Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

"How did you know I was here?"

Orion pulled Lumi into his arms.

"The moment you entered the northern region, they told me."

Nestled against Orion, Lumi reached out with her icy fingers, catching a snowflake that drifted down from the sky.

"How have you been lately? I can sense you've made a lot of progress."

"The expansion of the territory broadened my domain. I'm much stronger than before."

"Domain?"

Orion lifted his head from Lumi's neck, surprised. The idea of a "domain" was new to him, and it piqued his curiosity.

"Yes, a domain. It's a power we elementals are born with, akin to the talent that you possess."

Holding Lumi close, Orion fell into thought. "Is it something like an aura or a pressure?"

Lumi shook her head, then looked at Orion intently. She found it strange—his arrival had stirred something deep inside her. Was it Orion's intense, masculine aura or his powerful cock that set off these feelings? Lumi knew perfectly well that this odd sensation was raising her body temperature.

Though Lumi didn't voice her thoughts, the sky gradually filled with snow, and that alone spoke volumes.

"My Lumi, tell me more about what a domain is."

Seeing Lumi again and pulling her into his embrace filled Orion with a sense of triumph.

"Wherever there is snow, my domain exists. In my domain, I can sense everything. The moment you set foot on the snowy ground, I knew you were here."

Orion still didn't entirely grasp what a domain meant, so he asked another related question:

"Does Gustalon have a domain as well?"

"Yes, he does," Lumi answered, nodding. "Wherever Gustalon roams, if there's wind, then his domain is there. The domain of wind is even more elusive and far-reaching."

At that, Orion suddenly realized something. "So when Gustalon turns himself into wind and vanishes, he's using the power of his domain?"

"That's right. That's exactly how one wields a domain."

"Besides elementals, can other races master this power?"

"I'm not sure."

Lumi shook her head, extending her hand. Snowflakes appeared and vanished in her palm, over and over.

"Shall we go to your place?"

Though Orion hadn't found a concrete answer, his thoughts had begun drifting toward Lumi's body. Indeed, merely seeing her had aroused his desire, and all he wanted was to make love to her.

"All right," Lumi replied, her voice low—a subconscious reaction.

Her thighs had already begun rubbing together on their own. Just picturing Orion's big cock had her vagina growing wet. Yet Lumi's face hid her inner longing well; she still looked cold and aloof, even though her desire burned fiercely inside.

Swish… Swish… Swish…

A gust of snow whipped through the air, enveloping both Orion and Lumi.

In the midst of swirling ice and snow, Lumi was suddenly struck by a playful thought. Wrapping her arms around Orion, she said, "Follow me."

Orion didn't answer. He let Lumi hold him tight.

It was a strange sensation. First came piercing cold that felt bone-deep. Then, an indescribable warmth replaced it. He and Lumi seemed to merge, losing any sense of separation, almost as if their minds and nerves were momentarily bound together.

When Orion opened his eyes again, both he and Lumi were standing inside the mountain cave where she lived.

"How long did that take?" Orion asked.

"Fifteen minutes."

Orion was astonished. He clearly remembered that this cave was very far from where he had been—normally, even moving as lightning would require half a day to get here. Yet they had made it in only fifteen minutes.

"My sweet Lumi, what was that feeling just now?"

Lumi lifted her head and gazed at him. The endearment "my sweet Lumi" stirred something within her, yet she found it strangely pleasant.

"That was my domain."

Hearing this, Orion felt a sudden clarity, though he still didn't fully understand it.

"Aren't you going in?"

Her cool voice echoed in the cavern, colored by curiosity and just a hint of longing.

Shaken from his thoughts, Orion regarded the icy beauty in his arms. Her pure appearance reignited his desire. He followed her deeper into the cave.

As soon as they were inside, Orion stripped Lumi's clothes away, laid her on an ice-carved bed, and made passionate love to her.

Gradually, even Lumi's frosty body grew warm. The cave filled with the sounds of their pleasure as time slipped away.

Half a month later, a fierce flurry of snow whirled out from the frozen plains toward the Abyssal Chasm, continuing south all the way to the edge of the black forest before finally coming to a halt.

"Go back. When you reach Legendary rank, I'll come and bring you back home myself."

"All right."

As Lumi spoke, she transformed into swirling snow and disappeared before Orion's eyes.

Orion looked up at the drifting flakes, caught one in his palm, and watched it melt on his skin. Then, he changed into lightning and streaked toward the south.

The rumble of thunder faded, yet within the flurry of snow, Lumi reappeared. Remaining on the spot, she watched the direction Orion had gone for a long, silent moment.

During these days spent with Orion, she had been completely conquered. It wasn't just his tremendous strength but also his potent sexual power. Even an elemental being like Lumi had to admit that Orion was exceptionally gifted when it came to lovemaking.

Another half a month later, in Stoneheart City, Orion emerged from the teleportation array with Lilith, accompanied by a burst of energy.

"Wow, that's so cool! We really made it here—like traveling through time and space!"

On the plaza, several hundred horde younglings shouted in unison. It was their first journey away from home, and everything excited them.

Orion glanced at Earthshaker, who was standing beside the group, and said calmly, "Take these youngsters on a tour of Stoneheart City, then entrust them to the Elder of Stewardship. From now on, they'll live in the youth camp under the horde's supervision."

Earthshaker nodded and led the wide-eyed younglings out of the subterranean castle plaza. Meanwhile, Orion, his arm linked with Lilith's, headed for the castle exit.

"Come on, I'll show you around and let you see how Stoneheart City has been rebuilt."

Lilith smiled warmly, merely nodding without saying a word.

No sooner had they stepped out of the castle than Orion's guards—Dace, Otho, Beyn, and Torba—appeared at the gate. Sensing Orion's presence, they had rushed over at their top speed.

Orion took one look at them, delighted to see they had all successfully advanced to Alpha-level.

"Good. Now you finally look like guards worthy of a Giant King."

Dace, Otho, Beyn, and Torba stood ramrod straight, four Frost Wolves crouching behind them like obedient soldiers awaiting Orion's review. This moment was one of pride and honor for them.

As the giant king's guards, they had at last achieved Alpha-level strength, no longer feeling weak or unworthy.

"All right, then come along with Lilith and me for a stroll."

At that, Orion strode off with Lilith on his arm, making his way into the streets of Stoneheart City.

"As you command. May our king's glory shine upon the entire continent!"

"As you command. May our king's glory shine upon the entire continent!"

"…!"

Hearing their echo from just ahead, Orion paused for a second and let out a slightly embarrassed smile. He didn't look back, nor did he reproach them or order them to stop.

Beside him, Lilith tilted her head, gazing at Orion. Her lips curved faintly upward, her eyes gleaming with a hint of playful amusement.
