An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“This is interesting.” Dustin smirked as the dense barrage of swords came slashing down at him. In the blink of an eye, his figure dissolved into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

A storm of sword shadows carrying the force that could split rivers and overturn seas crashed down on the fishing boat where he had just been standing. The entire vessel broke apart in an instant some sinking into the depths while others drifted across the water.

“What? He dodged it?” Warrick’s eyes flickered with surprise.

Mulder’s attack just now had been a 360-degree attack. Once caught in its range, there was no chance to dodge-only the option to endure. He couldn’t understand how Dustin had managed to avoid it.

Did he just teleport?

“Hiding like a coward? What kind of warrior are you? Come fight me face-to-face.”

Frustrated after his attack missed again, Mulder grew desperate. His enhanced serum would only last for 15 minutes. If this dragged on, he’d collapse from exhaustion before Dustin even touched him.

Mulder needed to end the fight quickly.

But Dustin’s movements were too unpredictable. No matter how Mulder attacked, he couldn’t land a hit. Once the serum wore off, the consequences would be severe.

“You’re looking for a fight, huh? Fine. I’ll give you a chance to learn what it means to overestimate yourself.” Dustin reappeared before Mulder. He raised a finger, signaling for him to come at him.
