Bernardo is the name of the planet beneath Garros's feet.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aaxSHiEaX
On this planet, magical culture is highly developed, and every nation is sparing no effort in developing magical technology.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKE8J9dzvF
Highly advanced nations have even built interstellar spaceships using magic engines, acquiring resources from the Universe by exploring outer space and other planets.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvIivy8Mpg
"Dragonkin are nearly the top-tier creatures, but in this world, they cannot be called invincible."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yuHpB7cH9
Garros blinked as he gazed at the Fake Moon in the sky.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfmOsAv725
The Legacy mentioned that there was once an Ancient Blue Dragon known as [Wings of Hurricane] who was hunted by Nausir for a long time after destroying several cities in the Nausir Elven Empire.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltntxJYLPv
Eventually, using a city as bait, Nausir trapped the Wings of Hurricane with a great magic formation.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQht0xfUYs7
The Fake Moon descended a beam of light that destroyed everything, killing the Wings of Hurricane.

"Moreover, the other biological races on Planet Bernardo have a poor impression of Chromatic Dragons and Ferrous Dragons; once discovered, they will immediately prepare for a crusade."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLOcyT6gKs
The Dragon Clan has many classifications.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAccVSvkzkO
For instance, the most common ones are the Chromatic Dragons, Metallic Dragons, and Gem Dragons, followed by the Ferrous Dragons.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9lOr9fVKm
Because Chromatic Dragons are inherently evil and keen on causing destruction, they are identified as Evil Dragons. Ferrous Dragons are even seen as the 'mad dogs' among Dragonkin, frequently killing their own kind, let alone other biological races.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcRytX6q5E
"I am a Hybrid Dragon of Chromatic and Sub-Iron Bloodlines, specifically a mix of Red Dragon and Iron Dragon. I'm afraid I'll be seen as the most evil among Evil Dragons—a naturally wicked Dragonkin seed, so terrifying that I must not be allowed to live."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGL1j5p1Ls
He sat down by the lakeside.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQzslMKYE
The Young Dragon's tail was submerged in the water, swaying back and forth.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYfAKzV13Q
Moonlight shone on Garros as he felt the comfort of his tail drifting in the water, with occasional small fish cleaning away weeds and dust, while he pondered in his heart.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu6Dva1SfL
"I should still train more and strengthen myself."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZUqjXllMZ
"Only by becoming strong will I have more confidence when facing potential dangers in the future."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxq5ws6Dll
This dragon life has only just begun, and Garros hoped to live as long as possible, not wanting to be like his previous life, where he met with a fatal accident right in the prime of his eighteen years.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgcRGTlDIq
"First, set a small goal: live to be a hundred."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5hgPYhxPX
"Wait, Dragonkin only reach adulthood at a hundred; I'd better hope for a thousand-year lifespan."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlW5ElwIFz
Garros leaned backward.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPC9oUL7gF
The Young Dragon's body crashed through the water's surface, splashing countless crystal-clear droplets under the moonlight. He dove to the deepest part of the lake, enduring the heavy water pressure without breathing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2baSgDJip1
—Dragonkin can actually breathe underwater.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vbz9Dozdf
Garros simply wanted to train his cardiopulmonary capacity and his affinity for the water element.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbDQj88Rda
Thanks to various daily training sessions, his lungs were much stronger than those of ordinary Dragonkin, and the intensity and duration of his Dragon Breath were superior to those of a normal Young Dragon.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS912tx2To
Additionally, both Iron Dragons and Red Dragons are fire-attribute dragons and do not actually like water.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6zYygQvAA
The hybrid Garros was the same—a definitive fire-attribute dragon.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBfYLFnd8T
Attacks with attributes like water or ice would deal double damage to him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG1MtZQpoU
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vo9WvzEJd
To prevent being caught off guard by attribute-countering attacks one day, Garros had been enduring his aversion to water for several years, occasionally soaking in it for desensitization and adaptation.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMh6ITAAwa
By now, his instinctive aversion to water had completely vanished.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oqxg8DzNA
Although he hadn't actually encountered a water-attribute attack and couldn't be certain of his water element affinity, Garros felt that, at the very least, he wouldn't take double damage.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmlwLHVls7
Suddenly.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG471El5XNQ
A slight ripple in the water came from behind him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFARJPLQoG
A dark shadow approached rapidly and launched an attack on Garros.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyMrFtvzJS
Garros keenly captured the change in the current. Before the attack could land, he turned his body, raised his dragon claw, and struck out fiercely.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9GuQo2pV
Boom!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ50D6tF4Zm
A black dragon claw and a fiery Red Dragon claw collided, sending a shockwave through the water.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSEXKflJT
The fiery Red Dragon claw locked with Garros's, attempting a contest of strength.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGDaX98YsO
However.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrzkl2v40H
Garros's strength was astonishing. The powerful muscles beneath his dragon scales bulged, even lifting the scales slightly. His claw pressed back the fiery red one inch by inch, forcing it to retreat.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg9btgULnl
The contest of strength was lost.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CYINsygQM
The owner of the fiery red claw withdrew it and stared at Garros with a pair of Red Dragon pupils, saying in a crisp, displeased voice, "Garros, you wretched hybrid, I will defeat you sooner or later!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb46k6N6tE
Hatchling Samantha was Garros's biological Red Dragon Sister, a pure-blooded Red Dragon.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Qw1CqqtX
In the Dragon Clan, hybrids are rare because Dragonkin Bloodlines are overbearing and difficult to fuse.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNSZOMkpr5
For example, when a Red Dragon and an Iron Dragon conceive offspring, there is a very high probability of producing a pure-blooded Red Dragon or a pure-blooded Iron Dragon; the offspring will inherit the Bloodline of one parent. Hybrid Dragons like Garros, who can fuse the blood of Red and Iron, are few in number.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgFBbIGiP
Slap!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgkmDosUUn
Garros slapped the red Hatchling on the head with his claw.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXPD1swpmF
"When dealing with a Dragonkin stronger than you, watch your tone and choice of words."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnkJZVSZN8
This slap sent the red Hatchling's head tilting sharply, nearly knocking her off balance; the force was not light.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3IYHAFy7A
Between Dragons, especially Evil Dragons, strength is often what speaks. Only power can earn the respect of other Evil Dragons, and Garros had grown accustomed to this way of communication.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eoAyU0VtR
Red Dragon Sister hatched a year later than Garros.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi75ULBx7u
At that time, Garros saw that his dragon sister was chubby and round, looking cute and honest, so he tore off a piece of meat from the food he was eating and gave it to her.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3M1tiMiNL
As a result.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwnDIaJhmg
Instead, she thought Garros was weak and took advantage of him. Her Evil Dragon nature flared up, and she ordered Garros to hand over all his food. The other Iron Dragon Brother, who hatched at the same time, also thought Garros was weak and conspired with Red Dragon Sister to extort Garros's food.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZaswrPJ1q
After being rejected by Garros, the two actually used their claws to try and snatch all of Garros's food.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVXZFhIDGz
Afterward, Garros pinned them to the ground and gave them a severe beating, and they only behaved after several of their teeth were knocked out.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6L4dVwQJB
As a Hybrid Dragon, Garros was naturally stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon or Iron Dragon, not to mention he was a year older.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dTVNnrtH
Meanwhile.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdwa6b4RQw
After taking the slap, Red Dragon Sister bared her teeth, wanting to fight back, but when she saw the fierce glint in Garros's eyes, she sensibly restrained herself.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeMRmZuWaU
Red Dragons worship violence and like to solve problems through force.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCAnxNjxyQ
However, when their violence is weaker than the opponent's, they will endure for the time being, waiting to surpass them before taking vicious revenge.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZDS2pKSo
Furthermore, she had received plenty of beatings from Garros over the years and knew that this dragon brother of hers would not show any mercy.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEB7o4PU5k
"My respected brother."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5PtU51Q9X
Red Dragon Sister softened her tone and said, "Mother wants you to go to the dragon nest."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZT3B5UTb1
After stating her purpose for finding Garros, she muttered under her breath, "Spending every day soaking in water... you're really strange. You made me have to come into the water too."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmMNrJvmqA
Red Dragon Sister was completely uncomfortable in the water, her dragon face filled with an expression of disgust.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNagAMIjDe
She wiggled her tail and waist, floating rapidly toward the surface and leaving the lake water ahead of Garros.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPR0itRvg
Garros was in no hurry. He flapped his wings in the water and then burst out, soaring through the air. He overtook Red Dragon Sister and flew toward the dragon nest.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbEL0nZ1eF
The dragon nest—it was located on the cliff face of the eastern side of the sinkhole.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvh45XiLYd
From the outside, it looked like a simple and rugged cave.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsv0jCLzby
Moonlight could not reach inside the dragon nest, but the stone walls inside were plated with a layer of strange metal. Some areas emitted a bright glow, so it was not dark inside.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV5CMiefrQ
Garros folded his wings and walked with alternating limbs, stepping across the metallized floor as he went deeper inside.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2L2os3l0
The deeper he went, the more metal there was around him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFinHOtookP
Clusters of metal bloomed like flowers on the stone walls, and some angular metal pillars protruded from the ground.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VyG9IWMVF
Finally, when Garros reached the deepest part of the cave, his vision suddenly opened up as he arrived in a massive 'hollow.'
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTyGyDcthA
This core of the dragon nest was not a crude cavern in the traditional sense.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFj7k4747k
The surrounding ground and stone walls were covered in a layer of soft yet tough metal, its texture similar to mercury, but with rust-colored ripples on the surface.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayu3jXgm7m
To the north stood a thirty-meter-high tiered metal platform, atop which was Iron Dragon Mother's exclusive throne.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZGCowmPBg
—It was forged from countless swords and halberds. The weapons of the defeated were now solidified into steps, with each level inscribed with dragon language runes.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVubx2wOBKv
Garros looked up.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkgCR4DLzY
On the throne was a behemoth twenty meters long, whose breath created air currents like howling gales—a true dragon.71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rio1MoXAQ
