The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 862 Human Calamity

"Dog! I'm not here to die; I'm here to take your life! You've bred so many ghosts on Golden Light Hill, and God knows how many lives you've destroyed! Today, I will end you to prevent you from claiming any more lives!" Daniel declared fiercely.

Just then, a man in a long black robe emerged from the shadows. His face was dark, and he wielded a skeleton sword-it was Dog!

This skeleton sword wasn't forged from just one skull but made from the bones of 9,999 people. Beyond that, it contained the souls of a million spirits! This sword was a family heirloom used to control ghosts; if any ghost disobeyed, he could execute them with this very weapon.

Dog sized Daniel up from head to toe and then asked with indifference, "What's your name?"

"Daniel."

"And what do you do?"

"A medical intern."

"A medical intern?"

Dog shook his head, skepticism etched across his face. "What could a mere intern be doing here?"

He then turned to Willow and asked, "Did you bring him here?"

"Yes! I brought him! This little troublemaker said he wanted to kill you, Dog. So, I thought I'd bring him along. I'm curious to see whether you're stronger or if this dumbass has a chance!" Willow replied with ameager look, as if she was ready for a show.

Dog's gaze returned to Daniel. "You seem to have a strong fate about you, don't you? You made it here because of that strong fate. But like people like you! Once I take your soul and offer it to my lord, I know it will transform into a powerful spirit; it will be incredibly useful

"Dog, my soul isn't so easily taken; you can't just grab it whenever you want," Daniel retorted boldly.

"I'm curious to see just how capable you really are."

With that, Dog swung his skeleton sword. Instantly, a plume of black smoke wafted from the blade, drawing in nearby ghosts.

These were broken spirits, distorted and grotesque in appearance. Even though they had turned into ghosts after dying as disabled individuals, their emotions-resentment and fury-were intense.

As they swarmed toward Daniel from all directions, the temperature dropped drastically by several degrees.

The ghosts wailed as they attacked.

Daniel retrieved the stick he had been using and began swinging it at the ghosts, cracking it against them with remarkable ease. He dispatched them rapidly without breaking a sweat. Even though these were broken spirits, their sheer number was overwhelming. Yet, Daniel managed to clear them out in no time using just a stick, surprising Dog despite himself.

"I had no idea you had some real capability, kid! Not bad at all. You wiped out all those ghosts so easily; I must admit, I'm a bit impressed!" Dog acknowledged, now a bit taken aback.
