An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Titus didn’t finish off Aldrian after knocking him out. Instead, he stepped back and looked at Oron.

Oron nodded and quickly announced the match’s result.

The spectators erupted into applause. They had watched the fight closely and saw that Aldrian’s arrogance had led to his defeat.

Instead of focusing on the fight, he flirted with his fans, which left him vulnerable. So, Titus seized the opportunity with relentless aggression.

With their skills evenly matched, gaining the upper hand increased the chances of winning. Titus’ approach was fierce and relentless. He focused solely on delivering powerful punches without worrying about defense, energy consumption, or flashy moves.

Aldrian was forced to retreat and couldn’t find any opportunity to counterattack. By the time he realized his dire situation and tried to use his ultimate move despite his injuries, it was already too late to turn the tide.

At that point, he lacked the momentum and fighting spirit. Although he managed to execute his ultimate move, it wasn’t enough to turn the fight in his favor.

Titus didn’t give Aldrian a chance to showcase his abilities. He powered through it and ended the fight decisively. Though he sustained some minor injuries, they were superficial and easily treated with Haemoplenish and a bandage.

His smart approach was commendable. Every contestant who made it into the top 32 was strong, and any mistake could lead to defeat.

Aldrian’s outcome was a stark reminder to all the contestants that one should never underestimate their opponent, or they might end up in a humiliating defeat.
