An Understated Dominance Chapter 1637
"Traitor?" Dustin raised an eyebrow at the unexpected revelation. Although a similar notion had crossed his path before, the urgency in Donovan's voice gave the matter newfound significance."Abbot Lumen …" Dustin pressed, "Who's this supposed traitor?""The culprit is none other than General Reston Rever, a key figure under your father's command," Donovan disclosed."Uncle Reston? That can't be right! Didn't he sacrifice himself?" Dustin's face displayed disbelief.Reston Rever, a loyal general in his father's service, stood as a brother-in-arms, sharing the trials of life and death. A decade ago, Reston, who led the guard during their arrival in the capital, successfully foiled numerous assassination attempts. His bravery became even more evident during the Aylka Rebellion when he courageously guided Dustin and Alba out of the city, eventually sacrificing himself in a heroic act.How could someone so gallant and virtuous turn out to be a traitor?"When I first got wind of t

The round-faced monk was interrupted by Donovan's raised hand. "No need for more words. Just go," Donovan said."Yes." The round-faced monk shot Dustin a glare and left in a hurry."Edvan, take Mr. Rhys to the back of the mountain. Make sure to protect his safety," Donovan added."Abbot, what about you?" The monk in the yellow robe furrowed his brow in concern. Before becoming a monk, he served as the commander of the Prince of Carsonne's guards. He had never left the prince's side. Now, he was reluctant to leave the abbot and escort a stranger down the mountain."With Fedrick and Clarick here, I won't be in danger. You two, go quickly. Don't delay," Donovan instructed."Yes," Edvan said nothing more, immediately leading Dustin out the door. Before leaving, Dustin glanced back at Donovan, who had once again entered a state of meditation, continuing his recitation."Mr. Rhys, this way, please," Edvan led Dustin into the monastery's backyard, opened a hidden door, and went in f

A resounding crash echoed as the stone door descended, deepening Dustin's furrowed brows. It wasn't fear that gripped him but the sheer displeasure at Edvan's actions. Entrusted by the Prince of Carsonne to ensure Dustin's safe descent, Edvan had instead led Dustin into a well-prepared ambush. It was a betrayal far more infuriating than mere bystander apathy."Logan, no need to look around. This place is no man's land—no savior will come for you. Today marks the end for you!" A masked man with a wolf's head confidently stepped forward, his voice projecting loudly."Anders," Dustin replied coldly, "Hiding behind a mask, are you too ashamed to show your face?"At these words, the man behind the wolf-head mask hesitated for a moment, then erupted into a boisterous laugh. Rather than denying it, he casually removed the mask, unveiling his true identity. It was Anders. "Surprisingly, you have a keen eye, spotting my disguise," Anders expressed his surprise. He hadn't anticipated Dust

Grandmaster martial artists skillfully hid within the assembly, discreetly blending in with Anders and his formidable Fang Legion. The ambush was nothing short of imposing."Logan, think this is the end? Bit too optimistic." Anders sneered and shook his head. "Truth is, we've prepared for the worst. What you see here is just the tip of the iceberg. More skilled warriors are on their way. Even if you have supernatural powers, today is your judgment day!"The assembled group appeared to be sufficient for Dustin. However, a lingering unease persisted—the potential for enemy reinforcements. Maintaining vigilance was, as it had always been, a wise decision."Anders, is Moseys Mansion also a puppet for the Dragon Guard?" Dustin questioned."It's an honor to serve the Dragon Guard. Unfortunately, it's your misfortune," Anders replied candidly. "You had the option to play dead and live a quiet life. But by delving into the truth of the past, your existence is now a threat and must be elimi

"Up for the challenge to reach the end? Go ahead, take a spin," Dustin remarked, his face impassive and his gaze indifferent."Hmph! Foolish thing that doesn't know its place, I'll teach you the might of the Nexus Dominator Fist today!" Brock snorted, poised to strike, when another voice interrupted."Hold on!"Within the Stormfire Order, Silver Sage, in elegant attire, exuding an otherworldly presence, took a couple of steps forward and announced, "Master Brock, your strength is commendable, but you're not Logan's match. This situation is more complex than it appears. Allow me to handle it for you."The mission to defeat Logan was a confidential order from the Dragon Guard, and the one who achieved the first victory would receive significant rewards. Such opportunities were not to be missed."Master Elias, your words sound like you're underestimating me," Brock furrowed his brow, displeased. "The Nexus Gate has its reputation, and if I can't handle this kid, I might as well shut

"Where's Master Brock? What just happened? He was here a moment ago.""Weird, he vanished in the blink of an eye.""Could he have tunneled underground? Does Master Brock have some mystical tricks up his sleeve?"The crowd looked around, engrossed in their discussions, completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation. They found it perplexing—Brock, who had been commanding respect just moments ago, had suddenly disappeared."Where's our leader? Where did he go?""Master! Master!" Disciples and elders of Nexus Gate shouted, trying to find their master, but their calls went unanswered.Only a few individuals from various sects understood the grim reality."No need to shout. Your master is already dead," Silver Sage said with a heavy tone.While others were in the dark, being a grandmaster martial artist, he saw it clearly. After the clash of fists, Master Brock's body exploded like an inflated balloon, leaving no trace behind."Dead? How is that possible?""Master Elias, d

In a relentless assault, a storm of poisonous needles and darts rained down on Dustin. It resembled a furious storm."Formation!" Silver Sage bellowed. In an instant, several aces of the Stormfire Order scattered, forming a tight encirclement around Dustin. Each of them clutched a golden talisman that materialized seemingly out of thin air."Golden Alchemy Sword! Attack!" Silver Sage commanded, tossing his golden talisman into the fray. Simultaneously, the other aces mimicked the motion. Five golden talismans transformed into colossal swords, homing in on Dustin from various angles.Without any prior warning, the talismans, appearing almost weightless, burst forth into a dazzling light. They underwent a transformation, morphing into five massive golden swords that exuded a chilling brilliance, sharp enough to slice through iron as if it were clay effortlessly.Radiating a terrifying killing intent, even a grandmaster martial artist would hesitate before confronting them.The S

Dustin stood his ground as he gazed at the five flaming giant swords descending from the sky. Instead of dodging, he calmly raised his palm and struck upward lightly."Boom!"A powerful surge of energy was unleashed from the center of his palm, engulfing the giant flaming swords.With five explosive sounds, they burst apart simultaneously, resembling fireworks as they scattered into the sky."What? How can this be?" The Silver Sage was taken aback. The other elite martial artists of the Stormfire Order were equally shocked and exchanged stunned glances.The explosive power and destructive force of the Emberstrike Saber far surpassed that of the Golden Alchemy Sword, and they had unleashed it with full force, not holding back whatsoever.They had expected Dustin to suffer severe injuries even if he managed to withstand the onslaught. Instead, Dustin emerged unscathed and effortlessly dismantled the Emberstrike Saber with just one move.It was truly unbelievable!"Keep the form

Axel swallowed hard, shock written all over his face. He had always known the Draken Guardians were formidable, but he had never expected them to be this lethal.He had pushed himself to his limit just to hold his own against Connor and Dave, only to end up seriously wounded. Yet, when the Draken Guardians arrived, they wiped them out—along with several dozen Red Legion soldiers—without losing a single man.If Axel hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Legion, a force renowned for its elite soldiers, could be so easily crushed. Or perhaps it wasn't that the Red Legion was weak, but that the Draken Guardians were far stronger than anyone had imagined.Even their most ordinary members were strong enough to become a mighty general. As for those at the level of captain, their strength was far beyond Axel's. The lethality of a team made up of such skilled experts had reached the point of being an overwhelming force."Mr. Cruz, please arrange some

"Damn it! This punk's tougher than I thought. We're in real trouble if this keeps up," Connor said, swinging his twin blades relentlessly. Every strike was aimed at Axel's vital points.But Axel was quick. He weaved in and out of reach and avoided direct confrontation. It was obvious he was just stalling for time."Sir Prescott should be far enough by now. There's no point dragging this out. Let's fall back."Sensing the futility of their efforts, Dave considered retreating. He didn't fear death, but he wasn't about to waste his life for nothing.Since Warrick had escaped, their interception mission was also completed."You guys hold him off. The rest of you, fall back with me."Connor was decisive. Realizing they weren't making any progress, he quickly ordered a retreat and left a few decoys behind to buy time.They had barely run a hundred yards when a wave of soldiers suddenly appeared at the alley's entrance. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, filled the narrow space and comple

"This punk's a real pain in the ass!"Connor glanced over his shoulder and noticed Axel was still hot on their trail.The squad he had sent to intercept Axel was completely outmaneuvered, and they couldn't get anywhere near him.To Connor's dismay, Axel kept shooting off signal flares as he pursued them. Each flare gave away their position. At this rate, it didn't matter which direction they ran—they were bound to be intercepted."Connor! Dave! Make a move and swat that damn fly," Warrick ordered decisively."If we leave, who's going to protect you?" Connor hesitated.Warrick was in bad shape. Without them guarding him, a single attack from an expert could be fatal."If you don't take out that fly, I'll be in even more danger. Get moving now!" Warrick snapped."Yes, sir!"Connor and Dave exchanged a glance before splitting up with their squads to surround Axel.They both knew what was at stake. If they didn't take Axel down quickly, their entire force would be stranded and do

"Kill them all!"At Warrick's command, the Red Legion charged without hesitation. Blades flashed as they stormed toward the elite enforcement unit.This time, nearly a thousand Red Legion soldiers arrived. With their sheer numbers, they launched a pincer attack from both flanks, leaving the enemy with no way to fend it off."Form the Shield Formation!" Axel shouted upon seeing the dire situation. His men immediately sheathed their blades and raised their shields to form a defensive line. Their pursuit had cut them off from the main force. Since they were up against an enemy ten times their size, forming a defensive line was their best option.If they could stall for even a moment, reinforcements from the castle would arrive, and the tide would turn in their favor. Once that happened, the thousand-strong Red Legion would be the ones on the defensive.After a brief charge, the two forces collided.Warrick had personally trained the Red Legion. He selected only the most loyal and

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again."Get over here! We have to keep him restrained."As the net strained under Warrick's sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn't faring well. Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.Against Warrick's Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn't stand a

If Warrick had been at his peak, Axel might have been more cautious. But with Tranqurin coursing through his vein, Warrick had barely a fraction of his usual strength left. His power was still fading, and Axel wasn't about to waste the opportunity. He had to capture Warrick while he had the chance."Get the hell out of my way!"As the enforcers closed in, Warrick let out a furious roar and slammed his massive fist into the floor.With a loud explosion, the earth shook violently. The ground within dozens of yards cracked and caved in, splitting apart like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave tore through the air, sending dirt flying and walls shattering. The entire meeting room collapsed into ruins.The elite enforcers, caught in the blast, were flung backward like ragdolls. They crashed to the ground, disoriented and battered. Even Axel was thrown back more than ten yards.Warrick panted heavily, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Forcing his internal energy into action had only

Austin's words were strong and commanding, each one landing like a thunderclap.Warrick felt the weight of his presence. His brow furrowed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the so-called evidence on the floor, showing no sign of panic or guilt. Instead, he said indifferently, "Your Highness, these dead men were nothing more than ants. Is this really worth making such a fuss over? I doubt you haven't killed anyone before."As the old saying went, the higher one climbed, the heavier one's purse. Warrick had clawed his way up, risking his life at every step for the sake of rising above the masses. Everyone had their own desires—some sought fame, others fortune. Some were greedy for money, some for power, and others reveled in the adoration of the masses. To achieve those things, one inevitably had to engage in shady dealings. It was an unspoken rule among officials, and Warrick saw nothing wrong with it."Ants?" Austin sneered. "Without these 'ant

The ashen-faced Huxley was dragged away. With his crimes exposed, his fate was sealed. His entire family would be implicated, and their assets would be seized.Those guilty would be punished, and even those who had merely benefited from his corruption would be held accountable. To put it bluntly, Huxley's entire family was about to be annihilated.Austin issued his next order once the bloodstains were cleaned up. "Axel, it's time to bring in the mastermind."With Huxley dealt with, the next step was to confront Warrick. Unlike Huxley, Warrick wouldn't be easy to deal with. After all, he commanded a large number of troops. If backed into a corner, he could become a major threat."Understood!" Axel responded respectfully, then turned to his subordinates. "Gather more men and come with me."Warrick had earned his prestigious position through years of fierce battles. On the battlefield, he was a one-man army, a warrior capable of taking on thousands. His strength was beyond what mos

"You bastard! With all this evidence in front of you, what do you have to say for yourself?" Austin barked."Your Highness, please let me explain…" Huxley broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling with panic."This is a lie. Someone's trying to frame me! I've always followed the law—how could I possibly be involved in something so vile?""The evidence is right in front of you, and you're still trying to weasel out of it?" Austin shot back. "Looks like you won't confess until death is knocking at your door."He raised his hand and ordered, "Guards, throw him into Grimhold Keep. Use whatever means necessary—let's see how long he keeps up this act.""Yes, Your Highness."A squad of enforcement team members rushed in and surrounded Huxley.Cornered, Huxley finally lost his nerve. He dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, "Your Highness, I admit I made a grave mistake."His voice cracked as he continued, "I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please, for the sake of my y
