Ashton was clearly losing ground. His stamina and spiritual energy had already been nearly exhausted in the earlier exchanges, and there was no way he could recover in such a short time.
At the same time, his body continued to suffer from backlash. His limbs felt unbearably heavy, slowing his movements and weakening his strength. At this point, he was fighting purely through sheer willpower.
Cassian let out a cold snort. “You’re way out of your league.”
With a roar, he abandoned all restraint. His Overlord Physique bloodline flared to life as he pressed the attack, leaving Ashton no chance to turn the fight around.
His eyes turned vicious as he gathered every ounce of strength and shouted, “Dominion Seal!”
A terrifying killing intent surged outward as the seal manifested in the air, forming a massive crushing force that descended directly toward Ashton.
Ashton’s eyes widened as he stopped Leona and Faye from intervening. Instead of retreating, a surge of excitement rushed through him. This was exactly the brink of life and death he had been seeking.
Without hesitation, he drove every remaining fragment of strength through his body and unleashed another Sixfold Draconic Fist.
The two forces collided like speeding stars, and the impact erupted across the arena in a chain of explosions.
But this time, the Dominion Seal displayed overwhelming power. It shattered Ashton’s attack and crashed straight into him.
The blow landed with crushing force. Old wounds split open across his body as he was blasted out of the air and slammed into the ground, crimson blood spraying everywhere. His aura faltered and nearly disappeared.
Everyone within Terminus Cliff felt their hearts tighten. Those supporting Ashton were overwhelmed with dread and anxiety.
“Mr. Gray… Has he lost?”
“How could this happen? I don’t believe it.”
Several women’s eyes filled with tears as their voices choked with emotion.
“That’s great. The outcome is clear, and the victor has been decided. The King of Javonbury can only be Cassian, the Lowery family’s appointed heir. It was never going to be Ashton. The path to this moment may have been complicated, but the ending was already determined.”
“Ashton tried to claim Javonbury. Death was always how it was going to end. That’s the price of his arrogance.”

“Javonbury still belongs to us.”
The influential figures who supported Cassian were all smiling with relief, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted from their shoulders.
“Excellent.”
Jaden finally relaxed his clenched fists and looked toward Lawrence with a smug expression before letting out a mocking laugh.
“Lawrence, your successor fought well, but he’s a dead man now. The Legion also dies with him. According to our wager, it’s time for you to cut off your arm.”
Thomas chimed in. “Lawrence, hand over the Sovereign Silver Spear. From this moment forward, it will belong to the Empyrean Sentinel.”
