The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO4Rkw25e7
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosnoNfBdF7
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZswkgz4Pc
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65IMY1FwGP
Besides...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIYLIJoJpm
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOoMSP1Xrj
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLAW92HUax
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJFbGoIzdj
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jMuznmCOq
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfO9GdLBqm
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrABCaj3G4l
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2w1AwlrqJ
"Acceptable."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwCuPeBtv
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiwhdVz7Hn
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBSBsQndE
"Go then, do what you must."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4GxWxcN7Q
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3czbIjNyQF
"Samantha, Gordon."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmZFOHBw9z
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxnZ0e1PV
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsaotDf2gn
"What do you want to do?"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg53EZL5vF
They asked.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnYtOnR64
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlnGTbuxtr
Garros grinned.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6C8Hpb8P1
"By what right!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CCeRApG3Z
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPkDWrPnEd
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCEegwyMMp
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfCMBLXF6p
Bang!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikBvtOjpd6
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WhdiQhBdf
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiVEfYtlyp
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2wgiWvOWt
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ucQ7Fe8F6
Bang!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE4ctY83Ue
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiaAeuqrcU
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXYWGYWCGQ
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywqoJkAJGw
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWKFtYQBhl
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M7mzejjpB
They let out a furious roar.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDuhnKtsxt
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6x9dqmsO
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEBxBa30H
However...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6EPFNRAMU
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPYTy3wzQb
But Garros...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XE5UABKuS
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgO0yxExG
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLOWqdGWz7
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ290bQTsrHs
Thud! Thud! Thud!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpdsUhyUUm
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc1yNj7Yhw
After a mere three minutes...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDE119NwJA
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFut5Mttxs
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Y1xi7PSg
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPdv2pdHI
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLGgJzzwv
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDhXwPOkQW
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLDIlxXdJ
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIA0r5JQq5
In fact...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0deZfPSFN
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kqPcWtpzq
Appreciation was one thing.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4GeGlD4Td
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQHEGTkapS
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQUmmABA9f
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BeawZPUir
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJnvO10Wfm
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOE6AKbEn4
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGanNCyNCA
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eSHZcRLu0
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYgaAk6ml
Splash! Splash!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4YgUlwKN
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl6l7gazD3
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpJTxXa7id
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlKGSHa9xq
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKefM2VYAM1
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMxnr3Afo0
Whoosh!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRN0JHczRw
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEco4U6vFs
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoumdQC13b
Bang!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6XduGFens
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYWCHSoLYi
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLETO058ioc
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZWDWPVfVt
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVMETFZHGt
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4sNH2qE8j
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Z299xhH1
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL28B7bzHNe
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg6H5woWme
Crunch! Crunch!
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFJnDcevBX
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHdKwxm5R0
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEX5xvIg6J
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fFNyw2gXU
—Ground-Humping.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbi8MaopvZ
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwJyfFJINv
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8G1VvjZN
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQDEbZTQ6c
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."
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODWcCL03wk
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XHtf28zG
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!"
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VEHeC8nAm
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE5lY50n8T
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.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AACRBzsG7
