Bernardo is the name of the planet beneath Garros's feet.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5bUpKMGFv
On this planet, magical culture is highly developed, and every nation is sparing no effort in developing magical technology.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFooRBiKXP
Highly advanced nations have even built interstellar spaceships using magic engines, acquiring resources from the Universe by exploring outer space and other planets.

"Dragonkin are nearly the top-tier creatures, but in this world, they cannot be called invincible."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nWzqmqblC
Garros blinked as he gazed at the Fake Moon in the sky.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOkcGAtPfL
The Legacy mentioned that there was once an Ancient Blue Dragon known as [Wings of Hurricane] who was hunted by Nausir for a long time after destroying several cities in the Nausir Elven Empire.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqIc8ycMjd
Eventually, using a city as bait, Nausir trapped the Wings of Hurricane with a great magic formation.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKa6DgpKX
The Fake Moon descended a beam of light that destroyed everything, killing the Wings of Hurricane.

"Moreover, the other biological races on Planet Bernardo have a poor impression of Chromatic Dragons and Ferrous Dragons; once discovered, they will immediately prepare for a crusade."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIBSqQuln7
The Dragon Clan has many classifications.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ueHUC9S2
For instance, the most common ones are the Chromatic Dragons, Metallic Dragons, and Gem Dragons, followed by the Ferrous Dragons.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLU5uBTM2y
Because Chromatic Dragons are inherently evil and keen on causing destruction, they are identified as Evil Dragons. Ferrous Dragons are even seen as the 'mad dogs' among Dragonkin, frequently killing their own kind, let alone other biological races.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBLTRIxZ2e
"I am a Hybrid Dragon of Chromatic and Sub-Iron Bloodlines, specifically a mix of Red Dragon and Iron Dragon. I'm afraid I'll be seen as the most evil among Evil Dragons—a naturally wicked Dragonkin seed, so terrifying that I must not be allowed to live."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ333PzXVAmj
He sat down by the lakeside.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgMbRzvwCE
The Young Dragon's tail was submerged in the water, swaying back and forth.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CCoRTJea2
Moonlight shone on Garros as he felt the comfort of his tail drifting in the water, with occasional small fish cleaning away weeds and dust, while he pondered in his heart.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg1LVwpSqD
"I should still train more and strengthen myself."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpan3vdK3d
"Only by becoming strong will I have more confidence when facing potential dangers in the future."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGBLUMa2vi
This dragon life has only just begun, and Garros hoped to live as long as possible, not wanting to be like his previous life, where he met with a fatal accident right in the prime of his eighteen years.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62Mu6Cs8H
"First, set a small goal: live to be a hundred."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWbHS9mjv
"Wait, Dragonkin only reach adulthood at a hundred; I'd better hope for a thousand-year lifespan."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiARARs231
Garros leaned backward.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV62bbLx0OV
The Young Dragon's body crashed through the water's surface, splashing countless crystal-clear droplets under the moonlight. He dove to the deepest part of the lake, enduring the heavy water pressure without breathing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ3L6sGqq9
—Dragonkin can actually breathe underwater.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8unZnKRzE
Garros simply wanted to train his cardiopulmonary capacity and his affinity for the water element.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjruvVTQx9
Thanks to various daily training sessions, his lungs were much stronger than those of ordinary Dragonkin, and the intensity and duration of his Dragon Breath were superior to those of a normal Young Dragon.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BkroPgdQD
Additionally, both Iron Dragons and Red Dragons are fire-attribute dragons and do not actually like water.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYThqr8vC
The hybrid Garros was the same—a definitive fire-attribute dragon.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZqlms99C9
Attacks with attributes like water or ice would deal double damage to him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaoviQ9KIE
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pyu1Oaz5W
To prevent being caught off guard by attribute-countering attacks one day, Garros had been enduring his aversion to water for several years, occasionally soaking in it for desensitization and adaptation.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1k7gbl1Fr
By now, his instinctive aversion to water had completely vanished.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjo7KZhO6J
Although he hadn't actually encountered a water-attribute attack and couldn't be certain of his water element affinity, Garros felt that, at the very least, he wouldn't take double damage.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHczIyhkdU
Suddenly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMBveQzTzE
A slight ripple in the water came from behind him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5K27hpBKD
A dark shadow approached rapidly and launched an attack on Garros.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h3DSac6e4
Garros keenly captured the change in the current. Before the attack could land, he turned his body, raised his dragon claw, and struck out fiercely.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZKUJ96jVm
Boom!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMq7rJAHs
A black dragon claw and a fiery Red Dragon claw collided, sending a shockwave through the water.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHGiWIBVjW
The fiery Red Dragon claw locked with Garros's, attempting a contest of strength.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpd7m9v0ah
However.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hR4xliZSN
Garros's strength was astonishing. The powerful muscles beneath his dragon scales bulged, even lifting the scales slightly. His claw pressed back the fiery red one inch by inch, forcing it to retreat.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25WommJ8TX
The contest of strength was lost.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Kqqa1NMF
The owner of the fiery red claw withdrew it and stared at Garros with a pair of Red Dragon pupils, saying in a crisp, displeased voice, "Garros, you wretched hybrid, I will defeat you sooner or later!"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6PCDUcAwX
Hatchling Samantha was Garros's biological Red Dragon Sister, a pure-blooded Red Dragon.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp0uFwc6Ld
In the Dragon Clan, hybrids are rare because Dragonkin Bloodlines are overbearing and difficult to fuse.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Zwc8JS5A
For example, when a Red Dragon and an Iron Dragon conceive offspring, there is a very high probability of producing a pure-blooded Red Dragon or a pure-blooded Iron Dragon; the offspring will inherit the Bloodline of one parent. Hybrid Dragons like Garros, who can fuse the blood of Red and Iron, are few in number.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopAKzWfub0
Slap!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOUACCcM0e
Garros slapped the red Hatchling on the head with his claw.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICj5PDuiZs
"When dealing with a Dragonkin stronger than you, watch your tone and choice of words."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd20Hj6OCW
This slap sent the red Hatchling's head tilting sharply, nearly knocking her off balance; the force was not light.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvbT7mVSzK
Between Dragons, especially Evil Dragons, strength is often what speaks. Only power can earn the respect of other Evil Dragons, and Garros had grown accustomed to this way of communication.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltJGlLkPFX
Red Dragon Sister hatched a year later than Garros.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4pIJao4Vi
At that time, Garros saw that his dragon sister was chubby and round, looking cute and honest, so he tore off a piece of meat from the food he was eating and gave it to her.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrrnYTw2Gu
As a result.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ILS9uc4n
Instead, she thought Garros was weak and took advantage of him. Her Evil Dragon nature flared up, and she ordered Garros to hand over all his food. The other Iron Dragon Brother, who hatched at the same time, also thought Garros was weak and conspired with Red Dragon Sister to extort Garros's food.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEfoip5414
After being rejected by Garros, the two actually used their claws to try and snatch all of Garros's food.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7n0lOgazW
Afterward, Garros pinned them to the ground and gave them a severe beating, and they only behaved after several of their teeth were knocked out.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DvCP5473E
As a Hybrid Dragon, Garros was naturally stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon or Iron Dragon, not to mention he was a year older.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcauFs8HDci
Meanwhile.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeWn7JV8Nm
After taking the slap, Red Dragon Sister bared her teeth, wanting to fight back, but when she saw the fierce glint in Garros's eyes, she sensibly restrained herself.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBJwJJlfji
Red Dragons worship violence and like to solve problems through force.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3QvkXXkl
However, when their violence is weaker than the opponent's, they will endure for the time being, waiting to surpass them before taking vicious revenge.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtMvbqVfXz
Furthermore, she had received plenty of beatings from Garros over the years and knew that this dragon brother of hers would not show any mercy.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wEQyh7uwZ
"My respected brother."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWHXZZkWNx
Red Dragon Sister softened her tone and said, "Mother wants you to go to the dragon nest."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTZnq84Eu
After stating her purpose for finding Garros, she muttered under her breath, "Spending every day soaking in water... you're really strange. You made me have to come into the water too."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ZfkfmSIb
Red Dragon Sister was completely uncomfortable in the water, her dragon face filled with an expression of disgust.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wUSMNCxV
She wiggled her tail and waist, floating rapidly toward the surface and leaving the lake water ahead of Garros.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqP5ogsC7U
Garros was in no hurry. He flapped his wings in the water and then burst out, soaring through the air. He overtook Red Dragon Sister and flew toward the dragon nest.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurmqdLDoW5
The dragon nest—it was located on the cliff face of the eastern side of the sinkhole.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8LbSYc91J
From the outside, it looked like a simple and rugged cave.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY9WY4Rmhn
Moonlight could not reach inside the dragon nest, but the stone walls inside were plated with a layer of strange metal. Some areas emitted a bright glow, so it was not dark inside.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFvQsvVHUw
Garros folded his wings and walked with alternating limbs, stepping across the metallized floor as he went deeper inside.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7209wYDCbB
The deeper he went, the more metal there was around him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch1kwq7h4I
Clusters of metal bloomed like flowers on the stone walls, and some angular metal pillars protruded from the ground.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrzSL2xPeV
Finally, when Garros reached the deepest part of the cave, his vision suddenly opened up as he arrived in a massive 'hollow.'
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBI3zxI86h
This core of the dragon nest was not a crude cavern in the traditional sense.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIPR92xVQp
The surrounding ground and stone walls were covered in a layer of soft yet tough metal, its texture similar to mercury, but with rust-colored ripples on the surface.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAliRWBwLc
To the north stood a thirty-meter-high tiered metal platform, atop which was Iron Dragon Mother's exclusive throne.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0wsgJvHg5
—It was forged from countless swords and halberds. The weapons of the defeated were now solidified into steps, with each level inscribed with dragon language runes.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJ8Z4KT6w
Garros looked up.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyR0cLPS0
On the throne was a behemoth twenty meters long, whose breath created air currents like howling gales—a true dragon.75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFaob4LY9e
