The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4Hw5IlOR
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWCk94VW4T
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieAoOo2f1h
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt18k4TNqf4
Besides...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3WhEcT19D
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w2zpiSB35
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo9TFjtOlc
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiqaKmXJ08
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzX0EPox47
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8s47ca4H
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsatlc2BJye
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."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6aQ3mQlu
"Acceptable."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DApT9D9Hj
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNgUfSsJmz
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd92Lodmd6
"Go then, do what you must."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9VuJCuJg
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTgQoIfopl
"Samantha, Gordon."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VwSS1rt3
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGokPHPUBp9
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZUxY0TLXV
"What do you want to do?"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Tgb345eJ
They asked.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CZFM2Ri1v
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIeoKrgoy3
Garros grinned.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdVeX1ZpDW
"By what right!"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaoDTTjdBN
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWKBBnIkOt
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZKN64LoM
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d2kz1eGFI
Bang!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cP0YmuXAg
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyzINSXlQ
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ksifyigym
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdenYWng7A
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXwmkRIOBD
Bang!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ECnEaZvO5
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1KyDnedTO
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kYa7Uy1cE
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMDjrVu8RI
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQQSHnJpFx
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZww3RrLda
They let out a furious roar.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCk8N36qHU
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcp1JWvJe1
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHASNDkzAx
However...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxcX9Uq0n2
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl3HOAqCo5
But Garros...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYUk8IWWT4
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1qg6t1cgP
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf8i7IiEvP
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1IXz8USuZ
Thud! Thud! Thud!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuIz9SKAUk
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxFXviOhAP
After a mere three minutes...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4frRMwsJoZ
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveY5FqIY2t
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESrBbscW9
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuUdNjhTD
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3mX44vuU
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVbOczcJWb
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77tlvbgYn
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJnKLu9C1c
In fact...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XxADJkm2
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwIf04G5Zk
Appreciation was one thing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqe9riMRyV
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA7F4KtkFn
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIOMlND02i
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU5J3Do7Is
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxn3zYu6EV
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc579HMmOso
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5vDMexg12
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QbmvEdbFb
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIebBF5cmLA
Splash! Splash!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vI76Z6ZP
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7BlJRIFDd
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMtHRrcpU
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iNVsNEXfO
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQWGvpO4aM
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZHmjzYuTa
Whoosh!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwfH3mOT5
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8Nidi9A6
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6ESk5mFg
Bang!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmm5ii2eFc
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjY6wLwWx3
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMkhxJkq2m
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLoJTaXzcg
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeRDZG5myJ
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxCsQT5gl
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMsZVxHbAJ
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8fqE1zCCB
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dHDtn0LsB
Crunch! Crunch!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjoq76EJm
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijMCN8TbdC
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T61zYePaz
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ok9u3i4N
—Ground-Humping.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr9skqRdUS
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZzLXHarl
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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6fwzDNgq
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXLRnFsclR
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."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6USINeXPFP
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIJsxbC5b6
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!"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCxvmHwScR
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpSUa9YBMC
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgRlKPVAOF
