The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPr89V2qYc
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW61DVw8Kzv
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSprmWC0nX
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zN97n398s
Besides...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgkwiHA4R6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSGYT5Bkrq
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GjK2EneIr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitElI6ITQD
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfSnfjCe2x
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0ppkPIQi
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj0U1AYdb7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf41lcC0e7S
"Acceptable."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6NpDa5IBr
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0HMd62khT
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbFWEy4CaY
"Go then, do what you must."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gIFw8qsiD
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkieU40QxU
"Samantha, Gordon."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNJE36ZnpJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrybB0CzhlY
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtliyIPsiTj
"What do you want to do?"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjBj8GPCBa
They asked.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BxOeQfUG
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrCylppsV
Garros grinned.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvzWtTWizT
"By what right!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJJbcfeCg7
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSVlKlalfS
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo9aID4gID
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCT8jp7FgO
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJPKyU2OZs
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmtR8d4xS7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl43ZwWQjxP
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb8NCqaETD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9rbrsDVU2
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5tzaXbGzJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7cvn7c64O
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5Y1JNQG9
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFh82IK2zh
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRmtZGnZqm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdYFl8s7yP
They let out a furious roar.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFMlvjCuVn
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6BnrW00CB
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDdZa9a2X3
However...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPiUnu8Bu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpiwHipLe
But Garros...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZD9PKqoIf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi2pfOmmiw
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxArtvs8oA8
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORYK9b2Io
Thud! Thud! Thud!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZrJxKZjOs
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmEebXPFNF
After a mere three minutes...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7SQXUrBU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0IluEKKv
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU3uEL4JdW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURI3PdpieF
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaIeobH84b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQQCZBe9d8
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt72Qw9hiDB
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdr15z7jB
In fact...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC33Y5HvrKS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfi2FawCjr
Appreciation was one thing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZfHfRInd
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aiLc63e6F
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFYegmTXqL
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC83bB3Fqa
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69yQq42jpG
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfk9Onv89I
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlHZGIdqEH
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwBdkRUHOQ
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvp0qLpPV2
Splash! Splash!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC7GjeaSkS
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz8MqNHgza
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojc9q5uvKs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajXxk3Udst
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpgxdmlGjM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljRc9lVZjY
Whoosh!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCQtCXeC6N
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4QIEPQSxH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIug3LxBSrO
Bang!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDQfuKfV2
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg2wdgGvKw
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQoxM2Gp0a
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMgOyPn8hq
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDxQqLj3Fe
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCkNf5GIY4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUSFyDNjSP
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBZfk1r9FG
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19s5NBVDVQ
Crunch! Crunch!
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gw2O5Zkt
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpNwiWEtHh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuknTfOVlU
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt6hHpOhzD
—Ground-Humping.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJy9tdpFFP
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY08XYgAII3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWiMU3bOUO
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPSeYbpDak
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9jtAriNdu
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMomAyFVXC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmQJHBfPAZ
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSs4mju26O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiuqF5NlCq
