As expected of Mondstadt's richest man, his use of money power was truly domineering, and coupled with Diluc's understated demeanor, the CEO vibe was almost too strong.
However, after Miyashiro heard Diluc's 'CEO speech,' he merely sneered and said, "You? If you hadn't resigned from your position as Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius back then, I estimate that the current position of Acting Grand Master would be yours.
In that case, you would have the right to say such things.
But now, you are merely a merchant with some renown in Mondstadt, a mere merchant with no official title or position.
How dare you try to use a bit of your 'stinking money' to command a dignified Regent of a nation to work for you? Are you not overestimating yourself? I am discussing state affairs with Acting Grand Master Jean; you have no place to speak!"
The aura and majesty Miyashiro displayed now were completely different from the gentle and refined Miyashiro that Diluc remembered, making Diluc a bit dazed for a moment.
However, he also realized that, in this kind of situation, his actions just now were indeed a bit inappropriate.
On normal days, Miyashiro could put aside his status and speak freely with his friends, drinking and enjoying himself, but once it concerned state affairs, he would immediately transform into that lofty Inazuma Regent.
Diluc apologized to Miyashiro, then stepped back and waited for Acting Grand Master Jean's decision.
At the same time, The Dragon Ursa, who had been observing from the side, saw that the group of 'insects' dared to ignore it and brazenly gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
It couldn't help but burn with rage, and scorching dragon fire gathered in its gaping maw.
Then, an enormous, dragon-shaped flame, carrying immense power, shot towards the crowd.
"Be careful!"
The Knights of Favonius, seeing this, quickly warned everyone and dodged, but Acting Grand Master Jean, Diluc, Eula, and Miyashiro paid no attention to the approaching flames.
Miyashiro merely glanced at it and said, "Noisy!"
[Water Release: Water Severing Wave!]
After quickly forming hand seals, Miyashiro very unethically spat a mouthful of saliva, which, the moment it left his body, transformed into a thin, narrow stream of water.
But it was this small stream of water that instantly pierced through and detonated the dragon flame, which had a temperature of over a thousand degrees.
Not only that, the stream of water that pierced the fireball, with lightning speed, directly struck the chest of The Dragon Ursa.
Its hard dragon scales were like paper, completely penetrated by that stream of water, leaving a hole.
The Dragon Ursa looked at the hole in its chest with a bewildered expression, not understanding what had just happened.
Then, a piercing pain belatedly arrived, and the intense pain drove The Dragon Ursa into complete madness, causing it to start thrashing about in the sky.
Miyashiro turned back to Acting Grand Master Jean and continued, "That was purely self-defense, not a violation.
Has Acting Grand Master Jean made a decision yet?"
Although Miyashiro's action had a hint of taking advantage of the situation, Acting Grand Master Jean, after witnessing Miyashiro's incredible combat power, could only nod in agreement and say, "Alright, then it will be as Regent said.
Acting Grand Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius is willing to reduce tariffs by five points in exchange for the assistance of the Inazuma Regent!"
Miyashiro finally smiled and said, "Isn't that better? If you had agreed earlier, the matter of a few immortal-level dragons wouldn't have come to this point.
Acting Grand Master Jean, watch closely!"
Before he finished speaking, Miyashiro vanished from his spot.
The next moment, he appeared on top of one of The Dragon Ursa, stomping down directly.
The unprepared Dragon Ursa suddenly felt a huge force strike its back, causing it to lose its balance and plummet straight into Cider Lake, splashing water dozens of meters high like a Filipino national diver.
The other Dragon Ursa, seeing this, quickly lunged towards Miyashiro's location, its sharp claws raised high, attempting to tear the 'insect' in front of it to shreds.
Clang!
The dragon claws strangely emitted a metallic sound, as if they had grabbed onto something solid.
The Dragon Ursa's eyes widened, as if it had seen something terrifying.
A giant purple skeletal hand easily caught The Dragon Ursa's claws.
No matter how it struggled, whether by breathing fire, kicking, or swinging its tail, it couldn't escape from that skeletal hand.
Immediately after, flesh and blood began to grow on the skeletal hand, covered by armor.
The owner of the giant hand also grew larger and larger, and its chilling, terrifying pressure even made Ursa, a giant dragon, gasp for breath.
At this moment, The Dragon Ursa, in front of Miyashiro's Susanoo, was like a small chicken being lifted up.
The fear in Ursa's eyes was now beyond measure.
This... this was simply a terrifying existence that it couldn't contend with.
Why could humans, these insignificant 'insects,' possess such great power?
Miyashiro, controlling Susanoo, grabbed The Dragon Ursa's other claw.
Then, under Ursa's horrified gaze, Susanoo's hands began to pull outwards... Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!
The Dragon Ursa, under this terrifying force, felt its body about to be torn apart, letting out a tragic, painful wail.
The next moment, all wails ceased abruptly, because The Dragon Ursa in Susanoo's hands had now been torn in half.
Scalding dragon blood continuously flowed down from the torn wounds from high in the sky, staining a large area of Cider Lake red.
Bang!
The other Dragon Ursa, which had previously fallen into Cider Lake, seeing this terrifying scene, immediately chose to flee.
Under the instincts of fear and survival, The Dragon Ursa's flying speed at this moment must have exceeded its limit.
The Dragon Ursa was originally a giant dragon that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Otherwise, its existence would not have been mentioned multiple times in Mondstadt's historical records.
It fled from a battle with Vennessa, who was blessed by Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, and it also fled from a battle with Crepus, who used a Delusion.
Miyashiro, seeing this, calmly threw the corpse of The Dragon Ursa in his hand into his Kamui Dimension.
Then, controlling his Susanoo, he drew the Chakra katana he wore at his waist, muttering, "I wonder, are you faster, or is my blade faster?"
Miyashiro, without hesitation, swung his blade in the direction The Dragon Ursa had fled.
A single-stroke sword qi, swift as lightning, accurately struck and pierced through The Dragon Ursa's body, even though The Dragon Ursa had already flown thousands of meters away.
The Dragon Ursa's body was split in two by the sword qi, its wide, angry eyes filled with disbelief, before it finally crashed heavily to the ground.
This battle, from Miyashiro's appearance to his action, lasted less than five minutes, yet he easily slayed two dragons that had almost driven the Knights of Favonius to despair.
This... is this really something a human can do?
