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

"Gransta, what's up with this little imp?"

Ramiris had never seen an elf like Cher before, so she asked in confusion.

"Oh, you mean Xue'er? She's a companion spirit."

Gransta pulled Sheryl in front of Ramiris, who, as the Fairy Queen, should know about companion spirits.

"A companion spirit? Are you kidding me...? That's a companion spirit...Do you know how demanding the conditions for its birth are...? Her?"

Ramiris shook her head, and as she spoke, she leaned close to Xue'er and sniffed with her little nose.

"I...I...have seen you...you." Xue'er's words were still a bit awkward, but you could understand what she meant.

"You've seen me before." Ramiris pointed to herself in disbelief, then looked at Gransta with confusion.

Gransta shook his head helplessly and reminded Ramiris.

"Throne of Elves".

Having received the hint, Ramiris's puzzled expression instantly changed, and she looked at Xue'er in shock:

"You...are [the King]?"

When Cher saw that Ramiris recognized her, she nodded in response, her face full of childlike innocence and joy.

"My God... how could I not have imagined that you were a [King]? You're the companion spirit of the Elf Throne! My God, you even have a physical form now... My God!"

Ramiris clutched her head in shock, transforming into a streak of light and flitting about in front of Gransta.

Gransta was speechless. He grabbed the darting Ramiris with his hand and tossed her to Cher.

"Ramillies, behave yourself, you're making my head spin."

Cherrie happily took the toss and went to Ramiris, first giving her a friendly greeting.

"Long time no see... I'm... called Xue'er."

It took Ramiris a long time to recover, and she responded warmly to Cher's friendliness.

"Xue'er? I never expected you to become a companion spirit. The last time I saw you was hundreds of years ago, when you were still thousands of years away from reaching your full form. I never imagined..."

Granstas listened from the side while Ether located Tempest, preparing for a long-distance space jump.

"Locating Tempest - the Monster Sanctuary"

After listening to Ramiris's words, Gransta finally understood some of Cher's background.

Because no Elf King had appeared for thousands of years, an Elf embryo began to form on the Elf Throne, gradually taking shape over a very long period of time...

This elven embryo is Xue'er, and also a candidate for the Elf King.

No wonder the elves call Xue'er "Queen"...

"Perhaps this is a contingency plan for the Elf Throne; if there's no candidate, then let's create one, even if the probability of success is extremely low..."

"I just didn't expect a Gransta to appear. As the Fairy Queen who is in charge of the Elf Throne, I originally wanted to bring you here to give it a try."

Gransta glanced at Ramiris in Xue'er's arms with a hint of annoyance, remembering that he had been tricked into coming here by Ramiris, and said with slight displeasure:

"Hehe, give it a try? I just didn't expect it to succeed on the first try."

"Haha, haha...who would have thought...its selection criteria have always been a mystery."

Ramiris's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and finally, feeling guilty, she dared not look at Gransta any longer.

While Gransta and his group were chatting, Ether had already pinpointed their location, and the space jump had begun.

......

Monster Holy City

The neat streets stretched out in all directions, with white buildings on both sides showcasing the style of ancient Europe. It was hard to imagine that this was a city built by monsters themselves.

At the crossroads in front of the street was a flat square, now teeming with people, goblins, and pig-headed men...

At the center of the platform, there was a soft, blue slime, completely still...

"This is a crucial moment for Lord Rimuru's awakening, and we must not allow him to be disturbed by the outside world."

Benimaru looked at everyone present with a serious expression, his voice echoing across the square.

All the demons and monsters fell silent for a moment.

A female demon with red hair and pointed horns, dressed in the uniform of "Crimson Lotus Lieutenant," trotted over, gave Benimaru a standard salute, and said decisively:

"Commander Benimaru, you can rest assured. Lord Ice Guard has already surrounded the Demon Capital, and the troops of the other lords are also on high alert outside. There will be absolutely no mistakes."

"Hmm." Benimaru nodded, his tightly furrowed brows revealing that he dared not relax for even a moment.

"Brother?" Julai approached Benimaru at that moment. "Are you worried about the Demon King hiding behind the scenes, or are you on guard against that one?"

Following Julai's gaze,

Not far away stood a sinister-looking man in a tuxedo, with black hair and scarlet eyes. His gaze never left Rimuru, who was awakening, and his expression seemed somewhat infatuated.

Red Maru narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the scarlet, sinister-looking man and the two strange demons behind him, and replied in a calm tone:

"Perhaps it's a combination of both."

"We can't be careless. The two high-ranking demons behind him are at least A+ level, and I can't even see through his own strength..."

Seeing Benimaru's wariness, Zhu Lai didn't say anything, but focused more on the three demons.

The people furthest from Rimuru's main body were all Tempest's core members, and she didn't believe those three demons had that kind of power.

at this time,

The demonic man, who had been reveling in his own world, suddenly looked up in disbelief, followed by Benimaru and the others.

Julai, Haku, Gobuta, Shion, Long Xueqing, Torene... the group quickly protected Rimuru.

The space above everyone shook violently, and the ear-piercing buzzing sound made even monsters with strength below B-rank lose their footing.

"This aura... it's at least that of an awakened Demon King." A dangerous glint appeared in the demon man's eyes, his crimson gaze fixed on the commotion above. "Which one of the Ten Great Demon Kings?"

An extremely terrifying magical pressure appeared in the sky, followed by a hissing sound.

A crack several tens of meters long, like an abyss, stretched across the sky, from which several figures fell.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time... no matter who it is..." The demon man's eyes grew increasingly dangerous, and his hands had transformed into metallic claws that gleamed with a jet-black luster.

When Gransta looked down, he saw Rimuru awakening from his slumber.

"What a coincidence!"

Gransta controlled the group as they slowly descended, his gaze sweeping over the familiar crowd below, when he met a pair of astonished eyes.

P.S.: It's so cold, I just want to stay snuggled up in bed and not get up...
