An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“I lost.” Emeret lowered his head and struggled to utter those words.

Though reluctant, he had to admit the gap between him and Glenn was too wide to ignore. Continuing the fight wouldn’t just mean defeat, but he might end up losing his life for nothing.

“You did well to withstand my strikes and still be standing,” Glenn remarked coldly before leaving the battle ring.

Emeret’s skills were decent, but they barely piqued his interest.

“Congratulations to contestant number two, Glenn Hadley, for his victory.”

Oron quickly announced the results.

In an instant, the spectators erupted into thunderous applause. Though the match was brief, the explosive clash had captivated everyone, especially Glenn’s overwhelming strength, which left a lasting impression in their minds.

If he didn’t draw his sword, things would have been fine. But the impact was nothing short of earth-shattering and unmatched once he drew it.

“What a pity.” Alloy shook his head in mock disappointment from the main spectator seat.

It would have been ideal if Glenn’s strike had killed Emeret earlier. The Sword Union would lose a genius, which could spark internal conflicts. That was precisely the chaos the Celestial Alliance would love to see.
