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

Hearing Bing Yuwei's resolute words, Long Xueqing felt a chill run down her spine, and her anger completely subsided.

She suddenly felt something tugging at her clothes, and when Long Xueqing looked down, she saw Kuroya looking timid.

"Sister Long Xueqing, let's trust our teacher! There's nothing a teacher can't do in this world!"

A gentle smile appeared on Long Xueqing's cold and aloof face as she gently patted Kuroya's small head.

"Yes! In this world, there is no one who can stop Lord Granstas from advancing!"

Seeing this, the Ice Guard breathed a sigh of relief deep inside, closed his eyes, and relied on the connection of their origins to carefully sense Lord Gransta's aura...

If Long Xueqing were to completely go berserk, even he probably wouldn't be able to stop her. The most crucial point is that the adults had once told him that there was an unknown hidden danger within Long Xueqing's body.

...

Elru Salion waved his scepter, and the personal bestowal ceremony lasted for nearly ten minutes. The two were enveloped in extremely dense life energy, which began to gather on Gransta's left shoulder and chest.

"Gransta, the initiation ceremony is complete. From this moment on, you are the Elf Duke, enjoying absolute freedom and privileges!"

The ceremony was complete, and Erlu Salion's tone became much more casual than before.

"Hmm." Gransta did not sense anything unusual during the ritual.

Gransta curiously lowered his head and looked at his left shoulder and chest.

"This is?"

A new shoulder guard, inlaid with rubies and sapphires and adorned with gold patterns, appeared on his left shoulder. A pure white gold brooch, engraved with the World Tree motif, appeared on his chest.

Elru Salion explained with a smile, "This is a magical artifact unique to the Elf Duke. It not only has special abilities but also symbolizes status and power."

Gransta understood. As for the special abilities of these two magical artifacts, there was no rush to delve into them now; they could be left to the Overlord to analyze later.

"Salion, I've agreed to your terms. You can leave now!"

"Absolutely...but..." Elru Salion's tone suddenly changed, as if he was about to change his mind.

Gransta's expression changed; he felt a strange emptiness in his hands...

"Haha...what's the rush..." Elru Salion covered her mouth with laughter, then turned serious and said solemnly to him:

"Don't underestimate awakening. It's not just an increase in power level, but a complete transformation of both mental and physical strength."

"Due to your special circumstances... your current magic power and abilities far exceed those of an ordinary Demon Lord. It's possible... your awakening will plunge you into a long slumber, so... you must be mentally prepared!"

Gulansta was speechless. He thought the woman in front of him was going to make some demands again, so he loosened his grip on her hand.

It seems that Erlu Salion had already guessed his current situation and even offered a reminder.

Gransta silently noted Elru Salion's words; it seemed he needed to be more cautious during the awakening process.

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to prepare the awakening environment."

"I hope so."

Knowing that time was of the essence for Gransta, Elru Salion shattered the mental space with a wave of his hand, revealing the two figures in full.

"Your Majesty!"

Victoria and Wicker were delighted to see their Queen emerge and approached her with great joy.

But when they saw Gransta beside Her Majesty the Queen, their eyes widened in shock. More precisely, they looked at the man's shoulders and chest.

"A...a duke's coat of arms??? His Highness the Prince??"

After confirming the situation, Victoria and Wicker's knees buckled and they almost knelt down before the two adults in front of them.

"Lord Gransta!"

"teacher!!"

A pleasant sound of surprise rang out behind him. His subordinates were already standing neatly behind him. When Gransta turned his head, he saw these people staring at him with shining eyes.

Gulansta nodded and smiled, speaking in a relaxed and comfortable tone:

"Okay, we can leave now."

Long Xueqing and Kuroya's gazes toward Lord Gransta grew ever brighter, while the Ice Guards stood ramrod straight like silent knights, without uttering a word.

Granstas's gaze shifted and landed on the eager-to-try guy in Kuroya's arms.

"Ramillies, it's up to you now."

"Haha...it's finally my turn to shine." Ramiris broke free from Chloe's arms and flew into the air with lightning speed, hands on her hips, laughing triumphantly.

She even raised her chin triumphantly at Elru Salion, who was not far away, her eyes haughty.

Elru Salion, who had been observing the situation, covered his mouth, shook his head, and smiled when he saw Ramiris's actions, ignoring her.

Gransta couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This guy definitely knew Elru Salion, and the two didn't seem to get along. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept urging him to use force.

Thinking back on his journey, Ramiris had guided him to some extent, but Gransta had indeed accomplished his goal, though the process was mixed with her personal motives.

"Never mind..." Gransta shook his head, rubbing his forehead. He decided not to think about it anymore. Ramiris's personality was just like that—lively, innocent, and cunning...

Ramiris felt extremely satisfied with Salion's actions, and her smile almost reached her ears.

"Gransta, now it's my turn to shine."

Ramiris soared into the air and sketched a complex magic circle in the void, completing it almost instantly.

As the teleportation array was completed, ripples spread through the void, forming a magnificent teleportation gate in the center.

"Yay, it's finished, I'll be going now."

call out--

Ramiris leaped into the portal in an instant, and a ripple appeared on the portal before disappearing.

"Let's go too!" Gransta looked at the group behind him, then transformed into a miniature elf and sat on the Ice Guardian's shoulder.

"Yes, sir!"

The group arrived at the teleportation gate, and everyone's presence vanished from the space.

Boom boom—

After Gransta and the others entered the portal, the portal collapsed and shattered due to the lack of energy.

Elru Salion's gaze remained fixed on the spot where Gransta had just left, his eyes lowered as if he were deep in thought.

"Teacher, I truly don't understand why you personally bestowed the title of Grand Duke upon that outsider elf!"

Victoria then spoke, her expression seemingly slightly displeased.

Elru Salion acted as if he hadn't heard, continuing to look in that direction.

Victoria wanted to say something, but was immediately stopped by Wicker, who shook his head at her.

"It is our duty to obey Her Majesty the Queen's will! Victoria!"

At this time,

Elru Salion's lips suddenly curled into a slight smile, as if he had thought of something very interesting. He whispered in a voice only he could hear, "...The [Elf King] who has only appeared in the last few thousand years...the second-in-command of the newly formed monster kingdom...and possibly the future Ice Demon King..."

"Heh... no matter how you look at it... I'm not at a loss..."
