The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivdyZu7a6N
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6dVyjSCr1
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7koM7fOAx
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EpiTqqXXq
Besides...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG0SD1PcaC
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTEBhcFOUr
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9gTc4B99d
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6PUEn4hMY
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTEQbC29uE
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJLzzR9Pg
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y4OUYIa4x
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."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRkemOoGQi
"Acceptable."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnxjUZYwLJ
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBVSFmAk97
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvws6h67z4e
"Go then, do what you must."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFqOV5Bah
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq52uL4cbPD
"Samantha, Gordon."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfVPQIInnV
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgsJ4ok5W
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2vnJ4fkqi
"What do you want to do?"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdUYkRLlJ
They asked.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKWoJ012NR
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoErNM0bOO
Garros grinned.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxer1Q12Ohj
"By what right!"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtCtHNnRkH
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKeKYjb1JA
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7sYgYvdmI
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUS9kircSv
Bang!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchqi7QI9XJ
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwufwRNHKH
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbAcLmfdf
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtupnwP1TYz
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlUn9vAR5V
Bang!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbTjynQMB
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroNwZkI92l
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscfcKYPo25
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Z2CWUD3h
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmc7OYVAI6
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLw94XRFNM
They let out a furious roar.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWXOJ4Tx9o
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICJ9zbdqKT
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3kAwRF4t
However...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESIDtbBJLz
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPFCPmxD4T
But Garros...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiHxJoc7Fp
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbnIqVGy5E
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3rATbsHQ5
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvi8HstAgv
Thud! Thud! Thud!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAhyOXUVFi
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1WAYYW5e
After a mere three minutes...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYcxJrI3OF
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYkVsn72Ey
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X60zUWXka
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RDHiKQ2np
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SO7JMQwJc
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyzgTH4dRZ
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMktunKytMw
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4lDofYRUA
In fact...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDfiWtRl8E
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx51Myvrz5D
Appreciation was one thing.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R7j0FYNkc
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe9HrA1mxC
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye3cAfAz4J
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xYoZ8e4L3
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtwsmXlv4P
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDsW5AXuK
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOkGlY3vM
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWexHcaoUV
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbXI6tsJKj
Splash! Splash!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBASnIt6Yg
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rglJtPZmn
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7YyKOwIzR
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dhdGLggHq
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62pUX63Z9v
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZZvDBNYI
Whoosh!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFGx3Gde2
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9SoUzxVDs
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkSnKh6x1K
Bang!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvSjPpZwxn
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOHNdni6Pk
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICvUGjclcv
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBhZfszKON
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHgxA27cz
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNR464ACgf
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ueVzbOng
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO28bFm828C
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp7O07ae68
Crunch! Crunch!
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdylINaVt
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAsDrb1aoS
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYkbHkac0B
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBWwxiCTAX
—Ground-Humping.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUnzXu73fZ
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbHhJfdYx
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ4ysCjBcX
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rtwom9GdP
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."
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMtaKK90l
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCix5K6D4Ag
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!"
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYiS2iWuM1
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcJvQBsagV
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.115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfKh6kRlIF
