Chapter 2383
As Orion Foster’s voice echoed through the arena, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. All eyes were on Dustin and Easton as they made their way onto the stage, one after the other.
The final match of the top eight was shrouded in suspense. Both Easton and Dustin were considered underdogs, defying expectations to make it this far.
Easton’s victory over Sam Dawson, ranked ninth on the Legendary list, catapulted him to fame. Meanwhile, Dustin had defeated several formidable foreign opponents, demonstrating his incredible strength.
The crowd buzzed with anticipation for this duel.
“Who do you think will win this match?”
“Easton, probably. He’s a true disciple of Sacred Wyrm Summit and has mastered the Golden Light Curse Thunder Method and the magic talisman. He even overpowered Sam Dawson, who has the Tardif Sect’s sacred weapon. His skills are undeniable.”
“Maybe, but don’t count Dustin out. He’s a mystery—always seems to know more than he lets on. I still can’t gauge his full strength.”
“We’ll see soon enough if he’s the real deal or not.”
The audience debated back and forth, with some favoring Easton and others rooting for Dustin. Each side was convinced their chosen fighter would emerge victorious, but no one could say for sure until the battle unfolded.
As the match was about to begin, Easton turned to Dustin, giving a respectful nod. “Easton of Sacred Wyrm Summit. I look forward to your guidance,” he said.
“Dustin,” came the polite reply.
Orion Foster, acting as the referee, spoke up: “You both know the rules, so if there are no objections, let’s begin!” He then leapt off the stage, activating the protective shield around it.
In earlier rounds, the shield wasn’t always necessary, but now it was crucial. Orion knew he had to be ready to step in if it showed any signs of failing—a demanding task in itself.
As they squared off, Easton smiled at Dustin. “When I first saw you, I knew you were no ordinary fighter. I never expected we’d actually meet here.”
“I guess it was meant to be,” Dustin replied with a smile.
“Fate or not, I’m here to win. Let’s do this,” Easton said, taking a fighting stance.
“Then I won’t hold back,” Dustin answered, moving swiftly into action.
In an instant, Dustin’s hand flicked, releasing three silver needles. Two were aimed at Easton’s eyes, and the third at his throat.
Suddenly, a golden glow enveloped Easton, deflecting the needles effortlessly. The protective power of the Golden Light Curse was far too strong for ordinary weapons to penetrate.
Dustin, however, wasn’t relying solely on his hidden weapons. He closed in on Easton with a fierce punch charged with powerful energy.
Easton met Dustin’s blow head-on, and their fists collided with a resounding impact that sent shockwaves through the air. The ground beneath Dustin remained unshaken, but Easton was forced back, the golden light around him flickering.
Easton was visibly surprised. Even with the Golden Light Curse enhancing his abilities, he found himself at a disadvantage.
Dustin didn’t give Easton a moment to recover. He pressed forward like a relentless storm, his fists a blur of movement. The audience could barely keep up, only catching glimpses of his afterimages.
Easton struggled to defend himself. Despite the Golden Light Curse’s protection, he felt the force of each blow, his arms going numb under the relentless assault.
Realizing he couldn’t win in a contest of raw strength, Easton decided to switch tactics. “Thunder Method!” he shouted, unleashing a burst of blue lightning from his fingertips that struck Dustin’s fist.
A flash of lightning erupted, forcing Dustin to stagger back, his momentum broken.
“Interesting,” Dustin said, looking at the residual lightning dancing across his skin.
For the first time, he fully grasped the power of Sacred Wyrm Summit’s thunder magic. It wasn’t just physical; it could pierce through defenses and strike directly at the soul. Mastering such magic could make one invincible.
“Now it’s my turn!” Easton shouted, seizing the moment. Lightning crackled at his fingertips as he launched his next attack. A blue arc of electricity shot forward, aiming straight for Dustin’s chest.
