An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1205
With all eyes on him, Dustin suddenly lifted his blade and cut Ronald’s head off. Everything had happened without warning, and he did it without any hesitation.
With the slashing of his blade, one of the greatest leaders in the martial world was slain. He had been one of the best martial artists in the Balerno martial world!
Dustin’s actions were so swift that Ronald’s head was already at his feet while he remained standing. His expression was one of shock, fear, and, for the most part, disbelief.
Even until death, Ronald did not expect Dustin to dare cross the Martial Arts Union. To kill a person was a serious violation of their regulations.
“He… He really killed him? Am I mistaken?”
“Mad! He’s gone utterly mad! How dare he commit murder when the head of the Martial Arts Union is present? That’s outrageous!”
“How brutal! He’s trading life for life!”
“In all my years, I’ve never seen anyone challenge the Martial Arts Union like him! The brat is so ignorant that he doesn’t fear authority!”
After a short silence, the crowd broke into an uproar. All the martial artists present were startled by Dustin’s fearless actions.
As Ronald had joined the Martial Arts Union, he was one of them. That meant that he was protected by official authorities. So not only did he enjoy certain privileges, but he was also unbound by the rules of the martial world.
But Dustin had killed Ronald in front of everyone. His actions were a blatant challenge to the Martial Arts Union and the entire martial world!
“Oh no! Dustin’s offended people he shouldn’t have!” Josie’s expression changed as she became nervous. Though the powerful were revered in the martial world, some rules were not meant to be broken.
Especially those set by the Martial Arts Union. Everyone, regardless of how powerful they were, wound up dead once they were named in the Martial Arts Union’s assassination list. “Darn it! Dustin had been too rash! He’s brought trouble on himself by killing Sir Rhys!” Lyn was flustered.
Though Ronald was now dead, Dustin had landed himself in the Martial Arts Union’s bad books. He was going to find himself in deep trouble.
“You insolent, ignorant brat! Seems like you still do not comprehend how formidable the Martial Arts Union is!” Lance’s lips curled up into a sinister smile.
“Has the rascal gone out of his mind? How else would he dare to challenge the Martial Arts Union?” Toddy’s eyes widened in surprise.
The Martial Arts Union held the highest authority within the martial world. No one was able to go against them.
“Dustin! How dare you!”
After taking a moment to come to terms with what just happened, Woody jumped into a fit of rage.
“You have ignored our laws and murdered a member of the Martial Arts Union! I hereby declare that you are now a criminal! You shall be the enemy of the entire martial world from now on!”
“You monster! First, you killed my son, and now you murdered my brother in cold blood! I’ll never forgive you!” Quincey’s face was distorted with fury as he roared.
“Listen up, Three Guardians! And listen up, all you disciples of the martial arts alliance! Surround the criminal. Avenge Sir Reeds!”
At that, all the disciples of the alliance pulled out their weapons. The Three Guardians of the martial arts alliance showed up like ghouls. Their eyes were fixed menacingly on Dustin.
“Sir Reeds had been righteous and upheld justice his whole life. Now that he’s been murdered by a criminal, I will not sit idly by! Listen up, Skycrane disciples! Come with me and eliminate him!”
Theodore reacted quickly, raising an arm over his head as he shouted to the Skycrane disciples
This was the best chance he had to get his revenge on Dustin with a justifiable reason. He wasn’t going to let it slip past him.
“He’s a spawn of the devil out to wreak havoc among mankind! We Combat Priests should wipe out such evil entities to restore peace on earth.”
Father Orson, who had been silent the whole time, led a group of trained priests and surrounded Dustin.
“My Soul Reapers brethren, prepare to fight and avenge Sir Reeds!”
Lance raised his spear and gave out a deafening roar.
“Hear ye, disciples of the Nephrite Sun
“Hear ye, disciples of the Deathly Hurricane-”
“And hear ye, disciples of the Starry Arches-”
“Slay the criminal and avenge Sir Reeds!”
