The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP3896UFZ5
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkZ0rGfr3
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMQFghISl
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXCRw4S2tU
Besides...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysY8CFQ4Ur
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVmxC0Q0vI
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE7aL9Ln6y
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ry3J2O5RP
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBros7Lblo
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GO1pTUSEX
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA4ypGx3kO
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0FMGgLOCQ
"Acceptable."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybOUnG9cgw
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn294GFKvLX
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd4S3Hsgcg
"Go then, do what you must."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyIzDcKdNI
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweEO1hpqlD
"Samantha, Gordon."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOcl29aic3
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabirWhhUQ0
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6m0ocGdMr
"What do you want to do?"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTBxMMwNys
They asked.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZcg7V6Axb
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQOGGZQ6W
Garros grinned.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLza9qEQD
"By what right!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFwNnCNugz
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEQtShKEpu
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuIytP4ZHe
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXNuKZdoZO
Bang!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX2LruMry9
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIf0N3pTGu
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAURYpdM1z6
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjZ4MjUZR
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxCbTddgXy
Bang!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u4LltwLhC
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE1HtLL6pP
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTZC0UQBie
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF7PQ5d212
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfdgMiMER
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCXRuDcoP
They let out a furious roar.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWhu6nDhLQ
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuBg6mLK93
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fS35pySPa
However...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJHglP7h0w
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4A2tBjaD
But Garros...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4tLezxund
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQaeywg9qm
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeEYP5lXgm
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmgNi5nZj1
Thud! Thud! Thud!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpDhdvhCvD
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtBFw6dxg
After a mere three minutes...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYZFdHq9H
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nCyWg2LC0
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo2OyVClIK
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1KdgXAy4
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXcmsSdXOl
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4EaOnSOXH
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rM9jY5u9J
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi189Zk1rR9
In fact...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSiUSeUDpS
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckhomlhHP
Appreciation was one thing.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRdciTnTs
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn5dKUrYIc
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJm9leh1v
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMDITw9oKq
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nGQHbCZT8
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSEV24ivQZ
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboBuFXQ1Al
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hAZ9Toue7
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC2atfz1so
Splash! Splash!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3CeLjdZ9
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dbnY8xnLN
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybWyRYUpI4
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lzH5ZA5kE
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFv5ejQeHL
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSVZXAVJQ0
Whoosh!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjiGgqHkGn
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEtUYQHh38
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK575yz7G8
Bang!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXN7TGwscn
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xUY62ebsW
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6nP2XDQHo
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3CRV6nbHf
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7KP2k2pdd
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLQyLCYwJH
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u3wJoWFLJ
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj33oIq02I
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcbqVMb7xe
Crunch! Crunch!
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKVFnlGKo
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhhYf5XYS
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05m2TxMEY
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U5jEhtyYE
—Ground-Humping.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ97wE8LKed
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacGhp6tcwp
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UOTOD5XD3
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGvsJfpBr
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."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrVLxesGHo
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGRsV57yx
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!"
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JsHD42H1Q
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDOGKjWbtg
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.130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxbNItjWf
