The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkfl6EBaSA
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP81sUNSX3L
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcEfQDJLfh
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRaOlpBjHR
Besides...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt82rVjZmGW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEO6K2eXli
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2FTjVJ524
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIaPTYJLRu
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyvJ1dJcYR
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyRAXcMs7B
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtbCONAp0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAGp6MaToV
"Acceptable."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WdcRJwyAL
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE0Yd8HCLh
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsA0aZ1CQS
"Go then, do what you must."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmmqQRpxBh
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYB3NnEB7
"Samantha, Gordon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaO84wfAdU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH51gabUF5
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE01i45Gxl
"What do you want to do?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbaqsIv8K0
They asked.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAupm7Wkh7i
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH73Xcll84f
Garros grinned.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI1SoVoxLw
"By what right!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGqfF7Orcw
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfalpulAA9T
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmJJHrJ1Nf
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXcrhokLce
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl3MLxtBxi
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFcPal55tM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdyMHW3QKK
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRTLCS8UP8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtQ0LQoW8y
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVbgVSpzmH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xerHQzAYa
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd30OujJnK2
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoAftAamBQ
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZywFN7aFu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BboDjVnQn
They let out a furious roar.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JILJ1Y7qy
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mmcP5G56c
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5JJ9SJeuN
However...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshtLJjIe5u
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GY7PHAepH
But Garros...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsm2k3aBb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf471K4sx2
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5BIGbyLWt
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RKSee2MAW
Thud! Thud! Thud!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBC6aQAoDu
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2iESE5wAK
After a mere three minutes...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DWhKrVVlc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuu7CCywVQ
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiCYqA7Wr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e1OaXLvsE
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi4B6aL3ha
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTny2iePZxS
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp4kfvRl4J
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEraDYfaPDQ
In fact...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1dENnrKG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWvcmsA6zw
Appreciation was one thing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6vOteHO41
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfaVldWQlW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyNqzHl8p
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak6ujtBRmc
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7APN95Kb
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPpCxm11dh
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY6W44lAj9
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7DRdJbGzS
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7wfBIBgAa
Splash! Splash!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM3Kk1QC99
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkgnoXRJsj
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElGEVYJkN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wE4TH33On
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEXy8UrbwO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1Wu1ug9j
Whoosh!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbcGwvl856
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQzL9ehqaP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf40ZE2tyJo
Bang!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6PsQFi0Lu
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX68Q9PI7S
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD3qmb6GqO
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbw8po88vV
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6CtiQcF1q
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PEOGmxbUD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfsZJnGuF
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVplpKNkh
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5lBeC0dBE
Crunch! Crunch!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5cbcWcGNx
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeIUP30HzE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYFR5yZ2gh
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7pftEELtT
—Ground-Humping.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UvKslRfDJ
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KtFsaLeeF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFchKA9Y77r
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0AFoAAwc4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIjEm9vrc
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGmIknW5wU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV0MctdaZ3
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW2BUT8Lfe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO6VKFSoLx
