An Understated Dominance Chapter 2697
The color drained from Grace's face as she heard Cyran's words. The sliver of hope she had been clinging to was now on the verge of shattering completely because of his revelation.She could almost picture her father consuming that elixir of immortality, only to transform into something monstrous. The vision crushed her beneath a wave of despair and helplessness.Judith quickly kneeled to support her, and her eyes reddened as well.Dustin watched in silence, offering no words of comfort. He knew some realities had to be faced head-on.Cyran looked at the distraught Grace and sighed."Young lady," he said gently, "it's not that I would deny your devotion to your father, but fate is cruel. To harness the essence of the Void-Tyrant Dragon is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. In the end, it would only hasten its escape from the binding seal. "When that happens, countless lives will be lost and everything you hope to protect will vanish. This is the weight of great karma, a

As Dustin and the others navigated through the perilous herb garden, every step felt like walking through a minefield. The spiritual herbs that glowed so enticingly now seemed no different from snarling demons in everyone's eyes.Following close behind Dustin, everyone was on edge as they avoided areas with abnormal energy fluctuations. As they reached the far end of the garden, the mist thickened, and the sound of running water grew clearer. They finally broke through the last layer of mist blocking their vision, and the sight left them speechless.A vast expanse of calm water spread out before them, its mirrorlike surface glowing a dreamlike shade of blue. A dense spiritual energy hung above its surface, so thick it almost looked tangible. Each breath they took filled them with renewed strength and calm. Even the internal energy they had depleted earlier in the mist zone and poisonous gas was slowly recovering.At the center of the lake, a small island could vaguely be seen. T

Dustin pointed at the inscription on the tablet, specifically the lines that read, "Though it resembles the elixir of immortality, it is in truth a supremely evil thing", and "Those who consume it will have their spirit and soul destroyed, or transformed into dragon puppets.""It seems the rumors we heard about the elixir of immortality likely refer to this Dragonblood Fruit," he said grimly. "It's not a real elixir at all, but a corrupted creation born from the Maleficar Dragon's lingering essence mixing with the life force of this place."The revelation hit Grace like a physical blow, draining the color from her face. After all the hardship and the lives lost along the way, what she had been pursuing was actually a "supremely evil elixir" that could destroy one's soul or turn them into a monster."How… How can this be?" she stammered, stepping back in shock. Was this the end of her only hope to cure her ailing father.Just then, one guard who stayed behind swallowed hard when h

After a short rest, Grace let out a soft, steadying breath. She then turned to look at those who had stayed behind.Rhydian's eyes were resolute. The other two guards gripped their weapons tightly despite their pale faces. Cyprian sat slumped against the cave wall, his gaze hollow yet carrying a hint of resigned calm. Meanwhile, Judith looked at her with worry written all over her face.Finally, Grace's eyes settled on Dustin. He remained in meditation, eyes closed, seemingly detached from the world and its troubles. That transcendent calm somehow calmed her restless heart."Let's go," she said.Her voice regained its customary chill, but now underpinned by a grim, do-or-die resolve.As if on cue, Dustin opened his eyes. He gave a single, curt nod. Without a word, he led the way toward the narrow passage at the far end of the cavern.The tunnel was cramped and damp, forcing them to proceed in single file, bent double. The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and decay. It w

Kyle and his group clung to the slim hope of taking their share of supplies and finding another way out through the caverns. Even if the chances were slim, it was better than knowingly walking down a dead end with no way back.Rhydian turned pale with fury. He clenched his fists, wanting to berate them. But when he looked at the comrades he'd fought alongside and saw the fear in their eyes, the harsh words died in his throat. He was just as terrified, but duty and loyalty held him back."You… How could you do this?" Judith snapped, her voice tight with frustration as she stamped her foot. "Her Highness has treated you well, and now you would turn tail at the first sign of danger?"Grace looked at the men before her, tears and snot running down their faces as they pleaded desperately. Her heart was a whirlpool of conflicting emotions. There was disappointment, the chill of betrayal, but even more than that, there was a deep sorrow and helplessness.She understood their fear. If even

The warning Ysolde left behind made the atmosphere in the cave even more oppressive.The process of distributing supplies no longer held any relief. Instead, it was carried out with a grim, meticulous caution. Clean water and dried rations were divided equally among everyone. Grace personally kept the box of healing tablets for emergencies.They all ate in silence, chewing tasteless rations that felt like sawdust in their mouths.In the corner, the two most severely injured guards sat slumped against the stone wall, their faces ashen. One had a chest wound from the shadow mist. Though bandaged, a grayish death energy continued spreading from the injury. His breathing came shallow and labored. It was apparent that he was on the brink of death.The other had lost an arm. Though the bleeding had been stopped, the immense pain and blood loss left him delirious, and he occasionally let out incoherent groans.Their pitiful state shook the rest of the survivors to their core, rattlin
