A region in the south where all sides are covered with wetlands.

It had already been three days since the two heirs of the Astrophel family entered the cave to molt.

Orca spoke anxiously, looking at the cave entrance blocked by a huge rock.

"Lord Durias, the door still won't open. Shouldn't we go in and take a look?"

"Oh, is that a new way to commit suicide?"

"......."

"Then you may come in."

As the black mamba grows into an adult, it poisons everything that comes near it.

It was to protect one's defenseless self.

Orca frowned.

"I know it doesn't usually take this long."

"Get ready to get away from the cave, Orca."

"......yes?"

Durias's mouth formed a curve.

"The young masters will come out now."

"What is that......!"

As soon as Durias finished speaking, threatening pheromones began to burst out in explosive amounts.

Orca flinched and quickly bit back.

Despite the considerable distance from the cave, the pheromones were spreading rapidly.

"Isn't it annoying that you are making so much noise outside?"

Durias grumbled. He could no longer get close enough to check the cave.

Kururung.

A sound was heard of the rock blocking the entrance to the cave moving.

"One person came out."

"......Which young master could it be?"

"I don't know. You're acting so stupid today, Orca."

Durias grinned and spat out a sarcastic remark. Orca's face crumpled.

Even though I've been here with my family all this time, I still haven't adjusted.

Orca said with displeasure.

"I don't think it's Lord Arban's pheromone."

"Then you must be Master Set."

"But..., was Master Set's pheromone this neurotic?"

The pheromones were swirling around everywhere they went. It felt completely different from his usual calm appearance.

"Isn't it true that when you become an adult, your true nature comes out?"

Still, this is a bit.......

Orca nodded his head sheepishly.

Soon, the heavy sound of another cave entrance opening was heard.

Orca tensed up at the sound of something approaching at such a fast speed that the door opened.

Occasionally, a hungry black mamba will shed its skin and move right away to hunt.

If I become a target...

"You're quick, aren't you?"

Durias looked to his left indifferently.

Soon, Arban, with his captivating aura, appeared.

The appearance that immediately caught one's attention seemed to symbolize the deadly venom of the black mamba.
