As the heavy metal gates slowly opened, Mezulash strode into the hall and knelt on one knee before the steps, saying in a low voice:

Mezulash paused for a moment, cautiously looking up and seeing that Cassius's expression remained unchanged before continuing:
"Including an ancient red dragon."
"Oh?"
"It seems that old lion is making a big effort."
Cassius rubbed his chin as he spoke.
An ancient red dragon, a tremendously powerful and ferocious being, with a base challenge level of 20, was not an opponent to be underestimated, even for him. And any adventurer squad capable of slaying such a dragon was certainly no ordinary group.
