The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIccjgLrGIJ
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVvEtGwu2x
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZeTcjjVWQ
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTgSMsZzou
Besides...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRqQcX5dq2
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGBtKa9ezB
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwgdLppZt
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHdF0EWk8w
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKNqpDgPNg
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0TrMDNpWv
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhdpZrsFRA
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0tsxUdel4
"Acceptable."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK7GL8vS7d
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz5M2BfGYz
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35lekqWGre
"Go then, do what you must."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3GXPdfTtW
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyZiHrcpy0
"Samantha, Gordon."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlyTDdYy3j
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktwDMAUVk4
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk64MaCdMF1
"What do you want to do?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZByro8oqul
They asked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QrNW6dlC8
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGN3q6SjIu
Garros grinned.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAige6lB8Uc
"By what right!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7TJrH8gJO
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayj3oShzzY
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnC8fEdpdA
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRuFFp9pfY
Bang!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypd6K0vw1F
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MQeFVciY3
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrP464XS9
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGECZM1pQ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8zLZtaoJY
Bang!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotXHORcmzH
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jEOzoBhy
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WXdhpceDw
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4t3cxdQEJ
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgKM3Bv2Vc
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3FjgswKkC
They let out a furious roar.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNow26geHOF
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC9pVHZuGJ
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbhos4gcbP
However...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34r9pk0YAU
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNEWux4iU
But Garros...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDARIfG3dQv
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9macurBuqE
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xMRlAqFSm
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5M5wwdYcV
Thud! Thud! Thud!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMRAoMmG1N
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsryFuKrfm
After a mere three minutes...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LxmFQ8OvT
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsV5WQxklN
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2BiW3u5wO
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAodHMtpsn
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpaO374oNL
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3LHBWpQAw
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2wS1xiGdX
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZdQFE8lsC
In fact...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJatACkszr
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkSSzogvM
Appreciation was one thing.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKvfWdJB27
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8r4rV7IpI
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZkTKKWrk
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4iuu3xTN
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpnSIMuMTO
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdt8Gt8kot
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLbf15IEro
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnku3OqBSCQ
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5GXKay4UO
Splash! Splash!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPoEAZW7iF
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1np8PnBP6
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW0VzIitEB
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyZvJSF27E
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg8pboNRye
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrdpVpDsqT
Whoosh!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWTq1eFklh
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡholG3arkch
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkxzBeOOKt
Bang!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDaMxy6X0
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwCXTPvE4N
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1Sca3GoN
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerRPePhtHR
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerfgPKQHD9
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPphuDTVKf
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvAcm1MowK
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bVFPdjQKX
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfNiz2aJ4a
Crunch! Crunch!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcUX78hEVW
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSArath9zyZ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbAKnCIVaf
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOANGpAlIy
—Ground-Humping.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt05jU7w1T
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VdQlsYUzd
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbx9jLYZ1
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwLkYGRhGY
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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0LoBdMfqN
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ240v2wMGw9
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!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXYwwCkCr
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwo4EQs7jU
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.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWwqPQeklp
