Chapter 70: Ch 70: When Gods Walk the Battlefield

[ Earth Titan (Disaster Class) ]

[ Power Rank: Marquis (9) ]

[ Abilities:???? ]

The moment the truly colossal Earth Titan rose beyond the rocky ridge, the primordial battlefield rumbled.

The rocky ground fractured and split under the pressure of its ascension. Even Gravity visibly warped in its vicinity and the very air thickened with an oppressive, crushing pressure as the creature straightened its mountainous body, towering far above the other Titans, its massive limbs trailing continents of fragmented rock.

Aegis did not hesitate to give his command,

“Bella. Ruina. Pyro. Unleash it all.”

Bella’s lips curved into a wicked, exhilarated smile. “I was sincerely hoping you would say precisely that, Darling.”

The world immediately dissolved into a blinding, elemental explosion of motion.

Aegis went forward first, his power manifesting not merely as water, but as supreme, terrifying mastery over density and flow.

The air around him visibly trembled as mana condensed into hyper-visible currents. Water did not form as waves or floods this time; it was utilized as absolute pressure and structural density. Invisible, spiraling torrents of high-pressure water wrapped around his limbs, compressing until every movement he made carried the devastating weight of entire deep oceans.

He vanished into a sudden vacuum in the air.

The Titan swung an arm the size of a city block downward, the space around the blow distorting with lethal gravity.

It was impossibly slow.

Aegis reappeared midair, positioned directly above the descending arm, his fist already drawn back, a compressed coil of lethal force.

Boom.

The strike did not simply shatter the stone.

It erased it.

A tightly compressed spiral of lethal water pressure detonated outward from his fist, drilling a perfectly clean hole through the Titan’s massive arm and ripping the structure apart from the inside out. Millions of tons of ancient rock and minerals burst into vaporized fragments, raining down across the basin like fine, gray ash.

“GRRRRRR!”

The Titan bellowed, its roar a seismic event.

Bella moved in the exact same instant, acting as Aegis’s perfect, synchronized partner.

She raised her silver scepter high, her white hair lifting in an elemental breeze as pure divine energy surged from her core.

“Ice and Life. Manifest.”

The ground behind her instantly fractured as towering, crystalline figures rose—her Ice Knights.

These were not inert statues; they were magnificent, living constructs of glacial ice, structurally reinforced with vibrant life essence. Their cores pulsed with an emerald, internal light. Each Knight stood nearly fifty meters tall, perfectly sized to engage the lesser Titans, wielding massive frozen greatswords etched with defensive runes.

“Advance,” Bella commanded with power and thr Ice Knights charged forward.

Boom!

They slammed into the nearest Earth Titans with truly thunderous force, their crystalline blades cleaving deep into the stone flesh while their massive, ice-sharded shields absorbed crushing blows that would have flattened any mortal fortress. Where the ice cracked under impact, the infused life magic regenerated it instantly, reforging shattered limbs mid-combat without pause.

One Knight locked its shield against a Titan’s chest plate while another effortlessly vaulted upward, plunging a massive frozen greatsword straight into the Titan’s skull.

“Crack. Shatter.”

Precious Sky Crystals spilled free, falling onto the chaotic ground.

Above them, the sky darkened not with clouds, but with a sudden, oppressive shade.

Ruina roared.

Her body expanded and shifted. Her humanoid shell cracked and fell away, replaced by her true form: a magnificent, terrifying Silver Dragon. Her wings unfurled wide enough to eclipse a section of the battlefield, her scales shimmering like liquid mercury.

She descended like a judgment from the heavens.

Silver, purifying fire poured from her mouth—not fire that burned, but fire that annihilated. Earth Titans caught in the torrent disintegrated layer by layer, their inherent regenerative cores failing instantly under the intense purity of the draconic energy.

“Do not approach the crystals!” Ruina’s voice thundered, vibrating the very air. “These spoils belong to my masters, and only my masters!”

Then the ground shook again, strangely localized.

Pyro also grew.

The small, round elemental slime expanded at an impossible rate, flames swelling outward as its gelatinous body stretched into a massive, molten form.

A Titan Slime.

Approximately 100 meters tall.

Its surface glowed fiercely with molten fire veins, its body still retaining the round, wobbly shape of a slime, but now radiating an overwhelming, focused power.

Boink.

The Titan Slime slammed down onto an unsuspecting Earth Titan.

The creature was instantly crushed flat beneath the absurd, molten mass, reduced to fine, hot rubble in a single, ridiculous impact.

Pyro bounced again.

Another Titan shattered.

Boink. Boink.

Each devastating impact sent shockwaves through the battlefield, pulverizing stone bodies with ridiculous ease and efficiency.

From a distance, the other adventurers stared in utter disbelief.

“What… what in the hell is that immense thing?” one shouted in disbelief.

“Is that actually a slime?” another screamed, unable to reconcile the size with the creature type.

“Yes. That’s a Titan-sized slime!”

“It’s impossible! Slimes don’t possess that kind of power!”

A third adventurer, a mage, dropped his weapon in exasperation.

“We’ve been fighting for hours just to fell one of them, and they’re wiping out dozens like they’re mere insects!”

A nearby group of mages stood frozen, their complex spells dissipating unfinished mid-cast.

“Those Knights-— they are fighting the Titans head-on!”

“And they are regenerating instantly!”

“And that silver dragon…. the bloodlime pressure alone is suffocating me!”

“Who are these people?”

Aegis landed atop a shattered Titan skull, pulling his trident free as the dark energy surrounding him dissipated slightly.

Another Earth Titan, sensing a pause, immediately lunged toward him, its gravitational domain flaring violently around the target.

Aegis merely raised his free hand.

Water condensed instantly, forming a spiraling sphere of such extreme density that it visibly distorted the light passing through it.

“Collapse,” he murmured.

The sphere imploded with silent, hyper-focused force.

The Titan’s own gravitational field was violently reversed inward, crushing its massive, rocky body into itself. The stone screamed as its mass folded, compressed, and finally shattered into a dense, solid core no larger than a small carriage.

The Sky Crystal popped free, launched into the air by the force.

Bella caught it midair with a gentle flick of her ice magic.

She glanced at Aegis, perfectly composed.

“Three more coming from your left flank, Arlan.”

“I see them, Bella,” he replied calmly, already moving.

They moved together now, not side-by-side like equals, but in a complementary, perfect rhythm of destruction.

Aegis shattered the defenses.

Bella controlled the volatile battlefield.

Where Titans moved uncontrollably, ice walls rose instantly, subtly redirecting their clumsy movements. Where the ground threatened to collapse under the sheer force of the battle, life magic reinforced it. Her Ice Knights moved like seamless extensions of her divine will, coordinating flawlessly with every single one of Aegis’s lethal strikes.

An Earth Titan attempted to regenerate after losing its core to Aegis’s pressure magic.

Aegis did not allow the process to start.

Invisible water threads pierced every fracture simultaneously, flooding the creature’s body with localized pressure until it burst apart like waterlogged, soaked clay.

Another Titan attempted a desperate retreat.

But Ruina’s massive silver tail smashed it into the ground, pinning it securely long enough for Pyro to execute its final move.

Boink.

The battlefield rapidly transformed into a storm of focused, elemental power.

A true tsunami of destruction.

Sky Crystals fell like scattered rain.

The reaction of the remaining adventurers turned swiftly from shock into paralyzing fear.

“Dumb fuck! They’re not hunting Titans,” one man whispered, horrified. “They are cleansing the entire graveyard.”

“Should— should we try to retrieve the crystals while they are distracted?” another suggested, voice shaking with greed and terror.

A few desperate figures nervously darted forward, their eyes locked on the glittering blue gems scattered across the devastated land.

They took three cautious steps.

Ruina’s massive silver head turned instantly toward them.

The air around the dragon froze.

The three would-be thieves stopped dead, their blood turning instantly cold under the ancient, terrifying power of her gaze.

One man swallowed hard, abandoning all pretense.

“I- I suddenly remembered I left something incredibly vital back in camp.”

Another nodded frantically, retreating instantly.

“Yes. Me too. A very important tactical item.”

They retreated at once, fear successfully overwhelming greed.

No one dared move again within the Heirs’ perimeter.

As the last Earth Titan fell, crushed between the Ice Knights and a final burst of water pressure, a profound silence finally returned to the basin.

The land was devastated.

Craters stretched for miles.

Stone bodies lay scattered and shattered everywhere.

Sky Crystals floated gently in the air, instantly gathered by Bella’s magic and stored away safely.

Aegis stood amid the ruins, his trident resting casually against his shoulder, perfectly composed.

Bella floated beside him, her breathing steady, her eyes bright with victory.

“Well, That was certainly refreshing.”

Aegis glanced at her, the corner of his lip twitching slightly.

“I think you enjoyed that far too much, Bella.”

She smiled without denying it, the expression pure and terrifying.

Around them, the remaining adventurers watched the victorious duo in reverent, absolute silence.

Someone finally managed to break the spell.

“Magnificent! Magnificent!”
