Volume 1 Chapter 41 The King's Wrath Against the Divine Dragon King
A few days after beast veterinarian Zeke rescued the frost dragon.
In the king's private chamber.
"Prime minister, how are the citizens of the capital responding?"
"It's positive. As you ordered, we spread the word that it was the king who drove off the frost dragon. Everyone is impressed, as expected of Your Majesty!"
Only the king and the soldiers in the castle know that the frost dragon was repelled by Zeke.
The citizens received a false truth through the prime minister.
In other words, the king took credit for defeating the frost dragon.
"Hehehe, my status will rise from this. I'm lucky the people are so gullible."
"As expected of Your Majesty. A brilliant strategy!"
And then, it happened.
Boom!
With a deafening blast, the ceiling of the room was blown away.
"What!? What the hell is happening!?"
"H-Hurry, Your Majesty! L-Look up! A-a horde of dragons!"
Countless dragons circled above the castle.
"What on earth is this!?"
"You're making a lot of noise, insects."
In the middle of the dragons, someone was standing in the air.
At first glance, it looked like a young human in his twenties.
He has dazzling golden hair and ruby eyes.
The young man glided through the air and landed before the king and his men.
Several dragons landed behind him, bowing their heads deeply.
"Wha-what are you?! Are you a Demonkin?!"
The young man frowned and pointed one hand at the kings.
With a loud explosion, the floor right in front of him was blown away.
"Eeeekkk!"
"You idiot. Don't lump me in with those lowlifes."
The young man who led the dragon looked down at the kings who were lying on the ground and said.
"I am the Divine Dragon King. I am the king of all dragons."
"Y-y-you're the Divine Dragon Kinggggg!?"
The king is shocked at the sudden appearance of the Divine Dragon King.
Even if he tries to deny it, the countless dragons he is leading bow their heads without any violence.
That figure, and the overwhelming aura of a king emanating from him, was indeed worthy of the king of dragons.
"W-What brings the Divine Dragon King here!?"
"You harmed my wife and child. I've come for revenge."
"Wife and child? I know nothing of that!"
"...The frost dragon that came here recently. That woman is my 7th wife."
Now... the color drains from the king's face.
That frost dragon was the Dragon King's wife, in other words, the queen.
"...You were on the verge of killing the king's wife and her daughter. You deserve a thousand deaths, human!"
The Divine Dragon King, filled with anger, releases a massive amount of magical power from his body.
"Ughhhhhh!"
Before that overwhelming wave of power, the king is blown away and crash into the wall.
"Especially you, king! You ignored the cries of a defenseless woman and ordered your soldiers to kill!"
Suddenly, the divine dragon king's body emits a golden and crimson light.
The divine dragon king, who was human-sized, rapidly grows gigantic.
"Ah... ah..."
The king, trembling, looks up at the massive dragon that appeared above.
It is a colossal dragon with dazzling golden scales.
"Ahhhhhhh! What the hell is this monsterrrr?!"
Screams echoed all over the royal capital.
A dragon appeared in the sky above this town, far larger than the town.
Cries of fear and despair from the citizens of the royal capital rise from all over.
'King, don't think you can survive after killing the Divine Dragon King's wife and princess...'
"No, nooooo! No, nooooooo!"
The king comes out from the wall, kneels down and says:
"I didn't do it! It was the knights and the mercenaries who hurt her! I had nothing to do with it! "
...He prioritized his life over the knights who were protecting the king.
'Shut up, you great criminal! Accept your punishment obediently!!!'
Ggh...!
And the Divine Dragon King opens his huge jaws.
A bright red flame was lingering in his mouth.
A wave of heat of tremendous temperature comes from the dragon's mouth.
It became a scorching hot wind and blew across the royal capital.
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
The heat wave spreads in an instant, melting the outer wall protecting the royal capital, the wall protecting the castle, and the royal castle.
...It melted that alone, and the heat wave suddenly ceased.
".........Huh? W-wait, I'm alive...?"
The castle that once stood has turned to slush, and the people inside lie on the ground in shock.
Yes, despite such flames, all the humans are unharmed.
'But in gratitude to Zeke, the savior who rescued my wife and child, I spare your lives.'
Hmph, the Divine Dragon King snorts, looking displeased.
'Thanks to Zeke's remarkable skill, my wife has safely given birth. The mother is also fine. ...This is, after all, his homeland. The retribution ends here.'
But...!
The Dragon grows agitated.
'Listen! You foolish humans! The reason you survived today is because of the extraordinary beast veterinarian, Zeke Vetarinari! Remember, it is thanks to him that you still have your lives!'
With a whoosh, the Dragon King spreads his massive wings.
'King of this kingdom, I will let you off this time. But... I have remembered your face.'
"Higgh...!"
Before the overwhelming aura of the dragon's anger, the king helplessly cowers.
Then, the dragons vanish all at once, leaving a clear sky in their wake.
"Damn... this is terrible..."
The king muttered in shock.
"Y-Your Majesty! We are in big trouble!"
"What now?!"
"With the disappearance of the outer wall protecting the royal capital, the magic beasts used for national defense have flowed into the royal capital!"
After one disaster, another one comes... The king wanted to cry.
