Titan King: Ascension of the Giant - Chapter 591

Chapter 591: Child of magic
“Lizard… mount… waaagh… where?”

Rolan raised his hand, pointing towards a distant area of the camp surrounded by a group of younglings.

“Right over there. Three lizard cubs, reportedly with very good aptitude and talent.”

“Rolan, aren’t you going to tame one?”

Steelblade turned and took a step, but then his stride suddenly halted.

Steelblade turned his head back, looking at Rolan with some surprise.

“No. When I come of age, I will just like Mentor, and tame an abyss dragon.”

Following in Orion’s footsteps, chasing Orion’s shadow—this was Rolan’s goal, his conviction.

Steelblade stood stunned for a moment, thought for a while, then retracted his steps.

“I also want to tame an abyss dragon as my own mount.”

“A giant’s mount should be an abyss dragon!”

Rolan smiled but didn’t speak. He and Steelblade watched the younglings in the distance who were already attempting to tame the lizards.

…

It wasn’t just the barracks; both the inner and outer city were reveling.

Today, Stoneheart City surged with a spirit of unity and the jubilant atmosphere following a triumphant return.

Many people left their homes, coming out onto the streets to cheer and celebrate with friends and family.

The distribution and sale of a portion of the spoils caused an even greater sensation.

Listening to these cheers, Sylvana, standing by the window of a castle bedroom, was calm.

“I hear the cheers of the beastfolk. Their lives are better than before.”

Sylvana turned her head. Her eyes weren’t open, but the direction she faced was towards the old elder nearby.

“Thanks to your blessing, the beastfolk who followed us now live good lives.”

“In these past two years, the number of beastfolk cubs has increased by more than five times.”

“Prophet, you were right!”

Sylvana didn’t respond to the old elder. She turned her head back, continuing to listen to the cheers coming from the beastfolk.

“It’s still early… compared to the golden age I [saw]… there is still a gap!”

…

Three days later, the teleportation array in the military barracks was activated, and Nico, Kadir, and others were transported north to Blackstone City.

And Orion teleported to Soraya City in the Valkorath Realm.

When Orion appeared at the Soraya City teleportation array, Lilith and Soraya immediately sensed his aura and both walked out of Dusk Castle.

“Is there anything you want to ask?”

Orion put an arm around each of them. He believed that with their intelligence capabilities, certain matters must have already reached their ears.

However, neither Lilith nor Soraya spoke; both women shook their heads.

“The princess of the Human Kingdom, bore me a son.”

“That child is named Kronos Stoneheart. I gave him the name.”

“And Pallas Stoneheart is this little one’s name.”

Orion reached out, gently stroking Lilith’s belly, telling her the child’s name.

“That child is quite pitiful!” Lilith finally spoke.

Orion nodded; he strongly agreed with Lilith’s assessment.

Kronos’s upbringing environment was destined to receive little resource allocation from the Stoneheart Horde.

“Daddy, daddy!”

Just then, the figure of their adopted daughter Elara appeared outside the castle, her voice following close behind.

In a blur, Elara appeared on Orion’s neck, her small hands tightly gripping Orion’s ears.

“Daddy, Elara missed you so much!”

Orion revealed a gentle smile, reaching back to pat Elara’s small bottom.

“Elara was asleep earlier, I didn’t expect her to wake so soon!”

Soraya looked up, glancing at Elara, her eyes full of affection.

“Was that just teleportation?”

“Who taught her?”

The speed at which Elara had reached Orion’s neck was so fast it startled even Orion.

Lilith and Soraya both shook their heads, indicating they knew nothing about it.

“This isn’t the first time. After you left, I once took this little one to play around Soraya City. One time I turned around, and she was gone.”

“After quite a while, she suddenly appeared beside me in an instant.”

“I asked her where she went, and she said the lantern bugs were fun, she went to catch bugs.”

Soraya recounted a previous incident she had experienced to Orion.

“Elara, you’re amazing! You already know magic!”

Orion pulled Elara into his arms, staring into her clear, large eyes, seeing not concealment, but confusion.

“Daddy!”

Instead, Elara’s call of “daddy” stirred some excitement in Orion, who was experiencing fatherhood for the first time.

“Elara, can you tell daddy who taught you magic?”

“Daddy, what’s magic?”

Elara looked up at Orion, her eyes filled with confusion.

Orion wasn’t disappointed, nor did he press further. Instead, he shook his head, smiled, and placed Elara back onto his neck.

“No one taught her. The teleportation is something she comprehended herself!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. The figure of Deputy Commander Edward appeared nearby.

Deputy Commander Edward was clad in a white robe trimmed with gold edges. Two strands of white beard reaching his chest lent him more of a scholarly air.

“You brought her back from the Godforsaken Land, didn’t you?”

“Yes, Deputy Commander!”

Orion nodded in greeting. Lilith and Soraya beside him hurriedly bowed in salute.

They knew very well that the being before them was a true demigod.

The Deputy Commander glanced at the two women. Understanding his implicit signal, Lilith and Soraya nodded to Orion and turned back into the castle.

“If I’m not mistaken, she is the Holy Spirit finally condensed from a remnant World Spirit.”

“That Godforsaken Land was a world of magic, therefore, she was born for magic.”

The Deputy Commander took out a piece of World Essence resembling candy and offered it to Elara.

Elara looked at Orion, then at the World Essence in Edward’s hand, her eyes filled with longing.

“Elara, do you want it?”

Orion asked, and Elara nodded.

The Deputy Commander lightly raised his right hand, and the World Essence entered Elara’s mouth.

“She belongs to the Holy Spirit, born sacred, possessing power rivaling gods. She is a creation of the world, the world’s hope.”

“She is a child of magic; without cultivation, she can comprehend various kinds of magic.”

“Her potential is infinite, but the resources required are also immense.”

Edward and Orion strolled through Soraya City, the former explaining Elara’s origins to Orion.

The Deputy Commander had encountered remnant World Spirits before, but Elara was the first one composed entirely of magic.

“Deputy Commander, what resources does Elara need to grow?”

“World Essence. The more, the better!”

Orion understood now why the Deputy Commander had fed Elara World Essence earlier.

“I wish to take her as my disciple!”
