The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwuwgPeSB
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqgj47dsL0
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm60I12wkZq
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsdGiXpvsK
Besides...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrLdwhm3gZ
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs7TdbqiCN
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEtjlmZMdx
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JqP55QvOl
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57s4SIrRKt
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJZyBYLO12
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8yJ3pzyUN
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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4VYkoEDW3
"Acceptable."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKobiAblAo
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQtBUAB1T
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS71cZNyEQ
"Go then, do what you must."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprjTzi9Fcr
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5rbpq4tTd
"Samantha, Gordon."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MNS1RjJHU
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDghYFW2E6C
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpnxxA877i
"What do you want to do?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHj7ygnub
They asked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoKidb2Md6
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfH5bRuBGG
Garros grinned.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz70CjokeP
"By what right!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yrWJAeS8z
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAk4G6V4an
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYITX5xmNYc
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhxDGGZ0Yb
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8F2n96qE6
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFi7rT93KB
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZDwdRGF2w
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRzRYytxll
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse96p6bA5a
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PBKzI7j7j
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09GUy4QIxv
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQ2F8SO5J
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡton8sEqE4B
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjfi7iAX7T
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0OUa8Hyl
They let out a furious roar.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIwqQS1shF
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnSXtyp0zA
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv5Ce8AVzg
However...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHazhcrsKo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0BKFf4OQx
But Garros...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiGQu1639b
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONoWGZPyp
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH1CQFW13J
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaU3Z61qDO
Thud! Thud! Thud!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLzOGBKuDe
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqPW076zlm
After a mere three minutes...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEWXa3xbkk
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRXjmhXAso
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroiisEApnJ
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd04AVLXkyP
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBoeh3R84X
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttGnFcgeCA
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOCSA6h8Od
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0QCJRQ5X1
In fact...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2lPw6eFEO
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ0UWHwlE3
Appreciation was one thing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4ray49v4
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJoRLTYMq
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewidy9n9Bc
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mS988C6lf
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck24H8Yn50
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcqsyugHZ2
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv1OBE8M6x
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvshFFX0q2
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7JnG58FcL
Splash! Splash!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94bBPSgLFZ
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFV1Jci0tQ
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGjDLRsF6a
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaapjLv5gI
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPHCLaoUE
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWiot4Db6m
Whoosh!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZRIbJwj00
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1fLBMDgtu
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJB8IA3A5p
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRxsMaK8D
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0gbsaoVv
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8CXv3RZIL
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9HFGi3qd
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeqZH2alNE
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydhv5Itpx
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDk4N9falL
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVMjSs7l1B
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMzDOmYZKJ
Crunch! Crunch!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjcfWKTCFT
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91vMvb3TlO
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoqIVMdQvD
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYVAzLqqG2
—Ground-Humping.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ypR1GNRR
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMbaqjJzB
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOvFuXU48H
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnds5hGn19
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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqlWUXp98
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycFe7f9vOC
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!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiIESpwONF
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWDUyZB6hT
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.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBVbYikCQO
