AN UNDERSTATED DOMINANCE - Season 27 Episode 18

The rage in Matthias’s chest finally began to ease after he executed the corrupt officials. Given the current situation, Thornwick was doomed. It was only a matter of time before the scarlet mist consumed the entire city.

Nothing he did would matter with his current abilities, so he figured he might as well execute a few corrupt officials to vent his frustration.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. It sounded like a massive thunderclap, and the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.

“What the hell was that?” Matthias frowned.

“Your Highness, something is happening, outside,” Neville reported as he rushed into the hall.

“Let’s go take a look,” Matthias said.

Without wasting a second, he strode out the door

Looking up at the distant sky, he saw a massive energy vortex that had appeared out of nowhere. It spanned over 300 feet across and resembled a black hole, sending chills down his spine.

Below the energy vortex, a lone figure hovered in midair. Matthias was too far away to make out the face, but the figure was dressed in white.

“What is that person doing?” Matthias narrowed his eyes, confused.

He couldn’t figure out why that figure appeared out of nowhere and created that energy vortex. What could they possibly be planning?

“Hard to say, but I can tell you with certainty that this person is an ultimate grandmaster,” Neville said with a grave expression.

As a grandmaster martial artist, his senses were razor-sharp. Since he couldn’t pick up even the faintest trace of energy waves from that distant figure, he knew the other party’s strength was far beyond his own.

“So what if he’s an ultimate grandmaster? “Matthias scoffed. “What good can that do in the face of disasters both natural and man-made?”

That deadly scarlet mist was impossible to get rid of. Even if someone used tremendous force to blast it apart, it would reform within moments. Ultimate grandmasters might be powerful, but they couldn’t defy nature itself.

The massive vortex overhead suddenly spun faster, unleashing a suction force that tore through the air with a bone-chilling ferocity.

Standing in the courtyard, Matthias and Neville felt an invisible force pulling at them, and it was growing stronger by the second.

“What kind of supreme divine power is this? How can it affect us from so far away? “Matthias asked. His dismissive smirk vanished, and his eyes widened in shock.

They were at least three miles from the vortex. At that distance, the figure in the sky looked no bigger than an ant. Yet they could still feel that intense pull, which was simply mind-boggling.

“That person’s strength is beyond anything I’ve ever seen,” Neville said in disbelief.

Ordinary ultimate grandmasters were nowhere near that level. He had no way to measure just how strong that person might be.

The hum in the sky deepened again as the energy vortex spun faster. Within moments, fierce winds erupted across a six – mile radius, kicking up sand and debris.

The scarlet mist that had been spreading relentlessly like some parasitic plague suddenly seemed to have met its match as it was sucked straight into the vortex.

On the ground, the mist covering several square miles was being pulled upward into the vortex at an astonishing speed.

But from an aerial view, it looked like a tide receding. Within just a few minutes, the terrifying scarlet mist that had struck fear into everyone’s hearts had been fully absorbed by the vortex without leaving a trace behind.

High above, the white figure waved their hand, and the energy vortex instantly dissipated. When a gleaming crimson orb drifted down from the sky, the white figure caught it and tucked it away.

Matthias and Neville were struck speechless with shock at the sight. They never would have dreamed that the bizarre, seemingly unstoppable scarlet mist could just disappear like that.

The major crisis they’d racked their brains trying to solve through every conceivable effort had been effortlessly handled by a stranger. It was too shocking to process, and too surreal to believe.

“Neville, is this… Is this really something an ultimate grandmaster can do?”

Matthias asked, his voice trembling

“Impossible. No matter how powerful an ultimate grandmaster is, they couldn’t possibly have supreme divine power,” Neville replied, shaking his head in disbelief.

“So what level has that figure reached?” Matthias stared at him in shock.

“If I had to guess, that person has achieved the realm of terrestrial immortals,” Neville said, swallowing hard.

Upon hearing that, Matthias wondered who else could reach that level besides the Ancient Sage of Sacred Wrym Summit.

“Could it be the Ancient Sage himself?” he asked, still stunned.

“That figure doesn’t look like him. It must be someone else, ” Neville replied, drawing a long breath. “Dragonmarsh is full of hidden powerhouses. Maybe one of them finally stepped out to help.”

“Whoever it is, they’ve solved our major crisis. Thornwick is saved, and so is my future,” Matthias said, practically giddy now that the shock had worn off.

Just moments ago, he’d been ready to abandon Thornwick and make a run for it. The situation had seemed hopeless until that incredible turn of events.

A terrestrial immortal-level expert had somehow appeared out of nowhere and effortlessly resolved the entire city’s crisis with supreme divine power. Matthias couldn’t believe his luck.
