Chapter 1168
Siegfried couldn’t believe his eyes. His vision was so sharp that he could clearly distinguish things even in the absence of light, so seeing in the dark was no challenge to him at all.
Yet even with his keen eyesight, he couldn’t make sense of the sight before him. In the end, he was forced to channel his Primordial Force into the mana stone embedded in the ceiling of the chamber.
Wooong...!
With a low hum, the mana stone flared to life, illuminating the entire chamber.
“K-Kyuuuu?!” Hamchi shrieked in horror.
“...This can’t be happening,” Siegfried muttered, his face aghast.
The sight revealed before them was simply far too horrible.
Gerog was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there lay a massive corpse, remains of a dragon, who had to have been the Dragon Lord, Gerog.
A huge hole was blasted in the middle of the corpse's chest, and the Dragon Heart that was supposed to be there was missing.
It looked like someone had killed Gerog and ripped out his Dragon Heart.
“T-This... How is this possible...?” Siegfried muttered, staring blankly at the remains, as he couldn’t compose himself.
Gerog was the strongest sentient creature in the Middle Realm, second only to Deus when it came to sheer might. However, he became nothing but a cold, lifeless corpse, just a few days after Siegfried last saw him.
