An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1993

The black serpent spewed forth a torrent of dark flames, resembling a black dragon that swiftly engulfed Dustin. Instantly, the nearby riverbed dried up, leaving behind a charred and desolate path.

His fate seemed grim, and everyone shook their heads, convinced of his impending doom. The deadly flames of the black serpent were evident to all.

Even those at the divine level martial artists would turn to ashes instantly.

Despite this, Dustin faced the flames head-on without flinching. They wondered if he was knowingly walking into his demise.

Garrett sneered and thought, "This kid talks big but can't back it up. Completely clueless." He knew Dustin would end up burned to ashes.

"It's over. Dustin is gone." Jackson sighed, unable to bring himself to witness the scene anymore.

He admitted that Dustin's strength was impressive, surpassing even Yonah. The issue, though, was that the black serpent possessed strength comparable to that of a grandmaster martial artist.

Jackson had witnessed Aidan suffer severe injuries from just one blow. Therefore, Jackson concluded that Dustin's fate looked grim.

Yonah sneered as he watched the figure in the flames. "Hmph! Let's see how you're going to survive this."

His defeat at the hands of Dustin marked the most significant shame in his life. Despite harboring a desire for revenge, Yonah found himself thwarted by Dustin's formidable strength and a host of allies.

Surprisingly, Yonah no longer had to seek vengeance, as Dustin voluntarily walked into his demise.

"Ha! Finally getting a taste of your own medicine?" Bran chuckled, reveling in Dustin's misfortune.

He had been nursing a grudge against Dustin for a while, and seeing him burned alive brought Bran great satisfaction.

"This kid... is surprisingly bold for a newbie," Aidan remarked as he staggered to his feet.

He felt a sense of relief, knowing that Dustin had managed to redirect the black serpent's attention. Otherwise, Aidan might have ended up engulfed in flames.

The black serpent spewed flames for a few seconds, but when the dust settled, a surprising sight awaited.

Dustin, who had been engulfed in flames, emerged unscathed. His clothes were intact, and he appeared completely unharmed.

"W-What? What's happening? The bastard isn't dead?"

"He's alive, and his clothes are still intact. It's unbelievable!"

"Am I imagining this? How the heck did he pull that off?"

When Dustin emerged unharmed, everyone was astonished.

It seemed almost unbelievable that he had faced flames capable of melting steel, something even the grandmaster martial artists might struggle with.

It seemed almost unbelievable that Dustin had emerged from the ordeal without a scratch. This led everyone to ponder whether Dustin possessed some sort of miraculous technique.

At that moment, everyone, including the fire-spewing black serpent, was shocked. The black serpent was surprised to see Dustin standing strong against its flames, a sight it hadn't anticipated.

It started contemplating the idea that if the initial flame didn't finish him off, it was now considering launching another attack.
