The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElZUfysVBD
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAxvyHwsHA
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0CMiZY3P
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuJEq0SMcI
Besides...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLkQTcMCNO
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LTVhX5PI
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO4viEDmqp
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwspPlCMNz
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzPNKslU2W
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zRcHPhcn
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsedozpJG84
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbItvO4qo5
"Acceptable."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQx2jLO6yP
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjuF9ST46
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHBdXC2D5H
"Go then, do what you must."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jKUpmujqx
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn297VZSvL
"Samantha, Gordon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFZhAlC4W2
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWEHMXCcOx
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTVXP5GGL8
"What do you want to do?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8RPvP6uJ
They asked.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVR62VAYC
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDUgPCMmpZ
Garros grinned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzvkUwBZqM
"By what right!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01h78ppzQ
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAMxYph5uW
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibWVlRIjXC
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviq57IBzZC
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCl0hNQIE
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs1Volik3q
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNNmesnqXP
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhwkId69j0
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwcKroSxdt
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6RVceYhW
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BbUrMa7y
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AglqyvgtU
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7GroL2a6l
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2CGTQ0nRI
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdAnKEbTIb
They let out a furious roar.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHehGvWGf
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk8bbaoNjv
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrh2GoEIUA
However...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFTKROA8YG
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GMsVTanc8
But Garros...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVgRaxJXmU
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yKFyVZpOX
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNce7rUYo7
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0nCsbTtY3
Thud! Thud! Thud!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAWgPzGeY
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKklcWed9U
After a mere three minutes...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjLaEziWMT
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUW4YR4bcX
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e4H7uLGxf
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqrGD5imG9
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOHLJeFyn
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EoORrE8p9
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVCOActiyw
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRn0SHfOaI
In fact...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCNqPvSNsx
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBClAHbaK7R
Appreciation was one thing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBlP2Q34N0
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPiSUiryMM
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObo0TwqM1
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX1QEdDcSS
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cF25xRkT8
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB3JCRI0HM
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnl9TEHByp
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtCZ36upo
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y7VqyKJRr
Splash! Splash!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmDwNKG8h8
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr7ViBCRwz
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuGPdzFFKs
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJyH2221mn
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20yUNQuzZU
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEDMg08CWb
Whoosh!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZwb1Ridvv
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6UHtSG1c
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerweQbPjDW
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0zgMf4Lw
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0qWSwXn6c
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDZ6OUIYj
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7b75FamvZ
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqImcm7nak
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPvB2TKQvN
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hfAhRFJzR
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIDl4rqssc
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CAUlsCxft
Crunch! Crunch!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCFWjxkc3E
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDOJCDcJJ
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDtdPhnfrq
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxZNWDGlFR
—Ground-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQnifPtEmb
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkldDYdSp1
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tq0psaep
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X4PYY5ONG
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK3P6J513e
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Qzox0k0H
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!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNg1zQp2oZ
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNHqipbX4v
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1eowcBpP
