The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq038XZFY6
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF84jl2NYhq
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuzPtZsk7
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2PIMzyr7M
Besides...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYyfyU5BiW
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpPFGMU6ch
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC10Yd8vcHl
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTmRVIs6dx
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cz4pYSjQ
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpos5M4TN6
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdrRtihNpn
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."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCecW4U8QU
"Acceptable."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MEXMPKWOw
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGG3O9AcU
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNdiz5V1tu
"Go then, do what you must."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNJUWBppcq
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmiAxsgEh
"Samantha, Gordon."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqXI10lFSN
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NxWiHxDbS
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Sz23LFFZ
"What do you want to do?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShEOC9TNAZ
They asked.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcSvt2ymIp
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8I5M7Mat
Garros grinned.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNtGG0VLQw
"By what right!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37km52m7Um
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3mOVfNR9n
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUqilHUWkR
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1ZC6WlKv
Bang!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tlX8cl9Pn
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5FTDqO4C
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTn6GUjXYv
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOcFwhVrR
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LsjjbDSn9
Bang!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBKWQYHYLZ
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMbixNO29C
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEvebx2vYi
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1V6FTJKMe
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B1hqEHv9z
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaRlbjffDq
They let out a furious roar.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDjXVAWK7Z
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ZqMZFRgi
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNYRlTMWI5
However...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVAuhJHRAC
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWnAJ5rMa1
But Garros...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubdUQAWeMg
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiVYuL7Nza
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2cWLUD8ln
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM4XQCIEs7
Thud! Thud! Thud!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYirPBJaw0
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6dLGv969
After a mere three minutes...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxChfE1a6a2
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzDCVMBUiD
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyTZzlWJYd
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhMxyIb0C
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyDWezP4Ev
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6m0Py8czO
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eRNhGu2uW
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91cefgo9gt
In fact...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA2zPO3dkM
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXu6vlCXzf
Appreciation was one thing.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JAH9ZGKbq
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLrOalH39y
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTWmn6yQFI
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx23GHOn0Js
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGI7hLfXty
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMHdX4p4mm
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXc2XG26m
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8HObgh5OP
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzC8n78rcz
Splash! Splash!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYPTPA7Auk
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM4ab11aHC
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqy8zeyd1N
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwXukzO9K
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZkj3czedU
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyoGRYboaZ
Whoosh!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4A9Cx0x8Z
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6uWKeSGnv
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cVXZmbdoB
Bang!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRvTXakvDi
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBhXdayU4y
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCnW9vR4uH
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJsDejUbX2
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlBYjmy220
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPejjeKTIq
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGlLPkAzxX
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN3jIpraaD
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfvB73ECI8
Crunch! Crunch!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o0iMQjhMM
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tYZSI8DLY
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABOkZcDHRM
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKzjDDRXp
—Ground-Humping.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZCBdXUU8f
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJbxnU7qES
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSccWFf2Kt
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX9aywCEN5
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."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbiWVj9jum
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKods6WAQaP
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!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoG40GSmoa
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfWMS67xQ
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqoPgiiFUa
