An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.

The feathers slammed into the shield. and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.

Dustin couldn’t hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster’s internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn’t anticipated it couldn’t hold up against Abigail’s phoenix flame.

Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn’t afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying.

“Glaring Wings!” Abigail wasn’t done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and thrust her hand forward.

The giant Dark Phoenix behind her flapped its wings and transformed into a streak of black light that shot directly at Dustin. The force of its charge was like a meteor crashing to the earth- unstoppable.

Dustin narrowed his eyes. He shot into the air with a quick push off the ground and narrowly avoided the phoenix’s deadly charge.

After missing its target, the phoenix wheeled around mid-air before charging at Dustin again with lightning

speed. It was as if the phoenix was prepared to go down with him.

“ArcMor!” Dustin formed a hand seal and unleashed his supreme divine power.

A massive, earthen-colored armor enveloped him, and the outer layer cloaked in the illusory image of a Black Tortoise.

The Dark Phoenix, wrapped in dark flames, didn’t hold back as it crashed straight into the illusory tortoise.
