An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs.

From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable.

He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods’ plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.

After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining.

According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.

With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power.

Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher chance of claiming the title of royal heir.

However, Dustin wasn’t particularly concerned about that. What mattered most to him was the rumor he had heard.

If he could gather all five Dracan essences, he would stand a good chance of breaking into the terrestrial immortal realm. For any martial artist, it was the ultimate goal in life. Of course, Dustin was no exception.

The plane landed that afternoon. After a brief farewell to Grace, Dustin got in a car and headed to Dash Corporation.
