The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650uC1BejW
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQmicy8kxb
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoMzyMu3MO
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0OHYEJnfx
Besides...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyaEnH1OyE
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxxZ3SSwkG
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQUrpbRFOa
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqNC8HYVQ8
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDMAfaBzun
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIim1KbslCH
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeR3KTDWlF
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyS2ph8XVV
"Acceptable."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUY0cNgpI1
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SxBB9ChDj
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEklctYeHP
"Go then, do what you must."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5hfOdxcik
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKvlz2fuF9
"Samantha, Gordon."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH58WAhU3bO
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb87Ag1uOTL
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDVeEUpwUU
"What do you want to do?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rcEZRM4mE
They asked.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCTxUdMATy
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhzf1fv68q
Garros grinned.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCy9CBP5fj
"By what right!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHkr1CXbbs
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCiG2uJjn2
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ61ncWbjE
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEYLidGnsZ
Bang!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLdWsMsOoW
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHltKuJgSQ
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDeWbulXL
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMBObqApx
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07f1r7r5Gw
Bang!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYREqokFR8
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq0aCA3TgO
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJH6LP7yz
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXEsT5FROY
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcS5v3FJgT
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSAwpQlFux
They let out a furious roar.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuDfnBe2bw
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911NdO3yhQ
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFRUS3MoBC
However...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvngVasSWE6
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69nbACaCCM
But Garros...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyadIqvIlME
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQx7eLlnfX
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGI1gwF9Kn
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVFSIAkLph
Thud! Thud! Thud!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmg9v1AQVr
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlSo0wEb5s
After a mere three minutes...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTocpP0TIOR
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeCFmlvCyH
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcz1Dkdfiz
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE6nj1J78N
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7yzxafQai
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRi6PaS0d
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9L5JwiUam
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZagmUbqW2p
In fact...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ1JZb737j
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbts9YcwuAk
Appreciation was one thing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyurx8TcCks
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh69JrOlb4s
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCkVnMn6l
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TNzcyiIul
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqP32VU8hs
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡant27fIS3R
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMj5Dr3m22
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVmvgpgGeN
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3OUu5DzY
Splash! Splash!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3elhimXzX
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuDoJsj7rT
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxo80joCZJ
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTv5ewKSk
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rSfGVI8G
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtx0PJlKp6
Whoosh!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwuZizoswm
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNisWyDVSiD
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM38J04qc9L
Bang!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD3Z2Osd19
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHecJoE6cD8
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMo9VFGG57
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWEYm5vQ9j
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYewQdKsrvc
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPE2LgRBwV
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIXRU9Y9B9
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MFPMf9cj3
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqD9dAI1ge
Crunch! Crunch!
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLu4ObU1dZ
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbktk69cJ
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhOg8pUPbi
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhHBuA6uQZ
—Ground-Humping.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dzEyqTY68
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcygzZvUKr
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoIvREf0tp
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBVNvmSJbK
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgCyyZmPV
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEgdHV4B3
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!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19y1FGzfZ
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMTG1PpflP
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.95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LWjpFEIj8
