The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCd0OHdtU8
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSBYPU6kK9
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pExOSlsYE
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASE1YcfYCX
Besides...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXTkU1sUSt
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQJeCOIqCb
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWZ6ID8In2
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr1ZHUn24K
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Q1VvU3oO
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKymEuDjNpl
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirAHIARNeC
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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSOt4CEZeU
"Acceptable."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHag3vwfInG
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UizTc4PtI
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1yixmxGuc
"Go then, do what you must."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3S4PxQh0
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxZLHfO116
"Samantha, Gordon."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcNKvE8EXl
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEzLMWBj6j
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWgOFI1LwE
"What do you want to do?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5O8YMOf8Y
They asked.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEoBPpp4Je
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKetp9SlEQP
Garros grinned.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdixjyfwXd
"By what right!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDSnqqOuDL
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBNHyEiYIn
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQFaLFvIzD
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1YXkVz9Zg
Bang!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB7ik6T3jP
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1qQZVApJH
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrFscPMXMj
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0iyQpRqq3
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmHdQuX2oF
Bang!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lI5Rl5g1u
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVq5n1aJ3w
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEO8qLvOq2
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUqGBdV2Aa
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRcxPm7M1l
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm9fHcNe0M
They let out a furious roar.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRdnjjikUA
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHudwCang7U
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IrKV85vOR
However...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6UbY1SJ6
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjSa7wGjhK
But Garros...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HXwA2eZKS
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQIHaCtp5
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97aXrcBzU3
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9M0cqZB3H
Thud! Thud! Thud!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdb5zE5Pu3
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO98HWVt0Q5
After a mere three minutes...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oJzPOeiKf
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5YRsi7eyZ
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRpwaZnQ8A
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bfXHxTbsH
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOBpSxrIGs
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc0wVIfvj3
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQaWjnC5RN
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhXOZME02
In fact...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdruHCebm9U
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IXjsnKmt
Appreciation was one thing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4KWRHDTjJ
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mjvrvB3k
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBggqQ9KpA
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIoW0LjX80
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxl7Q0FRn5
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB94VDjwea
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPbW5LpDlU
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurUFjo2yYo
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3YN7WGRJ
Splash! Splash!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuvrDfq1cg
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtx7wH8T3
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw8nMAjOIv
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPgHuvxZzj
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGirNo0ii7
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZweCAg56
Whoosh!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWsNcBpOKa
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lXI6k2N9I
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V8f8YD5PN
Bang!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnQRs133gd
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcujTZ12D68
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TRHhsbAl
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSNgSBIHft
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbJAw6LA7G
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMk96kpDT
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTARKQujJkP
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdwUppxSby
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB882aAdeEn
Crunch! Crunch!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46vzfL37La
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtghlbMjNz
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNEGkpq09B
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tdhPQLA5X
—Ground-Humping.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdWqnh8TL7
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmxmPYT2OO
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Cjfg6GOJ
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBigu6FIhi
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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebQPcS63Jk
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnmUl21jhQ
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!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZEElkuwZ6
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKPcJepFs6
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.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8tSyVCg1E
