An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin didn’t flinch as the electric serpent charged toward him. Instead, he channeled his mystical energy into a spear and thrust forward. He was eager to test the strength of Stormcraft.

The true energy spear collided with the Stormcraft and unleashed a loud crack of thunder. Energy rippled outward and dispersed in every direction. Their energies collided with such force that neither gained the upper hand.

Neither Dustin nor Caleb gained the upper hand in this exchange, yet neither backed down. They continued to trade blows in a fierce, close- quarters fight. Each strike resonated like a drumbeat in a relentless battle.

“I can’t believe Dustin is holding his own against Caleb. This is unbelievable.

“Dustin is pretty strong, so it’s not surprising he can fight like this.”

“You don’t get it. Dustin is renowned for his lethal sword techniques. Yet, he’s standing firm against Caleb, who used Glow Incantation and Stormcraft, just with his fists. That speaks volumes about his cultivation.”

“If Caleb wants to win, he’ll have to use a Divine Talisman. But that technique is risky as it could hurt both of them.”

As the spectators watched the two clash in the battle ring, they couldn’t help but murmur among themselves. Everyone knew that neither Dustin nor Caleb had yet to use their killing moves.

Though the fight was intense, neither opponent would claim victory anytime soon unless they used their trump cards or tried to wear each other out.

“The young man named Dustin Rhys is quite impressive, but I’ve never heard of him before.” Kaden narrowed his eyes.

He focused intently on Dustin as he tried to discern the source of his abilities. But Dustin’s techniques were so diverse that he couldn’t identify any distinct lineage or guild teachings.
