle just moments ago, his peripheral vision had constantly tracked Lokiviria.

“Lord Orion, this truly is just a misunderstanding!”

“The Insectoid race is willing to pay any price to end this war.”

Lokiviria’s voice was polite and sincere. Given the circumstances, he had no choice but to bow his head and accept defeat.

“If you want peace talks, first have your people stop resisting.”

“After Ssorin is killed, you can negotiate with the Ogre Lord yourself.”

Orion’s cold voice put Lokiviria in a very difficult position.

While Aldous and Ssorin clashed, down on the earth, insectoids, lizardfolk, humans, giants, gnolls, orcs, and beastfolk were already locked in a chaotic melee. Blood and fire burned, unleashed.

The green earth was quickly stained red with blood.

If Lokiviria ordered his people to stop resisting at this moment, the Insectoids faced only one outcome: ruthless slaughter.

The soldiers on the battlefield, driven mad by killing, wouldn’t care whether you surrendered or stopped resisting.

Their fallen comrades and brothers had already ignited their inner bloodlust and hatred.

At such times, only killing could stop the killing. Their war would only end when the enemy was exterminated, or they themselves collapsed from exhaustion.

“Unwilling?”

“The opportunity has slipped away!”

Orion withdrew his gaze from Aldous. The siege of Ssorin by Aldous and Prince Theodore wouldn’t conclude anytime soon.

Orion had also realized that Prince Theodore was still holding back, unwilling to reveal his trump cards.

Therefore, the plan to gather intelligence had failed.

“Do you have any last words?”

Boom!

When Lokiviria heard this sentence, he was stunned.

Lokiviria looked down, staring at the trident protruding from his heart, his eyes first filled with disbelief, then transforming into overwhelming fear.

Too fast!

And Orion had disregarded all conventions! He had attacked while asking Lokiviria if he had any last words.

With Orion’s current strength attacking Lokiviria, the latter didn’t even have time to react.

“Im… possible… too… fast!”
