"A… salamander!"
"Unbelievable… it's real!"
Despite its smaller size compared to other dragons, the salamander was one of the most dangerous, with a body that radiated intense heat even in death. Bjorn's casual return stunned everyone.
"Well done, Lord Bjorn!"
"Fortune was on my side," he replied modestly.
Luck had indeed played a role. The salamander had been a young specimen overly reliant on its fire abilities, lacking in other attacks. But, above all, it was the artifact Sylas had provided that had made the difference. While the nobles marveled at Bjorn's feat, Ragnar became the fourth to return.
Thud.
"A Flame Dragon. Verify it."
The sight of the Flame Dragon's enormous head left everyone speechless. It was by far the largest of the trophies, confirming Ragnar's accomplishment.
