The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwEoZo6BN
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOtw6STbWW
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwK1cSPwrb
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5c2cXCQdS
Besides...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjunqOUKdl1
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQu0tUuXRv
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL7Yd8IfYn
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQbukcRGG
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ431VBQOa3K
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPKHmUGVua
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsDsTofN2g
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."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW30jPaYhO7
"Acceptable."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYQsmFo7dp
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFpkkHw67X
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL0hjM5q3O
"Go then, do what you must."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSOQDQjwe
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklbKhagKKT
"Samantha, Gordon."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44BhEP0X5N
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBG3yUk6cJ
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA81gAGZ2O
"What do you want to do?"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEuco3s4Hz
They asked.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyuxCkT4Gr
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN8mBrk7YA
Garros grinned.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzLWw3SRNF
"By what right!"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50rZOZLqb
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfRL7jtfgO
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWOmdP9V69
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpjsCBMVi
Bang!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RbaD6SqCb
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ILhJPObC
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAksiTqeTfZ
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZkPM0IyLB
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fpVjWWORQ
Bang!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6gI5uRdP
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vXq1zLuja
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lmbsz1Ltm
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeZlOhbh7i
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHGnnk6Xfu
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA0TlnlxJR
They let out a furious roar.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVmgsSOwUk
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgPoNCoX1A
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5sQxISjut
However...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXebmwxiTxJ
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt97qfX8Cb
But Garros...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUdcMPAtZu
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv77GHtBev
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJNTmEe065
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y7jSyXk47
Thud! Thud! Thud!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7IIIa4LjI
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QkKIUlgGF
After a mere three minutes...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYvld9oyU
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJio5f19QEG
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHvQxlbeTD
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5feuvnalpb
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9pFAvWNU
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOGD9WyUwR
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YdyYNx1Qw
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKqdDrk8xH
In fact...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxer3xcIe9A
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi6hlmUMIp
Appreciation was one thing.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OQc4DzUMI
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuD2EnnlsH
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVNw0c1mop
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpntdh6lF4T
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCterM485T
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaZfuSqbWx
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgocjc2HFMU
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoulXAFY8Md
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SF4z5sU57
Splash! Splash!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAoC9ViqaN
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDR3cAMDr
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQZpxtRo1
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L25S945ib
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawhCVpGYQl
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj14fUFJ6V
Whoosh!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvVrFJiJpu
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvrLPsCJB
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFSGE5VJYF
Bang!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Bw9oB8tV
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwLUiUtDX
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gGFd2bqsL
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG7C2rjdfB
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF8Zkctkyz
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHp9NYE56z
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y3pMSmfGk
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbuFWR9ruw
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpNXalDq4O
Crunch! Crunch!
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFDeKo4QX
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VGVFz1uuv
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8onSlTKkTH
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnGsKG9y8D
—Ground-Humping.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72hSXV878K
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsfZptQSTD
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.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtF2lBXsA7
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeDuFlu20f
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."
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnE8Rewt5D
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bRuNQTHam
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!"
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YM8w6dIIX
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MzLfknJwk
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhHQiDWSyz
