In the end it was a good idea to go as far as landing right in the middle of the Holy City's castle after having released one breath attack, Renya thinks.

The problem is what follows.

Although I tried threatening them to get the king over here, there's absolutely no sign of the king making an appearance.

Moreover, Renya doesn't know the Holy Kingdom's king's face.

Because of this he can't look for him by himself either.

Gradually Renya starts to get fed up due to the penance of continuously facing the Holy Kingdom's soldiers' scared looks and their trembling spear and sword tips while the clock only keeps ticking.

The emerald dragon below his feet only watches the situation while appearing to be somewhat amused after having quickly curled up on the ground and keeping its eyes partially open.

At that point in time its coercion was almost non-existent, but despite this, apparently unable to erase the power of its breath, which the soldiers witnessed at the beginning, from their heads, there were no courageous soldiers trying to attack the dragon.

W-Who the hell are you bastard!?

A soldier that has a little bit of backbone calls out from a slightly distant place, trying to ascertain Renya's identity.

Renya answered while apparently finding it bothersome,

I will speak once the king arrives. (Renya)

There's no reason for a suspicious bastard like you to directly meet with the king!

That's a problem, you know? Renya says while not looking overly troubled at all.

Apparently sensing that, the dragon yawns grandly.

Isn't that quite the cute yawn there? Renya wondered, but in the eyes of those in the surroundings, the dragon opening its mouth widely is nothing more than a dreadful act.

Renya can see a group that gets entangled as they try to escape in a state of panic while striving to be the first to get away.

Well, just so that you know, for me it doesn't really matter even if he doesn't show up. (Renya)

While saying that, Renya taps the body of the dragon and after getting its attention, Renya points at several places of the wall located at the outer section of the city.

With that much, the dragon apparently comprehended what it ought to do.

Lifting its head, green light leaks out from the dragon's mouth once again.

Y-You don't! S-Stop!

As if in response to that shout, a green flesh tears the night sky apart.

The pillar of light, created by the impact of the dragons' breath, caused the outer wall to fall apart just like brittle candy.

Among the roaring sounds of the stone that formed the outer wall crumbling, Renya said in a tone that was similar to informing others about something trivial,

I intend to steadily whittle down this city until the king shows up. In the worst case, it will become easy to attack once all of it is gone, even if he doesn't make his appearance. (Renya)

Given that the city's big, the outer wall is long as well.

Renya's eyes, who thinks This is a city worth leveling, meet with the dragon's eyes, which were sparkling for some reason.

Seemingly not having expected that reaction, Renya backs off slightly, but the dragon's head follows him covering the distance he pulled back.

Guessing from this reaction, it looks like this dragon wants to destroy even more things by projecting its breath.

I wonder, do dragons also possess a destructive streak? Renya is puzzled.

As far as my conversations through thought were concerned, dragons felt a bit more composed to me, but no matter how you look at it, it is bluntly exhibiting its desire to go ballistic.

It would be better if he came out quickly. Somehow it seems that this guy here is all eager to destroy the outer wall, got it? There's no way for me to know how long it will endure waiting. (Renya)

What business do you have with me?

Dividing the wall of people surrounding Renya and the dragon, the Holy Kingdom's king showed up while wearing a formal dress he apparently put on in quite a hurry.

Is it because he hurried too much? His clothes are crumpled all over.

Renya took a long, hard look at the king's appearance, whom he's seeing for the first time, but to him the king doesn't seem like a person with much dignity.

Compared to Renya, he is around two heads shorter. Even his body build doesn't give one the impression of being forged thanks to having faced many battles. To Renya he looked spindly.

And, the problem above all else is

(Renya)
