An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Caleb stared at the three swords heading toward him and decided not | to take them head-on. Instead, he moved at lightning speed, which left a trail of afterimages as he evaded the attack.

At that instant, Sam flicked his fingers. The three swords that had missed the target immediately turned around and sped toward Caleb’s back.

Caleb raised his fingers, and the golden light enveloped his body.

The three swords hit the light but didn’t bounce off. Instead, they began spinning rapidly as their sharp tips drilled into the light, creating a shower of sparks. The once-impenetrable golden light now rippled slightly.

“Huh?” Caleb frowned.

He was surprised by the effectiveness of the treasures from the thousand-talon coffer. They were durable and sharp and seemed to have their own will, which made them difficult to deal with.

Go!” At that moment, Sam tapped the thousand -talon coffer again.

A red shadow shot out—it was a fiery red arrow. The arrow was made of an unknown metal, filled with energy, and surrounded by flames.

Follow on
Go!” Sam pointed at Caleb, and the red arrow flew through the air with a whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow transformed into a roaring fire dragon, its maw open and claws extended, charging at Caleb, “‘Stormcraft!” Caleb didn’t dare to take chances. He quickly formed a hand seal with his fingers and shot a bolt of blue lightning at the fire dragon.
