The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvTiUx9K3
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapdfJxNa0E
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMljb4eAbB
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggrHLX1UlD
Besides...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSJWIcVZwC
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNDwslxlSk
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhtYxUA1s5
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3pzb7Ew1v
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX6T2nOrsg
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2NtGKmZd0
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17lRpX7MbC
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kn8cxvoKW
"Acceptable."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VRJujneW
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqJe4K1yGk
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHn4X7cTPZ
"Go then, do what you must."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i46tys82I
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mv3jibfPv
"Samantha, Gordon."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALJpWJT4Gc
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj94bxLV2OK
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH5I2XqOJ3
"What do you want to do?"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2OtBdLkMG
They asked.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJasnaNJ2
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMihBLXkMi7
Garros grinned.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJkIWN8D5O
"By what right!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOz6kuhkie
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr84RHnrW1Y
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM0yvC9jQT
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW4O6srvj5
Bang!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBJlBPOBZ
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdl0xPbsLk
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSdEKP8CKh
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNm21CNOVD
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYimSrYpRf
Bang!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8z1YuIuHJ
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bapgcF16V
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcb3EsfxP5
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7nJYn5jDG
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwT5ZqtuE
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJafcpDx8yB
They let out a furious roar.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT99sty2mOa
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdIAHidnXn
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSISqjn2wwa
However...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIJCMDwsTm
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa9pgQtMrU
But Garros...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf6WyHQKlQ
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMfuZ6sC0n
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxIfRNzG3I
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBgqArJX9
Thud! Thud! Thud!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGE0kirVQX
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEycGdRxop
After a mere three minutes...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHs1UPUEN
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiYo5SDOpS
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkpQoYwfVa
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGwfwOoWgA
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKrc9oXECz
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3noWlgAUA2
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7YOhOE7ic
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBnl7NaAW0
In fact...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfONEG8Foii
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8myrUm4zvL
Appreciation was one thing.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24PJeQvSjI
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqujBa2Irb
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ttaq91WHC
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hPsFmb7zf
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aec4LsaAE
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieWRsu1BZP
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBioqeIRKkb
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKmtLbhnkk
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmCYH9hy5G
Splash! Splash!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrSEijXLeO
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN91u27K9m
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcm4hA2V0M
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTW17o5bER
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi11ybmqO5
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCt7MM1D23
Whoosh!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC48bHhqEh
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmRSWguzHR
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqzVZnxufe
Bang!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDsuRyg6m
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kIgZvvFXo
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPjEZws8AD
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXbMOlJhVp
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7x1nUlCHT
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLgtoKwhom
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2UXUm8tAf
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCsJep3Eje
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKotrQoG4Z
Crunch! Crunch!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZIx8hOpsw
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SY1QVG0S
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVEK8fiuPz
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpc3kIOuz
—Ground-Humping.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCZI17uMq
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoUKztDVJc
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqCZ3k80n
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMUUHQWLxc
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."
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSB2VOZjuS
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xMUExnwO
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!"
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCmjqZgrf
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjMuh8WCI
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.94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS3LvfAFHg
