The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQsN7OPJn
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Jhr37A6i
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxqyurXrPq
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnafV4ijWn0
Besides...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp6LhgPz3j
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzLMsUsZPI
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCl5ydJVg8
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCAhiLWSwH
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthbPv50Upo
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfr3oI73uf
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31oJHhDZBz
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."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXapjoz6guE
"Acceptable."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcdXZxPvg
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb7WTfCLf4
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdWWjiZaER
"Go then, do what you must."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydGrDFeEfq
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGEqySR5CC
"Samantha, Gordon."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbMztsSvz
Calling out the names of the Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother, Garros narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come with me."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx7i8bFUA4
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYR1gDSemL
"What do you want to do?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBL34ZOZXD
They asked.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6DXZ7Mk0U
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FUDwDoWJV
Garros grinned.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrcc5bVAuD
"By what right!"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6J9zSUMjo
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCxM2XPln
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwP1da3k6x
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstISg0Z6vK
Bang!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkghQzKDPs
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBF6vwuOEk
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkYQ1L90TW
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUO0ZXXKV7
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysFkCG5wE
Bang!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20gZLrqh9n
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8kWaWyRMv
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5PTp9lGFK
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPYXSHvxp
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB9A2LSglT
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90h48UVEq9
They let out a furious roar.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4yKcAUdtX
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhf5t7jbUW
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZkTGZj9G
However...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxeywFnHlv
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHdW9LFsHI
But Garros...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD54RtlTdD
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWigKBP5JM
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqSEQq34Mo
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nWKHQiDV
Thud! Thud! Thud!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppeLQvzXeH
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B26nfjeU7
After a mere three minutes...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29ArvGw0cT
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TIk8MPROR
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCp0s8E7xS
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dMTDwdfW4
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSvl8AghTd
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF979OIfXqs
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3s1ZeGCaP
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bfBqJbpgg
In fact...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOIQEz9sgG
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaHE4TnxWm
Appreciation was one thing.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpKHgH01Hx
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXcDNX6YD
However, now that Garros was trading treasure for food and protection, the Iron Dragon Mother was happy to witness his gradual growth.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiYQvE2veH
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczvRArJnWo
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTN47sK6L5
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVfzCPPS9n
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWkcBu8a1P
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS5yEVVifU
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq3SvuRmnT
Splash! Splash!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmy7ra15Z0
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpJSPbuAD3
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIV5CTEskO
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWBM9jTMT6
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGWXUPiAn3
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrHPOKnxch
Whoosh!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hqXJhRZt0
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3fNZx97P3
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJWDIUENJv
Bang!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyqt8wSiCE
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8UqFBh5lv
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLJGAHg4ZC
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssUJG8ZdY1
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXLmPlA2La
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHKSKmxgiX
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2VstFQqtH
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Li6gSYgA
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzX0LHTLCe
Crunch! Crunch!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxkUnmxM9l
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMqZ3diqLi
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSMxcfcp0C
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzN68m6sov
—Ground-Humping.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxZDXsqjgl
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8BXQqkBXs
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukKm8NbSMJ
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzZcvKllPT
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."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73A4pka1br
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WqZN6jv7t
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!"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInNUSsaGmc
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdVQFsfHMp
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.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7AyfUlzf
