The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSc9W2IFe3
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFUp3aQBBH
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DNWaCTouj
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGSBIi0Epb
Besides...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIIFSVl1c4
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAcTIy9yBf
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FxX8TVnf
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27asl4NTi5
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3kZJRRDTE
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPJy4sU6rb
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YepUVw9kQ
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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfnTn4TKoz
"Acceptable."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM13PPwiIK7
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76MzUNVdR2
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEh7TsNCA
"Go then, do what you must."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapz3OvCPVC
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP4xBOSytM
"Samantha, Gordon."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiTkRYtUg0
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLmcptOSL
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa1UWx41CT
"What do you want to do?"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpZQ9G9Mz
They asked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Le5g4ezE
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ515Ft4DE4w
Garros grinned.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOve2vQPnHj
"By what right!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9IbsVS67
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78zqYauhcS
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E6HG1MSWu
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zTlHoM9JO
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElJf1s5a2m
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJbufDjCt
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Aqdx7fok
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mq7BeUnmo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6inmly6Ctg
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQW3a0b6g4
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgNn3YhBsL
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fWW78qTQt
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nHcCWObyN
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Bi9qTKpO
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwQqkJ4x0s
They let out a furious roar.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQB3d7oap
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNwArsxdJO
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQJU9UWvyf
However...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVeYit9hWQ
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4sFBbFRCO
But Garros...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgkIosUH1M
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpePUlE6xlz
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bO7E6TQL
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbwoVHsl8E
Thud! Thud! Thud!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdwBGXfdfX
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2wzxA2biC
After a mere three minutes...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLmdVu7bIh
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcDgUsagfJ
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYv3G9h2S
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCuPqbhx9Y
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCQfzPqSG
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2zVjbYP3M
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXml42zUEgU
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2MDON0Ngw
In fact...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFd5vXah3z
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJlxOgChTC
Appreciation was one thing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45g1v0jBi
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2UW7Fn0Js
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZED4eeRu4
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JGnXBocQc
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMPYqX0GDz
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCaBc59mBp
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0CXosjGqr
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeboDG4QsvP
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8NktIdbjq
Splash! Splash!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ri6AWDFR
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dhDH8zZZQ
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2MXGbnlqI
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAy8BOkRUA
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyqJLHmFie
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbY7O8O5gB
Whoosh!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF58rr4VGN
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYF13SmX2A
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaKT8LQJl2
Bang!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oPWY6Zsxx
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA43KdbyTR
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8V9FwXVh5
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSMHeSJLM9
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYZKx3FPtv
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4TjaFw1A6
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKWml0jiF
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nkxE6gw8r
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRuS10EYSS
Crunch! Crunch!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXol4VWAOUa
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VwbU5SjM5
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc15OqGcPRa
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDO0gJrlX
—Ground-Humping.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5XrYNI8N
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDDBswG4MG
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6znEmUnjkd
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL73ofkQNxa
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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iBwAGzvY7
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajUg1jorEu
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!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4pQGdwFC
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5VCKVWcem
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.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q5RbWRJja
