The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAzvu2EQJF
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka7VtuHz5c
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEc0S1KH6Q
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiwp2ZIHw
Besides...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG1pK3oYuX
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKoRwQ5Bc
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90rdxxBt4
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UWyZX4LWg
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI2q2IMCIW
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG58WOERtr
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKWhWzaEc4
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZIOnZDjOZ
"Acceptable."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ1THRVUHT
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FcDBR1lTX
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8NpOhcaX
"Go then, do what you must."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbuKRlbfRV
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuIj6RqY1J
"Samantha, Gordon."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj7sJQ0jJ6
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYSB6Mqs4p
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLsH4ng4fL
"What do you want to do?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoDCA0HNZY
They asked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo0iln6Eoq
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43wo9aoaMf
Garros grinned.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCK4mmZaXi
"By what right!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFCRvQ1Swc
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdXx8eIWwJ
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv0yPl9awL
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOr6Va73Pl
Bang!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOGZtf68wT
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUtbNC1ju
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQs57SLN3
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVOX9q438f
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZZpe1G97
Bang!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nP38F68Ug
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZMUhR3yR
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07hPIn80se
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9HGjXJc9x
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kFsJi8VQd
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8Wz0iH3X
They let out a furious roar.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg4M2eLvdZ
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjKDO3yP8E
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCNTRHVamD
However...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeqPWYTc8w
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqNmLpLIuU
But Garros...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bcmwOeRSh
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM0ZKDnowh
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm384AHnbV
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ETINlA44O
Thud! Thud! Thud!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHnONfOgub
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr08CFWdlL8
After a mere three minutes...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ABJxpiCW
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vk73w2lko
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjNbd8kjX
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCPtwOWB2b
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnJ7SEJr6a
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZOPXc4iK
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT2C2G3XUO
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaExVIjiwW
In fact...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4OOzXESvQ
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8zGRJ6Rwp
Appreciation was one thing.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzSauJTDR
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZa4HwYcir
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNRl6NguFF
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBsoWDr618
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07TB85kWBv
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDWZX226MM
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtiodX3c1n
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ56DyIyQd
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkudZwsmCxE
Splash! Splash!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jjpLS0jSq
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mqDXmcAqB
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6jUa3ErcU
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi5roZF1Kb
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AMUZr0YmF
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBpFWVCHj
Whoosh!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFLOZyuWAK
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgIcOEc4MH
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ad1f3IKPp
Bang!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wq841nRa
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI7CbHRJLt
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesBBZcq2XO
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVARnmsUXT
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUDeuJuWiF
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSyxotcZps
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlWOsQj61
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRhAI3H8Ic
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZqbeRJrbi
Crunch! Crunch!
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyQYfof9Xo
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KypWGdaD
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCvbfjhZI
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOm4VTf6uz
—Ground-Humping.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9wQqgGNYh
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7rAyYITN6
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9bzIYbxt3
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKHWlexZ3S
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."
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQcLQQxPar
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UvjsPt52a
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!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8dEgivsjD
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BqlFikwew
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.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcLfeS5R7R
