An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

The phoenix phantom blazed in brilliant red, which radiated like the sun. Its wings appeared almost lifelike and glowed with an otherworldly light.

Then, it emitted a piercing cry as it confronted the descending golden giant sword. With a fierce flap of its wings, it shot upward and collided head -on with the sword.

Under the watchful eyes of the spectators, the red light met the golden light in a spectacular clash.

With a loud boom, the ground trembled, and the battle ring quaked beneath them. When the lights collided, an explosive wave of energy surged outward like a tidal wave and crashed against the protective barrier encircling the ring.

The barrier’s blue light flared as it trembled violently and sent out ripples in every direction. It looked like it might shatter at any moment.

Upon seeing that, Oron quickly rushed toward the formation’s core. He immediately channeled his energy to stabilize the protective barrier. He knew it wouldn’t last long if Glenn and Emeret continued to fight like that.

“What terrifying power! Is this what top -tier experts are capable of? Incredible!

“I knew Glenn was strong, but who would have guessed this unknown Emeret could display such ferocity? It’s shocking!”

“That’s for sure. Every Sword Union disciple is in a league of their own.”

The intense clash in the battle ring sparked a wave of chatter among the spectators.
