The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 248 Better Than Nothing

LightS's response represented the sentiment of the majority of the team members. 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.' And indeed, smearing some ash on their faces wouldn’t really hurt anything.

With most of the team members choosing to believe Daniel, those who were initially undecided also accepted Daniel’s offer for help. Eventually, only Shitstrong remained consistent with his original attitude, being the sole person who didn't accept Daniel's assistance.

"Shitstrong, are you sure you don’t want this?" Daniel offered one last reminder.

"No!" Shitstrong’s reply remained decisive.

"Since Shitstrong doesn’t believe my words, there’s nothing more I can say. My advice is, to avoid getting scared to the point of wetting yourself later on when we enter this building, you might want to prepare a diaper or something like that."

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."

With a wave of his hand, Daniel led the group into the building.
