In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"what?"

Rimuru was originally observing the knights, but now they're all looking at him.

Why are you all looking at me?

Gazel's gaze became even more puzzled, not quite understanding what Lord Gransta meant.

"The ruler of the Jura Alliance you're looking for is this man, Rimuru, and you've met him before."

Seeing that Rimuru didn't say anything, Gransta could only shrug and choose to expose him directly.

Gazel unexpectedly turned his gaze back to Rimuru, scrutinizing him closely from head to toe.

"I've seen him before?"

To his surprise, Gulansta was not the master of this country.

But who is this blue-haired girl in front of me?

Upon seeing this, Rimuru's magical power shifted, and he had no choice but to revert to his slime form.

"Dwarf King, this is my true form. We met before."

"I am indeed the leader of the Jura Union."

Gazel never expected that the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him would suddenly turn into a slime.

"I never expected you to be that slime..."

Rimuru slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Gazel, speaking in a questioning tone.

"Your Majesty, Dwarf King, what is your purpose in sending such a large force to our city?"

Gazel's lips curled into a slight smile as he glanced at Rimuru.

"Of course, it's to recognize your danger and true intentions? A nation composed of monsters is a threat to the countries surrounding the Great Forest of Jura."

Rimuru's expression froze. He hadn't expected that the formation of the Monster Kingdom would cause the surrounding countries to become wary of the Jura Forest.

However, Rimuru still spoke to Gazel with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty the Dwarf King, our country has no intention of harming the surrounding countries; we pursue a free and peaceful life."

Hearing Rimuru's childish words, Gazel shook his head.

"How can you guarantee that these monsters won't harm the surrounding area? Monsters are ultimately evil; their credibility is too low."

Benimaru and the others sensed that the King of Heroes seemed to harbor hostility towards the demons. Their faces showed slight anger, and they subtly placed their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists.

Ziyuan was furious, and her expression suggested she was about to take action.

Gransta shook his head at Benimaru and the others, who could only suppress their anger.

Rimuru clearly hadn't expected the dwarf king to say that.

His expression became serious, and his words became solemn.

"Dwarf King, I can assure you! We monsters are not as evil as you imagine, and I will control them."

Gazel withdrew his gaze from Benimaru and the others; these high-ranking demons were quite a concern for him.

"Oh! Really?"

Then he looked at Rimuru's serious gaze and continued.

"However, I will use my sword to see your true nature for myself, and see if you are just bragging as the leader of the alliance."

"If the sword you carry isn't just for show, then please accept my offer."

As soon as Gazel finished speaking, he drew a black longsword from behind him.

Upon hearing this, the knights behind him were all shaken. Their king had decided to take this seriously, but Kajin's face was filled with worry.

Rimuru's eyes narrowed, but as the leader of everyone's alliance, how could he back down?

"Okay! I accept your suggestion. I'll show you whether I'm bragging or not."

With a somersault, he leaped out to a distance from the Dwarf King and calmly drew his longsword. Rimuru's expression was incredibly serious; he dared not underestimate the Dwarf King in the slightest.

The moment Gazel's hand touched the black longsword, his aura suddenly changed, unleashing an imposing and domineering presence.

"I must admire your courage to accept the swordsmanship challenge of the Sword Saint Gazel Dovalen."

"Of course, you win if you can defend against my continuous attacks."

After explaining the rules of the duel, Gazel looked at Granstas standing to the side.

"However, I would like to ask His Excellency Gransta to be our witness. Would that be so?"

Seeing Gazel staring intently at him, Gransta could only nod in front of everyone. He was still confident in Rimuru and didn't believe Rimuru would lose.

then

He stood between the two people and spoke in a calm tone.

"The purpose of this duel is to use the sword to probe the true nature of the heart."

Therefore, both sides can only use sword techniques.

Seeing that both of them were almost ready, Granstad announced the start of the duel.

"Then let the duel begin!"

The moment the starting signal was given, both sides immediately began their actions.

Rimuru activated his magical perception, clearly capturing the Dwarf King's movements in his mind. However, the Dwarf King was still incredibly fast, barely managing to cope with the incoming black longsword.

After devouring the Orc Lord, Rimuru's magic power increased significantly, and his height grew to about 1.3 meters.

In contrast, King Gazel is quite tall among the dwarves, standing at about 1.7 meters tall, a head taller than Rimuru, but the oppressive aura he exudes is terrifying.

It should be noted that King Gazel's strength was comparable to that of a saint, and his swordsmanship had reached the level of a sword saint.

"Bang!"

Sparks flew as Gazel brandished his black longsword, slicing through the air with menacing blades.

Lim hurriedly caught the sword, sweating profusely. The Dwarf King's attacks were simply too oppressive; every swing of his sword was flawless.

This familiar feeling made Rimuru feel like he was being trained by Haku. Sure enough, all those who are good at swordsmanship are the same.

"Bang!"

Tear

A slash swept past, and Rimuru dodged it with a somersault, but he was still suppressed the whole time.

The expressions of those around him became serious, and Benimaru and the others were all worried for Lord Rimuru.

The one with the strongest reaction was Ziyuan, who kept biting her lower lip, her face full of tension but dared not make a sound.

The knights were filled with excitement and admiration as they watched the king display his divine power, their eyes unable to even catch a glimpse of him with their naked eyes.

After Rimuru blocked one of the dwarf king's slashes, he saw Gazel stop attacking.

They didn't let such a good opportunity pass them by and launched an attack on Gazel.

but

Gazel easily anticipated all of these attack routes and raised his black sword to block them.

They couldn't hit Gazel at all, leaving Rimuru no opening.

"Rimuru, is that all you've got? You seem to be trying to see through my attack?"

Rimuru snorted softly; as the leader of the alliance, he couldn't afford to lose so easily.

"Hmph, I haven't even shown my true abilities yet. What's the rush?"

Gazel smiled slightly, and his aura changed again, exuding a powerful force.

The Great Sage's urgent warning rang in Rimuru's mind.
