Chapter 85: The Dragon King, Tiamat

Strax felt a chilling cold run down his spine the moment he opened his eyes, realizing the vast darkness of the cave he found himself in. The space around him was an unfathomable void, where the only source of light was the sword floating before him, emitting a pale, mysterious yellow glow. The blade seemed to pulse with ancient and powerful energy, its warmth contrasting with the coldness of the place, leaving him on high alert.

[You have entered the Dragon's Cave – Tiamat]

The warning echoed in his mind, as clear as the touch of the blade on his soul. The sword, made from a long, curved bone like a fang, seemed alive, shimmering with an energy not belonging to the human world. Strange runes covered the blade, flickering in harmony with the yellow glow, and an aura of ancient power emanated from it.
