DND Realms: The Rise of the Titan-Dragon Prodigy

Understanding the reason behind the large-scale celebration for him, Muria followed Sofia to continue touring the crystal castle.

"Muria Young Master. Sofia, the head maid."

"Muria Young Master. Sofia, the head maid."

...

Following Sofia to tour the castle, they occasionally encountered dragonkin servants with golden scales on their faces passing by. When they saw Muria and Sofia, they respectfully stood aside and greeted them.

"Sofia, how many dragonkin servants are there in the castle?" Muria asked out of curiosity.

"There are a total of 1,856 dragonkin servants," Sofia answered without hesitation.

"That many?" Muria was surprised.

"The castle is too large; we need so many people."

"Do these dragonkin also do other things? Like guarding or fighting?"

"We dragonkin are only responsible for managing the castle. Other creatures are responsible for guarding the castle."

"What creatures?"

"Please follow me this way, Muria Young Master. You'll know when we get there," Sofia did not answer Muria's question but pointed to a staircase leading upwards.

"By going up there, I can see the creatures guarding this castle?" Muria looked at the golden-haired dragonkin girl.

"Of course."

Hearing a definitive answer, Muria, filled with anticipation, stepped onto the stairs. This magnificent, beautiful, and grand crystal castle built by his golden dragon mother, what kind of creatures were guarding it?

The sunlight was brilliant, causing Muria to squint slightly as he stepped onto a huge platform. A gentle breeze blew, bringing the fresh scent of grass and a faint salty smell of the sea.

Muria looked far into the distance and saw the vast blue ocean stretching endlessly until it merged with the blue sky and white clouds, indistinguishable from each other.

Between the sea and the sky, among the clouds, various seabirds soared freely, occasionally diving into the sea to catch fresh fish before soaring into the sky again. Beneath the sea surface, large sea creatures passed by, casting large, terrifying shadows.

Such a magnificent sea view made Muria momentarily take notice before shifting his gaze because there were more interesting things beside him.

Muria was now on a platform of his golden dragon mother's crystal castle, which was located in the middle of a large island surrounded by mountains. Although these mountains did not obstruct Muria's view, as their height was much lower than his current position, the mountains were beneath his feet.

Standing high allows for a broad view. Muria also saw more islands; the island chosen by the golden dragon mother for the castle was not a solitary island but part of an archipelago. However, the location was somewhat strange; the golden dragon mother chose an island on the edge of the archipelago, not in the center.

Of course, Muria's attention was not on the island itself. Although the island was large and the surrounding ring-shaped mountains were majestic, none of these attracted Muria's gaze.

His attention was entirely focused on the creatures Sofia mentioned were guarding the crystal castle.

For example, right beside Muria now stood a gigantic humanoid creature.

A Cloud Giant with skin color ranging from milky white to sky blue, silver-white hair, bright blue eyes, wearing a white armor adorned with beautiful patterns, and holding a giant scepter, stood about 12 meters tall. To Muria at this time, the Cloud Giant's size was quite imposing.

Of course, as someone with titan blood, Muria was confident that he would surpass and even crush the Cloud Giant in size in the not-too-distant future.

"Hmm?" While Muria looked up at the Cloud Giant, the giant also noticed Muria. This intelligent giant, no less smart than humans, was initially startled and then focused on the golden dragon wings behind Muria.

Then, through these wings and the faint aura emanating from Muria's body, the giant vaguely guessed his identity but was still somewhat uncertain, showing a surprised and indecisive expression.

Next, he saw Sofia, who quietly stood behind Muria. The giant recognized Sofia, the leader of all the dragonkin maids in the castle. In this castle, besides the legendary golden dragon Artelis, only one other esteemed being would have this dragonkin leader standing behind them.

Thus, the giant confirmed Muria's identity, his expression changing again, showing unmasked excitement and admiration.

Muria watched the Cloud Giant before him, who changed his expression several times in a short moment like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and couldn't help but laugh.

But his smile had just appeared on his face when it quickly turned into a look of shock because the giant before him, like toppling mountains and collapsing pillars, placed down his scepter, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head deeply, allowing Muria to see the back of his head.

"Salutations to Muria Iapetos Elonath, Your Highness!"

A voice as loud as thunder came from the kneeling Cloud Giant, filled with fanaticism and boundless admiration and respect.

The huge voice alerted all the patrolling Cloud Giants on the castle, who turned their gaze towards Muria's location. Muria Iapetos Elonath, the name's owner, had been eagerly awaited by them for a full five years, and today, their wishes were fulfilled.

Pair after pair of blue eyes turned towards him, making Muria feel overwhelmed. To be honest, as an ordinary person in his previous life who hadn't seen much of the world, being stared at by nearly a hundred Cloud Giants standing twelve meters tall was a bit too much for him.

What happened next shocked Muria even more. The Cloud Giants guarding the castle called out his name, knelt down one after another like the giant in front of him, bowing their heads deeply, allowing Muria to see a sea of helmeted back heads.

The castle's commotion startled all the creatures on the island, who turned their gaze towards the crystal castle's platform.

Higher in the sky, one Griffin after another dived towards the castle, landing like raindrops. Under their masters, the Cloud Giants' control, they lay prostrate on the ground, saluting Muria.

The castle's huge disturbance also alarmed all the creatures on the island, turning their gaze towards the location of the crystal castle.

Even higher in the sky, a group of Golden Scaled Wyverns dived towards the castle. On nearby islands, Giants shrouded in hurricanes strode towards the castle, and from the surrounding sea, Blue Giants emerged from the water, while groups of Six-Armed Nagas rushed out of the sea, swimming to the shore...

A vast array of creatures, covering land, sea, and air, converged towards the location of the crystal castle built by the golden dragon, all with anticipation in their eyes.

Atop the crystal castle, Muria's expression had completely frozen. He really hadn't expected his appearance to cause such a huge commotion.

Muria, seeking help, looked towards Sofia, who had followed him outside. At this moment, he had no idea what to do.

"Master Muria, please stand there. They have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Please go and accept their worship!" Sofia, not failing Muria's expectations, once again pointed to a location.

Muria followed Sofia's pointing direction, which was a huge observation tower in the center of the castle, the highest point of the castle, and also the most supreme position.

Muria twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that at this moment, he had no room for retreat. He bit his lip and headed towards the highest observation tower.

Outside the castle, on the surrounding ring-shaped mountains and the sloping plains outside the mountains, on the beaches by the sea, and in the waters around the island, a multitude of various creatures stood, covering the sea and mountains.

Cloud Giants, Storm Giants, Mountain Giants, Tide Giants, Wyverns, Griffins, Ferocious Eagles, Ferocious Lions, Ferocious Tigers... All sorts of ferocious beasts, Nagas, Mermaids...

Under the eager gaze of numerous creatures, a slightly chubby humanoid figure appeared on the highest part of the castle, entering the eyes of countless extraordinary beings. He carried a pair of golden wings on his back, and a pair of small horns that many creatures couldn't see on his head, with a long tail swaying restlessly behind him.

Then, starting from the exterior of the crystal castle, a huge cheer erupted, spreading from the castle to the periphery of the island. All the creatures were cheering, initially chaotic, but then the voices became unified, all shouting one name.

"Muria Iapetus Elonsas!"

"Muria Iapetus Elonsas!"

...

Atop the castle's observation tower, that small figure was not tall. Many creatures present were much larger than him.

In the eyes of many creatures that could clearly see that figure, his appearance was also not majestic. The chubby infant-like body lacked any dignity.

But it was this appearance that led many creatures who saw him to lead cheers, sincerely because the appearance of that figure represented the perfect inheritance of the noble bloodlines of Titans and Dragons, exactly as they had hoped.

Because a five-meter-tall giant infant's body was not inferior to a real Titan child of the same age, it could be foreseen that in the future, this figure would possess a physique and strength not inferior to a pure-blood Titan. His form would be incomparably grand.

When he reaches adulthood, inheriting the bloodline of the strongest Metal Dragon, the Golden Dragon, he will also possess unparalleled majesty.

This is why the creatures guarding the castle cheered from their hearts.

At this moment, Muria was completely shocked, feeling a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. But at the same time, a huge question arose in his heart...
