An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“For the fourth match, let’s welcome contestant number four, Caleb Foyer, and contestant number five, Dustin Rhys.”

As Oron’s voice boomed, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Dustin and Caleb stepped onto the battle ring. This last quarterfinal match was shrouded in suspense. Both contestants had emerged as underdogs in the tournament.

Caleb had gained instant fame after defeating Sam, who ranked ninth on the Legendary List. In contrast, Dustin took down two powerful foreign contestants in succession, which showcased his remarkable strength. Hence, everyone eagerly anticipated their showdown.

“Who do you think will win this match?

“It should be Caleb, right? He’s a chosen apprentice of Sacred Wrym Summit. After all, he has mastered the Glow Incantation, Stormcraft, and Divine Talismans. Even Sam, with the sacred weapon of the Dawson Clan, couldn’t defeat him. That shows just how powerful Caleb is.”

“Not so fast! I think Dustin is someone to watch out for. He’s like a hidden gem and knows a bit of everything. I still can’t tell what he’s capable of.”

“Well, it won’t take long to find out who’s who when the match begins.”

As they watched Caleb and Dustin take their positions, the spectators were buzzing with conversation.

Some cheered for Caleb, while others rallied behind Dustin. Each group tried

to sway the other and was unwilling to concede their beliefs. With their strong performances earlier, predicting the outcome before they clashed was impossible.

“I’m Caleb Foyer from Sacred Wyrm Summit,” Caleb greeted with a respectful nod.
