An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2187

The man in black didn't dare to stand his ground. Instead, he swiftly dodged to the side.

At that moment, Number 6's halberd nearly grazed his shoulder, but it only left a tear on his clothing. If he had been any slower, he might have lost an arm.

She intensified her assault as her speed and strength increased with each strike. Each swing of her blade carried the sound of thunder, which made her attacks unstoppable.

On the contrary, he continuously evaded her attacks. Even when he managed to block, his arms were left numb, and he was forced to retreat several steps with each blow.

With no opportunity for a counterattack, he had no choice but to focus on defense.

"Hey, Miles, didn't you say she would lose? Looks like she's gaining momentum and might win." Ruby watched the fight with growing surprise from outside the battle ring.

Initially, the man in black seemed to have the upper hand. But once Number 6 removed her outer clothing, she turned the tables. Surprisingly, her relentless assault couldn't be stopped.

"Well…" Miles' smile froze, and his face revealed some embarrassment. He hadn't expected Number 6 to wear darksteel armor underneath her clothes.

Her sealed strength was unleashed with the armor removed, greatly enhancing her abilities. It just proved that predictions didn't hold up until the very end.

Miles suddenly turned to Dustin with a curious expression. "Hey, did you already know that Number 6 was wearing darksteel armor?"

"Nope." Dustin smiled and explained, "I figured a petite woman like her swinging a halberd had to be special. It's not every day you see women handling weapons like that."

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that?" Miles finally caught on.

When someone was doing something out of the ordinary, there was usually a good reason behind it.
