The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCcx1DvUFf
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYqU8WKxK6
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhlxvXJ1zA
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi27ZXlxgFm
Besides...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PxORSIZPo
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb9TV49oD0
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQHDQdXYm3
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi22i59SIec
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDnBE6MdgH
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep9eSrW4ZC
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrEKlMB7DQ
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."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi2Y1jdq1z
"Acceptable."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAwXRXFNKa
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3uZoYzrPH
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaXkCrL1XM
"Go then, do what you must."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjcwgwhi0L
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Drpua128T
"Samantha, Gordon."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVAdh1PqG
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZebi8GN1x
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsaSb95slz
"What do you want to do?"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJNO2Gpcev
They asked.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuKgoe0skf
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlsZgLs8BX
Garros grinned.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOXy4HmEMk
"By what right!"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qbKvlPgJ
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjP4mtyF9A
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachmiF2O5V
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWPnLXE573
Bang!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIFqED0iQc
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtXjmt577
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gKKAWXfiH
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5DIHeSKE
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRB5AwXgq
Bang!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLdXXAiZ6
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvu1l8ye3Y
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG6xe0VIKz
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU3lm6AecZ
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArvu1TbKBv
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb5OM9vSvN
They let out a furious roar.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyzBOFnVf
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6JgQ4uM47
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaPIlFk7jO
However...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK2qtShs12
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjyDHbwXci
But Garros...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlqFTXHQvK
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8lx9OYeVP
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7KkSpZsR8
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWWHz522XG
Thud! Thud! Thud!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIGZodLLwk
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8MiAlAqWq
After a mere three minutes...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXgQEcB28X
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndnJlnhyC7
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDrhzRoJF9
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlLsltIcbD
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMETIIWEUV
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlirTscrEAm
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrrk6mh76c
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWYcpqPZVq
In fact...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKFjxCXn4
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Llwt536Kq
Appreciation was one thing.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5lfQGkYPB
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhjzNIkWqy
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCzcwyQRUy
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0KLwStYt4
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66m9SU3CKg
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEk6HXQLRH
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTdrm9vor
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpirZW69pWj
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VGjWEYli
Splash! Splash!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyN5wp6UKd
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7WjWXvi1c
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYk2GTaQj5
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWz9chNSB
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpjINUqMYg
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7pQYbY2b
Whoosh!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5D3y7hiI3
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkswIVmfdY
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayAhGzzE98
Bang!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdhEbaU2H
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyGAn9NS7k
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG41Xz8GSl
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFb5ECmWy9
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsKs0bO5uw
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVll0Y6gEa
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KgYgcUyK9
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ovgo11VPZ
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qEavM1Fop
Crunch! Crunch!
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeDdApHgiV
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniH4UU754i
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMTjrtGXOB
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOzcOFfByp
—Ground-Humping.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqaj2SZGPd
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPig5tiUxmw
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.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThV1HBpzE
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz0RW0Qq18
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."
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMUY2UP03D
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbdc4WDMGp
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!"
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsftZDYkHY0
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2mhiF14MJ
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.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMovtbXKlxQ
