The Black Dragon Siblings

The tent canvas was torn away, revealing the three people inside. Bovar immediately noticed something was wrong with Varian. He shoved Windsor, who was supporting him, aside and shouted, "Quick! Get Your Majesty out of there!"

After seeing Windsor and the others spring into action, Bovar turned his attention to Tiffin, who was locked in a fierce battle with Katerina.

"Miss Tiffin! Be careful! The dwarves have brought out their dragon-slaying crossbows!"

Bovar shouted the warning to Tiffin both to intimidate Katerina and because he feared Tiffin might be hit by mistake. But when Katerina heard the words "dragon-slaying crossbow," she panicked.

Many Dragon Slaying Weapons had never actually claimed a dragon's life, thanks to the later appearance of the Chromatic Dragons. Dragon-slaying bolts, however, were another matter. Because of the materials and craftsmanship involved, each bolt required a specially designed crossbow to unleash its full power. Even the Earthen, who controlled the mineral wealth of all Azeroth at the time, couldn't afford to produce them in large quantities. Countless dragon souls had wailed beneath each dragon-slaying bolt. Even after the Chromatic Dragons appeared, no one dared risk their wrath by hunting dragons, but the bolts' fearsome reputation had still been passed down from one generation to the next. Katerina couldn't afford to take such a weapon lightly.

"Humph! Keep the dagger for now. I'll come back for it later!"

After their clash, Katerina used the force of the impact to spring backward. She bent her knees, pushed off hard, and shot into the sky. The heavens darkened, and a gigantic black dragon appeared overhead.

The black scales were clearly visible to everyone. Her enormous body, wings that blotted out the sky, serpent-like tail, and fearsome head all radiated the power of a dragon.

"Haha, it really is a dragon!
