"Silence!"
"You must submit to me absolutely."
Cassius fully unleashed his leader's aura, causing all present retainers to feel a heavy pressure from above.
Whether it was the wyverns, chimeras, or ogres, they all involuntarily bowed and prostrated themselves.
Only after all retainers had bowed did Red Dragon, Cassius slowly use his sharp claws to cut open the skin on his palm.
His palm was not covered by scales but had thick, tough skin, making it difficult even for the red dragon himself to slice it open.
The scratch widened, and warm blood slowly seeped from the wound, gathering and dripping.
"Drip...Drip...Drip..."
The bright red blood continuously dripped onto the boulder, pooling in a shallow pit.
The retainers still had their heads bowed, and the air was filled with a silent atmosphere.
No one dared to look up, not even to divert their gaze from the ground, for fear of angering the red dragon and facing a tragic end.
"Bloodline Gift,"
Cassius murmured.
