An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Amid the crowd’s intense anticipation, Thaddeus’ Palm of Justice finally crashed upon Dalen’s head with immense force.

A loud roar echoed through the arena as a tidal wave of terrifying energy erupted outward. The spectacle was awe -inspiring, and the pressure was unfathomable.

A sudden gust of wind hit the spectators. It caused their hair to stand on end and forced them to squint against the unexpected rush of air.

As the tension settled and silence descended, all eyes turned to the battle ring, where a startling scene unfolded.

They thought Thaddeus’s strike had sealed Dalen’s fate unless he dodged it. To their surprise, Dalen emerged from the attack unscathed, not a hair out of place nor a mark on his pristine clothes.

The sight stunned everyone as they struggled to comprehend what had transpired in that crucial moment.

Why was Dalen unharmed? Could Thaddeus have held back? Such thoughts raced through their minds, even as the lingering shockwave from their clash reverberated through the arena.

“What’s going on? That boy toy didn’t die?”

“That’s weird. He took both the Zenith Skill and the Palm of Justice head-on. He shouldn’t have survived that.”

“Damn it! Is this some kind of supernatural trick?”
