The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 868

“I don’t know!”

Willow shook her little head vigorously, putting on an innocent expression. “I have no idea! I don’t know what just happened!”

Daniel looked at her in disbelief. “You don’t know? You just tried to take a bite out of me and now you’re claiming ignorance?”

“You little troublemaker, that's nonsense! How could I ever bring myself to bite you? I like you too much! I wouldn’t want to bite you to death—not even a little!”

Willow glanced over at the other spirits around them, all now frozen in place due to Daniel’s spell.

“Hey, little troublemaker, what happened to them? Did you do something?” she asked playfully.

“They’re worse than you! You just wanted to bite me, but those spirits were out for my life! So, I used a spell to freeze them!”

Meanwhile, Dog, who was seeing Willow and the spirits he had released being manipulated by Daniel, spat out blood in fury.

“Ugh…”

After spitting, he glowered at Daniel, his voice cold. “You bastard, I didn’t realize you knew some spells! But those spells of yours are still far from enough! You have no idea who you’re dealing with. Your incantations are nothing but basic versions!”

With that, Dog jabbed the skeleton sword into the ground and began chanting another spell.

As the words slipped from his lips, the eye sockets of the skulls on his sword began to weep.

No, it wasn't tears—it was blood!

Blood-laden tears!

Daniel took a quick glance at the incoming claws, then smiled at Dog. “Dog, are you trying to use all these skeletal claws to kill me?”

“You bastard, your death date has come!”

Dog snarled fiercely.

Immediately after making this proclamation, he recited his incantation. The skeletal claws unleashed a rapid assault on Daniel from all directions, attacking simultaneously.

Even though the skeletal claws were fierce and he had no weapon, Daniel still held a stick in his hand!

So, as the skeletal claws reached for him, he swung the stick in swift motions, striking at the claws with a series of loud cracks.
