The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetJWmCjf6
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpYFlI6mA5
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsouIn00WQG
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCNBTexwd
Besides...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTI22Ypm9k
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifkL95xrPL
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ59qUOVXGD
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv4J5AcQkE
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAu3TUttD
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLktQNwIuUK
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssgAdd4dEu
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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWt6kBrOyC
"Acceptable."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFFOWefhq
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3NlvifO70
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeIoezFmzd
"Go then, do what you must."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0V1pNTOtJ
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BLnQAtTAv
"Samantha, Gordon."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuwk2zF6Kl
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF46Bw7Sf9i
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTIr9fq24W
"What do you want to do?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFBIcjr1i2
They asked.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE777wqhBcd
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fOHc3vOr4
Garros grinned.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpmbeYQO9h
"By what right!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhRgm9mfB1
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5joGDdAJKW
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQLU1kVWII
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4hpYJoGni
Bang!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJPvmRDP0T
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegdM1D1bCB
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzDIvjL4Jz
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigUVUNIVkF
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bxQhyO0Ex
Bang!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvoYhwhjdh
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNekzcD0X54
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ9zlJpTi8
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zlPnyhwXl
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnLDGHnptn
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf23yfZl5D
They let out a furious roar.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyM4nr1YJ4
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt1TXFCBs8
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQY3LVelIX
However...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA8nYPFzPY
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGpLBF9FXZ
But Garros...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEZZZkD172
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdqcXvh4a
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNBiplzeQG
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjSWo1iWBx
Thud! Thud! Thud!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckcnLZ4z2f
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGENkINiZm
After a mere three minutes...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonjhtYjZFx
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9YizNfJ22
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJbVeHSkU
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJbKQI9Jl8
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7cCRFlh0J
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlnMz76flB
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUfZ804De
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOJH1uMr2j
In fact...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKiFFIJMYz
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlr8XFXdU
Appreciation was one thing.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ReGuuNVNZ
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngvKoatwf1
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOsVeUcIJ
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAt0uvKBO6
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG86sgFL7g
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wQOEDa52I
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZPkOAMAE
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsYGJ3sOow
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIMBDaRzG2
Splash! Splash!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqczfFDrd4J
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX47uqHH12
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNYD18bt6s
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZB3IUCyuv
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiPcLWF7cA
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXVnqbqJA
Whoosh!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1DaWQQvcP
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIPa3vq8FS
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1x52F3C2Q
Bang!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYOTSo78D
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UUNNSMtrT
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0JxolC1Qn
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnyvkMLtoi
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsrsh2yJ7O
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFAUhsODe0
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42tTe4O01G
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlrrUzT0DH
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KPyNFDwpL
Crunch! Crunch!
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf88Et0r2E
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O7eRQV353
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWMdrekCl4
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvyCxWCoDe
—Ground-Humping.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NTJheVE6I
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjx7Q15L3t
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBLAwTJ7bJ
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEBGBGMCW
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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9gsXfi9k
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmwmhGri0A
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!"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf5YWmXYqc
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oqBiwn4U0
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.79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHWaJkw2c
