An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1198

Chapter 1198: Clash of the Titans

Even among the greatest masters, there are different levels of strength, and the gaps between these levels are like impassable chasms.

“Look at that boy, Derek has given him too much credit,” said Jan Crane with a grin, shaking his head. “It seems that Leader Ronald has reached new heights in his power after his retreat. I bet he can defeat Dustin in just three moves.”

“Is that so?” Derek raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. Ronald had already reached the peak of Grandmaster status several years ago. If he continued to improve, wouldn’t he be on the cusp of becoming a Martial Arts Master? In that case, the Martial Law Bureau would need to reassess his value.

“Dustin, you should never have challenged me. I gave you a chance back in the Black Forest, but it seems you’re determined to invite disaster upon yourself. Today, there’s no one who can save you!” Ronald continued to advance, his already formidable aura surging once again.

It was like a tidal wave, overwhelming everything in its path.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Under the intense pressure, the energy surrounding Dustin began to fracture, resembling a giant piece of glass on the verge of shattering. The cracks spread rapidly, forming a complex web-like pattern.

“Buzz~!”

Behind Dustin, the Sky Sword concealed in its sheath began to vibrate intensely, emitting a low, eager hum. It seemed too eager to join the battle.

However, Dustin reached out and patted the sword’s hilt to calm its restlessness. It wasn’t time to unsheathe the sword just yet.

“Dustin! Your time has come!” Pushed to his limits, Ronald suddenly lunged forward, and with a “thud,” the energy barrier that Dustin had erected shattered into fragments.

“Prepare to meet your end!” Ronald seized the opportunity, advancing quickly and transforming into a white streak of light shooting straight upwards.

Wherever the white streak passed, the air was torn asunder, emitting thunderous roars, and carving deep grooves into the once-solid arena floor.
