An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“What?”

As Caleb stared at the disintegrated Soul – Bind talisman, his expression changed dramatically. He hadn’t expected that a sword descending from. the sky would disrupt his plan at such a critical moment.

When did this sword appear? How had he failed to notice it?

Before he could react, the black sword moved again.

With a soft hum, the black sword seemed to have a mind of its own as it turned in midair and struck the Summit Shift talisman at lightning speed. The talisman in the air exploded in a brilliant flash of yellow light and scattered into tiny sparks.

Dustin finally relaxed as the overwhelming pressure lifted. He slowly opened his palm, and the black sword circled him before landing precisely in his hand.

“No wonder they call it a legendary Divine Talisman. I’ve finally experienced its power firsthand today.”. He gripped the sword with one hand and flashed a faint smile, but his expression turned serious.

While the Summit Shift talisman hadn’t fully immobilized him, it had slowed his movements and reactions. As a result, he probably wouldn’t be able to dodge the Soul-Bind talisman.

He had witnessed the power of the Soul -Bind talisman before. Despite his confidence in his abilities, he didn’t dare take unnecessary risks. Hence, he had chosen to draw his sword. This decision marked his commitment to the fight.

“Yet, you still managed to counter it.” Caleb shook his head. He set aside his usual nonchalance, and his expression grew somber.

Although Dustin wasn’t exuding any intense energy at that moment, Caleb felt an overwhelming sense of danger. The pressure weighing down on him was unlike anything he had ever encountered.
