Seeing Cale honestly seem to hate that title made Alberu ignore Cale, Raon, and Eruhaben as he headed out of the tent. He decided feigning ignorance about the two of them was the best course of action.

Plop.

The entrance flap was opened and then closed again. Cale turned away from the closed entrance as he headed toward Eruhaben, who had created a teleportation magic circle on the ground in the tent.

The magic circle underneath Eruhaben�s feet were shining brightly. Eruhaben activated the magic circle as soon as Cale stepped on top of it.

Ooooooong-

Cale closed his eyes as his surroundings blurred.

He felt his body teleport before hearing the ancient Dragon�s voice.

�We will teleport to that Dragon, to Olienne�s lair.�

The former oldest Dragon in the Eastern continent. Cale had teleported to his lair.

* * *

He could see the mess of a lair the moment he opened his eyes.

The lair that probably once had a lot of beautiful sculptures was full of dust and was also destroyed in multiple places.

Nobody would think that this used to be a Dragon�s lair.

However, Cale could tell that it was a Dragon�s lair as soon as he got there. Eruhaben�s bitter voice could be heard.

�This is what happens to a Dragon that does not die a natural death.�

A Dragon that did not die a natural death.

Whether it is from suicide or murder, a Dragon who dies without living out its full lifespan looks different from Dragons that live for their full thousand years.

Cale could see the rotting Dragon corpse from on the side.

A Dragon who finishes its thousand years of life would shine brightly and turn into dust as they become part of the earth.

However, just like the Dragon skeleton in the black swamp in the Forest of Darkness, a Dragon that does not live out its entire life starts to rot, just like any other lifeform.

It rots into the ground extremely slowly.

�The rotting usually finishes within a hundred years, but this guy��

Eruhaben stopped to sigh before continuing to speak.

�It ended up being delayed for this guy because he died in his lair. He was in a really good area, so his rotting speed was slowed. That is why he looks like this right now.� JrNovels.com
