The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5XXvwwyJ7
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT2a7Zo4ET
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjf0BN4KeG
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXJSV6YFwb
Besides...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlPQUiOVs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Xfru1l8G
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXV1jyUQzA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oyyDO6Lxp
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycUOlSZxcL
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSbmMl0mj9
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpHGmp1lMO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgDQZ45JGm
"Acceptable."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8058kgDb0r
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPyGY5T8UJ
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubrHEYdFFp
"Go then, do what you must."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxAikpmYMo
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z6jMCLGXf
"Samantha, Gordon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdSh2SqJ5T
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u6KsBH8yH
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQmSYvCTP
"What do you want to do?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD2RxKrN6c
They asked.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xer4zhIfA
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AL1p4kRtc
Garros grinned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYV0HphCbC
"By what right!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb5601FE6m
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASuQSRhMRp
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uz9SPDZnr
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeBxnBI03x
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YSDOnIH0E
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUku365Fl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou4zBtlAdQ
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQnConm4bU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFxauofnls
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWxYfkcyTx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZrQFyKC71
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhwgDl5xxc
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYEHhaJw88
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwCVYyTGpx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Mi9mFudJ
They let out a furious roar.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3oSrKVclG
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSluHknVkb
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQsmwAoEDP
However...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OluwGtiE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukxGldcGjG
But Garros...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcN6Y7hsr8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v1xm5Cy7f
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15XlRFl0K3
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELX6pxH0u
Thud! Thud! Thud!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0IHJKj8R0
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQHEYEHF7w
After a mere three minutes...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSQ6VBO5ue
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyAiiuXSYk
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpNvvxqOa0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANO0yvFGZe
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt6Wh3ZynA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gFFcxJxX3
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zpMN0PeF
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNesoR2y0z
In fact...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHghDjD3K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSW7K9hNlL
Appreciation was one thing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lHuXXbAUm
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ZcsL52xg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULZaviBbry
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHHBFnFRtW
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zyPeeOFYY
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qqcAfd1mt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuuPEEqkcD
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKimGQT2t2
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKlxnIxnL1
Splash! Splash!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhxPiuporE
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7KVb6WYt
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlyDXX0v1n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbBCfjbRyB
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0nAZ2crjI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqWwWcLa4K
Whoosh!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jr9eVhIXI
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcBpX1dR9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzEpim4c9
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Irfu6KHeG
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tMaP2owpO
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4THvG9sG
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJjz7ZmWY
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfdXzA4PsC
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwNXAvDLj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlJKCbaIBY
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqFNnEH1Wz
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4i77dTj13
Crunch! Crunch!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55mE5gm91c
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡers8kQtDIX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Loh4Mygv
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7RI4PETwh
—Ground-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmsOzffRkW
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq7QaSuuDb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HuRKLIeMe
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hl9H1xrY3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtKWd6BFNr
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M9wU6nEuw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ca2oynWI
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGkpL92xpl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8tweWWL1h
