An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Thaddeus was defeated. After risking his life and mustering his final strength for one decisive blow, Dalen effortlessly overwhelmed him.

Thaddeus had lost his will to fight. His body could endure no more, and he feared Dalen’s unpredictable prowess.

Despite Dalen’s youth, his cultivation was ten times stronger than Thaddeus’. Even when Thaddeus gave everything he had, he couldn’t penetrate Dalen’s defenses.

It was an overwhelming sense of despair. Even in his prime, Thaddeus wouldn’t have had the confidence to continue the match.

Thaddeus’ words prompted the referee to declare the final result, “Contestant Number 5 concedes. Contestant Number 19 is the winner!”

The arena echoed with cries of despair, curses, and insults.

“Dammit! What a useless ascetic priest. He couldn’t even handle a pretty boy. Such a disgrace.”

“Father Savier? He should call himself a jester! All talk and no skill. What a waste!”

“Screw you! You made me lose everything. Why don’t you just die already!”
