An Understated Dominance Novel (Dahlia & Dustin) by Marina Vittori updated 2025-26 - An Understated Dominance Chapter 2401

Chapter 2401″Glenn’s nine swords are all unleashed at once—no one can stand against that!”

“What incredible pressure! That sword force is terrifying!”

“It’s over! Dustin’s finished this time!”

As the Yellow Spring Sword crashed down, the audience held their breath.

No one anticipated that Glenn’s ninth sword would carry such immense power, as if it could shape the world itself.

“Dragon Sparrow!”

Sensing the danger, Dustin called out softly.

In the next moment, a bolt of purple light thundered down from the sky, slamming into the massive Yellow Spring Sword.

“Boom!”

With a thunderous roar, the purple light exploded, shattering the enormous Yellow Spring Sword and pushing it back over ten meters.

The purple light’s force lingered, knocking aside several other flying swords in its path.

Finally, it floated in front of Dustin.

It was a purple and gold divine sword!

“Oh my god! That’s the Dragon Sparrow Sword, ranked second on the Divine Weapon List! Am I dreaming?”

“It really is the Dragon Sparrow Sword! But isn’t that Sword Immortal Seth Hughes’s weapon? How did it end up with Dustin? Could he be connected to Seth Hughes?”

“Seth Hughes passed on, so it must have a new master. For the Dragon Sparrow Sword to accept him, Dustin must be a rare sword genius!”

The audience erupted with excitement.

A moment ago, they had all thought Dustin was done for. No one expected he’d wield such a legendary weapon.

Everyone knew of the Dragon Sparrow Sword by reputation.

Just a year ago, Seth Hughes had used this very sword to decimate the Dragon Guarding Pavilion.

That single strike shook all of Oakvale.

Now, with the Dragon Sparrow Sword in Dustin’s hands, facing off against Glenn, the anticipation of the clash was electrifying.

“This boy is definitely Seth Hughes’s disciple,” Alloy Marshall said, his expression growing serious.

If Dustin had inherited Seth Hughes’s true teachings and now wielded the Dragon Sparrow Sword, this battle could be anyone’s game.

“Defeat him, and no one will be able to rival you for a century,” murmured Cyrus Hadley, recognizing Dustin’s true strength. Though he knew Dustin was no ordinary opponent, he still believed in Glenn’s power.

If Glenn could overcome Dustin, he would reign unmatched in the martial arts world for the next hundred years.

“Give it your all, young man!” Penelope Solace’s eyes gleamed. Privately, she was rooting for Dustin.

“This is getting more thrilling by the second,” Katy Foster added with a smile.

These young fighters continued to amaze them.

In the ring, Glenn’s usually cold eyes now showed a rare glint of excitement as he stared at the Dragon Sparrow Sword floating before Dustin.

“You had a hidden card all along!”

“The Dragon Sparrow Sword—a masterpiece.”

Glenn’s gaze was fixed on the weapon with pure admiration. As a sword fanatic, his life’s mission was to collect the world’s most famous swords. With nine famous swords in his possession, the Dragon Sparrow Sword would be the crown jewel of his collection.

“If you care about winning, let’s make a deal. I’ll hand you the champion’s title, but only if you give me the Dragon Sparrow Sword. What do you say?”

To Glenn, titles and fame were nothing compared to this weapon.

He would even give up the martial arts championship and turn his back on the Sword Union if he could claim the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

“Do you take me for a fool?” Dustin’s voice was icy. “To a true swordsman, no championship is worth more than the Dragon Sparrow Sword.”

Glenn flinched, then nodded. “You’re right. I misspoke. Now, let me experience the true power of the Dragon Sparrow Sword!”

Dustin glanced at the horizon, where a fiery red sun was slowly sinking in the west. “Let’s end this with one move.”

“Agreed!” Glenn replied, his expression steeling.

The earlier exchanges had merely been a warm-up; with both now bringing out their ultimate weapons, the fight was about to reach a deadly conclusion.

“My move is called Dragon Slayer. Be prepared,” Dustin said, raising the Dragon Sparrow Sword in one hand.

In his mind, he pictured Seth Hughes’s final sword strike—a blow so powerful it could shake the heavens, dim the sun and moon, and split mountains and rivers alike.

With that fateful strike, Seth Hughes had wiped out the entire Dragon Guarding Pavilion and altered the course of history.

Today, Dustin’s strike would not only decide the match but also honor the legacy of Seth Hughes, the Sword Immortal.

“Nines Converge to One!”

Sensing Dustin’s change in aura, Glenn wasted no time. He raised his hand, and his nine swords shot into the sky, spinning rapidly before merging into a massive nine-colored sword.

The colors swirled around it, emitting a deadly sharp aura.

Even the stray sword energy was lethal, capable of killing anyone who came too close.

“Sky Splitter!”

Glenn shouted, commanding the enormous nine-colored sword to descend upon Dustin.

Instantly, the sky darkened, and fierce winds tore through the arena.

The entire stage shook, and Orion Foster, with three others, frantically poured energy into the barrier to keep it intact.

“Dragon Sparrow Slash!”

As the nine-colored sword hurtled toward him, Dustin calmly raised his sword and swung it toward the sky.

The movement was simple, unembellished, yet immensely powerful.

In that instant, all of Dustin’s energy drained from his body. He was drenched in sweat, his limbs trembled, and every ounce of his mystical power was exhausted.

“Swoosh!”

A purple sword light shot out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword, advancing steadily toward the Nine-Colored Divine Sword.

Initially only three feet long, the purple sword light grew by three inches with every meter it moved forward.

In moments, it had expanded to over ten meters, larger than the Nine-Colored Divine Sword itself.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the purple sword light and the massive Nine-Colored Divine Sword finally collided head-on.
