Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 46: Ambush!
Lucian closed his eyes, as he calmed himself.
At least the Nine Revolution Dragon Spear wasn’t a victim of the system’s scam other wise, Lucian might as well give up and go home.
He grabbed the now silver color treasure chest and chose to immediately open it. he wanted to see his luck in opening treasure chest.
[Silver Treasure Chest Opening...]
The air before him shimmered, and the chest opened with a soft click, a silver light spilling forth.
[Silver Treasure Chest Opened!]

Lucian immediately wore it Though not as impressive as a legendary item might have been, Lucian could immediately feel the difference in his movements as he took a few steps to test the boots.
"Not bad for a silver chest," he mused, feeling a bit better for the increased mobility that would complement his new spear technique.
"Status," Lucian commanded, curious to see how his attributes had changed after the rerolls.

Lucian noted that he had 9 reroll chances remaining, but the trade-off was more than worth it.
His strength had increased significantly due to the passive boost from his new Celestial Adamantine Body talent. Combined with the mythic dragon technique and the mobility enhancement from his new boots, he was now far more formidable than before.
Lucian turned his gaze toward a direction. In that direction, the place was incredibly silent and an enormous aura could be felt there with his perception.
He immediately knew that that was where the Attack Titan resided.
Knowing how troublesome the fight would be, Lucian immediately sat cross-legged the making of blood shadows already drained his mana, he needed to replenish some of his mana for the battle to come.
…
An hour and a half later, Lucian stood amidst his Blood Shadows, terrifying beings blood bound to his will through the blood mana skill.
The battlefield around them was the exact depiction of destruction! Bone fragments scattered across the crater filled earth, steam still rising from fissures and cracks that filled the ground, the scent of blood and ash heavy in the air.
"Rise," he commanded, his voice resounding through the desolate land.
The Blood Shadows rose in perfect unison, their massive forms casting long shadows in the ray of crimson light.
Lucian’s lips curved into a smile as he surveyed his growing army. "Haha, good, good."
He jumped on one of the Titan’s shoulder and commanded. "Now, let’s go."
Without hesitation, his Blood Shadows formed a protective formation around him. Baltzer took point, hammer resting on his shoulder, while the behemoth Blood Shadow Titan brought up the rear, its massive form dwarfing even the other titans.
As they began their march, the ground trembled beneath the weight of the titan’s feet moving in unison. Each step sent ripples through the earth, creating a rhythm like that of a war drum.
The landscape gradually changed as they moved northward. The flat, bloodstained field turned increasingly rocky. Massive boulders dotted the path, some as large as houses, others balanced atop one another like the toys of ancient giants.
Lucian’s perception tingled. Something was different about these formations—too regular, too intentional to be natural. His eyes narrowed as he studied the pattern of stones.
"This is a pathway," he muttered, as his brows furrowed.
"Someone arranged these stones."
The pathway led them through a narrow valley, with walls of stone rising hundreds of meters on either side.
The formation naturally funneled them forward, and Lucian could feel the mana concentration growing stronger with each step.
"HSSSSS!"
Baltzer suddenly froze, its lizard tongue flicking out to taste the air. Its posture shifted, muscles tensing as it gripped its hammer more tightly.
The other Blood Shadows reacted immediately, forming a tighter circle around Lucian as they sensed the same disturbance.
Lucian closed his eyes, extending his perception outward. The mana in the air had changed dramatically, it was more thicker, more charged with potential energy when thunder is about to strike.
Then he felt prickling sensation at the back of his neck like needles poking his skin.
In that instant, the ground beneath them began to shake. This wasn’t the footstep of titans moving but the sound of the ground rumbling and shaking itself!
With a deafening crack, the stone floor of the valley split open. Massive fissures spread outward like spider webs, forcing Lucian’s Blood Shadows to leap aside to avoid falling into the growing chasms.
"ROOOOAR!"
Baltzer’s angry roar tire through the chaos as massive titanic hands ripped through the grounds like demons from hell!
