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

Whoosh—whoosh

Above the Great Forest of Jura, it was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, carrying with it a tremendous surge of magical energy.

Its flight speed was comparable to the speed of sound, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Milim was excitedly scanning the forest below; her dragon eyesight allowed her to see extremely far.

"Wow, there are so many monsters here. They seem to be planning a local area."

Just now, she noticed that monsters were building houses wherever she went, and their house-building technology seemed quite innovative.

It seems the owner here is quite adept at managing their territory, certainly much better than her...

Milim's pupils gleamed as she swooped down at lightning speed past a lone pig-headed man.

"Hehe, let's grab a pig-headed man and ask him where the owner of this place is."

.....

Inside the ice sculpture castle

Gulansta's brows were furrowed; he was now caught in a dilemma.

Because the Overlord simulated several skill synthesis schemes for him, and he eliminated a few of them after only glancing at them.

Some skills are really useless, like this [Ice Wings]... what the heck is that? It already has a flight skill...

There are only three skill options left, which is why he's conflicted.

【Ice Burst Gun】

Note: This shot, which pierces through ice element and ice explosion power, possesses astonishing single-target damage.

【Icefall Meteorite Array】

Note: Ice meteorites fall within the magic circle's area, causing widespread damage and inflicting an erosion effect.

[Ice - Heavy Armor]

Note: A single-target defensive skill synthesized from specific defensive magic and skills can grant immunity to most magical elemental damage and physical attacks.

Gransta stroked his chin and pondered for a while. To be honest, these skills were all pretty good, corresponding to offensive power, area attack, and defense respectively.

"Dominator, can't I have it all?"

The Overlord hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly to Gransta:

"Lord Gransta, these skills require materials to acquire specific traits before they can be successfully synthesized."

"With the materials you currently have in your inventory, you can only choose to synthesize one skill."

Gulansta facepalmed. He had been saving up these supplies for a long time, and they still weren't enough?

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke without hesitation.

"Dominator, I choose the [Ice - Heavy Armor] skill!"

"Received! Initiating installation process..."

Gransta could see that several A-grade and B-grade materials in his resource library had disappeared, and he felt a little heartbroken.

Fortunately, the few S-rank materials weren't consumed...

"Synthesis successful! Reloading skill tree..."

The sound of the Overlord skill being successfully synthesized echoed in Gransta's mind.

He chose the [Ice Armored Heavy Armor] mainly because he doesn't lack magical attacks, but he is lacking in defense. As a magic caster, he still needs to pay attention to defense.

"Ugh, I really want to go out and travel the world, hunting monsters. There's no way to get rare materials here."

He let out a sigh. However, after thinking about it, he realized that there were still many things to deal with in the Jurassic Forest, so it wasn't a good time to travel.

The ruler seemed to have sensed the master's anxiety.

"Lord Gransta, I still suggest that you go out to travel after you have successfully awakened."

"Oh, awakening? How much longer...?"

Gransta originally wanted to ask him if he had met the conditions for awakening.

warn--

But suddenly, a warning voice rang in his mind, its tone very serious.

"Report: A very powerful magical energy wave is approaching the Demon City. The target is currently classified as dangerous."

Gulansta's expression faltered slightly.

...

Milim was looking curiously at the town below, her little expression showing surprise.

"Haha, this is really amazing! They actually built such a big city here."

Her long eyes gleamed as she scanned the area, and she quickly located the blue-haired girl in the heart of the city.

"Heh heh, found the guy who defeated Krumit. Let me see what you're made of!"

After Milim finished speaking, she swooped down rapidly, like a small shooting star.

Meanwhile, Rimuru, who was listening to Rigurd's report on the progress of his work in the conference building, looked drowsy.

Rigurd didn't dare disturb Lord Rimuru; he simply finished his report and stood quietly to the side.

warn--

"A massive ball of magic has been detected approaching rapidly. Lord Rimuru has been identified as the target."

What!

Rimuru jumped up from his dozing chair with a thud, his eyes wide with no trace of sleepiness.

"Great Sage, is this an enemy attack?"

"The target of the inspection is slightly hostile, so please be prepared to deal with it, Lord Rimuru."

"Huh? They're coming for me?"

boom--

A tremendous explosion came from high above, immediately alarming everyone in the Demon City. They all looked up at the sky, and Rimuru was no exception.

Above the monster, Milim was touching her little head, which already had a large bump on it.

The pain was so intense that tears almost welled up in my eyes.

"Ouch, that hurts! Why is there a barrier around here?! Waaah, it hurts so much!"

She was probably too excited and didn't notice that this area was covered by a light blue barrier. No wonder this town didn't even have city walls, which caused her to run right into one.

"Sir, this is the core area of ​​the Demon Holy City. You may not set foot here without the master's order."

A deep, rumbling sound rang out, carrying a hint of warning.

Milim looked angrily at the barrier, feeling indignant.

"Hmph, is there any place this Demon King can't go? I'll smash this mere barrier to pieces."

After saying that, he raised his fist, ready to strike, and sparks flew as his fist struck the air.

thump—

The entire barrier began to shake, and violent ripples spread from the spot where the fist had struck.

"Huh, its defense is actually that high."

Milim was surprised, because no one had ever dared to take a punch from her head, except for the Demon Lord who was of the same level as her.

However, she became even more excited, her eyes began to show a violent look, and her whole body exuded an aura of destruction.

"Then take another punch from me, hmph!"

Like a sulking child, Milim used her magic this time, and sonic booms resounded.

boom--

This time, the barrier shook even more violently, and the snow-capped mountain next to the ice-sculpted castle also trembled, emitting a muffled groan from within.

"This barrier still won't break! Take another punch from me!"

boom--

Click, click—

Finally, after enduring Milim's three punches, the entire barrier shattered.
