An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Axel had no time to hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed the overturned Dragon-Binding Net. Then, he used every ounce of his strength to pin Warrick down again.

“Get over here! We have to keep him restrained.”

As the net strained under Warrick’s sheer power, Axel let out a roar and pushed his cultivation to the limit. His veins bulged and blood pounded in his ears. He threw every last bit of strength into holding Warrick down.

For now, he managed to pin Warrick down, but the elite enforcement unit on the other side wasn’t faring well.

Warrick thrashed wildly, sending more than a dozen men swinging through the air. Some slammed into trees, while others crashed into walls. Within moments, the Dragon-Binding Net flipped over again.

Several elite enforcement units tried to rush in and help, but they barely got close before getting hit by their own airborne comrades and sent flying.

Against Warrick’s Divine Strength, they were utterly outmatched. The regular guards didn’t stand a chance.

Axel was the only one on the field who could match Warrick in raw power, but no matter how hard he fought, he couldn’t control the Dragon-Binding Net alone.

The moment Warrick overturned it a second time, he seized the opening and slipped free. He didn’t dare pause for even a second. Turning on his heel, he bolted at full speed.

Now wasn’t the time for a drawn-out fight. He could feel his strength draining fast.

“After him! Don’t let him escape!”

Unwilling to accept defeat, Axel tossed the Dragon-Binding Net aside and charged forward with his blade. If Warrick still managed to escape in this situation, then he had no right to call himself the captain of the enforcement team.

The pursuit continued.
