The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPrNh3gxnB
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZO27ufJHI
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRnaOWVcKE
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DoEkBYpU6
Besides...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnoUMLDhzF
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0cRvbFKC
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJTSpK6OIP
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObHyRSKdR0
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxFikBavVJ
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXVlmv49QD
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ODKfrx26
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."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q6LdMyNsG
"Acceptable."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNKoGxMPNO
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpOuSUuGDG
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYoloPX5LQ
"Go then, do what you must."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHaTjryeuD
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEADBYzzYjy
"Samantha, Gordon."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTRA5rZs80
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJJcZYZVJ
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6UU4FMRfw
"What do you want to do?"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUNTNc0Bm
They asked.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIjL8NPagp
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMz7LVfAk
Garros grinned.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC7ZnTMIaa
"By what right!"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhdoBJc2St
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIDWTEp2vy
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXxmvHdZO
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGPdxHagfe
Bang!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmpqKCMyV4
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y7fyf0zTr
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2je7OW6fl
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0XSndmocR
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjzWvH61RQ
Bang!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7JIO7rbGH
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70Injk6ak
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4d8OEAupZ
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtaSnia7RE
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24G32pOGXu
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbkkwHaRjk
They let out a furious roar.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4abZRbpt73
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXCse6LqC0
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURcnSBrlFq
However...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qekrxictw
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1PfPMRG4c
But Garros...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUUmLyPCDu
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweTRprjNf8
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSponEIjw
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetFGkjLuI
Thud! Thud! Thud!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8RFXI7F75
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYvLDTde4M
After a mere three minutes...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C2GcaM8ig
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgki20o3fXV
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzkoQsDVP
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNgcOAZ0lZ
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDsc88WSUL
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNybWpx5LKN
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkQXmK1pDm
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1bPC0ZiMf
In fact...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR991QHYeL
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrrVkia2Qr
Appreciation was one thing.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoeCvXANW1
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2inTk3baO
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgYQvBTz3
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdsmyuwB7I
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSArFVWhuz8
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNc6EDWcnF
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5DYvb3Ohf
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOgSUqER1e
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFrZazr7SW
Splash! Splash!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBCfPMUMe
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgm7Vu1j5e
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTNzcW4bxd
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctQacy4blw
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYRsZs2Yw1
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMVal35OSp
Whoosh!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SXOWy8qVZ
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjkxwm9CEg
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WCP6NymEB
Bang!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiex5ubARuc
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPdP2JQU8
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0SDu8UskQ
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkVAqnerB
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mqdjNAgS7
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJZKkJ3mPL
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PzgInsop2
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03lUTiGkBM
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw1DQEwXtf
Crunch! Crunch!
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyjtr8STMz
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6g8ODRHzt
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAvFq9rJWZ
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTE49j2bxu
—Ground-Humping.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQmDCpzeDu
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BsLaFrvdG
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyLfh5pyzS
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7QGVX3Lyq
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."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10mPNaqYuc
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpDpnZKfmV
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!"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi5lRomkuJ
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesmXHNwCXe
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2fCKGD5eT
