An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2163

"Dead… dead? How is that possible?"

"I never expected Elder Wood from the Celestial Alliance, a prominent figure in the martial world, to die at the hands of a beast. It's truly unbelievable!"

"Well, he's too arrogant and overbearing. Guess karma finally caught up with him."

The death of Acheron caused a stir throughout the crowd. Nobody expected such a mighty and arrogant figure to meet such an abrupt end.

Predator took him down, pinned him, and bit off his head.

What struck everyone as particularly unsettling was that Acheron didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Elder… Elder Wood…?" Quincy, who had just arrived, stood frozen in place as he looked at the headless corpse before him.

Acheron had always been a figure of power and authority, towering above Quincy and many others. Within the Celestial Alliance, his status was unrivaled.

All the disciples from the Celestial Alliance who showed up for the tournament at Sacred Wrym Summit were under Acheron's supervision.

Yet, the once-resplendent figure now lay as nothing more than a headless body. It was truly a lamentable sight.

After feasting on Acheron's head, the beastly Predator lifted his head and unleashed a deafening roar. The sound was so intense that many martial artists winced in pain, instinctively covering their ears.

At the level of an ultimate grandmaster, even a simple sound wave attack was beyond the defense of ordinary martial artists.

After its roar, Predator's massive body seemed to weaken and collapse to the ground.

Following that, his body quickly shrank, and his black fur, along with all his beastly features, gradually disappeared.

Soon, the terrifying black-haired monster had completely reverted to his human form.

Upon seeing this, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

After all, the beastly Predator was simply too terrifying. Its speed, strength, defense, and healing ability were beyond comprehension.

Regenerating severed limbs and healing a broken heart, Predator seemed like an unstoppable force of nature.

If even elites like Acheron could have their heads bitten off, what chance did ordinary martial artists have?

Luckily, the beast seemed to have worn itself out. If not, who knew how many more lives it would have claimed?

"Dustin, are you guys alright?"

After a brief moment of shock, Quincy finally led the group forward.

"I'm fine, but it seems Elder Wood from the Celestial Alliance had an unexpected encounter," Dustin replied casually.

Quincy's mouth twitched, and momentarily, he was left speechless. "Unexpected encounter? More like a decapitation!" he muttered incredulously.

A young female disciple of the Celestial Alliance suddenly demanded, "Hey! You were standing right next to Elder Wood when the beast attacked him. Why didn't you help?"

Dressed in white and quite attractive, she had a somewhat sharp gaze.
