The bronze cauldron sent Krel flying after the collision and heavily crashed onto the ground with a rumble, causing debris to fly and dust to rise. For a moment, the whole venue was dead silent. No one had expected such an outcome in the fight between the two.Dustin not only withstood the impact of the cauldron head-on but also managed to counter-attack and severely injure Krel. It was simply unbelievable!"Damn, this guy is amazing! He actually kicked around a cauldron weighing 50 thousand pounds like a ball!""Holy shit! He is truly extraordinary to slap away the cauldron with one hand!""We have to admit that we'd completely underestimated him. This guy is definitely not ordinary!"After a brief silence, the venue erupted into an uproar. Everyone was astonished by Dustin's immense power. The cauldron, which wouldn't even budge when they tried to lift it, was being tossed around by him as if it were a toy. It was a truly terrifying sight to behold."No… Impossible… This ca
Krel's strength had multiplied after taking Tigazuril. With one kick, the 50-thousand-pound bronze cauldron flew up into the air like a football, unstoppable.The sudden turn of events caused the expressions of the spectators to change drastically, and they scattered in all directions, afraid of being hit.If hit head-on by a cauldron weighing 50 thousand pounds, coupled with the terrifying impact, one would most likely be crushed into pieces."Holy shit! Who could possibly stop this kick?"The crowd was secretly shocked and filled with dread. They hadn't expected Krel to become so powerful after taking the tablet that he could kick around a 50-thousand-pound cauldron like a ball.His erupting force had reached an unimaginable level."Punk, you're finished this time!" Jimmy said, wearing a vicious grin.Even if Dustin had supernatural abilities, he couldn't possibly withstand the immense impact of the 50-thousand-pound cauldron. He had only two options—surrender and evade or be
"You actually dare to challenge Dustin? Do you have a death wish?" Miles took a couple of steps forward and glared fiercely at Krel and Jimmy, exuding a strong presence. Although Crystal and the others remained silent, they all stood beside Dalen, showing their stance. As Sword Union's disciples, they had no fear of the Boulderthorn.Jimmy exclaimed in anger, "Hey! We're elite disciples of the Boulderthorn. Are you going against us for this random punk?"Dalen said coldly, "Does it matter if we are? Do you think Shadow Citadel is afraid of you?"Miles said loudly, "Not only Shadow Citadel's disciples, but Sword Union's disciples are also ready to stand with Dustin!"Jimmy's expression changed instantly upon hearing his words. "What? You're Sword Union's disciples?" Dealing with the Shadow Citadel alone would be easier as the Boulderthorn wasn't afraid of the Shadow Citadel. However, the situation would be entirely different if the Sword Union was added to the mix.Jimmy i
Krel wasn't confident he'd win against Dustin in a head-on confrontation. However, if Dustin were severely injured by attempting to lift the 100-thousand-pound cauldron, it would turn the situation around completely.He would easily win this gamble and finally vent his pent-up resentment. "Hey, punk! Weren't you going to make me enjoy a feast? Why are you just standing there? Come on! Show some guts, and try lifting it!" Jimmy began taunting Dustin after noticing his inaction. He thought that Dustin was panicking, unsure of how to proceed in the face of the massive object. "There's no need to rush. I'm just considering where you should start from." Dustin assessed the massive cauldron from top to bottom."Hmph! You're all talk!" Jimmy sneered in disdain. "If you really have the skills, stop babbling and let your strength do the talking. As long as you can lift the cauldron, I'll devour it clean in front of everyone!""You must be really hungry." Dustin shook his head with
"Ah… I…" Jimmy was extremely flustered amidst the clamor of the crowd, sweating profusely as he retreated nervously. He had carelessly said those words since he never expected Dustin to lift the 100-thousand-pound cauldron.That was how he found himself in the current predicament, urged by the crowd to eat the massive cauldron. It was made of solid bronze! Even if it were made of chocolate, he would end up stuffing himself to death. "Everyone, what I said earlier was out of line. I spoke words I shouldn't have and have realized my mistake. Please forgive me," Jimmy said, smiling faintly as he clasped his hands together. "You've realized your mistakes? A little too late for that now, don't you think?" Miles glowered at him."To be honest, I preferred your unruly behavior more. This meekness doesn't suit you," Dalen said as he shook his head.They might as well go all out if they were going to humiliate him. "Hmph! Boulderthorn elites, my ass! You're nothing but a bunch
Dustin left. Leaving behind the massive cauldron, he casually walked away. His enigmatic silhouette faded into the distance. It left the crowd wondering if Krel and Melissa got lucky, or if Dustin had done it intentionally. The crowd leaned toward the latter. After all, how could someone capable of lifting a 100-thousand-pound cauldron make such a rookie mistake?"Thank you, Mr. Rhys!" Melissa was both moved and delighted as she watched Dustin's retreating figure. She knew that Krel had been spared. "Dustin, are you really going to just let him off the hook?" Dalen asked as he caught up with Dustin."A frightened coward is no longer a threat," Dustin said with a faint smile. "Besides, he's still a Boulderthorn disciple. Killing him would only bring trouble, and I hate trouble.""I beg to differ. Perhaps you simply have a soft spot for beauty?" Dalen smirked. Had it not been for Melissa's plea and her willingness to give up her life to protect him, Krel would have met his
Vincent's murder weighed heavily on Ruby's mind.She knew that she wasn't stronger than Vincent, so if the assassin could kill Vincent, then it would be just as easy for the assassin to kill her. "We've already discussed our plans for luring the assassin out. Coupled with Dustin's impressive performance during the test, I believe we'll soon get their attention. "Who knows, the assassin might act tonight!" Dalen said in a whisper. "The sun has set. We should start making preparations." Crystal looked up at the sky.Only twilight lingered on the western horizon, and in half an hour, the land would be shrouded in darkness. "Dustin, good luck." Dalen's expression was serious as he continued, "But don't worry, I've contacted Quincy from the Celestial Alliance. He'll fully support our plan. "Once the assassin shows themselves, we'll attack together. We won't let you bear the risk alone.""Don't worry. Since I've agreed to be the bait, I've made preparations accordingly. You jus
"Where's the target? How far are they from the tavern?"Dalen's voice raised a couple of decibels in the earpiece, evidently excited. Besides the elite fighters lying in ambush, there were also numerous scouts lurking around the tavern, with Miles being one of them.If there was any movement, they would be the first to know. "At the entrance to East Alley, about 200 meters away from the tavern," Miles' voice rang out once more, accurately pinpointing the location. "What are they wearing?" Dalen asked. "Looks like they're dressed in black with a mask. It's hard to see clearly from this distance."Since it was already dark, visibility was low, making it difficult to make out the details. "That should be the assassin!" Dalen lowered his voice. "Everyone, listen to my command. Once the assassin gets close enough, we'll surround him immediately and have him apprehended!"After a long, anxious wait, they finally caught sight of the assassin. Dustin glanced outside the wind
