An Understated Dominance

Chapter 2270



Thaddeus' blade moved with blinding speed. It was so fast that it was almost a blur of blue light.

Unlike the previous techniques, the Zenith Skill and the Palm of Justice, this was pure physical power-extreme speed and explosive force.

The blade sliced through the air and tore it apart without making a sound.

"What an incredible speed," Crystal said, her eyes widening in shock.

The saying "experts recognize expertise "couldn't have been more apt. Though Thaddeus' strike seemed simple, it showcased terrifying speed and power.

At that moment, she truly understood the formidable nature of the ascetic priest.

Thaddeus' cultivation was profound. But even his physical body was honed to perfection. He was a rare martial artist who excelled both internally and externally. Such a person could easily challenge a grandmaster martial artist.

Before anyone could react, Thaddeus' blade was already inches away from Dalen. However, just as Voidcleaver was about to land, a white light flashed around Dalen.

Dalen had used the Evasio Incantation again. Thaddeus' blade merely caused ripples across his body without harming him.

Undeterred by the ineffective strike, Thaddeus immediately followed up with another slash aimed at Dalen's chest. The strike was fast and powerful. It was nearly impossible to defend against.

Dalen was again enveloped in a bright white light, which blocked Thaddeus' second strike.

Thaddeus, seemingly unfazed and prepared, continued his relentless assault. He began to swing his Voidcleaver wildly.

The air was filled with streaks of blue light darting back and forth, mixed with occasional bright white flashes.

The Evasio Incantation, renowned for its impenetrable defense, shielded Dalen from all physical harm-blades, bullets, water, and fire. Thaddeus was well aware of its formidable power.

He knew breaking through the Evasio Incantation with the Voidcleaver was no simple feat. His only hope lay in exhausting Dalen's true energy, leaving him unable to use it.

With a focused strategy, Thaddeus planned to overpower Dalen with a relentless flurry of swift strikes. As soon as Dalen's stamina faltered, Thaddeus would seize his opportunity.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Thaddeus, an ascetic priest, had pushed his physical limits to the extreme. He was capable of unleashing terrifying force without relying on true energy. His endurance was unmatched.

Unlike most martial artists who would falter once their true energy was exhausted, he thrived in prolonged combat. The longer the fight, the stronger he became.

Thaddeus knew the Evasio Incantation was no match for his relentless assault. He was confident he would eventually break through if he kept attacking fiercely. With this mindset, he launched a barrage of vicious strikes at Dalen.

On the contrary, Dalen was constantly on the defensive. He allowed Thaddeus to attack freely.

At first, the audience didn't notice anything unusual. They thought Thaddeus seemed to be exerting effort in vain.

As time passed, many began to sense something was wrong. The Evasio Incantation was undeniably powerful and nearly impervious in its defense.

Regardless of how powerful the Evasio Incantation might be, it had a significant downside. It consumed a lot of true energy, and without a deep reservoir, sustaining it for long periods was impossible.

Despite Dalen's skill, he was still young. If he continued to use the Evasio Incantation at this rate, he would be completely exhausted in less than half an hour. At that point, he'll be like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Why isn't Mr. Shade fighting back, Crystal? Isn't he at a disadvantage?"

Ruby asked, staring intently at the battle ring.

"Thaddeus' strikes are too fast and

relentless," Crystal replied solemnly. Mr. Shade is relying on the Evasio Incantation. If he tries to counterattack, Thaddeus will easily exploit any weaknesses."

"Thaddeus is insanely strong, like he never tires out. How can anyone withstand that?" Miles frowned. "If this drags on and Mr. Shade exhausts himself or can't use the Evasio Incantation, it's game over."

"That's the terrifying aspect of ascetic priests." Crystal sighed.

The ascetic priests balance both inner cultivation and astonishing physical strength. In a prolonged battle, nobody stood a chance against them.

"It looks like the handsome guy, Number 19, is struggling," Alicia said. "Even though the Evasig Incantation is powerful the ascetic priest is relentless. His strikes keep getting stronger, and it doesn't even look like he's using his full strength. He is such a beast."

"Ascetic priests are exceedingly rare, and each one is exceptional." Grace sighed. "We're fortunate that Thaddeus hasn't reached the grandmaster level yet, or it would be even more terrifying."

Thaddeus was halfway to becoming a grandmaster, yet his strength matched that of a Grandmaster. Even a regular grandmaster martial artist might struggle against him.

"So, are you saying the handsome guy will be defeated?" Aurora asked anxiously.

"Not necessarily," Dustin replied calmly. "Thaddeus is indeed formidable, but Dalen is no slouch either. They're just warming up. The outcome is still uncertain."
