The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaecH5Pfw3
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyv3gIjXr8
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmON1rXOLps
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOBo7RUqGy
Besides...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KizjAGDUe
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfhOYsPAR
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1civnU7RF
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y97GSSRAs
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu2p6E9PM7
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fBT9Y1sfj
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MIkmcGx8A
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."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Ls69Q5OH
"Acceptable."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo0vKNUUQx
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ETjkckPs
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQVDs0Hg5
"Go then, do what you must."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXKL8A9RN3
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmJopw4jeq
"Samantha, Gordon."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZir5ys31
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQ3siJ7co
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViP6HkwzCc
"What do you want to do?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0Ejy1Kzs
They asked.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT7nSJSZP5
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHK1DDBG6a
Garros grinned.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTBi3Vsq9h
"By what right!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMVY33932f
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1q0jV8a4C
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP8DQiOG9E
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwpHYFqCxO
Bang!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3U3qmsXQp
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG62t63DR5
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVyjoogmVH
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQVa8xacQ8
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWnDGcZ7D
Bang!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyWvUcnmso
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uiqidPcoA
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMYkHStvTi
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzLAbvA6kf
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqeYOWe8KV
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHQ5dxDmd
They let out a furious roar.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBQYIcJbm
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUWydlQbRD
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIlecRxVnU
However...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQuPvIknom
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6PO3OlAqL
But Garros...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYkMxS76XR
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmilBmYknB
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVJZih1DM
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcqjq7qMoe
Thud! Thud! Thud!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBirF3W9zO1
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v519hlzgP
After a mere three minutes...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziJOgct4Yl
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8KV5NVs8m
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcnOLSU8pW
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNg57DZgeS
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOme9r9CMy
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMCKj1n2sS
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSACBL3oZpn
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLi6Q97XiT
In fact...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPx2MvzOnZ
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnV1chiYSf
Appreciation was one thing.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08rm1h1P4
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcRcxw4xq3
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXl0XJqDDO
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OsSHyPTQi
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02Jf4atDJ
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmUSJ0cIQr
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKSjnjmK8x
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kks9bmqPF
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yFdjftgV
Splash! Splash!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktbWh7JI5f
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrladh9dwo1
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdCNazd5M
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42N2CgGmDv
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpu99xXQvv
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3sYBlUasf
Whoosh!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUfNuNeeGy
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtAOyLAui
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0d8G6UTI
Bang!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l4TthOKWN
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd3E8FdHbe
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGf6Kg3g76
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuExYMDw7c
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphZQ7Uh0Au
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNHAy1cLVS
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomIU7Mek72
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60wG3LPwsB
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB04UzKfoC
Crunch! Crunch!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYmsClEat5
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuN80thzLM
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoem7uNHL4W
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5fjLxhCIA
—Ground-Humping.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYd6wbngVC
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLuXF8CP1
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc075mhiIR
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vnbsxe9Q2
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."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCoKdTWqVF
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueVFiLwhVe
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!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eDsh8w2tg
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aHrXvwN0w
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5rassrz4R
