An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Jude was struck senseless by Dalen’s attack. He felt his life essence solidify within him, and his body stiffened. He was immobilized, and his internal energy couldn’t flow properly.

The Shadow Citadel’s ultimate technique, Glacial Strike, could instantly immobilize its target. Despite Jude’s strength, he was still unable to escape its effects.

“What the hell! Jude actually got hit.”

“That has to be a fluke, right? After throwing wild punches for so long, it was bound to happen eventually.”

The spectators were taken aback as they watched Jude get sent flying by a single blow. To them, the outcome of the match seemed clear-cut.

Jude had spent the entire time toying with Dalen without launching an attack, so the hit should be a coincidence.

At a glance, it seemed like Jude had carelessly thrown himself into Dalen’s palm. But there was no denying that this strike changed the one-sided domination’s outcome.

As Jude’s body went limp, Dalen seized the moment to strike. He leaped into the air to catch up to the airborne Jude and slammed his palm from above.

“You-”

Jude’s eyes widened in surprise. But before he could say more, Dalen struck him hard in the chest.

His body plummeted like a cannonball and smashed into the battle ring with a thunderous bang. The impact left a human-shaped crater in the ground, sending dust and debris flying into the air.
