Bernardo is the name of the planet beneath Garros's feet.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqlcMuHrQn
On this planet, magical culture is highly developed, and every nation is sparing no effort in developing magical technology.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEbLPOlhad
Highly advanced nations have even built interstellar spaceships using magic engines, acquiring resources from the Universe by exploring outer space and other planets.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHPHNbC6si
"Dragonkin are nearly the top-tier creatures, but in this world, they cannot be called invincible."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz40eLnMVk
Garros blinked as he gazed at the Fake Moon in the sky.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ26sTAMA2
The Legacy mentioned that there was once an Ancient Blue Dragon known as [Wings of Hurricane] who was hunted by Nausir for a long time after destroying several cities in the Nausir Elven Empire.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpdsz9c4xx
Eventually, using a city as bait, Nausir trapped the Wings of Hurricane with a great magic formation.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO645WFpOv
The Fake Moon descended a beam of light that destroyed everything, killing the Wings of Hurricane.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmSUX6s9i
"Moreover, the other biological races on Planet Bernardo have a poor impression of Chromatic Dragons and Ferrous Dragons; once discovered, they will immediately prepare for a crusade."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnapHmZlcv
The Dragon Clan has many classifications.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvel7OV2KZ
For instance, the most common ones are the Chromatic Dragons, Metallic Dragons, and Gem Dragons, followed by the Ferrous Dragons.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze5pYaa1uv
Because Chromatic Dragons are inherently evil and keen on causing destruction, they are identified as Evil Dragons. Ferrous Dragons are even seen as the 'mad dogs' among Dragonkin, frequently killing their own kind, let alone other biological races.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKiM3Ef4mP
"I am a Hybrid Dragon of Chromatic and Sub-Iron Bloodlines, specifically a mix of Red Dragon and Iron Dragon. I'm afraid I'll be seen as the most evil among Evil Dragons—a naturally wicked Dragonkin seed, so terrifying that I must not be allowed to live."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRjJ17p93
He sat down by the lakeside.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0xL8GxYJ
The Young Dragon's tail was submerged in the water, swaying back and forth.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbkmX9QXyt
Moonlight shone on Garros as he felt the comfort of his tail drifting in the water, with occasional small fish cleaning away weeds and dust, while he pondered in his heart.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1XN3ZYkXz
"I should still train more and strengthen myself."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktng9O7IQ8
"Only by becoming strong will I have more confidence when facing potential dangers in the future."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVMyYo3QhK
This dragon life has only just begun, and Garros hoped to live as long as possible, not wanting to be like his previous life, where he met with a fatal accident right in the prime of his eighteen years.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TqfLrrbZc
"First, set a small goal: live to be a hundred."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y3pUppmTh
"Wait, Dragonkin only reach adulthood at a hundred; I'd better hope for a thousand-year lifespan."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3xKL4NkuW
Garros leaned backward.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP3rHmCgsk
The Young Dragon's body crashed through the water's surface, splashing countless crystal-clear droplets under the moonlight. He dove to the deepest part of the lake, enduring the heavy water pressure without breathing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DXKmcSkx2
—Dragonkin can actually breathe underwater.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvVAYjiIcB
Garros simply wanted to train his cardiopulmonary capacity and his affinity for the water element.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW6YoMyaOI
Thanks to various daily training sessions, his lungs were much stronger than those of ordinary Dragonkin, and the intensity and duration of his Dragon Breath were superior to those of a normal Young Dragon.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXrvbi4X3p
Additionally, both Iron Dragons and Red Dragons are fire-attribute dragons and do not actually like water.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSpp0YsJS
The hybrid Garros was the same—a definitive fire-attribute dragon.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfYSxuVMKi
Attacks with attributes like water or ice would deal double damage to him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3980JrHejp
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzKmHFI42N
To prevent being caught off guard by attribute-countering attacks one day, Garros had been enduring his aversion to water for several years, occasionally soaking in it for desensitization and adaptation.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmnPZ92r4
By now, his instinctive aversion to water had completely vanished.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL4eBx6DKJ
Although he hadn't actually encountered a water-attribute attack and couldn't be certain of his water element affinity, Garros felt that, at the very least, he wouldn't take double damage.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNIX6CEdBj
Suddenly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD97urP6kV
A slight ripple in the water came from behind him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0fyQ2hLZp
A dark shadow approached rapidly and launched an attack on Garros.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCT3a3oDpM
Garros keenly captured the change in the current. Before the attack could land, he turned his body, raised his dragon claw, and struck out fiercely.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiPKzTfLRg
Boom!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhP3hOrKK
A black dragon claw and a fiery Red Dragon claw collided, sending a shockwave through the water.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEPLbKfFdA
The fiery Red Dragon claw locked with Garros's, attempting a contest of strength.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6UfJaM1i7
However.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUTLSnDRzv
Garros's strength was astonishing. The powerful muscles beneath his dragon scales bulged, even lifting the scales slightly. His claw pressed back the fiery red one inch by inch, forcing it to retreat.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1dBax1elp
The contest of strength was lost.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNkreUYee
The owner of the fiery red claw withdrew it and stared at Garros with a pair of Red Dragon pupils, saying in a crisp, displeased voice, "Garros, you wretched hybrid, I will defeat you sooner or later!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkUovEEnJj
Hatchling Samantha was Garros's biological Red Dragon Sister, a pure-blooded Red Dragon.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0vr10AeH
In the Dragon Clan, hybrids are rare because Dragonkin Bloodlines are overbearing and difficult to fuse.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5f1ZL8ZUv
For example, when a Red Dragon and an Iron Dragon conceive offspring, there is a very high probability of producing a pure-blooded Red Dragon or a pure-blooded Iron Dragon; the offspring will inherit the Bloodline of one parent. Hybrid Dragons like Garros, who can fuse the blood of Red and Iron, are few in number.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr2wNXWiBk
Slap!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaOpSauxFN
Garros slapped the red Hatchling on the head with his claw.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV9bA3Tbls
"When dealing with a Dragonkin stronger than you, watch your tone and choice of words."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKOUQPVT9Z
This slap sent the red Hatchling's head tilting sharply, nearly knocking her off balance; the force was not light.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphwmCg29o
Between Dragons, especially Evil Dragons, strength is often what speaks. Only power can earn the respect of other Evil Dragons, and Garros had grown accustomed to this way of communication.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNNh88ADWR
Red Dragon Sister hatched a year later than Garros.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleC8ROlJbd
At that time, Garros saw that his dragon sister was chubby and round, looking cute and honest, so he tore off a piece of meat from the food he was eating and gave it to her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡectfls6taw
As a result.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqah3c7zOLR
Instead, she thought Garros was weak and took advantage of him. Her Evil Dragon nature flared up, and she ordered Garros to hand over all his food. The other Iron Dragon Brother, who hatched at the same time, also thought Garros was weak and conspired with Red Dragon Sister to extort Garros's food.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxcdvy7ABH
After being rejected by Garros, the two actually used their claws to try and snatch all of Garros's food.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHitUgimmO
Afterward, Garros pinned them to the ground and gave them a severe beating, and they only behaved after several of their teeth were knocked out.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKCq5pqafJ
As a Hybrid Dragon, Garros was naturally stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon or Iron Dragon, not to mention he was a year older.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7OUQ13rG
Meanwhile.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGcXtBV7g
After taking the slap, Red Dragon Sister bared her teeth, wanting to fight back, but when she saw the fierce glint in Garros's eyes, she sensibly restrained herself.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg4CadRyQj
Red Dragons worship violence and like to solve problems through force.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEctsKJC78
However, when their violence is weaker than the opponent's, they will endure for the time being, waiting to surpass them before taking vicious revenge.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWrmUPer4U
Furthermore, she had received plenty of beatings from Garros over the years and knew that this dragon brother of hers would not show any mercy.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqOs6aSUa
"My respected brother."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhJeiVfz54
Red Dragon Sister softened her tone and said, "Mother wants you to go to the dragon nest."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPSEwSh2b
After stating her purpose for finding Garros, she muttered under her breath, "Spending every day soaking in water... you're really strange. You made me have to come into the water too."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG5sYDnHEM
Red Dragon Sister was completely uncomfortable in the water, her dragon face filled with an expression of disgust.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA05JluYotv
She wiggled her tail and waist, floating rapidly toward the surface and leaving the lake water ahead of Garros.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgasknwdUyo
Garros was in no hurry. He flapped his wings in the water and then burst out, soaring through the air. He overtook Red Dragon Sister and flew toward the dragon nest.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX1b7zqDXt
The dragon nest—it was located on the cliff face of the eastern side of the sinkhole.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHGTiaUNL7
From the outside, it looked like a simple and rugged cave.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhowGlLnbQ
Moonlight could not reach inside the dragon nest, but the stone walls inside were plated with a layer of strange metal. Some areas emitted a bright glow, so it was not dark inside.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw1pxCimfj
Garros folded his wings and walked with alternating limbs, stepping across the metallized floor as he went deeper inside.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLuPIqCf7W
The deeper he went, the more metal there was around him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehs0JgyziV
Clusters of metal bloomed like flowers on the stone walls, and some angular metal pillars protruded from the ground.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbVI1cKv2n
Finally, when Garros reached the deepest part of the cave, his vision suddenly opened up as he arrived in a massive 'hollow.'
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1CPsRDq7W
This core of the dragon nest was not a crude cavern in the traditional sense.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhnQ3hQr0
The surrounding ground and stone walls were covered in a layer of soft yet tough metal, its texture similar to mercury, but with rust-colored ripples on the surface.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE4L0xjFK9
To the north stood a thirty-meter-high tiered metal platform, atop which was Iron Dragon Mother's exclusive throne.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wGZlAFqwV
—It was forged from countless swords and halberds. The weapons of the defeated were now solidified into steps, with each level inscribed with dragon language runes.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm2Vqajlng
Garros looked up.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOeNtrMvSg
On the throne was a behemoth twenty meters long, whose breath created air currents like howling gales—a true dragon.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEybAIMG4a
