An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1959

"Mr. Ridge, since you're determined, I won't insist further," Jackson conceded as his advice went ignored.

He knew that revealing these unknown creatures would create chaos once they were taken outside the oasis. However, the outcome remained uncertain.

Suddenly, Aidan turned to Grace. "Little Miss, I've got a plan to catch this critter alive. Can I borrow your Dragon Rope?"

Despite having enough skills to handle the creature, the real challenge was capturing and taming it.

Understanding that regular ropes wouldn't work against such a strong beast, Aidan realized that only the Dragon Rope could do the job.

"Since you've asked, I won't say no," Grace said. She signaled to the captain of the royal guard to get the Dragon Rope. Once he returned, she handed it to Aidan.

Aidan's mood improved as he took the Dragon Rope. "Thank you, I really appreciate it. Remember, if you ever run into any trouble, don't hesitate to reach out to me!"

Just as he was about to approach the creature, an unexpected event occurred.

The black panther, focused on its meal, suddenly sensed something and raised its head alertly. Its emerald-green eyes scanned the surroundings, and its steel-like black fur stood on end, anticipating danger.

Suddenly, the ground in front of the black panther erupted, creating a massive crater.

Emerging from the hole was a giant python, its body as thick as a water tank and stretching over 30 feet. Its scales resembled armor, gleaming with a metallic sheen that gave it the appearance of a train from afar.

"What the heck!"

The unexpected scene surprised everyone.

The menacing black panther and an even more imposing giant python seemed to appear out of nowhere. It made them wonder how many other creatures were lurking in the oasis.

The brown giant python slithered out from the earth, hissing as it charged toward the black panther. The black panther was unfazed and stood its ground, meeting the python head-on.

And a fierce battle began.

The black panther displayed its speed, razor-sharp claws, and agile movements to counter the giant python's attacks.

Meanwhile, the python used its size, strength, and defense. The survival struggle between these two creatures continued.

The black panther tactically focused on tearing and swiping, executing each strike with precision before retreating to avoid prolonged engagements.

On the contrary, the giant python utilized its body and tail, capitalizing on its colossal size, immense strength, and robust defense.

The struggle for survival between these two creatures persisted.

The black panther had the advantage, inflicting scratches on the giant python with each attack.

However, the python's size made it somewhat clumsy, temporarily hindering its ability to retaliate against the nimble black panther.

"Heh ... Looks like my mount's got the upper hand!" Aidan chuckled, enjoying the spectacle. He knew that making the black panther his mount would boost his prestige significantly.

"The giant python hasn't fully unleashed its power yet. It's tough to predict who'll come out on top," Dustin remarked casually.
