An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Atlas conceded defeat decisively. However, even after he jumped out of the battle ring, the enraged Miles pursued him with his sword. He looked like he was out for blood.

“Hey! What are you doing? I already surrendered! What else do you want?” Atlas cried out in fear as he dodged each vicious strike.

He hadn’t expected Miles to go berserk. Miles was fighting with a relentless fury as if he were willing to go down with him. If he had known, he wouldn’t have provoked Miles earlier.

Atlas’ pleas fell on deaf ears as Miles’ sword continued its relentless assault. Each blow aimed at Atlas’ throat.

Upon seeing Atlas in danger, the referee finally stepped in. With a swift movement, he effortlessly caught Miles sword between two fingers.

“Contestant Number 34 has conceded. The match is over. No fighting outside the battle ring,” the referee said calmly. His commanding voice snapped Miles out of his rage.

Miles’ anger gradually faded as he regained his composure. “Sorry, I got carried away.” He quickly sheathed his sword and apologized.

Yet, he was astonished that the referee had effortlessly stopped his powerful thrust with just two fingers.

This unassuming referee was clearly a hidden expert. It was a reminder not to underestimate the monks of Sacred Wyrm Summit.

“Damn it! How did I end up fighting a psycho like you? This isn’t fun anymore. I’m out,” Atlas cursed and quickly stormed off.
