An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1690

Abigail quietly prayed, “I hope Uncle Seth wins.”

At the top of the mountain, Alaric stood with the Inferno Fury Spear, his hair messy and his eyes glowing red. Terrifying waves of energy continuously surged from within him. The force was so intense that even the Inferno Fury Spear started to bend slightly, its tip vibrating wildly.

On the other side, Seth, holding the Dragon Sparrow Sword, was surrounded by a bright golden light, blending perfectly with the sword.

Both of them went all out, starting the final fight. They understood that whoever lost now would definitely face ultimate defeat.

The spear and sword collided incessantly, unleashing concentric waves of colorful light. It concealed destructive power potent enough to kill powerful grandmaster martial artists.

After struggling intensely for about three minutes, Alaric’s Inferno Fury Spear slowly gained ground, pushing back Seth’s Dragon Sparrow Sword. It was clear that Alaric had the upper hand in personal cultivation.

“Seth! You’re tougher than I thought. But in the end, you’re just not my match,” Alaric sneered with a triumphant smile.

He continued, “Your energy will run out eventually, weakening with each strike. Unlike you, I’m different! I can draw the vital force from the earth within Oakvale, replenishing myself in every battle.

“So, I don’t worry about getting weaker. I actually grow stronger! That’s the difference between us. Even Arion from Sacred Wrym Summit couldn’t outlast me!”

As the leader of the Dragon Guard, Alaric had spent years in seclusion, cultivating a resonance with the vital force.

Even from a hundred miles away, he could absorb the vital force’s essence. It wasn’t an exaggeration. Within Oakvale, he was unbeatable.

“Sure, you might have the edge in cultivation, but there’s one area where you fall short,” Seth declared coldly.
