An Understated Dominance Chapter 1938
Sebastian's attack caused Ryan to back away, huffing.Ryan had already gone mad. Instead of using true energy to protect himself, he took on the attacks head-on.Therefore, Ryan was injured all over by Sebastian's ruthless spear aura. The former was bloody and covered in wounds.When everyone thought the heavily-injured Ryan was about to drop to the ground, a shocking thing happened.Having no disregard for his injuries, Ryan rushed toward Sebastian after an angry roar. It was as if Ryan didn't feel any pain.More terrifyingly, Ryan's injuries were recovering quickly.They were all terrified by how quickly his injuries healed."How dare you! Let's see how I'll kill you with this one shot!" Sebastian wasn't deterred when he saw Ryan pouncing toward him. With a swing of his spear, a dazzling silver light burst out and illuminated their surroundings."A Stunning Shot!" Sebastian narrowed his eyes. He swiftly pulled his spear backward before thrusting it forward.There was a res

"What?" When Sebastian turned around, he was met with a gleam of light.It came at an extremely fast speed, bringing along a faint smell of blood.The person who made the move was Ryan!After being pinned to the tree, Ryan failed to break free. In the end, he grabbed the gun barrel with both hands and pulled himself forward by a foot.When he got close to Sebastian, he targeted his neck.His sharp nails were like blades of steel, extremely deadly."How pathetic!" Sebastian sneered when faced with the sudden attack. He punched right at Ryan without paying him any heed.An explosion sounded.Ryan's nails cut through Sebastian's energy armor. This caused Sebastian's entire wrist to be cut off.Blood splattered everywhere at that moment."Ah!" Sebastian was taken aback seeing his hand on the ground. Immediately, he let out a shrill scream.Sebastian never expected Ryan's nails to be that sharp. It could be compared to a divine weapon.Ryan had broken his energy armor easily."

Ryan roared lowly as an unknown black liquid oozed from his mouth. With his ferocious expression and a mouthful of fangs, he looked like a monster.Sebastian shuddered in fear after locking his eyes with Ryan. Instantly, the former's legs went weak."Hey, you! Where are you going? Save me now!" After seeing Dustin leave, Sebastian immediately shouted. Sebastian no longer dared to attack after seeing Ryan in a frenzy just now. Even now, a mere glance from Ryan would send shivers down Sebastian's spine. "Weren't you being so arrogant just now? You even said that I didn't save you on purpose. Thus, this isn't any of my business anymore. Face the consequences of your own actions," Dustin said indifferently.After all, Sebastian had bitten the hand that fed him.Dustin shouldn't have helped such an ungrateful person. It didn't matter to him whether Sebastian died or not, anyway."Stop right there! I'm ordering you to chase that crazy man away!" Sebastian screamed.However, Dustin

“You—" Just as Sebastian was about to give him an earful, a roar suddenly sounded.When he turned around, Ryan had already pounced on him.Ryan was using his hands and legs to run at lightning speed. With every push off the ground, his nails would scrape and leave deep marks on the ground.His nails were as sharp as steel blades."Someone! Save me! Don't let this monster get close to me!" Sebastian's expression turned horrified.As Sebastian was injured too badly, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only manage to drag his battered body backward."What are you waiting for? Move!" Sebastian turned around and shouted at Dustin.However, Dustin didn't move at all. He only looked at Sebastian silently."Dustin, don't act recklessly. Sebastian can't die here!" Jackson was a bit anxious."It's none of my business." Dustin remained unfazed."Fine. Looks like I need to make a move!" Jackson shook his head helplessly after seeing Dustin being stubborn.Thus, Jackso

Sebastian's head fell to the ground and rolled like a ball. Then, it came to a stop at the feet of the Emberson Steel's disciples.Sebastian's widened eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and bewilderment.Until his death, Sebastian never expected he wouldn't meet his end at Ryan's hands but would instead have his head severed by Dustin.Sebastian wondered why this would happen.Sebastian was the well-known Deadly Spear and was Yannick's disciple. With such a background, Sebastian's future was bright.Sebastian had gone to Deathlands to look for treasure, improve his cultivation level and reputation,He had it all. Thus, his life was supposed to be smooth sailing and the object of envy for everyone.He couldn't understand why he would be defeated in such a small village.Sebastian wanted to scream that he couldn't accept his fate. However, he couldn't utter a word.His brilliant life flashed through his head like a revolving lamp.From a young age, Sebastian was gifted and

Aidan felt unhappy after Dustin rejected him so many times. However, Aidan was also a proud individual. Thus, Aidan wouldn't continue to pester him.Aidan was sure Dustin would give in when he was on the brink of death."Don't just stand there. You guys should go and help Jackson." Dustin looked toward the few Emberson Steel's disciples and reminded them.At this moment, Jackson was engaged in a back-and-forth battle with the frenzied Ryan.However, Jackson's speed and strength were noticeably depleting as he used his energy. On the other hand, Ryan showed no signs of fatigue and continued to fight in full force.If they continued to fight like that, Jackson would soon lose."Quick! We should go and help Jackson!" The few Emberson Steel's disciples exchanged glances. After drawing their sword, they rushed forward."Wait! Use this!" At that moment, Grace tossed a golden rope to one of the disciples.The golden rope was unusually sturdy. It looked special from how it emitted a gl

The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard.Especially when the energy wave hit, many martial artists were thrown into disarray. Instantly, moans sounded throughout.Thankfully, Jackson and the others managed to get away. Otherwise, they would be heavily injured if they were close to the explosion spot.When the dust settled, everyone found that the village head's house had been destroyed. The ground was filled with debris and wreckage.Meanwhile, Ryan had disappeared along with the tree. The only thing left was the Draken Rope lying on the ground.Plus, the ground was covered with black crystals that scattered around like cobblestones.Dustin saw that those crystals shot out of Ryan's body after he exploded.The smell of the crystals signified that it was made from blood. A normal human's blood was usually in liquid form, but Ryan's blood had become crystals before he died.It was an abnormal phenomenon.Dustin always thought he was quite knowledgeable. However, everythin

Aidan's expression was thrilled. Without a care for his image, he immediately picked it up.All of these were precious crystals worth billions of dollars! It would be a good choice no matter if the person decided to sell or keep it."Eclipse spiritstone? This is actually an eclipse spiritstone?""Guys, quick! Let's grab them!"At this moment, many people recognized the black crystal on the floor and quickly snatched it.Although some didn't know what was happening, they also joined in after seeing everyone grabbing it."I saw this eclipse spiritstone first! Give it to me!""No way! It belongs to me now that it's in my hands. Let's fight if you're not content!""Fuck off! I'll kill anyone who dares to snatch with me!"A place with interests would always create war.After knowing the eclipse spiritstone's value, everyone started to seize it. They were following the law of the jungle precisely.The capable ones could get a few more pieces, while the weaker ones could only obtai

The crowd murmured among themselves as they looked at the broken broadsword and the stunned expression on Lycas' face."That strike was insanely fast and dead-on too," someone commented."I never expected General Derin's secret move to be defeated like that. It's unbelievable," another said."I thought General Derin could turn things around for us, but he still lost," a third added.Everyone knew how strong Lycas was. As a fully developed grandmaster with a broadsword, he was supposed to be unstoppable. However, at the critical moment, Dustin's strike shattered his broadsword.Lycas' loss was sudden and almost unbelievable. Some blamed bad luck and thought he could have won if things had gone differently. But those who truly understood what happened knew better.Even with Dustin's movement restricted and Lycas unleashing his strongest technique, he still pierced through the opening with near-impossible timing. That strike wasn't just lucky but masterful. It was a brutal display

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.The broadsword came crashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and seize the initiative."Nice form," Dustin said.As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he sidestepped without the slightest rush. The broadsword whizz

Bryce knew Dustin was strong, but this was beyond anything he anticipated. Though he had gained the upper hand early on, Bryce still believed his skills matched Dustin's.From his observation, Dustin relied on martial arts techniques and hit-and-run tactics. Plus, he didn't dare to confront Bryce head-on.He had assumed that as long as he found an opening, he could exploit Dustin's weaknesses and defeat him. But when Dustin finally stopped holding back, Bryce realized how wrong he'd been.It turned out Dustin wasn't just playing hit-and-run tactics. Instead, he'd held back the entire time to spare Bryce from an embarrassing defeat.The moment Dustin stopped holding back, Bryce didn't stand a chance. Even without special techniques, Dustin's raw power, speed, and reflexes were enough to crush him.The difference in their abilities was staggering, so much so that no amount of skill could close the gap.And it wasn't just Bryce who was shocked. Except for Nathaniel, who had already

Bryce's request for a fight heated up the atmosphere.Soldiers around the training ground started murmuring among themselves."Lieutenant General Gantz is a legend in our ranks. His combat skills are no joke—he's taken down countless enemies on the battlefield. I haven't seen him in action in years," one young soldier said with awe."Yeah," a veteran agreed. "Lieutenant General Gantz has been through countless battles, and his strength is unmatched. If he steps in, Mr. Rhys might be in for a rough time."After the fight earlier, the soldiers knew firsthand that Dustin was no slouch. Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily defeated the five elite soldiers.But in their minds, no matter how skilled Dustin was, he stood no chance against Bryce.Bryce was a grandmaster not just in rank but in skill, physical strength, and battlefield experience. He was stronger than any expert from the martial world.Nathaniel had once recruited several grandmaster martial artists to spar with them, but

"Your Highness, the soldiers under me are trained solely in killing techniques. If they hurt your guest, things could get ugly," Lycas said.He didn't say it outright, but the message was clear. If Dustin wasn't strong enough, he'd better stay out of the way, or he was just asking for trouble.Bryce didn't say anything, but the look he gave Dustin was full of contempt. How could a pampered young man like Dustin measure up to soldiers who've been through the grind? He figured Dustin was probably some heir from a prominent family who knew Nathaniel and was trying to assert his relevance."You guys are blind to greatness when it's standing right in front of you." Nathaniel chuckled and shook his head. He added, "If any of you manage to land a hit on Mr. Rhys, I'll pay out a thousand gold. But honestly, I doubt any of you have what it takes."At the mention of rewards, the soldiers perked up. Their eyes lit up with excitement. They were practically itching to charge at Dustin and g

During the meal, Nathaniel arranged for two women to accompany Dustin.Throughout history, even the greatest heroes couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women. Sometimes, a woman of extraordinary beauty could be far more enticing than rare treasures or high status.Dustin remained composed. He neither showed any enthusiasm nor did he deliberately reject it.As for the women seated on either side of him, he treated them with polite respect. He enjoyed a drink and the easy conversation with them, but nothing beyond that.However, Nathaniel saw it differently. To him, it seemed that Dustin was unimpressed by the women at his side.Considering Dustin's background, it made sense. A woman of ordinary beauty would never catch his attention. Nathaniel realized he would need to pull out all the stops. Perhaps, it was time to bring out his most prized companion and see how Dustin responded.After the meal, he led Dustin to his mansion's training ground.The midday sun blazed overhead

"This…" Dustin began.He hesitated on purpose and didn't give an immediate answer.Upon seeing him deep in thought, Nathaniel was convinced that Dustin was weighing the pros and cons. He leaned in slightly, his smile widening with anticipation. "You should know how much the Dracan essence means to me," he said. "If I can gather all the essences, it’d be like fate is on my side. My path to the throne would be unstoppable—and when that time comes, your reward will be waiting."As he spoke, his gaze stayed on Dustin as he searched for any sign of hesitation in his expression.Dustin looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, something unreadable flickered in his gaze.He pressed his lips together and spoke slowly. "You're right, Your Highness. But it wasn't easy to find the Dracan essence. I went through quite a few twists and turns. Besides, if I give it to you, it might put me at odds with the other two princes."He paused deliberately and left the rest unsaid. Still, the concern

The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui

"Give me a moment to think," Dustin said.Grace's words sent him into deep thought.After all, carrying the fate of Dragonmarsh was no small burden. First, he had to be tough enough to handle it. Then, he needed the resolve to accept what came with it. Once he carried that burden, it meant taking on a heavyweight.He used to act on his own terms and do things as he pleased without worrying too much about the consequences. But once the nation's fate was involved, everything changed.Not that he had many options.Dustin could either hide in Sacred Wrym Summit and hope Arion would protect him, or take a risk and absorb the Dragonmarsh's fate to push through his cultivation's bottleneck. Between the two, he was leaning toward the latter."I can give your plan a shot," Dustin said suddenly. "But we're still missing a piece of the Dracan essence. If we're doing this, we need to find that last one first."Only once all five pieces of Dracan essence were united could he truly wield the
