The Understated Dragon Lord

Although no one had ever seen a malevolent spirit, they'd all grown up hearing stories about them, leading to a mindset of 'better safe than sorry.'

Daniel's comment infuriated Shitstrong to the point of stomping his foot. "Scum, are you insulting me?"

“Let’s go! Let’s find Mia inside the building. She won’t run away because she is ready; she wants to kill us all and use our bodies to nourish malevolent spirits."
