An Understated Dominance Chapter 2143
"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

Dustin saw a masked man in black with a sword in both hands as he walked up the stairs slowly. "Are you Dustin?" the man in black grunted. "That's me." Dustin nodded. "You had a pretty good plan to lure us out, but unfortunately, we saw right through it."The man in black sneered. "You're all alone now without any help. Only death awaits you.""Likewise. You may not necessarily gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight against me," Dustin remarked flatly. "Who said I'm going to fight you alone?" The man in black chuckled before clapping twice. As soon as the claps rang out, two figures suddenly leaped through the windows on either side. Two more masked assassins dressed in black had appeared. The three of them stood in formation. They weren't only dressed the same but were also similar in height and build, making it difficult to distinguish between them. "Three against one. We have the advantage now." The man in black in the middle smirked. "Who exactly are you? W

Dustin didn't dodge when the three assassins attacked him. He simply lifted his foot and lightly stomped the ground.A dull thud resounded as his foot left a deep imprint in the ground.At the same time, a surge of powerful energy burst forth from his body, and it quickly formed a translucent protective shield in front of him.The three assassins swung their swords, but they struck the shield instead. A low hum filled the air, accompanied by a deep rumble.Despite their relentless efforts, the assassins couldn't breach the shield. All they managed to do was push it back by a mere three inches.Dustin's protective shield was as strong as steel wire mesh. Even when swords pierced and bent it, it remained intact."What?" The man in black's face went white when he saw his attacks weren't working.After taking a miracle cure earlier, he reached the level of grandmaster. Armed with a shadowsteel sword, he was accompanied by two elites halfway to becoming grandmasters.The man in bl

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
