The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 806

Even as Nathan confidently spoke, he turned his head to look back.

“FUCK!”

Seeing the ghostly boy, Nathan screamed and collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength. He attempted to stand up and run, but his legs just wouldn’t cooperate.

As Nathan sat there, trembling, the boy immediately crawled onto his chest, making himself comfortable.

The boy then took one of his large, rough hands and pulled a wriggling maggot from his rotting face, offering it to Nathan. With his other hand, he pointed at his own mouth.

The boy’s actions left Nathan paralyzed with fear.

“Get... get away from me!”

“How can he get away? He’s sitting on your chest, offering you a delicacy from his face!” Daniel joked, clearly enjoying the situation.

“Hick, quit joking around and save me! You’re supposed to be so powerful, aren’t you? Do something!”

Nathan was genuinely desperate now.

“Oh, come on, Nathan. I asked if you wanted a protection spell earlier, but you said no. If you didn’t need my help then, why would you need it now? So, I’ll just let you deal with it on your own.”

“Brittany, we were college buddies, right? Please, ask him to save me!”

Realizing that pleading with Daniel was futile, Nathan turned his desperation toward Brittany. He knew she couldn't stand to see someone in distress and wouldn’t ignore his plea. Instead of asking the ruthless hick, he'd beg his kind-hearted former classmate.

The ghostly boy opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and leaned in to bite Nathan’s neck. Brittany, desperate, shouted at Daniel, “Hick, save him!”
