The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKEuxtxy5K
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw6LEmodN5
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsFYaBzW87
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bvqt5mlmM
Besides...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcjl1Sqx22
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC2jlisEMy
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbXC2t9djQ
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y9YQLxgUu
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbcZeYYFwp
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHK5PGHU95
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0dcfz1hNZ
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."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIuah8xk8
"Acceptable."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMafsPieNRk
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5pwwhqdE
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtYKYKYMPm
"Go then, do what you must."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxabkabFBlA
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBsxF91NZz
"Samantha, Gordon."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpZt7M8S9G
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhmjSNFZ1I
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQT8aF8bPT
"What do you want to do?"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YSMSAg2w
They asked.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhsSYdkD9L
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpPIUY70M
Garros grinned.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKd01utpy
"By what right!"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGaf0xlLA
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaKH1aoRhA
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxvtID6rPE
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof2m5Ghxsm
Bang!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RctsMmIp
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaQImSRVx9
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ65p3EFOx
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ826yZuBl6c
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeti9N6GICY
Bang!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk7H0xe4GE
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEpIHPEhtz
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJMwnbZyJg
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTibSfBaz
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy6YOGDUs1
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdANV9jkZ1
They let out a furious roar.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvsHtUI19H
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIDWHm9OJS
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGuGSPHaMT
However...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmnZqMn0s7
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaOSiU5Byy
But Garros...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5riblvL28T
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsC8dKK5Xv
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKapUXe0D
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU26G9c4p5W
Thud! Thud! Thud!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3xgpixY1Y
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKyUJHC1fD
After a mere three minutes...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliuANYubTI
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc25DdaVny
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM5Dys8B8t
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFNH0rE3yY
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUH71eizvT
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp55JG2HJgK
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgAR4iT2X
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQL0nrvIeg
In fact...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec1gMzUcD7
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwD9ltgi6
Appreciation was one thing.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkyXhdkagB
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tpLWcz9Lq
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjE6U1sdm8
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygO4VT7qYV
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmfX8HHHeH
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HRFa4N06A
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J44OSvpxJ
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaOZYSlUAp
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4oRu8SHOP
Splash! Splash!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVRjlEv4S7
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cyPFrCcOe
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbC53Ipjwe
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJFNbIWSRI
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUW8pzl4OO
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP3KcGIJUo
Whoosh!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUIOUXWhdW
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvFGiSD4Ra
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoC0hgOTyU
Bang!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr60zMDE5ZH
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwOnwYQmD2
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgrkvbPueA
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKliccpYa
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WmKJefUa9
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHpCphZFQr
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFbtWYVr1Z
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yXxT8kBKS
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJnJro5lQ3
Crunch! Crunch!
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAcsb5DtDM
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwgaPCcuzB
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpP8vHrklN
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDHQPhPJS6
—Ground-Humping.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgz9PcdZoS
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hlJr2RZDx
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.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0l9QmMf3x
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu1a7F9kmt
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."
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KRomViWRL
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIZtR2hVY0
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!"
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVSi3WrFmS
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrIkEWgjY0
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.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrCcYndT9l
