An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

While facing Truce’s powerful strike, Jeremiah remained calm. He didn’t even flinch and raised his arm to block the blow.

The shadowsteel staff crashed down with a resounding impact on his arm. Instead of the expected scene of broken bones and a flying body, the staff only made his sleeve flutter. He didn’t suffer any injuries.

Jeremiah stood still with a smile on his face.

“Huh?” Truce’s eyes widened in shock. If the earlier thrust had been jusť a test, this sweeping blow was delivered with full force.

He would have understood if Jeremiah had used grandmaster-level internal energy. But Truce didn’t feel any energy fluctuation from him. In other words, Jeremiah had relied purely on his physical strength to withstand the blow.
