Chapter 2157 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Suddenly, Predator let out a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the entire battleground. But what was truly unsettling was that it sounded more like a beastâs growl than a human.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded before everyoneâs eyes. Predatorâs body began to bulk up. His muscles bulged and tore through his ragged clothes and shoes.
With another deafening roar, he propped his limbs on the ground and arched his back high. Thick, coarse black fur sprouted from his skin and soon covered his entire body.
At first glance, Predator resembled a giant black bear but there was more to his transformation.
As the black fur continued to grow, his facial features underwent a drastic change. The area below his eyes rapidly protruded while his teeth sharpened into pointed fangs. His hands and feet morphed into claw-like appendages that completed his terrifying transformation.
When Predator roared for the third time, he had fully transformed into a ferocious beast.
This beast defied classification as either a bear or a wolf. Its appearance was grotesque yet menacing, radiating an air of utter destruction. Just one glimpse sent shivers down the spines of all who beheld it.
âWhat⦠What in the world is this thing?
âHoly cow! How did a perfectly normal person suddenly turn into a beast?â
âI get it! This guy isnât from Dragonmarsh. Heâs one of those genetically enhanced soldiers from Streuqua!â
âBut arenât those genetically enhanced soldiers just boosting physical traits? How the heck did he transform into a fucking beast? This guyâs definitely some kind of freak!â
Predatorâs transformation left the martial artists dumbfounded and trembling with fear. They never imagined that a seemingly ordinary person could morph into a massive beast. Everyone present found the transformation terrifying.
âDamn it! Forget if heâs human or beast. Letâs team up and bring him down!â a martial artist shouted as he brandished his sword. But his rallying cry fell on deaf ears.
After all, Predator was already formidable in his human form. Who knew how much more terrifying he could become in beast mode?
Though no one rallied behind him, the martial artistâs shout caught the attention of the beastly Predator.
With another roar, Predator launched itself forward with a powerful push of its limbs, scattering rocks and crumbling the ground beneath its weight.
Moving like a blur, it streaked past the martial artist at such incredible speed that the surrounding onlookers couldnât even register his movement.
When Predator finally came to a stop, a bloody human head was already tightly grasped in its sharp claws. It was the head of the martial artist who had shouted earlier.
After a brief pause, the headless body slumped to the ground and stirred up a cloud of dust. The beastly Predator lifted the martial artistâs head high before opening its jaws wide and swallowing it whole.
The gruesome scene left everyone frozen in shock.
Predator moved so quickly that they. couldnât even track his movements. But what truly chilled them to the bone was watching him feast on human flesh. The sight of such bloody brutality left them traumatized.
At that moment, the martial artists finally realized why the assassins had suddenly backed off earlier.
It wasnât because the assassins couldnât handle them but because they were terrified. They were scared to face the beastly Predator and feared being mercilessly slaughtered by him.
Suddenly, someone yelled, âRun⦠Run for your lives!â
The once quiet scene descended into chaos.
Without a momentâs hesitation, countless martial artists scattered and fled for safety. They were known for their fearlessness and were always prepared to confront enemies head-on.
But now, their opponent was a daunting and terrifying beast. Facing this creature, they felt as small and helpless as ants.
The martial artists understood that fighting back seemed futile. Any delay in escaping could mean becoming prey. It was a threat to their lives, and the fear was almost unbearable to endure.
As the crowd scattered in panic, the beastly Predator launched another attack. With a powerful leap, it shot forward like a blur.
In a flash, a blurry figure streaked past. With one quick swipe, Predatorâs claws ripped through a martial artist running behind the group. Soon after, a gruesome mess of blood and guts was left behind.
Predatorâs strike was swift and precise. His strength had multiplied tenfold since he transformed. Once just a late- stage grandmaster, now he possessed the power of an ultimate grandmaster.
As a result, even a martial artist at the grandmaster level had no hope of survival when facing such a fearsome beast.
Dustinâs expression darkened as Predator claimed two more victims. â Damned beast! Stop your rampage!â he shouted.
After drawing Predatorâs attention toward him, he lunged forward with his sword. Predator roared, baring his sharp fangs, and swiftly lunged forward. His claws swiped aggressively toward Dustinâs chest in an attempt to maul him.
But Dustin didnât dodge. Instead, he raised his sword and countered Predatorâs attack as he aimed at his claws.
The clash of metal echoed as Predator was forcefully knocked back several yards. His claws dug into the ground, leaving deep marks as he struggled to regain his footing.
Dustinâs body trembled slightly, yet he effortlessly absorbed the impact. Glancing down at his sword, he frowned at the several nicks on the blade.
Typically, his mystical pure energy would make even an ordinary sword in his hands as effective as a divine weapon. However, the earlier clash had visibly damaged the blade, showcasing the razor-sharpness of Predatorâs claws.
Dustin couldnât believe that the beastly Predator could breach his defenses. He knew that achieving such a feat required an ultimate-grandmaster- level skill.
He was surprised by Predatorâs leap of three tiers in a single transformation. From a late-stage grandmaster, he became an ultimate grandmaster. Dustin found it truly mind-boggling. 12 It was the true definition of a beast.
