The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNimBDIQo2T
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvroJQfTaj
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLj9QSPqfL
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3V7gsyI0Y
Besides...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqB8px05m3
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBXUsSXzce
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzFOKgs7VV
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpyPhnBR5o
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnkUDcQz2
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE3qMP9VQy
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNdvANwujW
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."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfMOewSyU
"Acceptable."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxomlcRJ1W2
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZ4wAPpuv
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfyQsntcwH
"Go then, do what you must."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWFcjyds1z
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7GJaJXDq6
"Samantha, Gordon."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv9Dqt7rSx
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56q5o3veaC
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRiVIbPrOW
"What do you want to do?"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7bMKMNDMv
They asked.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrqogktsY
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzhlaH65pk
Garros grinned.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWfWPokjQE
"By what right!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7MBnddteq
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05PkXKssS
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vQdhRaw7e
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bm1Ku59AC
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymzJytI7pH
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1MQrEZOz7
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5g8CyryPr
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6PZFv8Gsk
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbMJ2hirQa
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds8rkRe2rU
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZWZUFbDml
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfO0mvSHEp
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F4m42HRbv
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HoRDALMcs
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBOoxoFH0
They let out a furious roar.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp7avYTL4O
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDp2OZnBzg
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9boHLBpKwZ
However...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UlV6ohINA
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPUmVOKIwz
But Garros...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoDl2I2Lbm
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BoUjGvqPj
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTnH0G0Bn
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsizJN25h5I
Thud! Thud! Thud!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Rpj5R9yy
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZdSIPpgCz
After a mere three minutes...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15JFPrcjBT
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCGUXKnkzH
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxx3JOxESJ
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB40NpXtGM
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ChfOdNCu
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGRl7YYiGU
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4sZpNEx37
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS6UUEqC6i
In fact...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmsf7L57Z
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDqTFf8toC
Appreciation was one thing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtSVeuprgm
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0Xm0oUtJ
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2unYhEggNV
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF9HAL8fVi
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIz6h7br3t
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y6wIzudwK
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8NtpQ4jnA
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHQ6hAbMt
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvLBLl67Bk
Splash! Splash!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnGssy8SMQ
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgoFBMu7Fs
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMFBxvxZK
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYo8C93lL
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCEwe2P5hd
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMgJuFOYMH
Whoosh!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrFs4Pd6mg
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfKTezXjcs
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfRb9JZ4Tk
Bang!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi1qRC0Ha8
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQLmadASG4
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPWv6opS2T
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD0Nb6NdGZ
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zz8c9NhSv
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98t0gymGsf
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCWWGALLS
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyLNNp1z4U
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ryD21KFa
Crunch! Crunch!
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuEi72Bfm
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRZBDNX8HX
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI1s5X7t37
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5r49poPd7
—Ground-Humping.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fhXShPA4Q
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DlOQ4G4Ll
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.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFsdkL66zm
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeRYRTTwcA
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."
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUyxFj7dji
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ssXRBEpaC
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!"
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZfPIqdf5D
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIurcoMQC4
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.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GvhqaEG0k
