Rudos, Felix, and Irina's eyes widened at the sudden revelation.
"What! Ryuzen is a dragon?" Irina exclaimed in disbelief.
Felix only chuckled, crossing his arms. "Well, I'm not too surprised. I always thought his fire-breathing skill was abnormal… this clears everything up."
Rudos slapped his forehead and laughed. "Haha… everything makes sense now."
But then, as if remembering something, his expression darkened with suspicion.
"Wait. If that's true, then what you told us about Captain Luthor's death doesn't add up. What exactly happened that night?"
The room fell silent. Everyone turned their eyes toward Ryuzen. They had wondered about it before, but now the pieces didn't fit. If he was really a dragon, why hadn't Azathoth killed him too? Why had it only targeted Luthor?
The six commanders exchanged glances, their understanding unspoken.
Finally, Noah stepped forward, his eyes narrowing on Ryuzen. His voice carried the weight of judgment.
