An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1692

Despite narrowly avoiding death, Alaric couldn’t shake off the pain lingering in his soul. The fear and despair felt impossible to shake off as they kept tormenting him.

“Mr. Drakon, are you okay?” Cesar hurried to Alaric’s side, standing protectively.

“I’m alive? I made it?” Alaric gawked in disbelief. He could not believe that he had escaped certain death when he witnessed Seth’s astral projection.

He believed that he was the chosen one, after all.

“Mr. Drakon, I sensed trouble and acted fast. So, I shot an arrow and got Seth injured. Thankfully, it saved you just in time,” Cesar boasted.

Hearing this, Alaric glanced at Seth, who looked weak. Seth was bleeding from seven orifices and struggling to stand.

At that moment, Alaric felt a mix of surprise and relief. He let out a triumphant laugh. “Hahaha! Well done. From now on, you’re an elder in the Dragon Guard!”

“Thank you, Chief Guildmaster!” Cesar said with a bright smile, nodding.

“Seth, bet you didn’t see that one coming?” Alaric studied Seth’s weakened form with a proud expression.

“You’re impressive, I have to admit. I couldn’t even counter that move. But you still missed the mark!”

Seth said nothing. He coughed violently, and his whole body shook uncontrollably.

“Despicable!” Frost sighed from a distance, looking displeased.

If not for Cesar’s sneak attack, Seth would’ve surely won. After all, battles between such powerful beings should be transparent, based on strength alone.
