An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2162

Acheron was caught off guard by the beastly Predator's sudden attack. Before he could react, he was already thrown to the ground.

After transforming, Predator wielded immense strength. He pressed Acheron down with claws resembling darksteel.

Despite his efforts, Acheron couldn't break free. He had to resort to using his golden broadsword to defend against the beast's claws.

The beastly Predator continued to roar and snarl viciously. Its bloodied jaws dripped a thick green liquid with a foul odor.

As the liquid dripped onto Acheron's face, it sizzled and caused his skin to corrode. "Argh!" He gritted his teeth and cried out in agony.

Yet, Acheron couldn't believe how fast the beastly Predator had recovered after being impaled in the chest earlier. It astounded him that the beast's wound had fully healed within minutes.

Still, he couldn't understand why the beast targeted him.

"Get off me, you damn beast!" he shouted as his hands pushed against the blade with all his might. He tried to shove the beast away, but it was futile.

Following its transformation, Predator had reached an early-stage ultimate grandmaster level and possessed extraordinary strength. In a direct confrontation, Acheron would be outmatched.

The beastly Predator let out a thunderous roar. Its claws pressed down on the golden broadsword as its head edged closer to Acheron's face.

Its menacing teeth loomed nearer, and with a flick of its barbed tongue, it ripped a chunk of flesh from Acheron's cheek.

It was a sight that sent shivers through the onlookers.

"I can't believe that beast ended up saving Dustin," Miles remarked, astonished by the unexpected turn of events.

Dalen narrowed his eyes. "Looks like Acheron's really struggling to keep his ground."

Ruby chimed in with a hint of satisfaction, "Well, he's always been the bully. Guess it's catching up to him now."

"What a slick move by Mr. Rhys, leading trouble straight to Acheron's doorstep," Crystal said as she observed quietly. There was a touch of admiration in her voice.

While others might have missed it, she could tell that Predator's initial target was Dustin. But he had anticipated the ambush, dodging just in time as the beast lunged toward Acheron.

With both of them now locked in combat, Dustin could easily kill them if he wanted to.

Acheron's fury erupted as he shouted, "Punk! How dare you use this beast against me? Get it off me now!"

At that moment, the beastly Predator pinned him down. He couldn't move, no matter how hard he struggled. With each passing moment, he dreaded becoming the beast's next meal.

"Elder Wood, don't try to blame this on me. Your own actions have caught up with you, and this beast is just the universe balancing things out," Dustin said, standing nearby with a look of amusement.

"Cut the crap! Deal with this beast now, and I'll pretend nothing has happened tonight!" Acheron spat out angrily.
