Ashton rose from the flames. The killing intent surging from him climbed to an entirely new level. Deep within his eyes, twin black dragons seemed to writhe in black flames, looking fierce enough to unsettle anyone who met his gaze.

“That aura… It’s now on par with the Sage’s pinnacle of the semi–divine realm.”

“How is that possible? Someone explain this to me. Ashton didn’t die, but he got stronger?”

“He was pushed to his limit and forced to make a breakthrough. Only the strongest can do something like that. Anyone who’s reached the top will tell you the greatest opportunities come at the edge of life and death.

“From the moment Ashton stepped into Grandcrest Estate, he’s fought nonstop. His mindset has sharpened, and his understanding of the martial path has deepened. This breakthrough was inevitable.”

“That aura… Ashton hasn’t stepped into the divine realm yet, but he’s reached the peak semi–divine realm. He keeps breaking past his own limits. That’s the aura of someone born to lead.

“I’m starting to believe he really can rise to the top to become the new ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury. What we’re witnessing right now is something extraordinary.”

“Incredible… Calling him the strongest man in Javonbury wouldn’t be an exaggeration, right?”

A searing, ice–cold killing intent burst from Ashton and crashed straight into Flint.

Flint’s eyes narrowed as a heavy realization settled in. His expression turned grave, the smile disappearing from his face.

As the ruler of the criminal underworld in Javonbury, he had seen countless challengers come to test his authority. Yet, he had never once given those so–called prodigies a second glance.

The world might be obsessed with young prodigies, but as long as he was alive, none of them would rise above him. And thus he had never tasted defeat. He always outmaneuvered his enemies, turning them to dust with a casual gesture and a mocking smile.

He had initially assumed Ashton would be no different from the others. To him. Ashton was just another challenger who posed

no real threat to him.

But now, a cold dread washed over him.

“Interesting,” Flint murmured, pushing aside every stray thought.

He had survived countless battles and understood better than anyone that in a life–or–death fight, hesitation was fatal. Even if Ashton had nearly closed the gap in power, he still believed he would prevail.

The energy around Flint surged like a storm breaking loose, his advance swift and predatory.

Ashton tilted his head as the Drakeborne lineage surged within him. At the brink of death, the power embedded deep in his lineage intensified further. The volatile force nearly tore him apart from within, while savage killing intent strained for release.

“This is exhilarating… Flint, are you ready to die? You call yourself a man, but you’re nothing of the sort. You’re rotten to the core, a traitor who sold out his own country. Men like you don’t deserve to live. Your reckoning starts here.”

A dragon’s cry tore through the clouds overhead as Ashton burst forward in a streak of black light. He unleashed his strongest killing strike, committing fully and abandoning all concern for his own survival.

“You arrogant brat!” Flint snapped. “You really think you’re on my level? Let me show you where you stand.”

Veins stood out sharply across his face as he charged at Ashton without the slightest restraint. He was utterly certain he could crush Ashton outright.

They collided like a tiger meeting a black dragon head–on. Power ripped through the air between them, the space itself warping under the strain. The two engaged in an all–out fight.

At first, Ashton was still at a clear disadvantage. Flint’s relentless assault constantly forced him back.

But to Flint’s dismay, he couldn’t land a decisive blow no matter how fierce his attacks came.

Ashton was like a man who refused to fall. He narrowly evaded fatal blows, dragged himself back up from the wreckage, and reengaged every time.

His injuries worsened with each exchange. The wounds across his body were brutal and unmistakable. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago under such damage.

Driven by sheer will and the Drakeborne lineage surging in him, and by a resolve that placed life and death on equal footing, he continued to lock Flint into a brutal struggle.

Gradually, some powerful figures with sharp eyes began to realize something was wrong.

“The momentum has shifted. It was tilted toward the Sage, but now it’s even. Ashton seems to be adapting to his attack. He’s not dominating, but he’s absorbing most of the attacks and starting to counter.”
