The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 856 The Paper Man

Jax was terrified; he had never seen Chloe this angry before.

Chloe had always been approachable, but right now, she was genuinely furious!

As a team leader, Chloe had authority, and Jax, as a team member, understood that he couldn't defy her orders. If he did, he could forget about any accolades for the year. Those accolades weren't just formalities; they also affected his year-end bonus, his rank for the next year, and even his salary!

"Yes, Chloe!"

Jax replied, his voice shaky, and cautiously approached the coffin.

Before reaching for the lid, he turned to Daniel and asked, "Dumbass, are you sure you're not pranking me? You really think nothing will happen if I open this coffin?"

"Nothing will happen! Jax, trust me. You should consider yourself lucky; everything will be fine!"

"If I die and turn into a ghost, I swear I won't let you off the hook!" Jax declared bravely, but with a hint of fear.

With that, he steeled himself, grasped the coffin lid, and pushed it open forcefully.

Creak!

With a sharp sound, the lid flew open, revealing a terrifying face staring right at Jax.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

Jax screamed in horror and immediately stepped back. But as he retreated, he lost his footing and fell hard, landing with a thud on the ground.

What emerged from the coffin wasn't a body or a zombie; it was a paper man with three heads, each one more exaggeratedly scary than the last.

The paper man leaped out of the coffin, advancing toward Jax.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

"Don't come near me!"

"Get away! Get away!"

Jax yelled, frantically using his hands to push against the ground while trying to kick himself back. But fear had paralyzed him; his hands and feet felt weak, and he could hardly move.

Daniel shouted.

The glowing protective spell shot out like a beam, striking the paper man right in the chest.

"Burn!"

Daniel commanded again.

The glowing spell ignited into a small flame, engulfing the three-headed paper man, crackling as it burned.

But Daniel wasn't about to let that happen. He lifted his leg and delivered a powerful kick to the paper man's chest.

Bam!

With a resounding crack, the three-headed paper man was sent flying against the stone wall, crashing into the corner.

The flames on its body blazed higher, and its screams morphed into pitiful whimpers. Finally, the fiery paper man was reduced to a pile of ashes, completely vanquished. With the three-headed paper man defeated, it could no longer pose a threat to anyone.
