An Understated Dominance

Black Kong moved fast. Before Eduardo could react, he grabbed him by the neck and lifted him with one hand, as easily as if he were holding a chicken.

Eduardo’s breath caught, and his face started turning red, visibly so. He struggled wildly, kicking and flailing, but couldn’t break free.

Black Kong’s grip was like an iron vice, holding him tight.

“You…are so weak.”

Black Kong shook his head, his face full of mockery and disdain. Eduardo couldn’t even block one of his moves—and Black Kong had only used a third of his strength. Facing such a weak opponent drained his interest. Only the strong excited him, and only killing the strong could send a message to all the warriors of Dragonmarsh. Encountering someone so feeble was truly disappointing.

“Escape!”

Sensing danger, Eduardo quickly formed hand seals. His body suddenly shrank like a boneless cat, slipping right out of Black Kong’s grasp. He rolled away, putting distance between them, gasping for air as the redness faded from his face.

“Oh?”

The unexpected move surprised Black Kong, a hint of intrigue flickering in his eyes.
