An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2158

Dustin was well-versed and knowledgeable about creatures like werewolves and vampires in Streuqua. But facing something like Predator, who turned into a beast and became ten times stronger, was completely new to him.

It showed that the mysterious assassin organization held significant power and influence. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to nurture so many elites.

Thrown back by the impact, Predator tapped into his primal instincts. His form expanded even more, akin to an elephant's, while a dark haze enveloped him and radiated a sinister air.

With its four limbs forcefully pushing off the ground, it lunged forward like a cannonball toward Dustin at terrifying speed.

"Hurricane Slash!"

Dustin gripped his sword with one hand and swiftly delivered five consecutive slashes. The resulting sword auras intertwined, forming a massive net that bore down on Predator.

A thunderous crash filled the air as Predator charged headlong into the net without hesitation.

Five sword auras shattered upon impact and dispersed them into energy.

The beastly Predator was sent flying over several yards. He crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater upon impact.

He emitted a low growl as it rolled to its feet, and his beastly eyes gleamed with ferocity.

After the collision, he was covered in blood and sustained serious wounds. One of his muscular arms was severed, and three deep sword gashes marred his chest.

While these injuries would prove fatal for most creatures, they were mere scratches to the beastly Predator.

With its massive frame, Predator boasted formidable defense and a terrifying regeneration capacity. In mere seconds, the wounds on its chest stopped bleeding and began to heal rapidly.

Yet, the most chilling sight was the severed arm visibly regenerating at an alarming rate. Such monstrous regenerative abilities instilled pure terror in onlookers.

"Holy shit! What the heck is that thing? His arm just grew back by itself? That's scary!"

"Damn it! This guy is like a fucking cockroach that just won't die!"

"I wonder if Dustin can handle this beast?"

Witnessing Predator's wounds heal rapidly left the martial artists dumbfounded.

Earlier, when Predator was knocked back, they felt a glimmer of hope and thought they had a chance. But now, they were filled with doubt.

The beastly Predator was fast, strong, and tough and had an unbelievable ability to recover. Anyone encountering something like this would feel despair.

At that moment, they could only hope that Dustin could hold on. Otherwise, the whole town would be drenched in blood if this beast went berserk.

"What a pain in the neck," Dustin muttered. His expression grew serious as he furrowed his brow. He hadn't anticipated Predator's post-transformation would possess such terrifying regenerative abilities.

Witnessing severe wounds almost fully heal in just a matter of seconds was mind-boggling. He knew he'd be worn down to nothing if the fight continued like this.

"It looks like I can't spare your life today." Dustin shook his head, and a glint of menace flashed in his eyes.

Initially, he had planned to capture Predator alive and extract some information from him. But now, that plan seemed out of the question.

After all, it was kill or be killed. If Dustin didn't act now, it would spell endless trouble.

Predator roared, and at that moment, his severed arm had fully regenerated. It looked just as muscular as before. Then, he scraped the ground with his newly grown claws and lunged at Dustin again.
