The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkZ9F8VMK
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xtGxS0w1f
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRe5qylcvk
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWmEGdCSs5
Besides...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLfRvgANwg
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIDAEAjpSD
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3nActqtql
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb86YYmSCsv
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSHAxmboq
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k85U9CGwf
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjk75vmFIK
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."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8BEFYN1l2
"Acceptable."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG18Qqyw7R
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyiK7u5td
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKquDAdeRK
"Go then, do what you must."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FFTNZeOLu
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xFTpMtEEk
"Samantha, Gordon."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4Dh6ACDj
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVP3d1wB3p
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxddwtxxgYD
"What do you want to do?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXkShEha7X
They asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrtFgcXbhV
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqX2TgwFj9
Garros grinned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGCVwL207F
"By what right!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqX6kfmOQU
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg1czyiLNR
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz5wh6WigL
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtxVmvor77
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4iUsRcDSh
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy7jOQfJx8
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOvngdJST0
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPwDm3EPUO
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1pLsD6LM
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN4vI7MZMB
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTEnKZFQE2
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeyPZH5tqR
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNnazJBmuU
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPZKyiscv
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz6uGuRjCo
They let out a furious roar.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJnlB9HwGO
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANk6hA92MP
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLi0xEzQJz
However...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfcn5KQO3G
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbKcl6stdP
But Garros...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67PboUETCy
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK73BhNtMu
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUThdQQto6d
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxCHmF1Cov
Thud! Thud! Thud!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV2iJ5gAVg
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKG806MuxN
After a mere three minutes...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YV5AzLFZq
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yKhNt1Urc
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmmaVLpy3
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVJgYThcRM
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6A8yYLWgR
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnwcNAFKQp
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1WGOlbrqH
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdkp1pbykI
In fact...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfxoBbWIWJ
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYhtHQxB0Y
Appreciation was one thing.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxvjQfZ02o
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwJWDpXpMI
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwoBpxc4br
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCjJrrAMO2
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49BN6ujiBf
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc63DayPF3
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUuQYL4Uz5
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTgUun0N9p
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKxXdOrX2
Splash! Splash!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBlnSPudwK
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjl5YCFejG
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65GCVLNzXi
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk56glfIdkU
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8PcDI0l0t
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxS2FLSsnj
Whoosh!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03OXkkjqDr
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwerQ1SUy8t
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84lXlhYB3
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQWZ4wBUId
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0JMqoIVIu
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmfuO2cS53
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7dumx6E4S
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvNcNU9exZ
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG4r9LbgkB
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBDjMGZ7G
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V6s1ZVOTp
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2qlL6QZ74
Crunch! Crunch!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU0Q7pXAyZ
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwR5glFB74
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8STdyfYn
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGkgsxJxx9
—Ground-Humping.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBhXHlzkdP
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85d8J2jif1
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfvfJzqvyr
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMpNExUjhG
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."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANYuten3ZK
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo1Azm5rCn
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!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyBdx1tzxx
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHWweepOn
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.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTfkfSzpTS
