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

At this moment, Captain Kluff, who was standing in the center of the magic circle, stared intently at the armored dinosaur in front of him, which was being held back by several armed dwarves, with eyes ashen as death.

Once all the smaller magic circles were connected, the somewhat strange-looking magic circle began to slowly operate.

Powerful streams of magic surged forth like a raging torrent, rushing directly into Kluff's body.

Meanwhile, the dwarves standing on the small magic circle continuously supplied magic power to the dwarf in the very center!

All of this continuous magical power eventually converged into Kluff's body!

Gransta finally understood the specific function of the magic circle. Its purpose was to create a magic channel for the dwarves standing in the magic circle, and then have everyone else provide a large amount of magic to one of the core figures.

However, isn't this method a bit too brutal? Can he really withstand such a massive influx of magic?

At this very moment, Kluff, who was located at the core of the magic circle, seemed to be in a state of extreme pain. The excruciating pain, as if his body was being torn apart, instantly spread throughout his entire body.

"Ah~"

"For the sake of our people, and to fulfill our king's command, we must punish this beast, even at the cost of our lives."

A low growl came from his throat.

Kluff, who was originally only a little over one meter tall, suddenly grew to more than two meters tall in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the magical aura emanating from his body was directly upgraded to the B+ level, completely on par with the magical power level of the armored dinosaur.

A gigantic iron hammer, as heavy as a mountain, slammed down on the armored dinosaur's incredibly hard head!

Instantly, a dull thud was heard, and the armored dinosaur was knocked back several steps by the hammer, its head even caved in deeply!

"Hoo~ Ugh"

It let out a bloodcurdling roar and stared in astonishment at the dwarf who was more than two meters tall.

It simply couldn't understand why that tiny dwarf had suddenly become so powerful, and even possessed such terrifying strength!

"The dwarves don't seem to be good at magic; they rely solely on their excellent equipment and strong defenses."

Gulansta shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

"That dwarf has a really bad temper; he actually went straight into melee combat with the armored dinosaur!"

However, when he saw the armored dinosaur's battered and bruised state, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

If he continued to stand by and watch, wouldn't he have made a wasted trip? With that thought in mind, Gransta cast a spell without hesitation.

【Ice Thorns】

In an instant, a mysterious and eerie magic circle silently appeared where they were locked in fierce combat. Immediately afterwards, countless icy vines, like venomous snakes, swiftly coiled around them, tightly binding their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely cold frost spread at an astonishing speed, climbing onto their bodies.

The dwarves around them gaped in astonishment, clearly seeing a dark blue magic circle suddenly appear beneath their beloved leader's feet. Instantly, the leader was frozen solid by a powerful icy force!

The dwarves could hardly believe their eyes, and they couldn't help but shout in unison.

"Commander Kruf—"

However, at this moment, no amount of shouting seemed to be able to awaken the frozen commander.

At the same time, Granstas appeared above them like a ghost. He hovered silently, looking down at the two frozen solid below. His gaze was cold and resolute, as if declaring ownership of this armored dinosaur.

"Sorry, I've already set my sights on this armored dinosaur..."

Granstas's voice was calm and even, yet carried an irresistible authority, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Everyone tensed and looked up, gazing intently at the mysterious figure floating in the air above.

"That...that looks like an elf..."

Someone uttered those words in a trembling voice, which immediately caused a stir.

The dwarves exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with fear and confusion. They could sense the terrifying magical power emanating from Gransta, as abyss-like ashes—could it be a power level above A?

An A-rank elf? Why is he here? What does he want to do? Countless questions flooded his mind, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Although the frozen commander Klöf could not speak, he stared intently at Gransta.

"I have no ill intentions toward the dwarves; I'm just interested in this monster."

Granstas added a sentence, then looked down at the mutated armored dinosaur below and raised his hand slightly.

A several-meter-long ice spike pierced straight towards the monster's heart, and the armored dinosaur's eyes widened in terror...

With a "rip~" sound.

The ice spike pierced through the armored dinosaur's body, but Gransta was somewhat surprised to sense that its life force had not yet disappeared.

【Ice Blade】

So he delivered another blow, slicing off the monster's head with an ice blade.

At that moment, a notification sounded in my mind, confirming that the armored dinosaur was completely dead.

"The host hunted down a Class B armored dinosaur and acquired the Plunder skills [Armored Body], [Metal Control], and [Scorching Breath]..."

"Obtained Grade B material..."

Gransta didn't leave the remaining body of the armored dinosaur behind; he casually put it into the material storage and brought it back to Rimuru as an extra treat!

Only then did he turn his attention to the wary dwarfs, and also removed the ice from Kruf's body.

The surrounding dwarfs quickly gathered around.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Kloff shook his head and looked toward Gransta's location.

"Your Excellency, I am the commander of the Second Legion under the Dwarf King. May I ask...?"

Gransta naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and waved to interrupt him. After thinking for a moment, she took out a few bottles of magic potions and threw them to Kluff.

"This is a magic potion, consider it compensation for stealing your monster! I don't want to offend your Hero King."

Without giving Klof a chance to react, it turned into blue light and left.

"Stealing monsters?"

Kloff opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more.

"Wow, Captain, look at the effects of that elf's magic potion! It's ridiculously powerful!"

Kluff looked at the dwarf who had spoken with disbelief.
