An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Lycas gripped his broadsword with both hands and roared. The sound cracked through the air like a thunderclap.

He sidestepped sharply and charged straight at Dustin like a raging bull.

The heavy broadsword moved like it weighed nothing in his hands. He swung it with brutal speed. Each arc cut

through the air with a sharp, whistling howl, as if it could slice through anything in its path.

The broadsword ccrashing down on Dustin with bone-crushing force, like a mountain falling from the sky.

Lycas threw his full weight into the swing. As the sword descended, the force of the strike stirred up dust from

the ground. It sent plumes of dirt in every direction.

He knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent. If he wanted a chance to win, he had to make the first move and

seize the initiative.

“Nice form,” Dustin said.

As Lycas launched a powerful, aggressive attack, Dustin remained calm and unruffled. With effortless grace, he

sidestepped without the slightest rush.

The broadsword whizzed by. It grazed his clothes and sent a rush of wind in its wake.

With a swift flick of his sword, Dustin moved like a snake dodging its prey. As he avoided Lycas’ attack, he thrust

his blade toward his opponent's shoulder.

Lycas reacted instantly. After a quick slash that missed its mark, the strike abruptly changed form and slashed

out in a wide horizontal arc.

The broadsword edge glinted in the sunlight. A silver streak whipped through the air as it raced toward Dustin's

waist with blistering speed and bone-crushing force.

Lycas didn’t even try to block Dustin's strike. Instead, he was going all-in on a brutal trade.

In his eyes, a stab to the shoulder would only result in a minor injury-nothing fatal. But if his blade landed, it

would be enough to sever Dustin's torso in half.

Lycas was sure Dustin wouldn’t dare take the hit. He would definitely avoid the strike.

And that was exactly what happened.

When Lycas swung his broadsword in a wide arc, Dustin instantly abandoned his attack. He pushed off the

ground and launched into the air to avoid the deadly strike.

At the stime, he swung his long sword. He brought it down from above in a whip-like motion and aimed at

Lycas’ arm.

The angle of the strike was tricky. Its speed was lightning-fast and was nearly impossible to defend against.

But Lycas was quick. He raised his broadsword and used the flat of the blade to block Dustin's fierce thrust.

A sharp clang rang out with sparks flying in all directions. It was like the toll of a bell echoing across the training

ground.

The force behind the collision made Lycas® arm slightly numb. He was taken aback.

He'd expected Dustin to rely on nimble, evasive tactics. But to his surprise, Dustin's explosive power was equally

impressive. He was far from ordinary.

There was no tfor hesitation. Lycas swung his broadsword and launched another brutal attack.

The broadsword was built for power, with each strike coming down heavily and relentlessly. Every swing carried

the potential to decide the outcof the fight. If he found an opening, even a light slash could seriously injure

his opponent.

The battle raged on. Dustin and Lycas alternated between offense and defense. Their movements were a blur as

they clashed with intense ferocity.

Lycas had been through enough battles to know how to play to his strengths even when the odds were against

him. That alone made him leagues ahead of Bryce.

The clash between Lycas and Dustin was a whirlwind of steel. It was too fast for most eyes to follow.

Both fighters made full use of their weapons’ strengths.

Lycas’ broadsword packed a punch and kept his enemies at a distance. Paired with his bold, sweeping strikes,

each blow landed with explosive force.

Dustin's longsword was quick and agile. It was perfect for switching up his attacks.

Combined with his unpredictable footwork, the two worked in perfect sync.

While it was still unclear who would cout on top, the fight had certainly been exciting. It left everyone

watching thoroughly impressed.

But as tdragged on, Lycas began to feel the weight of the battle pressing down on him.

No matter how hard he swung or how aggressively he attacked, Dustin deflected every blow with ease and even

countered with precision. At first, it wasn’t much of a concern, but now, Lycas could feel his stamina slipping.

His energy was draining, and the longer this continued, the more inevitable his defeat became. He needed to

find a way to break the deadlock and throw Dustin off his rhythm if he wanted any chance of winning.

Drawing a deep breath, Lycas’ eyes hardened with resolve. He knew he'd have no chance of winning today if he

didn’t use his ultimate move.

“Titan Breaker!” he shouted.

Gripping his broadsword with both hands, he lifted it above his head. A surge of raw, grandmaster-level internal

energy was channeled into the weapon.

In that instant, the blade glowed in a brilliant golden flare that shone as brightly as the sun itself.

“Slash him!” Lycas roared.

He swung his broadsword down with all his might and aimed at Dustin. The strike culminated his entire strength,

life essence, and energy.

As the blade descended, the surrounding air seemed to warp under the weight of an overwhelming force. It

created a turbulent, almost unnatural current.

was nothing more than a light breeze.

cleanly snapped Lycas’ broadsword in two. The upper half dropped to the ground.

finishing blow was effortlessly countered by Dustin.
