King of Titans and Dragons-Chapter 43 - Dragon King
Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Dragon King!
Chapter 43 -43 Dragon King!
“Crack!” The sky above the Titan Islands began to shatter, causing transparent fragments to fall! However, looking through the gaps left by the falling pieces, the sky was still blue and unchanged. It was not a piece of pitch-black void.
“Huh?” Muria was a little confused at first. He understood that the sky could extend infinitely and wasn’t supposed to have a physical form. He believed the cracks in the sky were due to the sun-like existence tearing the space, causing a space rift.
But when pieces of the sky actually began falling, Muria realized that it was not a space rift. The falling particles were not space debris either. The small semi-transparent pieces, which continuously emitted faint flashes of spirit light, were energy crystals.
“A gigantic puzzle barrier,” Muria judged based on the books he had read over the years when he saw what was happening. He was not reading those books for nothing.

Those were fragments of a shattered puzzle barrier, and it was a gigantic one that covered the entire Titan Islands. The thought of a shielding area so vast was simply unthinkable.
“This puzzle barrier must have a screening function! Regular creatures would hardly qualify to trigger this barrier. Otherwise, with so many foreign giants coming over, I would’ve discovered it much earlier by the triggered barrier. It wouldn’t have waited till now,” Muria looked up at the sky.
“Dimos, you’re quite gutsy, daring to come here and stir up trouble!” A thunderous voice echoed across the sky. Simultaneously, the cyan wind and purple thunder that filled the sky converged into a cyan-purple palm.
The giant palm, formed of wind and thunder, obscured the sky. Seeing this, Muria felt a sense of awe. It was a grand power he couldn’t compete with now.
Subsequently, the gigantic palm of wind and thunder smacked down towards the entity that had shattered the defensive barrier of the Titan Islands. Its might was in no way inferior to the entity radiating boundless golden light.
“Huh, since when have I been timid?” The sun-like entity let out a majestic voice. Then, to Muria’s expectation, a golden-scaled dragon claw extended from the golden “sun” and collided with the palm of wind and thunder without yielding.
“Boom!” The world fell into a momentary hush before a huge booming sounded. Then, following the collision of the two entities, a visible shock wave spread out. The sky above the Titan Islands was as if being swept by a level-12 hurricane.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!” The strong wind passed, and roaring waves as high as ten meters were whipped up on the sea surface. On the islands, countless trees broke from the middle, and the broken branches and leaves darted about in the sky. Various creatures crouched on the ground or hid in their nests, making terrified whimpers.
After standing one single aftermath of the clash of the two entities, numerous islands in the Titan Islands became a mess, with many looking bare and particularly hideous, as if having been raked over.
“Dimos!” A furious growl emanated from somewhere in the Titan Islands.
“Hey, why are you angry? It’s not me who started,” the Golden Ancient Dragon Dimos, radiating endless golden light, said indifferently, behaving as if he didn’t break the barrier of the Titan Islands first.
“… Huh?” After a moment of silence, that voice uttered a surprised figure, “Dimos, you have broken through that boundary?”
“Are you that surprised? Are you looking down on me?” The Golden Ancient Dragon Dimos retorted unhappily. Regardless of how many creatures could hear him, he didn’t care, “You merely broke through a few hundred years earlier than me, so now I can’t break through?”
“… I thought you planned to become a deity.”
“Hmph!” The Golden Ancient Dragon Dimos sneered, not paying any attention. However, the golden light emanating from his body became even more dazzling, making it harder for one to see his blurry figure.
“Boom!” The gigantic puzzle barrier covering the sky over the Titan Islands was smashed open by a huge gap by the Golden Ancient Dragon Dimos, who then pressed on and rapidly flew towards Taiji Island where Muria was.
“Dimos, just because you broke through the boundary and became the Dragon King, you think you can act so wildly? You even dare to destroy the warning maze of my Titan tribe. Are you looking for a fight?” Hearing Dimos’ indifferent sneer, the voice was silent at first, but when it saw what Dimos had done, it started to get angry.
“Hey, is your Titan tribe just mad?” Dimos questioned back, “I’m here to find my grandson. It’s not like I’m looking for trouble with your Titan tribe. Who told you to set up this stupid thing blocking my path?”
“Since when do the Titan Islands have the kin of you golden dragons?” A doubtful voice asked.
“Osiris, you must be sleeping too much!” Dimos ridiculed in surprise, not bothering to answer his question.
“Huh?” Osiris, the Titan, followed Dimos’s gaze. Subsequently, he saw Muria standing atop the Five-Color Dragon Castle and he gasped, “Child of a Titan and a dragon!”
“So, it’s just like that. Life really is inconceivable. It seems that I have been sleeping too long,” Osiris, the Titan, marvelled after discovering Muria’s existence. Then, he fell silent.
Over the castle, Muria first felt a consciousness sweep over his body like facing an ocean storm, vast and oppressive.
However, Muria didn’t feel any discomfort. On the contrary, after this consciousness passed over his body, his blood boiled even more fiercely. Another power began to awaken but didn’t manifest in an abnormal way, his dragonization phenomenon was interrupted and suppressed by this power.
Then, Muria looked straight ahead, a “sun” descended onto Taiji Island. The whole island was dyed golden by the sunlight, turning Taiji Island into a golden island.
Finally, the “sun” descended in front of Muria, golden light pouring on the Five-Color Dragon Castle. The Storm Giants standing on the castle with Muria could no longer endure. As the “sun” approached, they couldn’t bear the pressure that seemed vast and oppressive, they knelt on the ground one after another and eventually fell unconscious altogether.
Even the strongest Storm Giants couldn’t endure it, let alone all the creatures on the Five-Color Dragon Castle and Taiji Island. In response to their survival instincts, many of them fainted and fell. The “sun” was an existence they couldn’t directly witness at the moment.
On Taiji Island now, only Muria remained conscious. His perception of the “sun” was different from those of other creatures. Warm and comfortable, that was his feeling, with no hint of oppression, just like facing the winter sun.
“Hey, hey, hey, dad. You’ve broken through the limits, don’t be so boastful, alright? Can you be a bit more humble?” At this moment, on Muria’s shoulder, a space gate appeared, and a stunningly beautiful girl stepped out of the void and sat on Muria’s shoulder.
The Golden Dragon Mother, Atreus, assumed a human girl form.
As the Golden Dragon Mother spoke, the golden light started to fade slowly, and eventually it disappeared. The Ancient Golden Dragon shrouded by golden light was gradually being revealed.
When Muria saw the Ancient Golden Dragon standing in front of the Five-Color Dragon Castle, he couldn’t help but show a look of amazement. This gigantic golden dragon was like a majestic golden mountain.
The golden Dragon King stood on the ground in front of the Five-Color Dragon Castle, yet his line of sight was parallel to Muria’s, who stood atop the castle. His body was inexplicably grand.
One should know, Muria’s castle was constructed proportionally to the height of an adult Titan, a structure so grand it was almost miraculous.
Therefore, Muria’s position was more than three hundred meters above the ground. Considering such a contrast, the real body of Muria’s grandfather, Dimos Elonsas was exceptionally large.
“It cannot be true!” Muria looked at his grandfather’s grand stature, murmuring to himself. Though he hadn’t read many books, he had basic common sense. This was not a body size an ancient dragon could have. Even the largest ancient red dragon couldn’t have such stature.
“Wow! Dad, you’ve grown so much in such a short period of time,” said Golden Dragon Mother Atreus, clearly surprised. Clearly, Muria’s grandfather didn’t look like this before. It had only been recently that he had undergone a great change, so his size had significantly increased.
“I traveled through time and space and had some good luck, then I broke through.” Dimos described indifferently.
“Who are you kidding? Old man, can you break through just by traveling through time and space?” Golden Dragon Mother Atreus looked disdainful, “Take me with you next time. If I don’t break through and become a Dragon King, you take responsibility, okay?”
“Get away with you, it is not so easy to become the Dragon King. Look at the whole Elasia, how many Dragon Kings are there?” scoffed the golden Dragon King. “You should first cultivate to the peak of legend, then think about how to break through to be a Dragon King!”
“Hmph!” Golden Dragon Mother Atreus gave a light hum, then scrutinized Dimos up and down, “Hey, Dad, not only has your body become larger, but your form has also changed quite a bit, hasn’t it?”
“Nonsense.” Dimos really didn’t feel like dealing with his whimsical daughter. Each Dragon King is unique, and their power and form have gone beyond that of ordinary giant dragons.
It was only after hearing Dragon Mother Atreus’s words that Muria reacted. At first, he was stunned by the size of his grandfather. After regaining his senses, he finally took a careful look at his grandfather. The distinctive form of Dimos was revealed.
Dimos’s real body form was significantly different from that of an ordinary golden dragon. First of all, his dragon horns, while an ordinary golden dragon had only one pair of dragon horns, Dimos had eight dragon horns on his head. Four pairs of dragon horns extended backward at different angles, like the crown of a king. It was one of the symbols of the Dragon King.
Although Dimos’s Dragon King’s Body was enormous, Muria, standing on top of the castle, could still see part of it due to the geographical advantage. His body was muscular, a form which only seems present in red dragons.
And the biggest difference was that, on Dimos’s golden dragon body, there were uneven golden bony scale armors. These bony scales covered most of his body. At the connection of these scales, there were “fine” dragon scales relative to his real body.
With one look at Dimos, it was as if he was wearing a heavy golden dragon-shaped full-body armor, which was majestic and imposing. Except for the color of their appearance being golden like the Golden Dragon, there was nothing in common between Muria’s grandfather and the other Golden Dragon. He was a completely new dragon race.
