An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The initial assault proved ineffective, prompting the golden vines to launch another attack. The front end of the vine elevated, resembling a fully drawn bowstring.

After a moment of gathering strength, it struck down toward Aidan in the crater.

The follow-up strike demonstrated increased speed and force compared to the previous one.

Before reaching full power, the air itself seemed to tear apart, resonating with the anticipation of the impending strike.

The velocity and strength exhibited by the golden vines far exceeded those of the silver ones. Each strike carried a seismic impact as if the earth trembled.

Aidan noticed the approaching golden vines and chose not to confront them again. With a strong push from his legs, he moved sideways.

At that moment, the powerful strike of the golden vines hit precisely where he had been standing moments ago. The impact was thunderous, shaking the earth and creating a powerful shockwave. It resembled a gust of wind clearing away fallen leaves.

The newly formed crater sank several feet again, leaving a deep trench that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Aidan staggered back, shaken by the powerful force. As he looked at the spot he had just vacated, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate to have avoided a direct hit, which could have been fatal.

Although the persistent golden vines missed their initial target, they continued their pursuit. The vines transformed into a menacing whip, sweeping along the ground, ruthlessly lashing out at him.

In their wake, the ground lost a substantial layer, and debris, mixed with mud, flew toward him like projectiles.
