The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 879

Chloe was the first to react, clearly displeased by Daniel’s words. She placed her hands on her hips and demanded, “What do you mean you can’t protect us? Are you saying I’m holding you back?”

“Exactly!”

Daniel nodded, responding cheekily. “You are holding me back! So hurry up and leave! Don’t stay here and cramp my style; it’s annoying!”

“Hmph! You little brat! How dare you say I’m annoying?”

“Just go already! The more I look at you, the more annoying you become! If this water pool doesn’t hold Dog back and you’re still here when he gets out, things will get messy!”

“Fine! I’ll leave! I’ll wait for you outside!”

Chloe, always the rational one, understood the stakes. She shot Daniel a glare, threatening, “Once you come out, I’m definitely going to punish you! You better be careful and not get injured! If you do, you’ll have to pay for your own medical bills!”

With that, Chloe led the others away, leaving Daniel and Dog as the only two humans remaining in the cave. Of course, the number of spirits lurking in the shadows remained unknown.

The final showdown was imminent!

Watching Dog, who was still submerged in the water and hesitant to come out, Daniel grinned and asked, “Dog, how does it feel? Enjoying your time in the pool?”

“You bastard! What... what did you do to me? Why is it that when I leave this pool, the extinguished fire reignites?”

Suddenly, the once-peaceful cave erupted into chaos.

The spirits hiding in the shadows surged forth, howling in a frenzy as they charged out.

One by one, they leaped into the water pool, attacking Dog with claws and teeth.

“Have you all lost your minds? Stop it! Let me go! Get off me!” Dog screamed, his voice hysterical.

But his desperate cries had no effect. The spirits ignored his pleas, their assaults becoming even more frenzied!
