Dustin was Dragonmarsh’s elite prodigy, while Poseidon was the famous royal god of the Hall of Gods.


    Every move they exchanged unleashed destructive power. Within moments, the area within a 300-foot radius was reduced to wreckage.


    Dustin wielded his true energy-infused longsword. Each swing unleashed a blinding re of light as if it could split the sky apart with the Celestial de.


    On the contrary, Poseidon’s tridentmanded the winds and rains. Each strike could summon huge rolling waves as if he were a god reigning over the forces of nature.


    Sword aura shed against walls of water and plunged the entire area into chaos.


    Warrick and the others watched with rapt attention. Their eyes were locked on the battle ahead as they tried to make sense of the chaos.


    But Dustin and Poseidon were moving so fast that their actions were almost impossible to follow. Their movements blurred together, and they could only catch shes of two figures constantly shing.


    Their strikes came one after another, and the fight moved from the sea to the shore and back again.


    Poseidonughed heartily. “This feels great. It’s been so long since I’ve fought this.”


    As the battle raged on, he only grew fiercer, and his stamina seemingly inexhaustible. He rode the waves with effortless grace and summoned storms with a mere flick of his wrist.


    “This bastard… there’s something off about him,” Dustin mumbled.


    During the battle, he couldn’t help but feel surprised. He realized Poseidon could draw energy from the sea and fought without a hint of fatigue.


    No matter how much energy Poseidon used, his strength was quickly replenished -like an unstoppable fighting machine.


    He figured this was likely Poseidon’s unique ability.


    Being one of the royal gods of the Hall of Gods, it wasn’t surprising that Poseidon had such extraordinary power.


    Dustin knew he couldn’t keep going like this. If the fight dragged on, it was just a matter of time before Poseidon wore him downpletely.


    “Conquest Breaker!” he shouted.


    Dustin seized the opportunity and unleashed his ultimate move. In the blink of an eye, his figure blurred and merged with his sword to form a giant white’ energy sword. Then, it streaked toward Poseidon with immense force.


    The giant sword radiated apocalyptic power. The sea churned violently before its path and parted like the Crimson Sea.


    Theyers of defensive water curtains in its path shattered effortlessly, like paper torn apart with a single touch.


    Poseidon’s expression shifted slightly as he recognized the threat and dared not take any chances. His trident whirled furiously and conjured a massive vortex before him.


    The vortex’s pull was terrifying-even fish from the sea floor were dragged into it, where they were torn apart by the violent spinning currents.


    Poseidon’s n was simple. Since Dustin has merged with his sword, he would grind them both to dust.


    Without any warning, Dustin’s giant sword plunged straight into Poseidon’s vortex with lightning speed.


    An earth-shattering boom followed immediately. It was like a missile detonation as violent energy erupted. It unleashed towering waves over 30 feet high thatpletely engulfed them both.


    The explosion not only sent the waves crashing violently, but the shockwave from the st also rippled for hundreds of yards.


    The impact knocked Warrick and the others to the ground. Though they weren’t injured, they were left looking disheveled.


    At that moment, they paid no mind to their own condition. Instead, they quickly scrambled to their feet to look back at the battlefield.


    300 yards away on the crest of the waves, Dustin stood there with his clothes billowing as he held his sword in one hand. He hovered in the air with a terrifying


    momentum radiating from him.


    In contrast, Poseidon had vanished from view, as if his body had sunk to the depths of the sea.


    “No way! Did Lord Poseidon actually lose?


    “Mulder asked. His eyes widened in shock, with disbelief on his face.


    After all, Poseidon was one of the four royal gods and the pir of the Hall of Gods. How could such a legendary powerhouse possibly be defeated by Dustin?


    “No. That is impossible. No matter how strong Logan is, he can’t possibly be a match for a royal god from the Hall of Gods.” Warrick frowned, and his face darkened with frustration.


    With Poseidon’s arrival, Warrick thought he could easily deal with Dustin. But to his surprise, the fight had been far more evenly matched than he’d ever imagined.


    Poseidon’s figure was nowhere to be seen on the sea’s surface. It was almost unbelievable.


    While Warrick and the others were stunned, Dustin’s face showed no triumph but a deepening frown.


    Though he’d knocked Poseidon into the depths of the sea, he could still feel his presence, which hadn’t diminished in the slightest. If anything, he sensed Poseidon grew stronger, like he was feeding on something.


    Dustin’s eyes narrowed in confusion just as a loud crash echoed across the waters. A figure shot up from the depths of the sea and stood on the surface.


    It was Poseidon. Butpared to earlier, he waspletely transformed.


    His face twisted with rage, and his body grew evenrger and more imposing. His muscles bulged more than ever, and his skin was now covered in ayer of blue scales that shimmered faintly in the light.


    What was even more terrifying was the pair of massive blue wings that sprouted from his back. They looked as though they belonged to a demon. After his transformation, his momentum intensified severalfold.


    Just a single nce from him sent shivers down Warrick and the others’ spines. Their hearts raced with fear.
