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

The Ice Guard remained silent, not uttering a word, which puzzled the person on the other side.

"I see. It seems I have to defeat you to make you speak."

Earl Victoria had already mentally deduced that the other party felt he wasn't qualified to know, and given his urgent need to leave the barrier, he made his decision...

He was about to use that move, and a serious voice echoed in the arena:

"My next move will definitely not disappoint you, Masked Lord... so let me witness your subsequent sword skills."

The Ice Guards began to take their stance seriously, as Count Victoria's violent magical aura began to stabilize, seemingly making ample preparations for the move he had mentioned.

As for Victoria wanting to see his next sword move, the Ice Guard pretended not to hear... because he only knew that one sword technique... which was developed by Elder Bai based on the Ice Guard's special abilities.

The Ice Guardian had only recently begun learning swordsmanship, and knew only one technique; his foundation was insufficient. Unlike Earl Victoria, he had not been a renowned swordsman for centuries.

I see,

A thin layer of cyan energy covered the rapier in Victoria's hand, and the blade vibrated at an extremely fast speed. Terrifying wind elemental magic began to compress at a single point on the tip of the sword.

"Hehehe, Masked Lord, I think you are qualified to witness the sword technique I have recently mastered. I have never tested the power of this sword on anyone else."

"You're lucky. I hope you can survive this sword..."

His tone revealed a strong sense of confidence, as if this sword strike was both amazing and earth-shattering.

Victoria unleashed her full Sword Saint aura, locking onto the Ice Guard from afar. This attack was almost impossible to dodge, possessing the characteristic of being guaranteed to hit.

The Ice Guard immediately assumed a defensive stance, completely ignoring Count Victoria's pretentious words, adhering to his principle of not wasting words.

"This move is called [Aurora]."

A fierce killing intent erupted in Victoria's eyes, and the condensed and compressed light on the tip of her sword was just like the aurora borealis, a very apt description.

His entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning, traversing space at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and in a fraction of a second, he pierced through the Ice Guard with his sword.

Victoria was almost certain that this attack would pierce through the body of the ice knight in front of her, and she felt a little smug.

hum-

The space trembled slightly, the aurora seemed about to pierce through the space, and with it came the aura of ultimate death.

Earl Victoria looked at the Ice Guard, who had stopped making any defenses and was actually going to take his sword strike head-on, with great surprise.

Could it be that, after witnessing the stunning power of that sword strike, it has already given up the struggle?

Just as the sword tip was about to touch the Ice Guard, a snap of fingers suddenly rang out in mid-air.

"[Same fate]!!"

If the Ice Guard could laugh, he would definitely laugh triumphantly. Who said that sword techniques must be used in a sword duel?

He had no sword technique to block this attack... but he had a special skill.

puff--

Blood gushed forth for three thousand miles, staining the snow red and faces white, before finally drifting away like withered leaves, falling silently into the distance.

The Ice Guardian casually wiped the greatsword in his hand, where a few streaks of crimson had been stained.

Shock! A deathly silence followed!

This was witnessed by nearly ten thousand spectators, when a self-proclaimed Masked Ice Knight defeated the pride of the Magic Dynasty.

Disciple of His Majesty the Magic Dynasty! The youngest Swift Wind Sword Saint! Earl Victoria, the Wind Elf!

He lost.

They lost in front of everyone!

At this moment, the word "mask" was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

...

A figure slowly stepped out from the entrance to the underground treasury of the Magic King's Palace.

"Lord Gransta, the World Tree has successfully received its blessing... and its magic element storage limit has been infinitely increased..."

"The Throne of Elves has merged with the power of blessing, and is beginning to submit its application to the World's Will..."

Do you agree or disagree?

If Gransta agrees, the Overlord can submit an application to the World Will, and then he can complete the awakening process.

However, now is not the time to awaken.

"My Lord, please postpone submitting my application and give me some time to handle the rest."

"This can buy the adults three hours!"

Gransta nodded silently. Three hours was enough for him to handle his business and leave the Magic Dynasty.

He first checked the elven power stored within the Elven Throne, and found that a third of it had already been consumed. To replenish the World Tree's depleted essence, the only way to repair it was through energy similar to that of the two.

The moment the World Tree received its blessing, the entire Magic Dynasty trembled and showed signs of collapse. They had no choice but to repair the World Tree using the plan provided by the Overlord.

The woman who is the guardian of the World Tree must be able to sense the changes, but she doesn't know where she has been teleported to now.

Granstas first planned to go out and find his subordinates, ready to evacuate the Magic Dynasty at any time.

Just as he stepped out of the palace, Gransta narrowed his eyes and noticed several familiar figures in the distance, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"Lord Gransta!"

"teacher!"

A joyful cry rang out, and Chloe immediately jumped into Gransta's arms, nuzzling her cute little head.

Long Xueqing and the Ice Guard walked over at the same time. After sensing the subtle changes in Lord Gransta, they exclaimed with delight:

"Lord Gransta, you succeeded?"

"Hmm." Gransta nodded.

"We need to leave before His Majesty the Sorcerer returns."

Gransta, holding Kuroya, instructed them, "If that woman comes back and tries to leave, it will be troublesome."

"yes!"

"Oh, right, sir, we have a surprise for you!"

Gulansta looked at Long Xueqing's excited face with a puzzled expression, feeling a little regretful that she was planning to give him some kind of surprise.

"While you were away, sir, we haven't been idle."

"I also brought back an arrogant guy. This guy seems to be a legion commander leading a magic legion of nearly a thousand."

"To prevent them from disturbing you, I can stop them all."

Long Xueqing wore an expression that seemed to say, "Praise me!" as she eagerly sought credit.

"I did my part too," Kuroya said, raising her hand.

"My lord, I've also brought you back a fellow."

The Ice Guards stepped forward and pointed to a spot.

Gransta quickly turned his head and saw two elves staring at each other on the ground not far away.

"Holy crap, you got kidnapped too?"

"Hmph, you despicable bastard!"
