Without breaking a sweat, Saga unleashed his Dragon Might and annihilated all the titans below the demigod level.

Facing Saga’s demigod titan, who had killed their deity and caused the deaths of many kin, the titan’s inner rage surged as it was brutally beaten by a legendary creature.

Since rage was the source of power for these titans, its combat strength reached an unprecedented level.

However, even in this state of extreme fury, the furious titan still fell short before Saga.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

Seeing their weaker kin wiped out and their peers completely suppressed, struggling under the attacks of the Golden Dragon, another demigod titan, tightly restrained by the Elf King, felt its anger rising.

Boom!

A punch shattered the sword light slashed by the Elf King.

The demigod titan roared, its massive body crushing towards the Elf King, who had a normal human physique.

Facing the charging demigod titan, the Elf King took a deep breath, his sharp gaze locking onto the titan as he swung his sword from a distance.

In an instant, red light descended from the sky, enveloping the Elf King and converging on his longsword, bursting forth with his swing.

Blood Vortex Gale!

Centered on the demigod titan, endless red light gathered like a storm, forming a vortex in the sky, each ray of light a sharp, indestructible sword beam.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The sword beams pierced through the titan’s furious blood flame defense, leaving crisscrossing sword marks on its body, layer upon layer, shocking to behold.

“Insignificant elf! I will devour you alive!”

Being harmed by a legendary creature was a great humiliation for a demigod, and the Elf King lacked Saga’s God-slayer aura, further enraging the furious titan.

Boom, boom, boom!

The demigod titan’s fierce gaze burned with rage, its blood flames boiling as it charged forward, using its body as a weapon, ignoring the countless sharp sword beams cutting into it, forcefully breaking through the sword blade storm.

The red light from the Casserly Abyss’s slashes had an erosion effect, slightly slowing the titan’s regeneration, but not by much.

Though covered in blood and wounds, they were superficial, and the demigod titan’s injuries quickly healed before the eyes, the dense sword marks insignificant.

Though not as strong as Saga, the titan’s defense was still abnormally strong, ranking high among its peers.

The legendary Elf King’s combat power could rival an ordinary demigod.

But the furious titan was no ordinary creature. As a demigod, its rage made it stronger, with near-infinite power, self-healing, and defense, making it incredibly formidable.

Otherwise, Saga wouldn’t need to use dragon soul energy to single-handedly defeat a demigod titan.

To face such a powerful demigod, the Elf King bore immense pressure.

After breaking through the sword blade storm, the even angrier titan charged at the Elf King with greater speed, abandoning defense and allowing the Elf King’s attacks to hit, closing in with brute force.

Whoosh!

Domain of Fury!

With a wave of its hand, overwhelming flames of fury engulfed the Elf King, suppressing the red light around him and sealing all space.

“Elf, your death is imminent!”

The demigod titan was eager to kill the Elf King and then support its companions to deal with the God-slayer.

Facing the furious demigod titan, the Elf King’s gaze was calm and rational, just like when he fought Saga. Despite the immense pressure, his heart remained unshaken.

It was as if he was dancing on the edge of a blade, testing the line between life and death.

Wrapped in the light of a blood-red sun, the Elf King dodged the titan’s attacks at close range, occasionally counterattacking, leaving more insignificant sword marks on the titan.

Rage granted the furious titan immense power and regenerative abilities.

The downside was that it dulled their thinking, making it harder to maintain enough rationality to think clearly.

Before long.

While the titan was distracted, many seemingly minor but intricately patterned sword marks covered its body.

Whoosh!

The Elf King agilely dodged another attack, retreating with the wind of the titan’s punch.

At the same time, as the titan pursued, the Elf King raised his sword, aiming at the titan’s body from a distance.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In an instant, the titan’s body froze, and the red sword marks on its body lit up, moving like living creatures, converging in the center of its body, forming a bright blood-red line from head to groin.

Blade of Convergence!

With a swing of the Elf King’s arm, his sword slashed down.

Slash!

“Ah!”

A pained, agonized howl erupted from the demigod titan.

Blood splattered, and the blood-red marks on its body cut deeper, slicing through flesh, bone, and organs, nearly splitting it in half. Even the titan’s formidable physique couldn’t withstand it.

The Elf King was a prodigy, with limitless insight in combat.

Fighting Saga made the Elf King realize that while his slashes were sharp, they fell short against creatures with extreme defense. So, he studied Saga’s techniques, developing a new sword skill similar to the Ten Thousand Slashes, capable of breaking through tough defenses.

Though it might not break Saga’s invincible Force Field, it was stronger than his previous techniques.

The Elf King believed that with persistence, he would eventually develop a sword skill capable of breaking Saga’s defense.

For now, the furious titan was his whetstone.

Sizzle!

Amidst the titan’s painful and angry roars, the sword marks continued to cut deeper.

But, ultimately, it wasn’t enough.

The titan, nearly split in two, panted heavily.

Its arms tightened, and the severe blood-red mark in the middle of its body slowly healed and disappeared.

“Elf, I underestimated you. I almost died by your hand.”

The furious titan exhaled deeply, its anger slowly dissipating despite the near-death experience.

The Elf King looked regretful.

“What a pity. If I were a demigod, I could have killed you with one strike.”

He shook his head slightly, speaking as if stating a fact.

“Maybe, but you’re not a demigod now.”

“However, I will treat you as a true demigod.”

“This means you will no longer have any chance to kill me.”

As he whispered, the furious titan erupted again, its massive body bringing a gust of evil wind as it charged at the Elf King.

Unlike before, the titan suppressed its rage, lowering its combat power to maintain a calmer, more rational mind.

Its attacks were no longer purely violent but methodical, gradually compressing the Elf King’s space.

Thus, the Elf King, whose overall strength was inferior to the demigod titan, fell into a quagmire.

Eventually, a few minutes later.

With no way to escape, the demigod titan landed a fierce punch on the Elf King’s body.

“Die! For a legend to be taken seriously by me, this is an honorable death for you!”

Boom!

The Elf King’s body, focused on offense and agility but weak in defense, cracked all over, nearly shattering.

“Compared to my master, where do I fall short?”

“Defense?”

The Elf King, unafraid of death, whispered to himself, blood dripping from his mouth.

Perhaps he shouldn’t only focus on offense and agility but also develop strong defensive sword skills, leaving no weaknesses. He thought silently.

Previously, the Elf King believed that offense was the best defense.

As long as he was unstoppable, he would be invincible.

Now, he realized that while the concept was good, he was far from achieving it. With powerful opponents whose defenses he couldn’t break, he needed some defensive measures to cover his weaknesses.

Meanwhile.

The furious titan’s punch pressed the Elf King from the sky into the ground, causing the surrounding mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

In a deep crater, the demigod titan raised its fist, ready to deliver a final blow to the heavily injured Elf King.

At this moment.

A massive repulsive force descended, like an invisible hand, slamming into the demigod titan, pushing it far away.

After crashing through several mountains and leaving a long trench on the ground, the titan finally stabilized.

Sensing something amiss, the furious titan shifted its gaze from the Elf King to another direction, its heart sinking.

What it saw was a dragon claw piercing through the chest of a colossal titan, gripping the demigod titan’s body tightly. The black-and-white dragon’s face was stern and cold.

Squelch!

The dragon claw tightened, emitting electromagnetic light that eroded the demigod titan’s life force.

To kill the Elf King and support its companions, the furious titan had suppressed its urgency, adopting a methodical approach.

However, as it pushed the Elf King to the brink.

Saga had already defeated the struggling demigod titan, saving the Elf King in the process.

“…Thank you.”

The Elf King hesitated, finally speaking to Saga.

Though Saga had left a mental imprint on him, making him gradually loyal and admiring, Saga hadn’t altered his personality.

For the naturally cold and ruthless Elf King, these words of gratitude were a first.

“Your life belongs to me now.”

“You will fight for me in the Casserly Abyss. You live if I allow it; you die if I permit it.”

Saga glanced at the Elf King, speaking calmly.

Such a capable subordinate, Saga didn’t want him to die too soon.

On the other side, the ignored demigod titan roared deafeningly.

“God-slayer! You deserve to die! I will make you pay!”

Its face twisted, veins bulging, as the rage it had suppressed erupted, its muscles swelling like steel blocks, blood flames burning fiercely.

It glared at the dragon in the sky.

The titan’s eyes were bloodshot, its vision red with the rage of losing all its kin.

Saga ignored the raging titan, speaking to the Elf King:

“Stand up for your king and continue fighting.”

At the same time, he extended a dragon claw, pointing at the Elf King, covering him with an invisible Force Field.

Applying Force Field to others was something Saga had recently mastered.

Though weaker than his own, it was still resilient, not easily broken.

Not wanting to waste too much dragon soul energy, having killed one demigod titan, Saga left the remaining one to the Elf King.

The Elf King was slightly stunned.

Feeling the indestructible barrier around him.

He stood up, the red light from the sky falling on him, rapidly restoring his state. The Elf King also had strong regenerative abilities, able to continue fighting as long as he wasn’t killed outright.

“Let me experience this invincible defense.”

With a sharp gleam in his eyes, the Elf King flew up, like a drawn sword, charging at the demigod titan.

The titan’s target was Saga.

But the Elf King posed a significant threat, forcing it to engage.

“Elf, you dare to fight after surviving by luck? Foolish!”

Roaring in rage, the demigod titan punched at the Elf King.

The Elf King gathered his strength, not dodging, and slashed with his sword.

Blood Sun Slash!

A blood-red sun appeared before the sword, cutting into the titan’s fist, nearly reaching its forearm, while the Elf King was sent flying.

Hmm?

Something felt off.

The demigod titan’s heart sank.

Its bloody fist slowly healed, but before it fully recovered, the unscathed Elf King returned, with only a faint crack in the Force Field.

Blocking the titan’s strike, the Force Field had a crack but was far from breaking.

The Elf King’s handsome face, stained with the titan’s blood, showed a hint of excitement and joy.

Without fearing the demigod titan’s attacks, the Elf King, whose attacks were exceptionally sharp among demigods, launched a storm of slashes.

The titan couldn’t break the Force Field.

And it couldn’t withstand the Elf King’s relentless attacks.

Moreover, the Elf King’s attacks carried the red light erosion from the Casserly Abyss, weakening the titan’s regeneration with each strike.

The titan, which had previously dominated the Elf King, now found itself at a severe disadvantage.

On the other side.

“This feeling is wonderful.”

The Elf King whispered to himself.

Indestructible defense, unstoppable offense, both combined.

For the Elf King, it was an unprecedented experience.

He immersed himself in this feeling, each attack fiercer than the last, while the titan’s regeneration couldn’t keep up, its body becoming a bloody mess.

Finally.

After blocking many attacks, the Force Field was on the verge of breaking.

The Elf King slashed at the titan’s neck, already heavily wounded.

Swoosh!

The titan’s head, with an expression of intense unwillingness, flew off, decapitated by a single strike.

“I’m not reconciled!”

Without even facing the God-slayer directly, the titan’s head roared in unwillingness as it died at the hands of his follower.

The headless body punched, shattering the Force Field and sending the Elf King flying.

Driven by its final will, the titan’s head, burning with blood flames, shot towards the Golden Dragon, using its teeth as weapons.

“It seems you wish to follow your deity’s path and die by my hand.”

“I’m not an Evil Dragon, so I’ll grant your wish.”

Saga swung his dragon wing, sending a simple gravity blade that split the titan’s head in two.

Thus, the titan tribe in the Sooty Mountains was completely annihilated.

Before they could cause trouble, Saga had eliminated the greatest potential threat in this sphere.

“Ramiel, how did it feel just now?”

Turning to the approaching Elf King, Saga asked.

“It felt great.”

The Elf King, who had discovered a new world, replied solemnly.

Saga nodded slightly, then looked around at the devastated Sooty Mountains, nearly destroyed in the battle.

The titan tribe had been cleared.

Few obstacles remained in this sphere to hinder Saga’s plans.

Moreover, after killing the titans and absorbing their souls, the high-quality titan souls replenished his dragon soul energy, with plenty to spare.

“Claiming all the sand essence stones and black swamp stones in this sphere, I wonder if it will be enough for me to break through to the demigod realm.”

Saga looked at the Elf King and asked:

“If I want to unify this sphere, where do you think I should start?”

Compared to Saga, the Elf King, who had been exiled earlier, knew more about the situation here. Though Saga had his own ideas, he didn’t mind consulting the Elf King.

After some thought, the Elf King slowly spoke:

“Fortress of Final Wish.”

The Fortress of Final Wish, the largest neutral abyssal prisoner gathering place, was ruled by four demigod prisoners. However, there were differences among demigods, and titan demigods were quite powerful. The two titan demigods were actually stronger than those in the Fortress of Final Wish.

“Indeed, just as I thought.”

Saga smiled slightly.

“Then let’s start with the Fortress of Final Wish. This time, we’ll focus on conquest rather than slaughter.”

He needed a sufficient number of slaves to mine for him, and the Fortress of Final Wish, with its many abyssal prisoners, was a must-take target.
