The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu4uRguoQ8
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB34rdGGeE
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJi1BLBUpF
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35uOvCdy9T
Besides...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeclfG809AK
These two Hatchlings ate and drank her resources day after day, wandering aimlessly around the territory once they were full without doing anything productive. It was about time they did something useful.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwOUWD0Kbp
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV2RoxU6WM
The Iron Dragon Mother couldn't bring herself to do it; while she was evil and cold-blooded, she also strictly adhered to the rules in her own mind.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCjPSWB51k
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Az7QKnGC3
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS9v2fbIVl
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshLLhpamkI
Under her gaze, the Red-Iron Young Dragon immediately said, "I will provide you with an additional ten-pound piece of Precious Metal Ore every month."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7c6XODHdW
"Acceptable."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AYNjC9aXK
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFXf7bRe04
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwXUtrMGi8
"Go then, do what you must."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI2UHf1ZQO
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eaH65BPc
"Samantha, Gordon."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuLTVyTVad
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ8p9rabaZ
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJL8qta4Pe
"What do you want to do?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLEIH7sfIq
They asked.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5nhevNLm
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdPxSBitl3
Garros grinned.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvS2U1vgM
"By what right!"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw0eS0s0i8
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVKLBzK12M
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5Pnv5ow7
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUpZDPZfpX
Bang!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvSX6xIkRP
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRANoyt69C
Dense sparks flew as their scales collided. Garros's scales were solid, with not a single one falling off, while a large patch of scales on the Iron Dragon Brother cracked or even shattered. The dragon was slammed against the metallic cave wall, producing a dull thud.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrRllxb3KO
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gQqitXbw
Garros twisted his waist and turned, his thick, long tail—covered in a layer of blade-like dragon scales—swung out with a sharp whistle through the air.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjxxDj9YRQ
Bang!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTl8MkQBVc
The dragon tail struck the Red Dragon Sister's shoulder with massive force, tearing through a layer of scales instantly and sending her flying like a tattered sack.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJBzLxqVm0
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjuqUjHmVz
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKdVv286D7
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7w8lxIufB
The ferocity of the two Hatchlings was also ignited. The tough, strong bodies of Dragonkin meant that although they had taken Garros's attacks, they acted as if it were nothing.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKOGZp98eS
They let out a furious roar.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMwBebVQDm
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B2Ykfb60Z
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ayy3w6pWZ
However...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnTK6vC2g3
Unlike Garros, neither the Red Dragon Sister nor the Iron Dragon Brother had the awareness to train themselves at a young age. Like most Hatchlings, they believed they would eventually become overlords just by growing up naturally, so they were content to be lazy and neglected their training.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKuED0OgNy
But Garros...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeapRsRmpLd
After realizing that Dragonkin were not absolute overlords and that this world was actually full of dangers, he had begun consciously training to strengthen himself.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRKhDKex2i
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjN8LTzlM
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hCe01P8AA
Thud! Thud! Thud!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNffBq3YTEi
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXNzPwJdiK
After a mere three minutes...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5avkFkm8Gu
The two Hatchlings lay sprawled on the ground, bellies up as if they had fainted. They were covered in marks from Garros's beating; dragon scales were missing from their faces here and there, several teeth were gone, and even their Dragon Horns had been knocked crooked.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK0gLBWzS6
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeob8kG3al
Aside from some dust, his worst injury was on his forearm, where the Red Dragon Sister had bitten him viciously. But because Garros's scales were exceptionally thick and hard, the Red Dragon Sister's teeth had gone sore from biting; she had only barely managed to bite through his scales, leaving a row of small tooth marks without even a drop of blood seeping out.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2XhrX6kc
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmjnzVPFQz
Before the Red Dragon Sister could even bite into the hide, Garros had grabbed her by the horns, pulled her head away, and given her a thrashing.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroR8hIXty
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBPdFYu7Q
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxKUYItWR3
In fact...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi83md4CkM
She had always appreciated Garros. This Hybrid Dragon's innate talent was stronger than that of normal dragons, and he was exceptionally serious and persistent in his pursuit of power, showing great potential to become a great Evil Dragon.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8rIsOKntO
Appreciation was one thing.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgMXH6TnLu
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveH0eZmpDe
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPp4o3ExvP
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXcwOaZ7c
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEQKmlIoB
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtn2mhg3Uj
Garros replied, then grabbed the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother by their tails, one in each claw, and dragged them out of the Iron Dragon Mother's lair.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit2VRD5Xin
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcWX7Fi31j
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8IKZiDuUg
Splash! Splash!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAnSatYXBJ
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlijOFIa88
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZPxo5lseN
After only ten seconds, two figures bolted out of the water as if their tails were on fire, and with great coordination, they flew in different directions, attempting to escape from Garros.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82YtmL5J8
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4J4gNrv1
Under the cold moonlight, his pair of Dragon Wings were long and wide, with a wingspan reaching a full twelve meters—twice his body length. The wing membranes were incredibly tough, snapping loudly as they cut through the air, their edges as sharp as blades and gleaming with a cold, metallic luster.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3EovvSui
Whoosh!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNjB70xyuB
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEJv4D2ovq
In the blink of an eye, Garros caught up to the Red Dragon Sister, grabbed her tail in one claw, swung her in a wide arc, and hurled her toward the Iron Dragon Brother fleeing in the other direction.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsQrMiQbjm
Bang!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx25w6NUvP
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt9sPI76vN
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwA0LT95a1
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9wnhBD4yj
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P73HKCI9T
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhdqn5PkW
His perception of metallic minerals was very keen, and because he came here often, he had sensed the presence of some metal Ores, though they were buried very deep.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTCXOTWng
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNYSySpxOh
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxBQQNx5QT
Crunch! Crunch!
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTLHkt5y9u
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHPLT7wbG
Meanwhile, Garros flew into the air again and again, then folded his wings, letting his heavy body free-fall to 'kiss' the earth, smashing deep pits into the surface one after another.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueyV0Wr8I3
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoiZ43Kq1r
—Ground-Humping.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwui5zTHi9F
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VciScyNzs
However, the Iron Dragon Mother's 'eviction' had made Garros realize that he would eventually have to face danger alone, making him even more eager to become powerful.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCxsMYfIwZ
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwNN12pZH5
The Red Dragon Sister spat, clearing a pebble from her mouth, and whispered, "Garros is out of his mind. He'll cripple himself sooner or later. When that happens, we'll be free."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaD9fG9S2N
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgEH9HTZk
Shaking the dust and gravel off his face, he chimed in, saying viciously, "Not just free—when that time comes, we'll force him to find Ore for us and mine for us!"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaD8g5Hskw
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JRF6xbRlf
The two mining Hatchlings didn't even feel tired anymore. The corners of their mouths curled into pleasant arcs, and their claws unconsciously dug even faster.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq5nT8eYjC
