After stabilizing everyone, Nestor's gaze turned to the sky. "Brat, I don't believe that the poison in your hand can kill everyone here. If you're really that capable, go ahead," he sneered."What? You don't even care about your subordinate's lives?" Abigail furrowed her eyebrows.She did have different kinds of poison with her. However, she didn't have much of each.She only had three of the corrosive poison she had thrown down just now. Even if she dumped all of them, she couldn't eliminate all the enemies.That was why she threw out different kinds of threats to make them back off.However, she didn't expect Nestor to be so vicious. He didn't care about his subordinates' lives at all."All of them are brave soldiers who aren't afraid of death. I'm sure they'll be willing to sacrifice themselves just to complete the mission," Nestor replied calmly."That's right! What a troublemaker! You'd better not poke your head into this. If you know what's best for you, you should leave i

When Dustin and Abigail turned around to look, they realized Nestor and the others were still struggling in the white mist. The latter couldn't even tell where they were."Be careful!" At this moment, Dustin's expression suddenly changed. Then, he shielded Abigail. The true energy in his body oozed out, forming a Black Tortoise Shield.In the next second, a black arrow shot across the sky. With lightning speed, it pierced through the body of the giant eagle. However, it didn't stop until it collided with the Black Tortoise Shield.A deafening sound resounded in the air.The Black Tortoise Shield exploded on the spot. The massive impact caused Dustin and Abigail to be blown away.Meanwhile, the eagle that had gotten shot in the chest didn't even manage to cry. It died on the spot and fell from the sky."Blackie!" Abigail cried out.The black eagle was not only the transportation of the Mystic Arts Order's Grand Sorceress but also a heirloom left behind by Abigail's mother.Abi

Dustin's heart dropped when he saw the man smiling innocently in front of him.Nestor was already difficult to deal with. He didn't expect Cesar to pop up.After all, Cesar had been in command of the Martial Artist Union for many years. Not only was he extremely skilled, but he was ruthless.All unions needed to listen to Cesar's command. The Martial Artist Union would oppress those who didn't. In severe cases, their unions might even be eliminated."It looks like you still remember me. What an honor." Cesar had a fake smile on his face."I didn't expect the Head of Martial Arts Union to come over. It looks like Dragon Guard wants to kill me desperately!" Dustin started to gather his energy slowly.Dustin had only just become an ultimate grandmaster. Thus, he wasn't confident about going against experienced ultimate grandmasters like Cesar. Now, he could only fight back with all his might."You shouldn't have come to Oakvale alone. Without the protection of the three great gen

Nestor furrowed his eyebrows at Cesar's words. However, he soon relaxed his face and replied indifferently, "Okay. Anything you say, Mr. Fent."Although he wasn't satisfied with Cesar's indifference, dealing with Dustin and Abigail with his skills was not a problem.He would only need to use minimal effort to deal with them."Your Grace, you're doomed! Go to hell!" Before Nestor finished speaking, he transformed into a shadow and darted toward Dustin."Keep an eye on me, Abigail! I'll deal with this jerk myself!"With a Celestial Blade in his hand, Dustin faced Nestor head-on.Their battle had been arranged a year ago. Today, they would use this chance to fulfill their long-awaited battle!The two figures soon intertwined, and their fierce battle started.Dustin had excellent swordsmanship, which he inherited from the Sword Whisperer. With the Celestial Blade, his attacks were much more vicious and deadly.On the other hand, Nestor cultivated Angry Ironfist. It was a top-tier

"How could this happen?" Abigail clutched her chest and furrowed her eyebrows.The arrow was too fast for her eyes to follow. Although she managed to dodge it, she didn't expect the arrow to curve when traveling so fast.The arrow had hit her chest without any warning.If she hadn't worn the protective amulet her grandmother gifted her, she would have been dead!As number eight on the Astonishing World List, Casper was indeed powerful."Not bad. The Phoenix bloodline can actually withstand my attacks. Interesting." Casper smiled. "However, I still have two more shots. Let's see how you can block them."While saying that, Casper once again mimicked the gesture of drawing a bow.The black bow and arrow slowly materialized in his hands, entirely formed from his internal energy.It was obvious that Cesar's mastery of his internal energy had reached a profound level.He didn't need any weapon. He could use his internal energy to make all kinds of weapons as he wished."Next up, th

"Dragon Sparrow Sword?" When Cesar saw the sword hovering in the air, his eyes narrowed.The smile on his face instantly dropped as he turned serious.Dragon Sparrow Sword was the top sword in the world. The person who owned it was the most prominent swordsman, the Sword Whisperer—Seth!"Why don't you show yourself, Mr. Hughes?" Cesar looked up and scanned his surroundings. His voice was like a resounding bell, echoing far into the distance.Soon, a man in white slowly emerged from the clouds. Finally, he stood on a rock and stared at Cesar.The man who was the Sword Whisperer—Seth!When Seth appeared, it was as if an immortal had descended onto Earth. Although he didn't look harmless, everyone was immediately drawn to him.Even Dustin and Nestor, who were engaged in a fierce battle, stopped fighting."Uncle Seth?" Dustin couldn't help but feel thrilled when he saw him.Seth was the most capable out of the three great generals of the Rhys family. He was also the one who taught

Cesar roared as he gathered his strength, knowing he would lose if he did nothing.The internal energy inside of him oozed out like a tide. It kept reinforcing the protective sphere and repairing the cracks.However, the golden blade grew stronger and stronger. The repaired cracks would appear once again. Cesar felt that a mountain was weighing down on him. He would be crushed to death if he couldn't bear the weight.At this moment, he finally realized how scary Seth's ability was."Boundless Zen! Borrowing the power of earth and heaven!" Seeing that he couldn't hold on for any longer, Cesar used his energy and blood to summon a mysterious technique.A vortex suddenly appeared on the surface of the protective shield when he stomped his feet. The vortex started to absorb the golden sword's terrifying strength rapidly.When the vortex absorbed enough power, it started to radiate golden light. Cesar gritted his teeth and pushed it upward. "Break!" he yelled.The golden sword su

Although the sword was still gathering power to unleash its attack, it already emitted a destructive power.It was obvious that the power of this attack was more fierce and terrifying than the last two.Cesar was so scared that he shook like a leaf. Goosebumps started to appear on his body.Cesar was overwhelmed with the fear of death."Why are you guys still hiding? Quickly come out and help!" Cesar used all his might to scream.His voice was like thunder. It rang throughout the mountains.Just as he finished shouting, a blue figure suddenly emerged from the north. Then, he rushed toward them at an incredible speed.At the same time, a black figure jumped out from the woods in the north. He turned into a dark mist and drifted over.As the blue figure approached, everyone realized he was a handsome middle-aged man.The man held a sword with an indifferent expression, exuding a chilling aura. Wherever he went, the plants around him would freeze.Even the ground he stepped on

Nathaniel's mansion was huge. It was more like a maze than a home. Even with a detailed layout, Dustin had to stay sharp as he moved through the grounds. After all, blueprints never quite captured the twists and turns of the actual place.Led by a maid, he followed a winding path through the corridors for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at a guesthouse with a garden.The place was spacious and quiet, filled with birdsong and blooming flowers. It was a secluded spot that was ideal for privacy."Mr. Rhys, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the maid said. Her gaze was warm with a hint of admiration. She had watched Dustin's performance in the training ground earlier and knew he was an important guest brought in by Nathaniel. If she could catch his attention, it could completely turn her life around.He waved her off and said, "Okay. You can go now. I don't need anyone to attend to me." "Uh… but…" The maid hesitated."Don't worry. I'll explain

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display
An Understated Dominance Chapter 2536
Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern

The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui
