An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"Huh? How is this possible?"

"Weren't we just saying that the Summit Shift Divine Talisman couldn't be removed? How did he tear it off like it was nothing?"

"Well, that's unexpected! What exactly did he do?"

Everyone was dumbfounded as their eyes fixed on the talisman in Dustin's hand.

The Summit Shift Divine Talisman of Sacred Wrym Summit was revered for invincibility. Its strength was likened to a mountain, seemingly impervious to human efforts.

Any endeavor to forcibly remove it was typically met with severe backlash. It was a lesson Laurel and Willow had painfully learned from their previous attempts.

Yet, Dustin effortlessly tearing the talisman off went against all expectations. It was truly baffling.

Ruby asked, "Wait, what just happened? It was torn off just like that? Looks like the Summit Shift Divine Talisman you mentioned wasn't that impressive."

She was bewildered. She had believed in the talisman's invincibility, but now, her faith seemed misplaced.

Dalen's mouth twitched, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

The power of the Divine Talisman was unquestionable.

Aside from the disciples of Sacred Wrym Summit, only two scenarios could explain how someone else could effortlessly remove it.

Either the person tearing it was far stronger than the one who made it, or they were well-versed in Pathfinder techniques.

There simply wasn't any other plausible explanation.

If Dustin could effortlessly tear off the talisman without receiving a backlash, then it strongly hinted at his mastery of Pathfinder techniques.
