An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2165

The two disciples from Sacred Wrym Summit moved with lightning speed, swiftly dislocating Predator's arms. In an instant, he was left powerless, his arms hanging limp after just one clash.

But Predator wasn't about to give up. Despite his dislocated arms rendering him immobile, he still snarled and lunged at one of the disciples with his mouth wide open.

The disciple held his ground, and a shimmering golden light enveloped his body.

With a sharp impact, Predator rammed headfirst into the golden light and staggered back several feet. His face was a mess of blood and flesh, a few teeth knocked loose, leaving him dazed and swaying.

"What was that golden light just now? It looked so powerful," Ruby remarked, her eyes widening with surprise.

She was familiar with Predator's strength. Even without his transformation or in his weakened state, he could still hold his own against formidable opponents like Quincy.

Yet, his two attacks were effortlessly blocked by the golden light surrounding the Sacred Wrym Summit disciples, causing harm to Predator instead.

It was clear that this golden light was no ordinary defense.

"The golden light flashing on them is one of the Eight Sacred Incantations of the Pathfinder Sect, called the Glow Incantation," Crystal explained.

She went on, "The essence of heaven and earth was the source of all energy. Bathed in golden light, our bodies become impervious, demons lose their nerve, and malevolent beings lose their shape. Concealed within is the power of thunder.

"The Glow Incantation is a formidable defensive technique, notoriously challenging to master. But once mastered, it shields its wielder from conventional weaponry and elemental assaults.

"Given their proficiency, they've probably achieved mastery. Even an experienced grandmaster would find breaching their defense a daunting task."

Upon hearing this, Ruby couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "So powerful? Does that mean they're unrivaled in combat?"

"Ruby, who in their right mind would pick a fight with Sacred Wrym Summit?" Miles shook his head.

Even the three most powerful sects wouldn't dare challenge them.

Sacred Wrym Summit towered over both the martial world and the authorities, untouchable and beyond question.

They possessed an abundance of skilled elites and were bolstered by the unparalleled influence of the Ancient Sage, Arion.

In the martial world, it was widely speculated that not even the combined might of the top nine figures on the Astonishing World List could match Arion's prowess.

The Ancient Sage was a force to be reckoned with.

Predator regained his senses, and his ferocity undiminished as he pressed on. He showed no intention of backing down. With a relentless charge, he aimed for the two Sacred Wrym Summit disciples.

His mind had descended into madness, driving him forward with unbridled rage.

"Irrational!"

The two disciples' expressions darkened, poised to strike, when a lazy voice suddenly cut in, "This guy still has some use. Don't hurt him."

With the voice came a ragged yet handsome young monk, descending gracefully from above and landing beside the pair.

The young monk, with a toothpick dangling from his lips, seemed to be in a perpetual state of drowsiness as he squinted.

"Greetings, Master Caleb!" The two Sacred Wrym Summit disciples immediately bowed respectfully.

"Enough, both of you step back. I'll handle this guy," the young monk lazily waved his hand.

"Yes!" The two disciples responded promptly and retreated to the side.

"Where did this little monk come from? Is he any good?" Ruby asked skeptically.
