An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"W-What is this monster? It's gigantic!" Eyes widened in disbelief as everyone took in the size of the monstrous creature that resembled both a serpent and a python.

Nobody expected to find such a monstrous beast within the palace.

With its enormous body, blood-red eyes, gaping, blood-filled mouth, and imposing presence, a single glance sent shivers down their spines, inducing fear.

It didn't matter if they were a low-level martial artist, a divine-level martial artist, or a grandmaster like Aidan, they felt like they had come face to face with a formidable enemy.

Even the mutant wolves and Onyxclaw, previously engaged in frenzied combat with humans, halted their aggression.

They trembled uncontrollably, intimidated by the serpent's aura. It was a suppression rooted in bloodlines and a fear ingrained in biological instincts.

The black serpent let out a thunderous roar, and a row of bone spikes suddenly shot up behind its head.

In an instant, a violent gust of wind swept through, tossing sand and stones into the air. An overwhelming dominance radiated from its massive body.

Several dozen massive wolves nearby howled in agony and collapsed to the ground, with urine and feces flowing freely.

Even the silver wolf king, with its tail tucked between its legs, shivered and howled incessantly.

As for the Onyxclaw that was drenched in crimson from head to toe, it turned around as if it had faced its ultimate enemy and bolted away, disappearing without a trace.

The majestic king of beasts had been scared into a hasty retreat.

While the humans were not as perceptive as the monstrous beasts, they were still greatly shaken and filled with panic. The serpent's presence was just too overwhelming.

Its massive body stretched out horizontally, resembling a speeding train.
