An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

The following day at Sacred Wyrm Summit, the spectators had already arrived as the first light of dawn began to glow in the sky.

Key figures from every faction and major guild poured in, with elites and experts gathering in large numbers. At that moment, Sacred Wyrm Summit was livelier than ever.

To the bigwigs, the previous Group C and B matches were mere warm-ups. The real spectacle that would shape the future was the showdown among the Group A geniuses.
