An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Step forward, and you’re dead!”

Facing the onslaught of desperate assassins, Dustin showed no mercy.

With a swing of his long sword, a dazzling sword aura swept through the darkness like a crescent moon and briefly illuminated the night sky.

The assassins only saw a flash of white light and instinctively stopped in their tracks. When the brilliance faded, those at the front stood frozen as if struck by a paralysis spell.

A moment later, heads tumbled to the ground, like ripe fruit falling from a tree. The headless bodies stood upright for two seconds before collapsing, blood splattering everywhere.

The gruesome sight shocked everyone.

They exchanged uneasy glances and were hesitant to move forward. No one had anticipated Dustin’s sword to be so fast that the fallen couldn’t even defend themselves.

The assassins who had just been killed were among the elites. Yet, none of them could block even a single strike. The difference in strength was clear.

“What are you standing around for? Kill him, and the rewards are yours!” Hank shouted.

“Kill him!”

Reinvigorated by the promise of riches, they all charged forward with fearless determination.

“Reckless fools.” Dustin’s expression turned cold. He had no intention of holding back anymore.

He swung his sword in quick, successive movements and sent out sharp sword auras that struck down the desperate assassins. But for every enemy he killed, more would charge toward him in an unending onslaught.
