An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

In the stands, someone clenched his fists in frustration as he watched Azalea use the Elysian amulet. It had once been his prized possession, but he had lost it in a bet.

The loss stung, and the gambler’s fate seemed richly deserved.

“Madam Penelope, your guild has impressive resources. Even one of your disciples gets to use an Elysian amulet. It’s quite enviable.” Alloy’s tone was laced with subtle probing.

“When it comes to wealth and influence, the Celestial Alliance takes the lead. We only have a bit of heritage, “Penelope said coolly.

“You’re too modest,” he responded with a knowing smile. “But if this young disciple has earned your favor, she must be extraordinary. I’m eager to see how she performs.”

“Your disciples are no pushovers either, ” she said with a faint smile.

Cyrus observed the insincere exchange with a sneer. There was no room for all this pretense in the battle ring, so just get on with the fight.

“I didn’t expect you to have an Elysian amulet?” Veronica’s face was grim as she spoke with a harsh tone.

She added, “But it won’t help you win the match even with that amulet. In the end, you’ll still lose to me.”

She knew that Elysian Amulets usually had a limited number of uses. Once the spiritual energy inside was depleted, the amulet would no longer activate.

In other words, she only needed to intensify her attack to drain the amulet’s power. It might take some effort, but it was doable.

“Heh… You wish to defeat me? Let’s see if you have what it takes,” Azalea said with a faint smile. Her long whip began to move like a serpent.
