An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2155

Predator had reached the late-stage grandmaster. So, his strength was comparable to that of the guildmasters of major guilds in Dragonmarsh.

With a single swing of his sword, the power and destructive force were so terrifying that it sent shivers down the spines of Dalen and the others.

Their greatest concern was the possibility that Dustin might not be able to withstand Predator's onslaught and end up being killed.

Seeing the giant sword aura descending toward him, Dustin acted without hesitation. He swiftly raised his hand and countered with an upward strike.

A thick white sword aura appeared, clashing with the red sword aura.

Dustin's white sword aura spanned a mere three feet, dwarfed by the Predator's red sword aura, which stretched over 30 feet.

The odds seemed overwhelmingly against him, like an ant challenging an elephant.

However, Dustin's white sword aura effortlessly shattered the Predator's red sword aura upon collision.

A deafening blast followed as the white sword aura pierced through the red one like a bullet. Continuing its trajectory, it aimed directly at the airborne Predator.

"What?" Predator's expression paled, and he immediately raised his giant sword to block.

The collision between the white sword aura and the giant sword ignited a shower of sparks.

The powerful impact sent Predator hurtling toward the ground. His body crashed with a resounding thud.

Upon impact, his feet struck the ground, creating a deep crater. Spiderweb cracks radiated from the center of the pit, extending across the ground in a 30-foot radius.

"Holy crap!" Miles exclaimed. "Dustin blocked the attack?" He couldn't help but be amazed by the sight.

When Predator's giant sword descended, it seemed like a mountain was crashing down on Dustin. Miles thought that Dustin would be crushed like a bug.

However, to his astonishment, Dustin effortlessly deflected the attack with a simple sword move.

"Dustin didn't block it. But he knocked the opponent back!" Dalen exclaimed with a mix of surprise and delight.

He continued, "Though his strike wasn't very powerful, it was incredibly precise and solid. By prioritizing precision over force, he deflected the attack. That catches the other man off guard and knocks him back!"

Dustin's consistent ability to defy expectations was remarkable. Whenever danger arose, he adeptly turned the tables and regained control of the situation.

He was truly skilled at hiding his true abilities.

"Move aside!"

Dustin didn't pursue further confrontation after knocking Predator back with his sword strike. Instead, he raised his sword and charged into the crowd to deal with the black-clad assassins.

He knew that dragging the battle would only raise the death toll on their side.

"Bring it on!"

Two of the black-clad assassins saw Dustin charging toward them. They wasted no time and lunged at him. With their swords drawn, one attacked from the left and the other from the right.

Their movements were swift as lightning, and their strikes were lethal. The surrounding martial artists could barely track their actions. All they witnessed was a blur as the two assassins swiftly passed by.

Dustin didn't evade and confronted the assault head-on. He raised his sword to counter their attacks.

With a clang, the assassins' swords snapped in two, stunning them. "Huh?"

Before they could react, Dustin had already sliced through their necks with his second strike.

As the sword flashed past, both assassins stiffened and remained motionless. In the next moment, their heads rolled off their shoulders, and blood splattered everywhere.
