An Understated Dominance Chapter 1955
Upon entering the lush oasis, it felt like stepping into paradise, eliciting smiles on nearly everyone's faces as they ventured further. Grace led the way, with Dustin closely following, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.Despite the seemingly serene environment, hidden dangers lurked beneath the surface and within the trees, taking the form of poisonous creatures. Though currently unseen in the daylight, as night fell, it would be their opportune moment to emerge and hunt."Hey, look over there! What's that?"The excitement in the voice of a Black Scorpion Squad member rang out, drawing everyone's attention as he pointed ahead. As they turned to look, they discovered three fruit trees nestled amidst dense vegetation. The tree branches were laden with vibrant red fruits that glistened like rubies in the sunlight."Are these revitalberries?" someone asked."Revitalberries? The ones that boost cultivation and extend life?""Wow! Look at all these revitalberries! We
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1956
A Black Scorpion Squad member was perched on the tree. He plucked the first revitalberry and reached for the second. Suddenly, his arm spasmed involuntarily in response to the sharp sting. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a red bug on his palm, roughly the size of an ant.The red bug tore through his skin with razor-sharp mandibles and burrowed into his flesh. Panic surged as he tried to swat it away, but his efforts proved futile. In a matter of moments, the red bug had embedded itself deep into his arm, gnawing at his flesh while laying eggs.The intense pain forced the Black Scorpion Squad member to scream, and he fell from the tree. His arm rapidly decayed, swarming with countless red bugs, creating a nightmarish scene."Help! Somebody, please help!" The Black Scorpion Squad member cried out in distress, writhing on the ground. His body seemed to wither before their eyes as if he were turning into a desiccated corpse. In a heartbeat, the once-muscular man transformed i

After tending to the wounds of the injured members of the Black Scorpion Squad, their combat abilities and mobility were severely impacted due to the loss of their arm. Even simple self-defense became a challenge.Grace surveyed the wounded squad members before turning her gaze to Garrett. "Captain Wilder, should I arrange the return of our injured team members?"Since they had just entered the oasis, she could still assist the wounded in returning. Yet, if they opted to press forward, there would be no turning back."Captain, we're fine! Just lost an arm, no big deal!""Yeah, we've faced worse. This injury means nothing to us.""Captain, trust us. We can pull off the mission without a hitch!"Facing the prospect of returning, the injured members of the Black Scorpion Squad reassured Garrett promptly. They understood that going back meant giving up the treasures the others would obtain in the oasis.Although the mission promised a good reward, dividing it among the team didn

On the camp's outskirts, two elite squads stood watch with their eyes fixed on the darkness ahead. The distant roars of approaching creatures echoed, accompanied by the rumble of their thunderous run. Everyone in the camp had assembled, prepared to face the unknown threat."Protect Ms. Linsor!" The captain of the royal guard quickly assembled his men when he saw Grace step forward. They formed a protective circle around her as a precaution."Draw your swords!" Excitement and nervous anticipation mixed within Jackson as he directed the disciples of the Embersteel Order to form a defensive stance. While sparring in the martial world was familiar, facing a creature was entirely new and anxiety-inducing."Stay sharp and adapt to the situation," Garrett urged.The Black Scorpion Squad took a strategic position at the back. Despite their diverse skills, their combat strength fell short compared to the Embersteel Order disciples."Making a fuss over nothing." Aidan leaned casually ag

"Mr. Ridge, since you're determined, I won't insist further," Jackson conceded as his advice went ignored.He knew that revealing these unknown creatures would create chaos once they were taken outside the oasis. However, the outcome remained uncertain.Suddenly, Aidan turned to Grace. "Little Miss, I've got a plan to catch this critter alive. Can I borrow your Dragon Rope?"Despite having enough skills to handle the creature, the real challenge was capturing and taming it. Understanding that regular ropes wouldn't work against such a strong beast, Aidan realized that only the Dragon Rope could do the job."Since you've asked, I won't say no," Grace said. She signaled to the captain of the royal guard to get the Dragon Rope. Once he returned, she handed it to Aidan.Aidan's mood improved as he took the Dragon Rope. "Thank you, I really appreciate it. Remember, if you ever run into any trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to me!" Just as he was about to approach the creature, a

Dustin smirked at Aidan. "Well, that Dragon Rope of yours seems pretty useless now, huh?"The rope, initially effective in restraining the panther-like creature, proved useless against the formidable brown giant python. In simpler terms, it couldn't even be used on the giant python.Aidan's irritation grew as he spoke, "This devilish creature killed my mount. It must be dealt with." As he prepared to face the brown giant python, an unexpected twist unfolded.Suddenly, a massive shadow swept across the sky, casting everything into darkness. A breathtaking black eagle materialized, its body a marvel of obsidian beauty, and its feathers gleamed like polished steel.When it spread its wings, they stretched over 30 feet, resembling a commercial airplane at a glance. The eagle dove from the sky, reaching an incredible speed and covering several hundred feet in the blink of an eye.As it descended, the gusts of wind caused trees to topple as sand and stones scattered around. The wind

A minor miscalculation could result in a fatal outcome. The earlier series of struggles vividly illustrated the ruthless nature prevailing in the untamed jungle."Wow, can you believe that giant python got taken down so easily?""Yeah, it was a powerful python, but it ran into its natural predator.""That's pretty scary! If even a strong python can be defeated so quickly, are we in even more danger?"Staring at the wreckage scattered around them, the group felt a mix of shock and unease. The place exuded brutality and danger, leaving them on edge. The fear of becoming prey to the exotic beasts lurking around loomed large, with a high chance of meeting a sudden demise. It finally dawned on them why Ryan had succumbed to madness. Facing such a dangerous and horrifying environment would be daunting for anyone, and it was still early in the night. The looming uncertainty of whether more creatures would emerge in the later hours only added to their apprehension."Looks like thi

"H-Hey?" the man stammered.His jaw dropped as he watched the man in yellow getting skewered by those vines. In a daze, he stood frozen, unable to grasp the sudden death of someone lively who was just talking moments ago.Rhythmic drips filled the air as the vines hoisted the lifeless body, letting fresh blood spill out and eagerly devour the body. Before their eyes, the once withered vines transformed into a more nourished and glossy look with a faint crimson hue accentuating its surface.As the vines greedily absorbed the fresh blood, the man in yellow underwent a swift and noticeable transformation. His once vital body rapidly withered, leaving behind nothing but a desiccated corpse."Help! Somebody, help! Monsters!"Finally, the other man snapped out of his stupor. He started yelling and desperately tried to escape, not even caring about the weapon he had dropped.As he turned to run, a vine shot up from the ground. Swift as lightning, it speared through the man's head li

Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

"How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap

Willem's wings, black as night with a metallic sheen, erupted from his back. Fully extended, they stretched over 30 feet. With a gentle flap, a storm of wind and eerie howls swept through the air. The sheer force was intimidating to behold.His appearance had also undergone a drastic transformation. Willem's once-handsome face was now gaunt, his skin wrinkled, and his cheekbones jutted out. Fangs protruded from his mouth, and two sharp horns sprouted from his head. He had grown taller, but his body was unnaturally thin, with his ribs and sternum visible beneath his skin. From a distance, he looked like a towering, monstrous skeleton. It was an unsettling sight that sent a chill down anyone's spine.This was Willem's ultimate form. After the transformation, his speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were greatly enhanced. His thirst for blood grew even more intense, turning him into a bloodthirsty demon.The gods, who had expressed dissatisfaction moments ago, now stood paralyzed
