The Iron Dragon Mother glanced at the two foolish Hatchlings who were staring at each other in bewilderment.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXaLM3I5Mr
From Garros's words and gaze, she understood his thoughts.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dzI6aAC8
However, the Iron Dragon Mother had no intention of stopping him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iniJslxsa
Regarding conflicts between her offspring, she would not intervene in ordinary bullying or oppression unless it involved life and death.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjJzu1fXU
Besides...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoujx6TQrB1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJDITlO1UD
As for the matter of driving Hatchlings or young dragons to mine for oneself...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CkG8RscXY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJemA0s7DU
However, it was perfectly reasonable for Garros to do it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sy56ptrGa
"The problem is, your 'mine slaves' also live under my protection."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QOv6C1R36
The Iron Dragon Mother's eyes gleamed as she gently swayed her tail.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5d32hO4T6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPGNg7ZrIr
"Acceptable."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fmYU52CQ
After a few seconds of silent consideration, the Iron Dragon Mother nodded in agreement.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ne5dwvEVN
"Thank you, Mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jo2lYQ8Gj
"Go then, do what you must."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0NNUFl5tq
Garros turned and walked toward the two Hatchlings, stopping in front of them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58OU69lKKL
"Samantha, Gordon."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KqgJkrUQ0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ5bPpvSHk
Both dragons looked wary and did not move.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPJggWKBr7
"What do you want to do?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDC6T7VkRi
They asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8FKodedWZ
"Naturally, I'm going to have you mine for me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUvnIAe8r
Garros grinned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZqM4N9BIF
"By what right!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45DKaJuH72
The two Hatchlings refused vehemently, finally realizing that the 'mine slaves' Garros mentioned earlier actually referred to them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViu4Cjfnkk
"By the right that I am stronger than you."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeStsA7OCZj
Before his voice had even faded, Garros lunged at his dragon brother and sister.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LDkWgIc7E
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oZIAjV2xL
With a Dragon Charge, he sent the Iron Dragon Brother flying with a direct frontal hit.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOs0lGGin
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJXN4idaGV
The Red Dragon Sister had just managed to react.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qocsLTx6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3TPBbDiKN
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7EXqbpry
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBsL1x9PyE
"If you won't listen, I'll beat you until you do."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHtDXKi336
Garros raised his chin, looking down at the two Hatchlings he had just knocked down.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHQFUiQGwC
"You bastard, Garros! We'll show you!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeYx2hVba
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjCyRLdwZS
They let out a furious roar.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2FaUYw5Nr
The two Hatchlings, a year younger than Garros, lunged at him from the left and right.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ64S5lVg3E
With a one-year age gap, it was normally difficult to win a two-on-one fight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbn9F7wAVR
However...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4UqQT2bI8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjCbMZb7WK
But Garros...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpCe81fAJa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B1MIeXU64
"Heh, I'll give you something to remember."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy9NdYMNhN
Garros cracked his neck and met the two Hatchlings head-on.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp21zW1XAh
Thud! Thud! Thud!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG2pz1CRs4
A series of dull sounds of flesh colliding rang out continuously.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWxVZOIL89
After a mere three minutes...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCTiv0U4Kc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEogaXDSB
As for Garros, not a single scale had fallen off.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT1tKXneMa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvTg6nzHQ2
Beneath the scales was a layer of Dragon Hide.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4po6FYeZQp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EAbiMZysj
"My dear Garros, I look forward to your future performance."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax6n3VinQI
The Iron Dragon Mother flicked her tail with a crisp crack, indicating she was quite satisfied with Garros's performance.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriwprvQw81
In fact...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrukdDHnrZZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVH1ym0HiR
Appreciation was one thing.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevj4TSXxOf
The Iron Dragon Mother was unwilling to raise Garros for nothing.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjKqKSqq5Q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvtEvmNOUo
As for the two Hatchlings who had been beaten miserably...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnMQmjaYus
The Iron Dragon Mother felt no pity; instead, she felt they should reflect more on their own failings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JkTeaMHGX
"Thank you for your concern, Mother."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBP2lKgS7R
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbL6CMG47w
The two Hatchlings had been knocked unconscious by Garros and were dead weight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw7pCZqVK0
Holding their tails, he flew over the lake in the center of the sinkhole and dropped them in.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwldlfYBD3F
Splash! Splash!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEhwfq7A0g
Water splashed everywhere, the droplets glistening like crystals under the moonlight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbUFIYcH5r
Garros flapped his wings and circled in the air, staring at the lake water below.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LixvN2ctv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3oSmQaKkX
Garros flapped his Dragon Wings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L9hvfbhoE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvP6nyMs6z
Whoosh!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3jA8ze9EH
The sound of the Dragon Wings slicing through the air was like a piercing whistle.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fz0RSLjws
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM8b3PDZER
Bang!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzM881iLuR
The two Hatchlings fell together, crashing into the ground and kicking up gravel and dust as cracks spread around them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtXTNGxkSt
"Still running? I'll give you a three-second head start."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NGiRZ3fWR
Garros folded his wings and landed in front of the two Hatchlings.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKV5ofYFxE
The Red Dragon Sister and the Iron Dragon Brother both wore expressions of utter despair, no longer daring to defy Garros.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCU8t8zC0y
Promptly, Garros brought them to the place where he frequently practiced 'Mountain-Humping'.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6jg8tB6Na
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJkDdiWOBm
Pointing in a direction, Garros ordered them to start digging.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuThEGoVfj
The two Hatchlings were reluctant, but under Garros's tyrannical pressure, they yielded and honestly began to dig.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpfMr23nmT
Crunch! Crunch!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMAuOHUIye
The sound of dragon claws digging into mountain rock rose and fell.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hiK5MGOj7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCVXCJD9D3
This was an even more intense form of training than Mountain-Humping.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CboXSXfoo
—Ground-Humping.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFUaeZauiE
If he didn't judge the height correctly, he risked crippling himself; Garros didn't train like this often.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmw9cGrdRx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFRH5MtEr0
Neither Hatchling could understand Garros's strange behavior, so while they bitterly dug into the mountain, they comforted themselves.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdjloJlP8V
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡassknI0H2J
The Iron Dragon Brother had just used his horns to shatter a piece of hard rock.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYZT0hMcyL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZNVvz0eM7
At the thought of a beautiful future where they could torment Garros and make him mine for them to accumulate treasure...
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQlCmVhRHW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnN8MRvkqj
