Chapter 440: Chapter 435 Son, I am your father Chapter 440: Chapter 435 Son, I am your father “Boom!” Muria, donned in the Saintly Imperial Abyss, was flung backward, his towering Titan body collapsing a mountain as he landed.

The consumption of the Elemental Heart led to a rapid increase in his strength, causing a proportional surge in his size as well. At this point, he stood at seventy-six meters tall in his Titan form.

Because he did not wish to enter slumber and his power advanced too hastily, his height had not reached the standard size for a Titan of his tier.

As for his Titan peers, Gerald had just broken through to the first rank of Soul Intent, and Titan Helios, a female Titan older than Muria, had only advanced to the third tier of Soul Intent.

They didn’t take shortcuts like Muria. Every bit of strength was gained through battle and cultivation. Each step was relentless, hence they were temporarily weaker than Muria.

“This is tough!” Muria, having collapsed the mountain and buried in a pile of shattered rocks, steadied himself and stood up again. He summoned the Prison Suppression Halberd that was stuck nearby into his hand, looked at his enemies who had blasted him backward, then strode forward to meet them once more.

Himself against the present given by his father Ansol — a Legendary Third Rank Balrog Flame Demon with a broken horn, his current grinding stone, his training partner.

At first, when Muria met his Titan father in the Scarlet Royal Palace, Ansol was somewhat disappointed in him, not because of the rapid increase in Muria’s strength. After all, Muria had fully mastered it after more than two years, showing no outward signs of any issues.

What disappointed Titan father Ansol was that he didn’t sense the temperament of a seasoned warrior in Muria. Instead, he noticed the languishing disposition born from a long period of comfortable life, a result of scrutinizing political affairs for years on end.

This disappointed Ansol. Was being a Titan on a worldly journey so leisurely? Ridiculous! Back in his day, when he journeyed around the world, he always asked who the strongest person was in each place and then sent down a challenge letter.

Roaming the world equates to fighting throughout the world, at least in Ansol’s view. Even though Muria now rules the kingdom and has responsibilities, he should not neglect his martial arts. In contrast, he should use his authority to assemble the strong and spar with them, refining himself.

Therefore, Muria’s comfortable life ended on the day Ansol arrived. As a father disciplining his son, who could intervene?

After the war to extinguish the Medis Kingdom, Muria began his miserable life. It made him clearly see his status, the son of Titan and dragon, he was just a son!

Thanks to Golden Dragon Mother, Ansol was all too familiar with Muria’s experiences in the past few years, and therefore arranged responsive training plans accordingly.

Upon learning that Muria had learned the Clone Technique from inside the Titan Inheritance, Ansol demanded that Muria use all his exclusive weapons to coagulate all his clones.

Then Muria had to assign clones to handle various tasks: reviewing political affairs, suppressing Zor Elves who had instigated riots in the Semi Plane, joining the army to combat demons, and protecting the Lockman Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Muria’s original body was brought into the Abyss, about to be assimilated and swallowed by Erathia, taking over his father’s gift——Endless battles with a Legendary Balrog Flame Demon.

From the day when Muria was taken into the Abyss, he deeply felt the love of his father, Ansol, which was as heavy as a mountain, too profound.

Every day Ansol either watched Muria’s battles with the Balrog Flame Demon or joined in personally, demonstrating combat techniques to Muria, ensuring Muria memorized the experiences he passed on. To put it plainly, it was just a one-sided beating.

“Clang!” A long metallic collision sound echoed, and violent shockwaves swept all around. Scattered fragments were whisked far away, and the ground was overturned.

In Muria’s hand, the Prison Suppression Halberd slashed the Beheading Sword held by the Balrog Flame Demon. The sharp halberd blade broke the heavy sword body, almost splitting the Beheading Sword in half, which made the Balrog Flame Demon very distressed; after all, weapons in the Abyss were extremely precious.

The weapon of the Balrog Flame Demon was naturally formed when it had successfully promoted. It could be considered one of the top weapons in the Abyss, but in Erathia World, even the most destitute legends would not use such inferior weapons.

Apart from being sufficiently tough, heavy enough, and capable of attaching flame attacks, it had almost no advantages. Muria felt that if he was on the same level as the Balrog Flame Demon, he would have already shattered it.

Unfortunately, they were not. Ansol, as a father, liked to overestimate his son’s abilities. At the very least, Muria felt that his combat power had been overestimated; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been matched with an opponent that he almost couldn’t defeat at this stage.

In battles with this Balrog Flame Demon, who was pitiful and dared not use deadly force against him, the only aspect in which Muria did not fall into disadvantage was his physique. In any contest of strength, Muria did not fall short.

As for the remaining aspects, Muria even lost count of how many times he was knocked across the ground by this Major Demon. Dispirited by the monotony of battle, he was reluctant to fight, but under Ansol’s stern gaze, he had to persist.

Time gradually slipped away as Muria endured the monotonous and tedious combat training.

After the appearance of the Titan, there started appearing messages about Demons emerging occasionally in various places across the Nocchio Subcontinent. Nevertheless, news of the deaths of the Demons followed just as quickly.

Not only was the Will of the Abyss mobilizing the Abyss Demons for a retaliatory counterattack, but in Erathia World, due to the formation of the semi planes, legendary powerhouses from other continents came across vast spatial distances to fight for this once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity. Hence, the current density of powerhouses in the Nocchio Subcontinent was surprisingly high.

“There are Legends everywhere, Soul Intent is worthless,” was the best interpretation of the number of powerhouses in the Nocchio Subcontinent now. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not too far off.

Of course, the situation in the Lockman Kingdom was different to an extent. The powerhouses who came from other continents would shy away from this area.

The action of the Titan and the Ancient Dragons uniting to exterminate the Medis Kingdom had announced their existence pompously. The Lockman Kingdom and the surrounding countries were treated as territories of the Titan and the Giant Dragons, and under normal circumstances, no one wanted to offend them.

But there were always some who doubted the Titan’s strength because they had not seen the rare Titans and wanted to challenge the Titan.

The main reason was that they felt that the territories occupied by the Titan and the Metallic Ancient Dragons were too large, and should be divided.
