The Meltdown Dragon perished in battle, and Duke Fritz died in terror!
Upon hearing this thunderous news, Russell and King Ares were both stunned. Though the Warm Age had seen frequent changes in human dynasties over five thousand years, these were merely accounts in history books—nobody had truly experienced the collapse of a nation.
However, now the Molten Fire Duchy had reached its end.
After the dragon had fallen, the volcano would no longer sustain its power and would extinguish completely within three to ten years.
Once the volcano extinguished, the entire Volcanic Oasis—a warm land dependent on it, as well as the Warm Enclaves surrounding it—would once again be engulfed by the icy snowfields. The lives dwelling in this land would also perish along with the extinguishing of the volcano.
Unless.
A new dragon could erupt within this extinguished volcano.
