The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJZrqqCbu
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSxC3NZei
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpH6J29kDU
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQXij3Kuqd
Besides...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcRxvVXrS
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ybOuDW3e
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yQPNs63x
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm34grjk5R
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLRInxZX9q
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAoOFqgplp
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaai3FfCGxe
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."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4UbgwfAT0
"Acceptable."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5PS787Lr
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy5t3qPq1w
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8trpCVwN
"Go then, do what you must."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eWf2Unynv
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfWTbmY1LN
"Samantha, Gordon."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7jSVGSu4N
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqJVAoX2p
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tWLfGVgO
"What do you want to do?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarazVoJZf
They asked.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaeYbAa1SD
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOR4HDr3ZQ
Garros grinned.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLEq3fGg5
"By what right!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUueGiDCQi
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqaG5AUkny
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppw56Od21U
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUf1yPv1PW
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1Jcru0SH
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHENKMGz7rF
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693bFlh9hM
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIWBZWIYI3
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZx7H3eQnA
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6FSjesqh7
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwnxQgJ7e
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdvLPtMpfO
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsVZK7LBq
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTKBnMXEm
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b5UWf2S83
They let out a furious roar.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkxY5vgC5N
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyoDGcNfy2
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe7YEnFHpe
However...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFBw4H5Pvu
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIW2EnUXxT
But Garros...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNupzA9Gckj
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvduHadOOHa
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO13HLGExu9
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQyb9ZgHuk
Thud! Thud! Thud!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHpm4eSsQB
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvX7iwe90x
After a mere three minutes...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUgYic5pir
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NCFbR8st
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtXbFmK402
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixunh1yrL
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIddIGHFkwt
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIf21KfVBP
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4qXCKSDh0
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTOykZEV4O
In fact...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQasgauexu
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBLYDqhFef
Appreciation was one thing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQYag7RXnE
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzouyYLvGUM
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTFYufGGtu
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpFH5QuQro
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj44ZLBlOUW
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6QdeqjAP0
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ybvsY9mtn
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiTeUd9SNJ
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrokzym76Bd
Splash! Splash!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW6jOfpjQd
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUAadUZti8
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCqBNdlBnC
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpIJ628xGA
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkYxQEQa3
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibCL8FfC75
Whoosh!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQbJYzl8jO
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpIF9n7Za
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpyw2PDTBF
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq3xQwMVMO
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZvUaG3aPl
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0fd6HaXXS
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDbE7z8mkr
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrrQdI2qaC
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpwTncLNiO
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvozwhzjEPC
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9TDNME5j6
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDvhqJmK99
Crunch! Crunch!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIzaLzthMr
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxKni6HFBR
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHhvTpy3r8
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKCQjYT0kP
—Ground-Humping.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohXyxbDgl7
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzRECBrdK
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmo4jqY4XU
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ753aBRDO5u
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."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vpm0YfgEZ
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hTcS0yXHu
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!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RkLTxXIwf
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeRufWZ5eS
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.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPYzzQc2kC
