Bernardo is the name of the planet beneath Garros's feet.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAEk1sThKlk5
On this planet, magical culture is highly developed, and every nation is sparing no effort in developing magical technology.
53Please respect copyright.PENANArYSUiNBaBs
Highly advanced nations have even built interstellar spaceships using magic engines, acquiring resources from the Universe by exploring outer space and other planets.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAGNjJdHnlD8
"Dragonkin are nearly the top-tier creatures, but in this world, they cannot be called invincible."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAGrKmGlUJIj
Garros blinked as he gazed at the Fake Moon in the sky.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATJZAkIJAMo
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAnBJH0ogZ07
Eventually, using a city as bait, Nausir trapped the Wings of Hurricane with a great magic formation.
53Please respect copyright.PENANADwXvfBq1ln
The Fake Moon descended a beam of light that destroyed everything, killing the Wings of Hurricane.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA25k7nSxNGF
"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."
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5YXIvFbhPW
The Dragon Clan has many classifications.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbnowp9OFvr
For instance, the most common ones are the Chromatic Dragons, Metallic Dragons, and Gem Dragons, followed by the Ferrous Dragons.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAZq90JTNcHR
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAssDtq232D0
"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."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxnJ8sddWkY
He sat down by the lakeside.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAr6RdSQOpHZ
The Young Dragon's tail was submerged in the water, swaying back and forth.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA031GXSDnLF
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAuORuKWNcdY
"I should still train more and strengthen myself."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWLbDQdj03j
"Only by becoming strong will I have more confidence when facing potential dangers in the future."
53Please respect copyright.PENANALKnOrSIlFb
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAXmhL1mYHhQ
"First, set a small goal: live to be a hundred."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAxFAF3mMJT3
"Wait, Dragonkin only reach adulthood at a hundred; I'd better hope for a thousand-year lifespan."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbLQTsiTLNm
Garros leaned backward.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATMFO6QtT7P
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANALkI2ezSBsk
—Dragonkin can actually breathe underwater.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAok1YeYCZMD
Garros simply wanted to train his cardiopulmonary capacity and his affinity for the water element.
53Please respect copyright.PENANArk1A46225v
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9UZxZMuw4A
Additionally, both Iron Dragons and Red Dragons are fire-attribute dragons and do not actually like water.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7P7MjvzYLM
The hybrid Garros was the same—a definitive fire-attribute dragon.
53Please respect copyright.PENANANqlG2rTAUY
Attacks with attributes like water or ice would deal double damage to him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIfXsEXlQmw
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAvr3d9wUSVk
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6uhvD3RBOx
By now, his instinctive aversion to water had completely vanished.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtN6cLrNznH
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAfmKFbAjGhx
Suddenly.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAloGy2v0cqi
A slight ripple in the water came from behind him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANApGBUExxzlc
A dark shadow approached rapidly and launched an attack on Garros.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4oALCf8rZc
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAOdwo5e21JP
Boom!
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKmkO5VFbiS
A black dragon claw and a fiery Red Dragon claw collided, sending a shockwave through the water.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIfS8SU3gnV
The fiery Red Dragon claw locked with Garros's, attempting a contest of strength.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAB4DNgJKtDW
However.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA1oLtxCnFBX
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANABShFEa4fVB
The contest of strength was lost.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAaUSTmKpLz5
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!"
53Please respect copyright.PENANAoSr0RyPsEI
Hatchling Samantha was Garros's biological Red Dragon Sister, a pure-blooded Red Dragon.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA49XpcWzbyu
In the Dragon Clan, hybrids are rare because Dragonkin Bloodlines are overbearing and difficult to fuse.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5Owu9HKWlB
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAyNIQsWEmIA
Slap!
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6SsDhZY4uo
Garros slapped the red Hatchling on the head with his claw.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAmlb3XPVQHR
"When dealing with a Dragonkin stronger than you, watch your tone and choice of words."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAa7cegovYh0
This slap sent the red Hatchling's head tilting sharply, nearly knocking her off balance; the force was not light.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAE1eTWxQOVe
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA4VcbnQE7Xa
Red Dragon Sister hatched a year later than Garros.
53Please respect copyright.PENANACQzKzeV11h
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAlNUalbwdM9
As a result.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzv2z9aX1bD
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAJfuDHK8ZJ0
After being rejected by Garros, the two actually used their claws to try and snatch all of Garros's food.
53Please respect copyright.PENANABMxoZ0PwEe
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAvlcBidhXRg
As a Hybrid Dragon, Garros was naturally stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon or Iron Dragon, not to mention he was a year older.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAN9SkaDx0ik
Meanwhile.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzJVJUuiaUw
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA0U2UoXvGO0
Red Dragons worship violence and like to solve problems through force.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYvDAmV0tdU
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAltyG80Hp2i
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKV386hWtRj
"My respected brother."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAN3eWalrEqQ
Red Dragon Sister softened her tone and said, "Mother wants you to go to the dragon nest."
53Please respect copyright.PENANAOJFd5G2DNx
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."
53Please respect copyright.PENANARtkyZMA8po
Red Dragon Sister was completely uncomfortable in the water, her dragon face filled with an expression of disgust.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5CkvO191yv
She wiggled her tail and waist, floating rapidly toward the surface and leaving the lake water ahead of Garros.
53Please respect copyright.PENANA9NfXV1tuRq
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAEIrafzUA0B
The dragon nest—it was located on the cliff face of the eastern side of the sinkhole.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAV2KGQdzj84
From the outside, it looked like a simple and rugged cave.
53Please respect copyright.PENANATwsPrMoRNp
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQA1K8IpGeh
Garros folded his wings and walked with alternating limbs, stepping across the metallized floor as he went deeper inside.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKAY6eNkMJe
The deeper he went, the more metal there was around him.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAjb1tO275Ce
Clusters of metal bloomed like flowers on the stone walls, and some angular metal pillars protruded from the ground.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzNC58sOiMy
Finally, when Garros reached the deepest part of the cave, his vision suddenly opened up as he arrived in a massive 'hollow.'
53Please respect copyright.PENANAdWgdkUulC7
This core of the dragon nest was not a crude cavern in the traditional sense.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAb6NMaoXgip
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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAkm9CsOc8Qx
To the north stood a thirty-meter-high tiered metal platform, atop which was Iron Dragon Mother's exclusive throne.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAPxYpAw9JMH
—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.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAl2xNkvp5L8
Garros looked up.
53Please respect copyright.PENANAVj5LLmQETm
On the throne was a behemoth twenty meters long, whose breath created air currents like howling gales—a true dragon.53Please respect copyright.PENANAMAbtASA9qU
