An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1963

"Hah! These darn vines dare to ambush my comrade. I shall set you ablaze!" The burly man, enraged by the stubborn, still-moving vines, swiftly grabbed a nearby torch.

He was ready to set it on fire.

Jackson, watching from afar, noticed a looming danger and quickly shouted, "Hey, look behind you!"

"What?" Upon heeding the warning, the burly man swiftly turned.

A silver vine, gleaming unlike its dull gray counterparts, approached him like a spear. It was thicker, tougher, and faster.

"Go to hell!" With a quick wrist flip, he swung his steel blade, aiming to cut the silver vine in half.

The blade clashed with the silver vine, creating sparks and a loud metal clash. The vine's attack paused, making the burly man stagger back in shock.

"This is tougher than I expected." His eyelid twitched as he examined his steel blade, noticing a clear nick from his recent strike.

Realizing the vine was tougher than his blade, he wondered about its origin and concluded it must be a divine weapon.

Without granting the burly man a moment to react, the silver vine swiftly launched another piercing attack, moving as swiftly as a lightning bolt.

The burly man acted cautiously, promptly raising his blade in defense. Soon, an intense battle unfolded.

Despite his adept sword techniques and lethal moves, he found himself incapable of inflicting any damage upon the resilient silver vine.
