An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1882

The red flare left a long, bright trail as it shot skyward. However, the translucent ceiling of the Octennial Array lit up for a while, and the red flare stopped halfway.

The red flare exploded loudly. The fiery explosion was absorbed by the translucent ceiling and left no trails.

The Dragon Guard members could only see a flashing red light before it completely disappeared. Other than the explosion, everything else remained the same.

“We can’t even send a distress signal! It looks like we’re completely trapped in this spell,” The red-robed elder said with a frown. He couldn’t find the spell’s breaking point even with his eye technique in this situation.

That was enough to prove that this spell was more bizarre and advanced than the Disorientation Spell, especially when both spells were used together. They complemented and enhanced each other’s efficiency.

“Oh no! An ambush from the enemy!” Just as the red-robed elder was thinking of ways to break the spell, he heard a shrill scream.

Black shadows started appearing in all directions. These shadows took the form of a human, but they weren’t real. It was as if they were made from the thick fog. They moved in a strange manner, and their movements were elusive.

As soon as these shadows got closer to them, their hands transformed into sharp blades, and they started attacking the Dragon Guard members.

“Kill them!” Before they could coordinate their attack, the Dragon Guard members rushed forward with their knives.

Even though their movements were limited, they could only die trying for now. To their relief, these shadows were not very skilled, as they fought like low- level martial artists. Only a few of them were at the entry-level of becoming a divine martial artist.

The Dragon Guard members consisted mainly of divine masters. They had been through rigorous training, and they worked together seamlessly. They were able to defeat the shadows very quickly.

After destroying all the shadows, they lost only two of their team members, and a handful of them were severely injured.

“Hahaha… I thought they would be better than this! Who knew they were all trash!”
