Chapter 977 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âHey, you! Iâll let you live if you can withstand three of my attacks!â Magnus taunted as he lifted his sword.
âIs that so? Iâd like to see how great your skills are.â Dustinâs expression remained impassive as he went forward calmly. âDustin!â Emily grabbed his wrist.
âMagnus is much stronger than us. You canât possibly win against him. You better run for your life!â
âThatâs right, Dustin! The guy is terrifying! Youâre no match for him!â
Vanessa tried to persuade him against it, too.
âRhys! Stop making things worse! Bring Emily and the rest away from here now!
âYou canât handle the situation here!â Nathan shouted at him.
âExactly! Even Nathan canât win against Magnus! Do you think you can? Run while you can!â
The disciples of Azure Mist yelled at him to run away. Though they didnât particularly like
him, they didnât wish to see him dead.
âDonât worry. Itâs just Magnus. Iâm not afraid of him.â
Dustin was calm like there was nothing to be anxious about. He walked forward.
âDustin!â Emily still wanted to stop him, but the Skycrane disciples had surrounded them.
âOh no⦠Oh no. Dustinâs done for now!â Vanessa panicked as if she had already
anticipated the scene of Dustinâs death.
âThe dumbass doesnât know fear even when death stares him in the face!â Nathan looked
at him in frustration.
âOh, what a stubborn ass!â The disciples of Azure Mist shook their heads as they sighed
helplessly.
âHah! You are too full of yourself! How dare you go against Magnus? Youâll die soon enough! Disciples of Skycrane laughed as they watched enthusiastically.
âCome on then.â
Dustin stood with an arm behind his back. With his other hand, he beckoned at Magnus with a finger.
The act looked like a condescending taunt to everyone.
âIf you insist on meeting your maker, Iâll send you to him immediately!â Magnus sneered.
He launched forward like an arrow with a light tap of his feet. The speed at which he
leaped forward was shocking.
âScattering Radiance!â Magnus suddenly shouted.
Then, a shocking radiance burst from his sword, blinding everyone.
A glow seemed to spread out from the blade, expanding rapidly. It reached almost 10 feet.
in length.
At a glance, it was becoming like a giant sword!
âSo fast! And the glow from the blade is so blinding! Magnus used his killer move right
from the start!â
âThe rascal should be proud to have died by Magnusâ sword!â
The Skycrane disciples looked full of themselves like they had already won.
âOh no! Heâs done for!â Disciples of Azure Mist hung their heads low in misery.
âDustin! Move out of the way!â Emily and Vanessa were so shocked that they paled and
exclaimed in unison. (1
Dustin should not attempt to block Magnusâ sword, or he would certainly die!
âImpressive. But more style over power, Iâd say â Dustin stood still as he stared straight at
the blinding radiance of the sword.
Then, without ducking or moving out of the way, he punched the oncoming sword. Simple
and without any flairs.
As they came into contact, three explosions were heard.
On the first explosion, the radiance of the sword shattered.
2/3
On the second explosion, the sword itself shattered.
On the third explosion, Magnus himself shattered!
A deathly silence fell over the place.
