The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIk3kLEYAQ
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3w9O7aYrM
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp0obQ0xsH
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFQmrAuis
Besides...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1CrAtSSvS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuN9ANYUGw
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x5ecwAetq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3BiQswk6M
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELIbVeiaKH
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3PZdTz9Sa
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGkavLUMKV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mpUoZT6J6
"Acceptable."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom6EB0aUsH
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaswCCi15vb
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYUi6N3jPm
"Go then, do what you must."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3N1MnpfzM
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorHbPaepj1
"Samantha, Gordon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR2I2Hf7Qp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSSRtP3s8b
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmfHwcEzRj
"What do you want to do?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtewZxFQJfj
They asked.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoaBgN6pio
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m9ZsRmAmv
Garros grinned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBkxvM6RM
"By what right!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeEYB8uuOm
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbrTXtCmyb
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmzCVpBGur
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTAoGQpiEM
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYULNqB8a
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPB0V2sq0F
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoGMQ0quMT
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdkwezOVqt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvTLxNuVb
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdho5xwKzzi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpztVjxsll
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG5pQAsGSO
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M0T7262QO
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARQfc7XdHO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWlyXlXoZl
They let out a furious roar.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tcpm8yP7a
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14gLDRXW0h
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H4vHM6ENY
However...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY59UHCbavC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMdQtmFuet
But Garros...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwRNpL5Ws
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO3aZP6pZa
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLab2i2MR8
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIlS5YBJvY
Thud! Thud! Thud!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWZi4ghDma
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oRjy6wtAl
After a mere three minutes...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ab95oc14n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvKsAU6U1
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEOVXYx9a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgavsOtkZPX
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXteimQuiH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW1XN9Yqh5
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCXHcUEPGI
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM7EMzywmJ
In fact...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKCoew5nnb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCGb3BDm8
Appreciation was one thing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvAge8Bd78
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD638ntXeQW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oikvsF0bj
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qHq8vkGBw
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3D7cMQXWH
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwdFgJBP35
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5K33rNIxx
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vamASPOI1
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUItZ1nK2G
Splash! Splash!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPx42Q2fTZ
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbir20b5q4d
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SWGhKcBK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAkHGZCAFs
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgznPIRVchY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX0dC1tFH1
Whoosh!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHaa6LUf0M
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakQ32cLRta
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sntbQU3z6
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz0DYLozWd
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEBpC14QxO
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SQ1EBW6W
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt091QhxzLi
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHsHtRd0v6
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZy2rdBcgb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDW8dbp9X
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rc5BDAoXg
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwpwfOy6BK
Crunch! Crunch!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31z1RSzGl8
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDPdD1PIj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6nwJ5U0SQ
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGryfdBiXo
—Ground-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYooEZxcEt
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcosPB76qo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhwkrwcqTK
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfL6ylqXe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARsuRWv3DQ
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO7bHytovq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjndsOKW27
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCM0e0OSOl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHypEOM8nDc
