An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Die!” the nine Judes roared in unison as they attacked Dalen.

The clones flashed across the battle ring. They wove in and out, blurring the line between reality and illusion. It was impossible to tell which was the real one.

With his mastery of the Spectral Sprint technique, Jude was already hard to follow. And he became nearly impossible to track when he used the Spectral Clone technique.

Dalen quickly channeled his internal energy to form a white barrier around himself. Just as the shield materialized, a relentless storm of punches rained down from every direction. Each blow sent ripples through the barrier.

As the punches rained like a torrential downpour, Dalen’s barrier shook like a boat caught in a fierce storm and threatened to break at any moment.

“Do you think you can stop me? I’ll rip you to shreds.” Jude vented his pent-up rage as he threw more punches.

As a renowned master on the Legendary List, it was embarrassing to be injured by an unknown rookie. If he didn’t reclaim his honor right then, how could he hope to establish himself in the martial world again?

While Jude unleashed his relentless attacks, Dalen didn’t rush to counter. Instead, he focused on channeling his internal energy to strengthen his protective barrier.

Jude’s countless clones were a major problem. They made it impossible for Dalen to identify the real one.

Every time a clone or the real Jude threw a punch, they disappeared quickly, and Dalen had no chance to counterattack. At this rate, he wouldn’t last long, no matter how strong he was.
