Bernardo is the name of the planet beneath Garros's feet.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGqqCFguFQE
On this planet, magical culture is highly developed, and every nation is sparing no effort in developing magical technology.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVvxOMImjDS
Highly advanced nations have even built interstellar spaceships using magic engines, acquiring resources from the Universe by exploring outer space and other planets.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAiGgRH1T40K
"Dragonkin are nearly the top-tier creatures, but in this world, they cannot be called invincible."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8oQ71mRTkB
Garros blinked as he gazed at the Fake Moon in the sky.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaErRzgC2GU
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAjWlxg0JUTo
Eventually, using a city as bait, Nausir trapped the Wings of Hurricane with a great magic formation.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXqt0mP6pEj
The Fake Moon descended a beam of light that destroyed everything, killing the Wings of Hurricane.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMddp8kxkoL
"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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAYY28vxdHvY
The Dragon Clan has many classifications.
50Please respect copyright.PENANARV8LcZasnS
For instance, the most common ones are the Chromatic Dragons, Metallic Dragons, and Gem Dragons, followed by the Ferrous Dragons.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAE7MKpDKh3T
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAorMiBXdlNI
"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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ZpjGeCM0
He sat down by the lakeside.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ6NbzaqHs
The Young Dragon's tail was submerged in the water, swaying back and forth.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0l16Oc7D8V
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ1BvV67xy
"I should still train more and strengthen myself."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAyhWozbMIev
"Only by becoming strong will I have more confidence when facing potential dangers in the future."
50Please respect copyright.PENANACsleL7X75t
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWPsiAZHEnx
"First, set a small goal: live to be a hundred."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtUyAdoKG8d
"Wait, Dragonkin only reach adulthood at a hundred; I'd better hope for a thousand-year lifespan."
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8FBe5ouHHt
Garros leaned backward.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6k1UE5vvFB
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMylkicao
—Dragonkin can actually breathe underwater.
50Please respect copyright.PENANACT5KEqAe4m
Garros simply wanted to train his cardiopulmonary capacity and his affinity for the water element.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Ws1GFFq2
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAFEZX6VmKDh
Additionally, both Iron Dragons and Red Dragons are fire-attribute dragons and do not actually like water.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOmq1e2NGVm
The hybrid Garros was the same—a definitive fire-attribute dragon.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKbV5BueFsz
Attacks with attributes like water or ice would deal double damage to him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA4RaV4Xd00r
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoePwjb0XsF
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVSgjTuvvbb
By now, his instinctive aversion to water had completely vanished.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOAMhou8pkf
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAT3FYljLHei
Suddenly.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8GI3BEBTOl
A slight ripple in the water came from behind him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAM6Opo6UsRE
A dark shadow approached rapidly and launched an attack on Garros.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8nd2h0hUAz
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANABKNL3e4n5p
Boom!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAaNj4WJFnrc
A black dragon claw and a fiery Red Dragon claw collided, sending a shockwave through the water.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHpdOpJxKrG
The fiery Red Dragon claw locked with Garros's, attempting a contest of strength.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHultb8q7MG
However.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA5yjmDLPt52
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAgE4Qyf8sBG
The contest of strength was lost.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAVF0DvzbfvK
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!"
50Please respect copyright.PENANA6XqCSpKCO0
Hatchling Samantha was Garros's biological Red Dragon Sister, a pure-blooded Red Dragon.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAkFw8pjk81X
In the Dragon Clan, hybrids are rare because Dragonkin Bloodlines are overbearing and difficult to fuse.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAudz0XbVQos
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA7P3z48XSel
Slap!
50Please respect copyright.PENANAd9toyga468
Garros slapped the red Hatchling on the head with his claw.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATzBguWTIze
"When dealing with a Dragonkin stronger than you, watch your tone and choice of words."
50Please respect copyright.PENANANnAYLXJ9UZ
This slap sent the red Hatchling's head tilting sharply, nearly knocking her off balance; the force was not light.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxtEaOfUxrw
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATVKvt8ryYl
Red Dragon Sister hatched a year later than Garros.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8vC7rB1cJn
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAY8XDeVDxG1
As a result.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAHfdmaq7Rb2
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAfnriz4qtbq
After being rejected by Garros, the two actually used their claws to try and snatch all of Garros's food.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAc63rb4QFOl
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJHCkeWyzX2
As a Hybrid Dragon, Garros was naturally stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon or Iron Dragon, not to mention he was a year older.
50Please respect copyright.PENANANBAPJvbevj
Meanwhile.
50Please respect copyright.PENANApqPMzmiHqy
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ch0ESANL1
Red Dragons worship violence and like to solve problems through force.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbWIeqi7Z
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZlXBomPdMI
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAdftZOnST9L
"My respected brother."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAMYRdxNIe0T
Red Dragon Sister softened her tone and said, "Mother wants you to go to the dragon nest."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAl0ssHeNv8R
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."
50Please respect copyright.PENANAYliOiABbmf
Red Dragon Sister was completely uncomfortable in the water, her dragon face filled with an expression of disgust.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAXBjTrsesl2
She wiggled her tail and waist, floating rapidly toward the surface and leaving the lake water ahead of Garros.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAQp7pEDSjJM
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANATxFEqeaedO
The dragon nest—it was located on the cliff face of the eastern side of the sinkhole.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAmse9dENG1D
From the outside, it looked like a simple and rugged cave.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAZGmq0XEHAy
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA3uxuyJqTo7
Garros folded his wings and walked with alternating limbs, stepping across the metallized floor as he went deeper inside.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWXx1b35fvu
The deeper he went, the more metal there was around him.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAI2OluhtWIS
Clusters of metal bloomed like flowers on the stone walls, and some angular metal pillars protruded from the ground.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhJDu4Io2WQ
Finally, when Garros reached the deepest part of the cave, his vision suddenly opened up as he arrived in a massive 'hollow.'
50Please respect copyright.PENANAihPipEAJhx
This core of the dragon nest was not a crude cavern in the traditional sense.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAczVUj9emU1
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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAuVluyFnAEq
To the north stood a thirty-meter-high tiered metal platform, atop which was Iron Dragon Mother's exclusive throne.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAqPODa3tk2x
—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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA986Y3wC6gh
Garros looked up.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoy3oAKAxPi
On the throne was a behemoth twenty meters long, whose breath created air currents like howling gales—a true dragon.50Please respect copyright.PENANAML0n7McuOz
