An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1855

“Uncle Julius, my patience has its limits. Will you accept my conditions or not?” Dustin’s expression turned icy.

“You want me to agree to your conditions? Fine, but you must defeat me in a fair fight, or there’s no deal!” Julius shouted.

West Lucozia valued martial prowess. As a grand general who had fought his way through countless bloody battlefields, he understood the importance of strength.

It was a world where respect and reason were reserved for the strong, while the weak had no right to argue.

“Alright, since you insist on a showdown, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

Dustin declared loud and clear, “I’m going to strike three times. If you can defend against all three of my attacks, I’ll admit defeat!”

“You insolent brat! I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Julius, incensed by the apparent disrespect, intensified his attacks. Blades filled the sky, sweeping toward Dustin like a storm.

With a light tap of his toes, Dustin lifted off the ground, soaring more than a hundred feet into the air.

“First strike, Sevenbane!”

After hovering in the air for a few seconds, Dustin abruptly changed directions. Gripping his sword with a single hand, he dove headfirst, unleashing a powerful strike. In an instant, the Celestial Blade emitted an intense black radiance.

The black radiance expanded rapidly, giving rise to a colossal black sword stretching ten feet. It gave off an icy glow as though it could consume everything in its path and descended toward Julius on the ground.
