He wasn't one to take advantage of those who were outnumbered."Fuck you, Sheaves!" Weston roared.He was ultimately defeated by a stab that Magnus delivered straight to his chest. He slumped to the ground.Within minutes, the Desert Hawks were wiped clean. None one of them survived."How dare a gang of bandits challenge us? Insolent bastards!" Magnus huffed and flicked his sword to the side, raining drops of blood to the ground."Hey! Why didn't Azure Mist join in the fight earlier on?"Drake turned and saw Nathan and the rest of them standing where they stood earlier. They were clean, with not a single drop of blood on them. It was clear that they had not joined the fight."Two major guilds are enough to deal with the Desert Hawks. There was no need for us to get involved," Nathan explained calmly.Though he was only stating the fact, it sounded to the rest of them like he was trying to act nobler than them."You did nothing and simply watched as we killed them. Are you tr

Drake's head fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone was shocked. No one had expected Magnus to pull such a dirty trick.He was smiling and agreeing to an alliance just seconds ago. But now, he had chopped Drake's head off. He was plain evil!"Drake!" After they got over the shock, the Ironfists disciples were angered. Before they could even react, the Skycrane disciples began attacking. Following their shrieks, most of the Ironfists disciples were defeated within seconds. As for the remaining, Magnus and his men surrounded and killed them off. They did not stand a chance against Magnus.The Azure Mist had their guards up when they saw how ruthless the Skycrane disciples were. They pulled their swords out, waiting to see what they would do next."Magnus! I never thought you'd be so despicable to attack someone sneakily!" Nathan's brows furrowed.Skycrane was supposed to be a decent guild. How could Magnus resort to such underhanded tactics? It was shameless!"Haha! What

"Nathan won't hold up for much longer." Dustin could finally hold it in no more.But what was meant as a warning received a lot of retorts from the Azure Mist disciples."That's nonsense! Nathan is extremely skilled, and his swordsmanship is incredible! How could he possibly be defeated?""Exactly! Please look closely! Nathan is winning!""Hmph! Why are you on the opponent's side and belittling Nathan? If you don't know what's happening, keep your nonsense to yourself!"They shouted at Dustin.Everyone could see that Nathan was overpowering Magnus! It wouldn't take much longer for him to win the battle!But not only was Dustin not cheering Nathan on, he was even belittling him? How annoying!"You probably don't know Nathan well, Dustin."Vanessa proudly explained, "Nathan's so skillful that he's considered one of the top three in the younger generation of Lester martial artists. "He's earned himself the nickname of the Little Dragon and has defeated many reputable martial ar
An Understated Dominance Chapter 976
"How is that possible?"Seeing all the disciples of Azure Mist lying on the ground and throwing up blood, Emily and Vanessa exchanged looks of horror.They had been standing at the back of the group, so they had not rushed up in time to help Nathan.What they saw was terrifying. More than ten elite disciples of Azure Mist were sent flying by a single slash of Magnus' sword.His strength was horrifying!"How dare you bunch of trash attempt to challenge me? You're just wasting your efforts!"Magnus pointed at them with his sword. He was looking down on them.He had only engaged in Nathan's challenge for fun. Now that he had his fun, it was time he ended things."As expected of Magnus. His skills are out of this world!""Hah! How dare a second-grade guild go against us? They were asking for it!"The Skycrane disciples laughed among themselves. The treasure was theirs now that they had defeated the Azure Mist."Magnus! Those girls with them are beautiful! "It'd be a pity to ki

"Hey, you! I'll let you live if you can withstand three of my attacks!" Magnus taunted as he lifted his sword."Is that so? I'd like to see how great your skills are." Dustin's expression remained impassive as he went forward calmly."Dustin!" Emily grabbed his wrist. "Magnus is much stronger than us. You can't possibly win against him. You better run for your life!""That's right, Dustin! The guy is terrifying! You're no match for him!" Vanessa tried to persuade him against it, too."Rhys! Stop making things worse! Bring Emily and the rest away from here now! "You can't handle the situation here!" Nathan shouted at him."Exactly! Even Nathan can't win against Magnus! Do you think you can? Run while you can!"The disciples of Azure Mist yelled at him to run away. Though they didn't particularly like him, they didn't wish to see him dead."Don't worry. It's just Magnus. I'm not afraid of him." Dustin was calm like there was nothing to be anxious about. He walked forward.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 978
Everyone was silent when they saw Magnus explode into pieces.They stood there frozen in place with absolute horror on their faces. They looked like they'd seen a ghost. Many of them even wondered if they were dreaming. If this wasn't a dream, how can such a thing happen?That was Magnus, the lead disciple of Skycrane and a genius swordmaster from Yuston. He was strong enough to defeat all the disciples of Azure Mist single-handedly. How could a nobody like Dustin overpower someone of that level?No, he wasn't even overpowered. Dustin's punch shattered him on the spot.Just a single punch from him had shattered both Magnus and his sword. He had been so thoroughly destroyed that nothing remained.Was he even human? He must be a monster!"How—how could this be? Magnus—died?"Looking at all the blood on the ground, the disciples of Skycrane looked defeated. They trembled, and their eyes were filled with shock.It was hard for them to accept that Magnus, a genius swordmaster an

A large crater in the shape of a palm was formed on the ground.The Skycrane disciples were buried in the soil and gravel in the crater. Some of them were severely wounded, while others died on the spot.All it took was one palm strike from him, and almost all the Skycrane disciples were wiped out. It was a truly powerful attack!"Master Chasey!"Upon seeing the elderly person, the Azure Mist disciples' spirits were uplifted. They gathered around eagerly as if they had met their leader.The elderly man was none other than Walter Chasey, the leader of Azure Mist!"Dad! You're here! We almost died!"Vanessa ran up to him with red-rimmed eyes. She looked like she was close to tears."Oh, you! You refused to train when I asked you to. Now you know fear in the face of danger!"Walter stood with his hands behind his back as he lectured Vanessa with a stern expression."Dad! They were too powerful! Even Nathan was no match for them. What could I do?"Vanessa pouted, looking hurt.
An Understated Dominance Chapter 980
With how Walter tried to pick a fight with him, Dustin started running out of patience. It was his choice to choose a mentor and whether or not to learn from him. How could it be forced on someone? Besides, Walter was just halfway to becoming a grandmaster. How could he be qualified to be Dustin's mentor?"Master Chasey, your skills are exceptional. Dustin would never look down on you. Maybe he just needs some time to consider things. "Once he sees just how amazing you are, he'll come to appreciate the offer." Emily quickly tried to smooth things over when she saw things getting ugly."That's right, Dad! The matter of importance now is not getting yourself a disciple. "Let's not get distracted from the treasure," Vanessa tried to change the subject.Though it was a pity, she did not wish to force Dustin into things. It would not be worth it to go overboard and ruin their relationship."I'll give you three days to consider the offer, boy. If you change your mind within three

"This is interesting." Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant—some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water."What? He dodged it?" Warrick's eyes flickered with surprise.Mulder's attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge—only the option to endure. He couldn't understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it. Did he just teleport?"Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face."Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he'd collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touche

"Oh? Are we going all out now?" Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.As the serum's effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface."D

Dustin's words made Mulder frown.Mulder knew all too well that Warrick was the kind of man who had no sense of loyalty or honor. If Warrick could kill his own personal guards without hesitation, what would stop him from killing a stranger? Mulder was certain that the moment things went south, Warrick would be the first to flee. Given the choice, he'd never willingly risk his life as Warrick's sacrificial pawn. But now, there was no turning back.With his undercover identity exposed and him helping Warrick escape, Mulder became a sworn enemy of West Lucozia. His name was now on the most-wanted list.Tonight was their best chance to escape. If they missed it, finding another way out would be nearly impossible.There was only one path left for him—kill whoever stood in his way and make it onto that escape boat."Enough talk, punk. Let's see what you're really made of," Mulder said.After weighing his options, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to draw his longsword. His fig

"You had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next," Dustin said.With a slight squeeze of his fingers, the steel blades clamped between them shattered with a sharp clang.Before the two Hall of Gods members could even react, Dustin waved his hand.The two men were sent flying as if they'd been hit by a truck, hurtling over 30 feet through the air. Blood sprayed from their mouths and noses before they hit the ground. They were critically injured and on the verge of death.Dustin slowly turned his head and looked at the man who had just tried to ambush him.The man glanced at the broken sword in his hand, then at Dustin, who looked utterly unfazed. He hesitated for a split second—then bolted.With a powerful leap, he dove straight for the sea. He knew Dustin's strength was on a completely different level. There was no chance of outrunning him on land, so the only hope was to disappear into the water.It might have worked—if not for what happened next.Just before he hit

"You're not a fisherman? Who the hell are you?"Mulder's guard shot up the moment he got a clear look at the young man's face.Fishermen who spent their days at sea were usually tanned from the sun, but this one had a fair complexion. It felt a little strangeNoticing something was off, the men behind Mulder drew their blades and fixed their sharp gazes on the fisherman.The so-called fisherman standing guard wasn't just anyone—it was Dustin, who had been waiting for them all along.Since his plan was set in motion, he'd been stationed there from morning until midnight. After what felt like an eternity, his targets had finally arrived."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to capture you."Dustin rose from the deck and rolled his shoulders before speaking in an even tone. "If you don't want to die, surrender now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.""Watch out! It could be an ambush." Mulder swiftly pulled out his dagger. His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings for any sign of hidden troops.

As night fell, Warrick sat motionless in his room as he tried to calm his mind through meditation. He had always been able to clear his mind with ease. But tonight, no matter how hard he tried, focus eluded him. A restless unease settled over him and refused to let him relax.Nearly two hours passed before Mulder's scouts finally returned. This time, they brought good news.The smuggling route they had scouted was completely safe, with no signs of an ambush. The West Lucozia army had yet to discover this potential escape route.Once everything was confirmed, Mulder let out a breath of relief. Warrick, too, finally felt the weight lift from his chest."Since the route is safe, we should set out immediately to avoid any unexpected complications." Warrick said. He had no intention of waiting any longer. He was a wanted man, and every moment in West Lucozia increased his chances of capture. There was no telling when the army might surround him. Only by escaping to Thaloria would he

After a hearty meal, the burly Warrick sprawled lazily onto the bed and dozed off. He slept soundly till dusk, lost in a deep dream. When the sky was painted in brilliant hues of the setting sun, only then did he wake up leisurely.The exhaustion from the previous day seemed to have melted away. He felt invigorated, refreshed, and in high spirits.At that moment, Leigh had already set the table in the hall with quiet efficiency. Compared to the first meal, this spread was far more lavish.At the center of the table sat a whole roasted pig. Its golden-brown skin glistened with a rich, crispy sheen. The mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making it impossible not to crave a bite.Warrick had never been one for formalities. The moment he saw the feast, he didn't hesitate. He strode over, took a seat, and started digging in. He ate with zero restraint without sparing a single thought for Mulder, who was still out gathering intel.After a while, half of the roast pig was gone. His fac

"Who is it?" Warrick's grip tightened around the hilt of his steel blade. His eyes, sharp and alert, were like those of a startled predator—full of caution and menace.For the past few days, he had been on edge, like a cornered animal. He barely slept and was constantly on high alert, fearing danger would strike at any moment.The door slowly creaked open. An elderly man with gray hair stepped inside with a tray of fruit and pastries in both hands.Before he could even register what was happening, a flash of cold steel appeared, and Warrick's blade was at the elderly man's throat.The elderly man trembled with fear. The tray slipped from his grasp, and fruit and pastries scattered on the floor."Easy, Sir Prescott. He's one of us." Mulder stepped forward and pressed down on the flat of Warrick's blade with a finger. He smiled and explained, "His name's Leigh Houston. He's mute and has served the Hall of Gods for years. He keeps watch over this tunnel entrance and has never slipp

"Here's the problem—even if we know Warrick's intentions, how do we stop him?" Austin asked.Right now, Warrick had already disappeared without a trace. Austin's team hadn't even come close enough to get a hold of him, so there was no way to track him down.West Lucozia's vast territory and resources made it impossible to seal off every exit route completely. While it might be manageable in the short term, prolonging such an operation would significantly impact West Lucozia's economy. Wasting resources on a single fugitive wasn't a wise move."Warrick is a wanted man across the entire city. There's no way he's leaving through official channels. He'll have to sneak his way out," Dustin analyzed. He continued, "According to the maritime charts, if he's traveling from West Lucozia to Artea, he'll have to go through Thaloria. That's our lead. Get someone on it immediately—find out how many smuggling routes there are from West Lucozia to Thaloria.""Got it. I'll get it done right away
