The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbt3u1kOqx
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt6ukJ5RE1
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1sqntKmpN
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84En6GhZen
Besides...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx0qD6XthN
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueiug1EGCV
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLETrNnbD72
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFGFMipbnj
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY3XToQ25O
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLJ2Z5kEwq
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRgUOCA75
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5uOkw30mn
"Acceptable."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSyODh0bz
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKnf0s0YlZ
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz28B0Tzjy
"Go then, do what you must."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QxEyj2uz4
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBoKDoNiit
"Samantha, Gordon."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UblKwmGIm
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSly96cfycl
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9layDaRwh4
"What do you want to do?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAVSszFXei
They asked.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKqCbqYMT
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmz9ZC8gmV
Garros grinned.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b6IggDXN5
"By what right!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34ktmoFkYa
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ki3hcUJl0
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU6f7TNUV4
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCiSuTH9YO
Bang!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLqCxGpoby
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFtmZa0sWi
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NFpvNd3k
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfytEbvx5YY
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWFtc8jAOc
Bang!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC0IBYeB8f
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5fOX3ANIo
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHuhY2mlRc
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8c3dIAllJ
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSbhV8DVeQ
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrz5ybSf3B
They let out a furious roar.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzYw5GlhND
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ47BaEqU8o
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72TPdXIUG8
However...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mEAxV1e0P
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0iVCr0Uh9
But Garros...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlujIT65RI
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4YeLVwmju
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLTWjbtIv
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs9tuJGCtI
Thud! Thud! Thud!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYVRMrHLqw
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocR6BOfiNq
After a mere three minutes...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3UoSqfQ80
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6GEAMoG5w
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxSZ3H4oo7
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiyqo8IURo
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HAgmeqjbd
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjmFBEsGiB
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL57V9amd5
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1wT8eRJOf
In fact...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQeoJtJnGQ
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDScqxfbCP
Appreciation was one thing.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYgvOlYEd4
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHuy8Dukm
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcXaovMJEA
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmvPrE3sN
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWl8HyjfHM
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VLcfw9M8z
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88jip6owI
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRURcxeXI
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHG3IvxN0V
Splash! Splash!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlndgRxeXfh
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMwUQdsv2i
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0spgsXPJB
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAle4czeTKN
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqPh3TlDE
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxWciaXjIO
Whoosh!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5pHB5APM
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgsG6nCGG
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPnm776sOe
Bang!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R4Ki6jKdZ
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKLduOqsys
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMEp5vZbq2
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6T40Z6vSI
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw8ufCjvlK
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnveGUuUnf6
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qM4dphCzU
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdvwxHk9hY
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazGiuEzJjJ
Crunch! Crunch!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcduURbvoSH
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMTeNPyflx
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk6l3cTFKt
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHK3isAoh
—Ground-Humping.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvY9WdiNby
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp8DwObxRA
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08lBFJJbO
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQn4OWGXsz
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."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCXDSamTKD
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaCF59m0OD
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!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm0QwYMrLl
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Oby1ideb
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.61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tCFZ9tUQP
