Chapter 1336

Author: Marina Vittori
"The Iceheart Lotus and the Emerald Corolla," Dustin listed the herbs he needed.

The Welch family was a notch above the Swanson family in terms of power and influence. As long as they put some effort into it, they should be able to get their hands on those herbs.

"Young man, you've got quite the appetite for good things, haven't you? The herbs you mentioned are precious herbs that are extremely valuable! Aren't you a bit greedy to be asking for three precious herbs in return for a formula?"

Joanne's brow knitted together in displeasure.

"I can't say the same for other formulas, Mrs. Welch. But the formula for Dew Balm is definitely worth as much. The profit it can bring the Welch family certainly exceeds the value of those herbs," Dustin guaranteed.

"Is that so?" Joanne's gaze on Dustin was sharp as she tried to read his expression.

However, there wasn't a hint of guilt in his eyes. He simply looked back at her boldly. And that was enough to tell Joanne that he wasn't lying.

    "I'm sorry, Dustin," Eleanor remorsefully said when they reached the gates. "The Dragon Panax should have been a gift. I didn't expect my mother to pull something like that and ruin my plan.""There is no need to apologize, Ms. Welch. Without your help, I would never have obtained the Dragon Panax, nor would I have been able to strike a deal with your mother. "This is the best outcome I could have asked for." Dustin chuckled.It was not a loss for him since he got the three precious herbs in exchange for a mere formula."You're alright with this?" Eleanor perked up."Of course." Dustin nodded, smiling."Hehe! I really like you, Dustin. You're a friend I'd like to keep!"Eleanor smiled, showing off her dimples. "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Come on, I know a restaurant that serves really good food. Let's go!"With that, she dragged Dustin into her car.Just then, her phone started to ring. As she answered the call, a deep voice was heard saying, "Ms. Welch, we've got

    Ezra was a typical player who would never change his ways. Eleanor should consider herself lucky for discovering his true colors before they got married. Otherwise, it would have been too late."Of course, I know that I should let go. But not without making him pay first!" Eleanor gritted her teeth, full of resentment."How dare he treat me like this? I'm not letting him off easily! "I'll make him regret messing with me! I'll make him understand that losing me is the biggest loss of his god-damned life!""What do you have in mind?" Dustin questioned."Since he's cheating on me with other women, I'll get myself a man. I'll humiliate and piss him off!" Eleanor sniffled. All of a sudden, her gaze landed on Dustin. "You'll be my boyfriend from now on, Dustin. I'll show him that he isn't the only one who can mess around!""What?" Dustin was startled. "Are you kidding, Ms. Welch? We barely know each other.""So what? Do you think I'm not good enough for you?" Eleanor huffed."I'

    When the door was kicked open, everyone was stunned and instinctively looked over.A fashionably dressed and sweet-looking Eleanor stood at the door. She walked in with an air of indifference. Dustin trailed in behind her casually."Eleanor?""Ms. Welch?"When they saw who it was, everyone's expression changed. Especially Ezra, who immediately withdrew his hand from the lady's waist as if he was electrocuted. Then, he stood up and forced a smile. "Eleanor, why are you here?""What, you can be here, and I can't?" Eleanor glanced at the lady before fixing her gaze on Ezra.Though she had mentally prepared herself, it still angered her to see the cheating couple behave so intimately."Sure you can! But why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have made arrangements for you," Ezra said with a smile."No need. I'm just here to have a look."As Eleanor spoke, her gaze trailed over to the lady on the couch, who looked nervous. Eleanor asked casually, "Who's this beside you? I

    The most infuriating thing was that Eleanor showed up in front of Ezra and her friend with benefits! That was a blatant provocation!"Eleanor, why have I never met this best friend of yours?" Ezra took a deep breath to suppress his anger."Do I need your permission to have friends now?" Eleanor asked flatly. "Besides, you have some girl friends whom I've never met before, too.""I—" Ezra wanted to retort but found nothing he could say. He knew what this was about now. This woman was intentionally pissing him off to get back at him."What a rare occasion that we're all gathered here today, Eleanor. Here, have a drink."Seeing that things were starting to look ugly, Sheehan forced a smile and tried to diffuse the situation."I don't drink." Eleanor refused frostily."Oh, that's alright. You can just have some fruit juice, then. Anything that suits your taste."Sheehan chuckled deferentially before turning to give a waiter some orders. A while later, the waiter returned with a

    "Dustin, they're planning something. You can just ignore them," Eleanor swiftly advised Dustin against it.She had volunteered herself because she was sure Sheehan wouldn't dare try anything dirty with her. But if it was Dustin, she couldn't be sure that they wouldn't make a fool out of him."Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Dustin smiled at Eleanor before looking at Sheehan. "How should I assist you, Mr. Crock?""It's easy. I need a drop of your blood and a few strands of your hair. After that, just wait for my cue." Sheehan grinned."Sure." Dustin nodded and pulled out a silver needle to prick his index finger. Then, he squeezed a drop of his blood into an empty glass.Next, he plucked a few strands of hair and dropped them into the cup. "Will this do?" he asked."Yes, this will do." Sheehan grinned impishly and gave Ezra a look.Ezra nodded with a smile and relaxed on the couch, looking like he was ready to enjoy a show. He knew very well what Sheehan was capable of

    "Don't worry, Eleanor, we're just having fun. We won't do anything to him," Ezra soothed."Hmph! You'd better not!" Eleanor frowned but held herself backShe was just worried that she might hurt Dustin if she acted rashly."Hey Crock, is he truly under your control now?" one of the ladies asked."Of course!" Sheehan grinned arrogantly. "He's nothing more than a walking corpse now. He doesn't feel pain and won't have any memories of what's happening."He will do whatever I ask without questioning and never remember doing it after this.""Really? Well, can you get him to hit himself, then?" the lady asked eagerly."Sure." Sheehan smirked as he turned to Dustin and ordered, "Now, slap yourself across the face with your hand.""Sheehan! You—" Eleanor was just about to stop them, but Dustin had already lifted his hand. Then, under the astonished looks of everyone present, he slapped Sheehan.The slap sent Sheehan staggering backward. He felt the world spinning, and blood bega

    "Damn it! What's going on? Has he gone mad?"Ezra's brows were tightly knit as he looked at Dustin, who looked like he had been possessed. But Ezra dared not go near him because he was afraid he'd be slapped too.Ezra quickly shouted, "Sheehan! The guy's gone mad! Quick! Break the spell!""Ter-ter-terminate!"Sheehan promptly tore the talisman off Dustin's chest as he endured the immense pain he was in. The next moment, Dustin shuddered and stopped moving.Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally over.Damn it! The bastard truly had the strength of a bull once he lost control. No ordinary man could hold him back!"What happened?" After taking several deep breaths, Dustin slowly opened his eyes. With a look of confusion on his face, he asked, "What just happened?"He looked around him, looking bewildered. "Hey … What happened to all your faces?"The few young men who had been slapped gritted their teeth in annoyance. Though they were fuming inwardly, they co

    "Alright, that's it for today." Eleanor stood up slowly, glanced at Ezra, and deliberately said, "I'm going to have lunch with Dustin. We'll get going now. You guys have fun." As she said that, she held Dustin's arm and sashayed out of the VIP room.The people left behind looked at each other, upset. The good mood earlier had been ruined completely."Sheehan, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Ezra checked his injuries and realized that Sheehan was in bad shape. His face had been disfigured. Originally, he was already not good-looking, but now he looked worse."Fuck! That bastard was vicious! I've never been humiliated this badly!" Sheehan gritted his remaining teeth in anger."I just wanted you to play a trick on that guy. Who knew you'd be embarrassing yourself instead?" Ezra shook his head. Sheehan shouldn't have embarrassed himself by showing off if he wasn't that skilled."That's weird. The occult spells that I used to control others would always work. I don't kno

    Austin's expression also turned serious as he saw the doubt in Dustin's eyes. He knew Dustin wouldn't worry over nothing.There were many strange beings in Streuqua, including vampires, werewolves, and the like. These supernatural species were notoriously hard to kill. Even after being decapitated, they weren't necessarily dead.Austin wasn't sure if Poseidon had that kind of ability. After all, the Hall of Gods and its so-called royal gods were still a mystery to most people in West Lucozia.To play it safe, they needed to recover Poisedon's head for their own peace of mind.Out on the water, Jaxon led a team of soldiers and ship crews to comb the sea in search of Poisedon's severed head.At the docks, all eyes turned to Warrick, Mulder, and the others. They had been tied up and were now being dragged before Dustin and Austin one by one.Warrick looked pale, but there was a certain defiance in his eyes. He knew his fate was sealed. After Dustin killed Poseidon, Warrick knew his

    Moments later, the once-turbulent sea finally calmed. All that remained was a dense cloud of steam. Like a giant beast, it slowly drifted across the water, as if telling the tale of the heart-pounding battle that had just taken place.Dustin stood on the surface of the sea with the Celestial Blade in hand. His face was grim as he looked ahead. His clothes were torn, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. Blood streamed from his wounds and dyed the water beneath him red.Suddenly, a headless corpse floated to the surface. Covered in blue scales, it had torn, ragged wings on its back. The body was riddled with gaping wounds as the dark blue blood seeping from it dissipated into the water.The body belonged to Poseidon."H-He's dead? How is that possible?"Looking at the headless corpse floating on the sea, Warrick and the others couldn't help but stare in shock. They never imagined Dustin could slay one of the world's mightiest royal gods with a single blow. If they hadn'

    Poseidon slowly rose from the seawater, his wound now fully healed. A flicker of madness flashed in his eyes. The severe injury he just sustained not only failed to make him retreat but instead ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.He sneered. "Logan, you've surprised me. But you're still going to die today."Poseidon spun his trident wildly, and the already turbulent sea grew even more violent. The waters swirled around him and formed a massive vortex. It expanded rapidly and soon reached nearly 1,000 feet wide. The surrounding waters were sucked in with terrifying force.The suction was so powerful that even Warrick, Mulder, and the others, watching from a distance, had to brace themselves to avoid being pulled in."Hmm?"Dustin frowned as he felt an overwhelming pressure closing in. The force of the swirling vortex before him was terrifying, as if it could swallow everything in its path. But he didn't flinch. In a flash, he launched forward like a streak of

    Poseidon scoffed. "You're so full of yourself." The surrounding seawater surged violently. It transformed into countless razor-sharp water spikes and whistled toward Dustin. The deadly edges glinted under the sunlight. Like a silver rainstorm, the barrage swallowed every inch of space around him.Dustin's sharp gaze locked onto the incoming strikes. With a light swing of the Celestial Blade, a streak of black sword aura shot out. Every water spike in its path shattered into mist and rained down in a cascade of droplets.However, Poseidon refused to relent. His attacks came in endless waves, an unbroken torrent.He gripped his trident with both hands and spun it, creating several blue energy rings. Each one expanded rapidly and surged toward Dustin like crashing waves.Dustin's figure flickered and vanished from his spot. The next second, he reappeared just outside the energy rings.Hovering in midair, he spun at incredible speed. The Celestial Blade in his hand turned into a b

    "Logan, I have to admit that you're stronger than I thought. I never expected you'd push me this far," Poseidon said.His arms slowly spread wide, and his blue eyes glowed with murderous intent. "As a mark of respect, I will give it everything I've got. You'll witness the true extent of my power."With a flick of his hand, he made a grabbing gesture. His trident, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea, shot back up through the water and landed firmly in his grasp.Compared to his earlier arrogance, Poseidon now stood with a newfound seriousness. It wasn't just Dustin's strength that had him on edge but his terrifying potential.At only 20, Dustin already possessed this level of strength. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Hall of Gods. Hence, Poseidon resolved to eliminate him today."Watch closely," he said.Poseidon slowly raised his trident and gripped it like a javelin. While channeling his energy into the weapon, it pulsed with an intense blu

    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 flare of light as if it could split the sky apart with the Celestial Blade.On the contrary, Poseidon's trident commanded 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 clashed 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 flashes of two figures constantly clashing. Their strikes ca

    "Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s

    Poseidon hovered in the air with his trident in one hand and radiated a commanding presence. He stood like a god, and his figure was so intimidating that it struck fear into those who beheld him.With a wave of his hand, an invisible energy struck Warrick and expelled the three silver needles from his body. Feeling sensation returned to his limbs, Warrick's face lit up. He quickly rose to his feet and clenched his fist to his chest in salute."Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. I will never forget this kindness!" he said."No need for formalities, Sir Prescott. Now that you've pledged yourself to the Hall of Gods, it's only natural that I ensure your safety," Poseidon replied with a faint smile as he descended gracefully."Your timely arrival was a blessing," Warrick said as he bowed his head slightly in deference. "Otherwise, we would have perished tonight."The Hall of Gods' royal gods were figures he could only look up to. Everything about Poseidon, from his power to hi

    Mulder knew Warrick had been on the battlefield for years, and his physical strength was unmatched. On top of that, he was already halfway to becoming an ultimate grandmaster. Even if Warrick couldn't defeat the prodigious Logan, Mulder figured the difference wouldn't be too big. But he never expected Logan to take down Warrick with a single finger, leaving him severely injured and unable to stand. The difference in their strength was far beyond anything Mulder could have imagined.In other words, Logan had been toying with them from the start and didn't take the fight seriously. If he had, they would've all been dead.Warrick clutched his chest and coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet. His chest was a charred ruin, the flesh torn open and slick with blood. It was an awful, gory mess."I didn't expect you to be this strong. I underestimated you," he growled.He slowly raised his head, and his face twisted with a menacing look. "Guess I was just unlucky to fall into your
