The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TEBGio0Qc
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlVYn6ZnAv
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOzSFTqy8U
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXLE39L8RD
Besides...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dJzVlabDA
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEKpnTtdZ9
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbIiWZQooF
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp4Y0r9XKb
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnbJRiwKFr
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuieXBkywas
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfScLzujii
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmnJvKQBd
"Acceptable."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9BMHM8CmZ
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5HKKFRgCY
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeY7mpgQ9c
"Go then, do what you must."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ12Cspgi1z
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDVwTRCpnf
"Samantha, Gordon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HSQEWayjX
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrATFphTONg
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUuG4DU0Cy
"What do you want to do?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD7dyjDymN
They asked.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcJtSZrQxy
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHpgx1pYR
Garros grinned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6wrWLrnN1
"By what right!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATC0PVuDGP
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmsUPCUaTi
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0CiKD3Ubi
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9sk7cF6EO
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QUGD8vf50
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXtHnAqJLn
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFiYAheZal
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8NWTcJB3G
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yx8v6NA8n
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXMC62Nfnf
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW20b6wW9iQ
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQVzLKlYAP
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADrA5vROtP
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BCg8FkdgE
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7p6Animbk
They let out a furious roar.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9dgSUrURL
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8f9TkdVSN
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWrVyoNwY
However...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpvscsAJ44
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KXlfTXs2R
But Garros...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefrvzhJtEq
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeYMCisvw7
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJgR0dj8pT
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U05ndtLCB
Thud! Thud! Thud!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTGJd105cm
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtMhjIJBb
After a mere three minutes...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkxaWmk3V2
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZOF8vanqf
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnrMMIVdcj
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMlthOYFfj
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUveJfxYt2
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Ch3OFngX
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NSThXNmEX
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9okHkpulFA
In fact...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOwUUuNoRK
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc8MNbnlJb
Appreciation was one thing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBHtR59P6j
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxkOE0kd96
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3NR1gjarr
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFyz4dSkmc
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVffuasOvlc
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXQ912V6RW
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAyF5NJQH4
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pMJKBFXAG
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq3imjnkeO
Splash! Splash!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5aQk2AjzT
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswz7vVBx3z
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0DAgtBHY9
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXOpf3nVx
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnRgJMn4K7
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡResV4J6b7i
Whoosh!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgbXMqk34b
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOoQKzDIU
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ro1ZTKxO
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixgvQFjNjv
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ0lmDZx90
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatxXEbMSlc
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1z8Giv0px
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo14QGSbvyH
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtj2gBB4sM
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIzm1gjpr
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBUFMT1Pba
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr11bMbkam9
Crunch! Crunch!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4dJgld74t
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7dR9pI7KH
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFhP7EbtYv
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXawBpoGzhc
—Ground-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhODdewdns0
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wMoD2xUSa
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn6SvmP1uJ
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hAZ65cM4S
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuofJi9rdwr
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSSOw9CNQm
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!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHN3ZLKKjx
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqc9RhJ5Ln
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIP6wdpfkg
