The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp00NqLL8h
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlBVCaVuUr
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBqJPhrgiJ
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvu7m6lev
Besides...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDRTK6EfHp
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVewvVnhCqV
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRp3xSbVGt
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRAHzYvS9
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwWf7iF4tY
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9y2yZSSQy
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluEWDAU9Yk
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."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AXexyaaOz
"Acceptable."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZltGUd7AJ
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrD8LGob9K
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0odNDAce5
"Go then, do what you must."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rI3IZYHqr
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7xEUQfOcr
"Samantha, Gordon."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OTjJnaWm
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMIfgbXnKT
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNuwYSsr7O
"What do you want to do?"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv1gmoGQYy
They asked.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoklZVfmcq4
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhh7uDAClF
Garros grinned.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1w291ODCz
"By what right!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnseREjeZj1
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAB6MTLbuM
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsc7WMJ3os
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I4zUV0bWu
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCqmFJzNHB
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86A94Mc5mJ
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmXoRPkL3g
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19zsBFsPAV
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksLRWTt9w
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G7DmbBckS
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnOIiP7Vvz
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemaVDF2ze8
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61KGkw5xxg
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DK4oxEAV
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsMJXL5GqA
They let out a furious roar.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVxF396g7G
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaotWA7C8SU
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOF9oqaUWD
However...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97z4n5m0XG
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtoBRV6hbu
But Garros...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0WHw7aFmP
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZgHLpKF8i
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a5XHQ6VjH
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayJePaAvgG
Thud! Thud! Thud!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfb9EQ5fTQ
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQxTddTNr
After a mere three minutes...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps6T6yII6y
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uHxEcA2Eq
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNKbRLNarK
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mm4uiv9cc
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9G5g1NPIH
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ysLonqbn
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpDbtBIwqF
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwpHyW4rde
In fact...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6PyD9CZt
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3IXIdDHwZ
Appreciation was one thing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6qnLyxiz
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHViE20cZXp
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewlOIwZWi
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9AHEE5zsx
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQQWsEb4FV
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMj0GP1wN2
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL0IyysU9h
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgeP9GqHyc
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOFsIID9F
Splash! Splash!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnPIjaNy2n
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLrkPANtB
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCHGKvs2W
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFboraY63y
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq0D0Awdr4
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkBkvJ9JE
Whoosh!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl2podExQP
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZHwXxO66
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq63vgyslE
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6sVEuBlx
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsAAHoknHZ
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdehK7thf9C
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenKiU0spJn
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNSZkcgYdP
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL13YnsKijf
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVa4iYYGFL
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTt3NSC98
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dyzj9c7Gq
Crunch! Crunch!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7p6PMpmZH
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vXITRlq7K
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UqJ2hMb7j
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5VGOP13K
—Ground-Humping.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oAxUYlQMK
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3rbpQDR7L
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.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuS1283S6h
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhsbdqVVyc
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."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD8tVL5S3E
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5tXyGNRhr
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!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhZbbC51t4
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoNjSTLDWr
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.71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMrtXTEmC
