Chapter 860
“It’s such a pity that Ashton ended up facing an opponent this terrifying. He’s only in the semi–divine realm. Even if he stepped into the divine realm, he’d still be throwing his life away. The only question is how long he’d last. If I were him, I’d know when to give up and surrender.”
“Ashton is nothing compared to the Lowery family’s appointed heir.”
“Just watch. One move from Cassian, and this fight is over. Then, you’ll see how powerful he really is.”
“This is the King of Javonbury we stand behind. He’s the true ruler of this city. Ashton and that Legion behind him think they can lay claim to Javonbury? Keep dreaming. It’s time for them to wake up.”
Cassian’s supporters erupted in cheers, as if victory were already within reach.
In contrast, Ashton’s supporters were intimidated by Cassian’s terrifying aura. At that moment, he seemed to command the entire arena, leaving Ashton momentarily overshadowed.
Just then, Cassian stepped forward. The moment his foot touched the ground, the arena floor cracked and fractures spread rapidly across the stone, as if the ground itself could no longer bear his weight.
“Ashton, I’ve watched your fights earlier. The things you pride yourself on come down to two points. One is your close–quarters combat. The other is your ability to break through your limits and grow stronger in the middle of a battle.
“Unfortunately, I won’t give you that chance. This fight will be a one–sided slaughter. Do you know what this is to me? It isn’t a life–or–death duel but my personal performance. And you’re nothing more than the supporting role. Have you accepted the fact that you’ve already lost?”
A faint, composed smile curved his lips as he advanced. His cold gaze fixed on Ashton while the crushing aura around him rolled forward with every step, leaving Ashton no path of retreat.
As Cassian closed the distance, Ashton felt the weight of an oppressive aura, as if he were facing someone who couldn’t be challenged.
An ordinary person might already have faltered under that overwhelming pressure. Their legs would have given out, their will to flight crushed, and they would even drop to their knees to beg for mercy just as Cassian expected.
But Ashton only gave a mocking smile. Not only did he show no fear, but the fighting spirit in him also surged to an unprecedented level.
The black flames burning in his gaze roared even more fiercely, as though fuel had been poured onto them, while his Drakeborne lineage reacted to the provocation. A terrifying aura burst outward from within his body.
Instantly, an invisible clash erupted between them, as if two colossal manifestations had collided. One took the form of an overlord, and the other a black dragon.
“Huh?”
Cassian’s steps halted. He clearly hadn’t expected Ashton to meet his gaze under the crushing pressure of his aura, and with such defiance,
At the same time, his brow furrowed slightly. For the first time, he sensed something strange–his bloodline power seemed to be suppressed.
He possessed the Overlord Physique, an innate trait said to appear only once in countless generations. His bloodline power had always crushed everything in its path. But now, he felt as if he had encountered something he could never overcome.
Cassin studied Ashton carefully before speaking in a calm voice.
“Your time to kneel and surrender is over. It seems you’ve made the wrong choice.”
