An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

When Jeremiah looked at Truce, he burst into laughter. His eyes burned with a fierce, primal hunger, like a predator spotting the perfect prey.

He didn’t say anything. With a powerful kick, he transformed into a blur and charged toward Truce with a frightening speed.

“Bold fool! You’re sealing your own doom!” When Truce saw Jeremiah’s unyielding defiance, he roared and threw a powerful punch.

With his Celestial Aegis armor protecting him, Truce’s defense was impenetrable. His speed and strength were also enhanced.

This punch might have looked ordinary, but it packed a punch many times stronger than his previous Banisher Technique.

While charging forward with blinding speed, Jeremiah couldn’t evade and crashed straight into Truce’s fist. At the same time, his razor-sharp claws slashed across Truce’s chest.

With a thunderous explosion and the resounding clash of metal, Jeremiah was sent flying seven or eight yards by the devastating Zenith Punch. His chest caved in, and his scales shattered, leaving him looking badly battered.

In contrast, Truce was also knocked back a few steps. The golden light on his body flickered briefly but quickly returned to normal.

“Great hit!”

The spectators erupted in excitement as they watched Jeremiah get blasted away. Applause and cheers filled the venue.

The Celestial Aegis truly lived up to its name as the invincible armor. Even though Jeremiah could cut through shadowsteel with his claws, his strikes had no effect on the golden armor.
