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

A slight smile played on Gransta's lips as he remained motionless amidst the terrifying, churning sound waves.

Carrion's move is incredibly effective against other monsters, even ordinary demon lords, and can inflict tremendous damage; its power could probably destroy a small city.

unfortunately,

Gransta is no ordinary Demon Lord... he is now an Awakened Demon Lord with several ultimate skills.

In terms of magical energy, Gransta is like a bright moon, while Carrion is like a faint star in comparison.

Carrion saw that Gransta remained completely still, and a hint of doubt flashed in his beast eyes.

However, his eyes were quickly consumed by rage, and golden magic suddenly erupted, the sound waves bursting from his mouth instantly transforming into golden pillars of light.

boom--

Lion's Roar Cannon!

A golden beam of light, five or six meters thick, hurtled towards Gransta's location. This beam was purely compressed from Kallion magic energy, a completely reckless attack.

But Gransta sheathed his Ice Demon Sword at that moment, his brows furrowed, his fists clenched, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

"Clayman...you actually..."

This is a move that completely disregards the life force of the controller, Carrion, and is akin to mutual destruction.

This move compresses more than just magic essence; it also drains life force, bringing it infinitely close to the power of an ultimate skill.

Even when facing Milim, Carrion never considered using this move. With the potential of this Beast Lord, she had every chance of successfully awakening her powers within a century, but under Clayman's control...

Gransta recalled the first time he met Carrion. It was when he and Rimuru were on their way back to the Monster Capital, and Carrion stopped them and challenged them to a duel.

then,

Granstadt's first impression of Carrion was that he was a genuinely warlike man, but also extremely arrogant, especially in front of his subordinates.

Even if Carrion admits he's strong, he'll never admit defeat...

Gransta remembered some things Carrion had said to him in the Monster Capital... and then decided to form an alliance with Tempest.

"Gransta, although I disliked you before I met you... I have to admit you're very strong..."

"I also have the power to protect this country... but remember, if my strength surpasses yours, I will challenge you again..."

Granstas simply asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because strength is everything, the weak don't even have the right to survive."

...

Wandering thoughts, fleeting in an instant.

Gransta loosened his clenched fist, letting out a heavy sigh. Looking at the controlled Carrion, he suddenly understood Carrion's previous obsession with power.

"Calyon..."

Gransta's lips moved, and he slowly raised one hand, even facing the oncoming golden beam without flinching or dodging, and said in a low voice:

"Let...I be the one to free you."

in an instant,

The golden beam swept directly across Gransta's body, as if he were in a golden torrent, his entire body bathed in a layer of golden light.

Gransta could even sense Carrion's rage and resentment amidst the raging magic...

Even after the terrifying golden beam of light had completely swept past Gransta, he remained standing there motionless, his hand still raised.

Carrion, however, had shed his golden lion form; his lips were purple, and he lay weakly curled up on the cold ground, like a helpless beast.

The icy ground... was stained with a glaring crimson...

"Ether!"

"exist."

"Begin defining...controlling...destruction!"

"Yes."

After hearing Ether's affirmative reply, Gulansta turned around and strode off in another direction without looking back.

There's still a small problem to solve... and a question arises in my mind: how could someone as intelligent as Frey be controlled by Klayman... especially considering her relationship with Milim...

Milim shouldn't just stand by and do nothing, right?

Why?

The moment the thought crossed Gransta's mind, his figure slowly materialized in the air.

But the moment he appeared, several fierce hurricanes tore towards him, accompanied by the mournful howl of the wind...

Gulansta only caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of his eye before his robes suddenly burst open, turning into several tattered strips that hung limply down.

Fortunately, Gransta managed to turn slightly to the side in the instant he realized what was happening, preventing the terrifying tearing hurricanes from touching his body.

"Frei...you're much more dangerous than Carrion."

Granstas's lips curled into a helpless smile. His current body was a real flesh and blood, not the magical body he used to have, and it could also be damaged.

After Frey's sneak attack missed, her figure slowly appeared not far in front of Gransta, as if reflected in a mirror.

"Elf..." The moment Frey saw Gransta, her eyes were as lifeless as Carrion's, but her pupils glowed red.

However, she looked much better than Carrion, perhaps this is related to their personalities...

Granstas was surprised to see that Frey still retained a sliver of rationality.

The rationality in Frey's eyes lasted only a few seconds before returning to bloodthirsty gazes. Her red eyes fell on Gransta, and she let out a furious roar.

"kill!"

Gulansta immediately withdrew and retreated.

slam-la-

The original location seemed to materialize, then shattered like a mirror, turning into scattered fragments.

Amidst the swirling fragments, Frey appeared out of nowhere, turning her head to look at Gransta, who was hurtling a hundred meters away.

Her exquisite face was completely expressionless, her pure white wings trembled slightly, and her hands were replaced by ten icy claws.

"Hiss... That's fast... I can't even catch it..."

Gransta's eyes turned cautious. Just a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of his eye, and Frey had already appeared behind him. Especially her sharp claws made his whole body tense up and exude a dangerous aura.

"The Ten Demon Kings... even the lowest-ranking team... should not be underestimated."

Gransta flipped his hand, and the Ice Demon Sword appeared in his palm, his entire body exuding an eerie, icy blue aura.

Azure ice flowers began to condense around him... Eerie, icy blue flames flickered within the buds...

Granstas's lips curled up slightly as he watched Frey hurtle toward him with undiminished momentum. He swung his Ice Demon Sword and slashed at the space in front of him.

"Ice Blast!"
