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

"Lord Gransta is calculating the possibility of this situation... Assuming the conditions for awakening a Demon Lord are met, the World Tree's blessing effect might increase the Spirit's maximum potential, which would consume Spirit Essence..."

...

Gransta could only wait silently, while Elru Salion winked at him curiously.

"You are destined to become an awakened Demon King, why fall into the trap of becoming a Demon King?"

Granstas glanced at her in surprise. If he couldn't awaken the Demon King, how would he face the characters from the original work who would appear next, especially the Demon King banquet held after Rimuru successfully awakened?

With his current strength, he can at most overwhelm those below the level of an awakened Demon Lord. For example, he was helpless against Demon Lord Kazarim, who appeared last time to rescue the Joker members. And this person before him was only temporarily imprisoned by his first move...

When Elru Salion saw that Gransta was ignoring her, she naturally knew something with her keen eyesight. However, since the World Tree had already involved the interests of the Magic Dynasty, she was determined to stop him.

Fortunately, the Overlord had already finished analyzing the data, and only a few minutes had passed.

"Lord Gransta, a perfect plan has been prepared for you..."

A smile appeared on Gransta's face. His eyes lit up after hearing the plan proposed by the Overlord. How could he have forgotten the power of the Elf Throne and the vast amount of elven power?

These two energies can completely replenish the source energy consumed by the World Tree's blessing.

When Elru Salion saw Gransta's smile, he felt a bad feeling for some reason, but the damned restraint was only a little over a minute away from being broken.

At this time,

"I apologize, Your Majesty Elru Salion, I may have to be rude."

Before Elliu Salion could react, Gransta grabbed her by the shoulder and threw her towards the entrance.

The moment she touched the barrier, the forbidden high-price instant-death magic immediately detected the intrusion and activated the magic circle to lock it in place. However, when it detected Elru Salion's identity, it immediately dimmed.

Elru Salion's expression changed, and just as she was about to turn around, she heard a cold voice.

"【Extreme Cold Region】"

"【Ice Burst】"

Gransta immediately activated his magic and domain, freezing the forbidden magic circle that had just fallen silent. Then, with a loud bang, he blasted the core of the magic circle open.

He also deliberately avoided the destruction teleportation magic, and was teleported away by the triggered magic the moment Elru Salion's imprisonment expired.

She left behind only a harsh sentence in the empty space, and no one knows where she was teleported to.

"You...you idiot!"

Under the influence of the extreme cold, frost spread over a large area, the temperature dropped rapidly, and snowflakes began to fall in the sky above the entire palace.

Gulansta clapped his hands cleanly and walked straight into the entrance.

"It's much quieter now."

...

Elf Arena

The Ice Guardian's greatsword was pointed directly at Count Victoria, unleashing a powerful aura that made no attempt to conceal the magic within him.

Earl Victoria's expression changed, and she abandoned her previous slight disdain, looking down at her daughter.

"Ivy, you should leave now."

"I might have to get serious now. After all these years, I've finally met a master swordsman."

"Okay." Ivy nodded and left, knowing that the upcoming duel was beyond the reach of someone of her level.

boom--

An astonishing explosion followed, followed by a violent earthquake, as if the World Tree was about to collapse.

This caused the faces of Earl Victoria and all the elves to turn pale.

"Is it... is it the direction of the royal palace?"

"Something's wrong. The World Tree has changed. Could something have happened at the Royal Palace?"

The Ice Guard also subconsciously glanced towards the direction of the royal palace, his head lowered, his gaze flickering, and he murmured:

"It seems that Lord Gransta has already begun to take action. I should also contribute my meager strength to the Lord."

Earl Victoria's face showed fear. Something must have happened to the World Tree, and his teacher, His Majesty Elru Salion, was its guardian. In other words, his teacher had also met with an accident.

He could no longer concern himself with the challenge; as a member of the Magic Dynasty and a disciple of his teacher, his priority was to return to the palace immediately.

But at this moment,

A large blue barrier covered the entire Elf Arena, which had attracted nearly ten thousand spectators and most of the Elf nobles because of the Ice Guard's new winning streak.

"Masked! What are you doing?!"

Earl Victoria roared, his majestic face contorted, veins bulging.

"You only have one choice... and that is to defeat me!"

The Ice Guardian raised its greatsword and unleashed a wide-range, icy blue slash at its opponent, activating its special ability.

Wherever the slash passed, ice spikes filled the battlefield, turning it into an icy hell.

Earl Victoria was truly enraged. A fierce wind swept up ice crystals from the ground, and the air currents moved rapidly under strange changes, forming a huge storm tornado.

Two demonic auras, one blue and one cyan, clashed violently in the air, subtly creating a situation of evenly matched strength.

The Ice Guard and Victoria exchanged a glance and both understood in their hearts that this clash of abilities could not determine a winner.

The quickest way is... a sword duel!

brush--

Victoria's voice appeared instantly in front of the Ice Guardian. Don't forget that he is known as the Gale Sword Saint; speed and terrifying slashes are his strongest abilities.

boom--

The Ice Guardian hastily raised his sword to defend, but was sent flying backward and crashed into the edge of the arena behind him.

On the bustling streets,

Two figures, one tall and one short, wandered around the various stalls, eating with gusto.

"Sister Long Xueqing, it seems the teacher has started to make a move. Should we still eat it?" Kuroya tugged at Long Xueqing's sleeve and asked softly.

"Let's wait a little longer!"

Long Xueqing looked uncertainly towards the end of the street.

tata tao...

The ground trembled slightly, and a large number of well-equipped soldiers with magical weapons appeared at the end of the street, along with many figures in magical cloaks. They ran in an orderly fashion toward the royal palace.

These people numbered nearly a thousand, all of whom were the most elite magic soldiers and magic mages of the Magic Dynasty.

The moment Long Xueqing saw these soldiers, her dragon eyes immediately erupted with intense fighting spirit. She casually tossed the kebabs on the ground, spread her golden dragon wings, and soared straight into the sky.

"Finally, some work... Kuroya, just stay far away and buff me."

"oh."
