An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Thousands of golden whips lashed out with the force of a storm, and it was impossible to dodge.

The group led by Bailey launched their attacks to block and continually struck the golden whips. With each collision, energy erupted, followed by loud booming sounds. 1 Arion stood firm like a mountain. His body was enveloped in golden light as he swung his whips. Even though he was outnumbered, he still held the advantage.

Bailey and the others couldn't break through at all. A few slightly weaker gods from the Hall of Gods were forced to retreat with each lash and struggled to withstand the onslaught.

At that moment, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the attacks evolved from the Glow Incantation were enough to throw them off balance.

"I don't believe these things can stop me!" Bailey roared as his body began to change. His already large frgrew even bulkier, like a small mountain. His shirt tore as his muscles expanded, and his muscles becdense and rock- like beneath his skin.

Along with his size, he experienced an explosion of hair growth that turned into a thick, unruly coat that covered his face, chest, and limbs. Then, sharp claws sprouted from his big hand.

He looked like a towering black bear walking upright at a glance-strong, brutal, ferocious, and commanding. After his transformation, Bailey's strength and defense skyrocketed. The golden whips that once threatened him now barely scratched his skin. Instead, he effortlessly tore them apart with his bare hands.

"Go to hell!" he bellowed and charged forward like a tank. The golden whip blocking his path was effortlessly torn apart as he bulldozed his way through with unstoppable momentum.

As Bailey closed in on Arion, he threw a thunderous punch and slammed it against the golden light.

A deafening explosion shook the ground. The seemingly impenetrable Glow Incantation trembled under the force of the blow.

The resulting shockwave rippled outward and forced Bailey to retreat a few steps. After a brief pause, he stepped forward again, and his fists rained down like a relentless storm as he pounded against the golden light.

Each punch from Bailey reverberated like thunder, and his overwhelming strength shook the shimmering barrier. Under his relentless assault, the golden light surrounding Arion dimmed noticeably.

The sight sent the others into motion.

While Bailey unleashed his rampage, the other elites seized the moment and used their suprdivine powers to hammer away at the defenses of the Glow Incantation.

It didn't matter if Arion was Dragonmarsh's strongest martial artist. Even the mightiest would fall when they're up against the combined strength of these elites.

Seeing that the Glow Incantation couldn't hold up, Arion formed a single -handed seal and pointed at the sky.

Let the storm descend!" With a deep, resonant hum, a massive Eight Trigrams Formation appeared in the night sky. It spanned over a hundred feet and enveloped all the enemies within its reach.

"" Arion quickly formed another hand seal, and the formation spun at a terrifying speed. Lightning crackled, and thunder rumbled as an invisible pressure descended. It weighed down on the enemies like a crushing mountain and slowed their movements.

"Strike down!" Arion gestured down in a commanding motion.

The Eight Trigrams Formation blazed brilliantly, unleashing thick, purple lightning bolts as wide as a man's arm. Lightning rained down in relentless waves as countless strikes hammered the ground in an indiscriminate onslaught.

The enemies caught within the formation turned pale with fear as they hastily activated their protection armor energy. They had all witnessed the sheer destructive power of Arion's Stormcraft. Even the formidable Willem had been blown away without mercy, so who would dare to test their luck against it? However, not everyone chose to defend.

The transformed Bailey ignored the lightning crashing around him and kept pounding Arion's shimmering golden light with his fists.

Bolts of lightning hammered him relentlessly. Yet Bailey barely flinched as they struck him, and he continued his assault as if nothing had happened.

His ability to endure the full force of the Stormcraft strikes left the nearby fighters secretly amazed. Taking these hits head-on was something no one else would dare attempt.

He truly lived up to his title as the Grizz Lord. Being a ruler in the m underworld of Streuqua wasn't a title earned by just anyone-it meant he was a monster among monsters. "Break it now!" Bailey roared, and his fists hammered down with unstoppable force. Each blow was brutal and relentless.

After hundreds of strikes, the golden light around Arion finally began to crack. Bailey seized the opportunity and drove his sharp claws into the fracture.

With a mighty pull, his massive arms tore the barrier open. The once- impenetrable golden barrier now had a gap in it.

"Bailey! Lethelp you!" Seeing this, Willem transformed into a cloud of blood-red mist and weaved through the lightning before slipping through the gap. "Tto die, old geezer!" Willem smirked as he reformed behind Arion. Then, he opened his bloody mouth and aimed for Arion's neck.
