An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Really? Since you’re so confident, I’ll be watching closely,” Alloy replied with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. The chance to mess with Cyrus was too good to pass up.

When Cyrus had sparred with Seth, he had been defeated by just one move. Since that day, he had lived in Seth’s shadow.

In other words, Seth had become the inner demon that Cyrus could never shake off-a haunting reminder of his limits.

As the tension brewed between Alloy and Cyrus in the stands, the situation in the battle ring had changed.

Caleb was engaged in an extended battle, and the strain on his internal energy had reached a critical point. He needed to maintain his Glow Incantation while using Stormcraft for his attacks. This combination led to a

rapid depletion of his energy.

In contrast, Dustin focused primarily on close-range combat. He relied on his agility and brute strength to unleash punches and kicks while creating openings. Additionally, he only used his internal energy to counter Caleb’s Stormcraft.

If Caleb didn’t change his approach soon, he knew defeat was just a heartbeat away.

“This can’t go on. I have to end this now,” he thought.

Aware that his internal energy was running low, he gritted his teeth and resolved to unleash his ultimate move.

“Stormcraft!”

Caleb formed a hand seal with one hand. With a swift thrust, a burst of lightning shot forward and expanded like a massive net to ensnare Dustin.
