An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Jermaine was dead. His death caught everyone off guard, especially since they were confident he would win when he used the Phantom Reaper technique.

After all, the technique was a long-lost secret technique that was renowned two centuries ago. It was said to be unbeatable against opponents of the same level and capable of killing those beyond one’s rank.

The Phantom Reaper technique could bypass physical defenses and protective barriers to deliver a deadly blow straight at the target’s soul. Hence, it was impossible to withstand this attack without solid mental strength.

At first, everything went as expected. After Jermaine unleashed the Phantom Reaper technique, he completely dominated the fight without allowing George to counterattack.

But no one anticipated what happened next. One moment, Jermaine was confident and in control. The next, he was pierced through the heart and died on the spot.

The entire sequence of events happened so quickly that the spectators could barely process it.

“Dead… Is he dead?”

“What the hell happened?”

“It happened too fast! I couldn’t see a damn thing!”

The spectators stared in stunned silence at the body on the battle ring. They exchanged bewildered looks and couldn’t understand what they had just witnessed. Jermaine, who had been dominating the match, suddenly dropped dead.
