An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1631

“What’s going on?” Alaric brushed off the debris from his clothes as he descended from the altar. His crimson eyes betrayed no emotion, giving off a presence reminiscent of a god indifferent to his surroundings.

To regular people, Alaric’s existence was no different from that of celestial beings. With a mere snap of his fingers, he could turn someone into dust.

“Founder, Inferno Fury Spear just acted strangely, as if it reacted to something,” a member of the Dragon Guard reported.

“Strange signs?” Alaric turned to glance at the red spear behind him and extended his hand. The red spear emitted a soft hum, rising directly into his hands. Closing his eyes, he concentrated and soon obtained results.

“So, the Dragon Sparrow Sword has made an appearance. No wonder you’re so excited,” he muttered to himself. Upon hearing his words, members of the Dragon Guard expressed surprise, and some even showed signs of anger.

“The Dragon Sparrow Sword? Could it be the number one sword in the world?”

“As far as I know, the Dragon Sparrow Sword is currently wielded by the Sword Whisperer Seth Hughes. Has he arrived in Oakvale?”

“Hmph! The audacity. Without the Dragon Guard’s decree, he dared to trespass into Oakvale. He has blatantly defied the authority of the Dragon Guard!”

Upon hearing about the appearance of the Dragon Sparrow Sword, reactions varied from astonishment to resentment.

The Dragon Guard held imperial power and controlled the major affairs of the realm. Anyone or any force, regardless of who they were, had to bow in submission before the Dragon Guard.
