GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The other dragonlings heard what he muttered and looked up, but they saw nothing amiss. This is not the first time that two suns will be in the sky. It just means that the dragon continent has moved into the path of the two stars. It is nothing strange.

Mother also hasn't moved and doesn't appear concerned. If she doesn't think there is anything to be worried about, then there is nothing for them to be worried about. So they stopped paying attention to the sky.

Only the second continued looking at the second star. He continued to do so for more than an hour. Nothing happened during that time. But it turned out that his worries were not unfounded.

Something strange did happen after two hours of its appearance. The second sun enlarged, and the heat from it increased.

Second became agitated. He said, "It is falling from the sky."

He didn't need to shout. The second sun was falling towards their mountain, so the others noticed the change quickly. It was practically bearing down on them.

"What's going on?" Fourth asked in confusion.

No one had the answer to that question, so they had to ask Mother.

"Mother. The sun is falling."

But Mother ignored them. She continued to lie on the ground with her eyes closed. They don't believe that she is sleeping, despite how she looks. Her divine sense is still active, so she is awake. But they don't understand why she is ignoring them and the falling sun.

First said. "There is no need to panic if Mother is not panicking. Maybe it is an illusion."

They regained their confidence because they didn't think Mother would watch on as something this dangerous happened to them. If Mother is not concerned, then they should be mildly concerned at most. They can't be unconcerned anymore, considering how terrifying a falling sun is.

"But what is it?" Third asked. "If it is an illusion, it can't be a star. If it is not dangerous, it can't be a falling sun. So what is it?"

Fourth suggested. "It could be an enemy performing the illusion. It has to be a very powerful enemy for it to fool us."

They didn't reject that possibility because they were aware that anything was possible. It is unlikely for an enemy of the dragon race to find the ancestral grounds of dragons and attack dragons openly in their own homes, but it has happened before and it can happen again.

Besides, it could be that someone is playing a trick on them. Maybe this is all a harmless test by some eccentric dragon passing by.

They didn't have to wait long to get the answer to the cause of their predicament. The sun had fallen so low that they could see its surface clearly. It is a sphere of fire in the most thorough sense of the word.

They can see pillars of fire erupting from its scorching red surface. The whole sphere seems to be made of liquid fire, so it looks like lava. It is flowing like a liquid too, and it is erupting with the occasional pillar of fire.

It didn't surprise them that the sun also had a divine sense. The sun spoke to them through it. "Remove your protection, Rajin. Let my children feel my warmth. I promise I won't kill all of them."

Their Mother sighed and said, "I take it back. I wish you hadn't come."

She is regretting her actions, but she did release the barrier that she had created around them. The dragonlings were hit by a heavy and scorching aura. It was then that they realized that Mother had always been protecting them. The star was not an illusion. It is an actual attack created by their father.

entire vision. It was more than a hundred meters across, and it was blazing hot. Then again, their father might be inside the ball, so they wouldn't be able to see him, no matter how small They can't see their father because the ball of fire filled their entire vision. It was more than a hundred meters across, and it the ball of fire is.

Their father said to them, "Listen, little ones. I won't stop until one of you dies. All you have to do is hold on until the first of you dies."

They felt it in their bones that their father wasn't joking. He truly intends to weed out the weakest of them. They have always struggled to surpass each other, and they can say for certain who the strongest one of the four of them is. But they can't say who the weakest is. Now they will know, and they will watch the weakest die.

They will lose one of their siblings, but they are not concerned about it. They are more concerned about themselves and don't want to be that sibling, so they focused on surviving.

They formed a domain of mana around themselves like a cocoon. The cocoon of mana was roasted constantly, so they can't survive if they make it a static defense. They have to expel the heated mana and replenish it with fresh, cool mana around them.

Defending against the heat from their father is not easy. Not only does the cocoon of mana around them have to be thick and heat-repellent, but it also has to be dynamic in that they can expel heat by shifting the mana out of the cocoon and replenishing it with fresh mana, all the while maintaining the toughness and stability of the cocoon so that it doesn't collapse due to the constant shifting of its structure. Any mistake, and they might die.

Fortunately, the heat of their father is focused on them and not their environment. Otherwise, they would have no cool mana to replenish their cocoon with.

What they don't know is that their father was bombarding their environment indiscriminately. It is because of Mother that their environment is cool. If not for her efforts, one of them would have faced defeat quickly.
