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

Gransta tried to slip away, but Julei seemed to have anticipated his move.

They had already blocked all escape routes.

Gransta chuckled.

"you...."

"The changes in you seem..."

The three women stood before him, looking exactly the same as before, except their skin was now even whiter and softer.

"Hmm..." Zhu Lai covered her mouth and chuckled, then said:

"Lord Gransta...we've all gained another form of 'ice' combat ability...and our magic power and abilities have increased considerably to varying degrees."

"Could it be that Lord Gransta... wants to see what we look like in another form?"

As she finished speaking, Zhu Lai's lips curled slightly.

"Hmm." Long Xueqing and Ziyuan both looked over at the same time, their eyes sparkling with hope.

Gulansta chuckled to himself.

When did Zhu Lai become so bold, making no attempt to hide her true feelings? In the past, she would always smile gently, her face even blushing slightly.

besides....

What's with those hopeful looks in your eyes, you two?

Gransta wanted to change the subject, so he looked at Rimuru with pleading eyes, only to be met with a pair of eye rolls!

"Hmph." Rimuru turned his head away, adding in his mind, "Serves him right!"

Through Ciel's analysis and Haku's explanation, Rimuru finally understood the changes that had occurred in Benimaru and the others.

As Gransta awakens into a Demon Lord, all those bestowed with names are blessed by the lineage monsters... unlocking their potential and granting them new skills.

The birth of the new form "Ice" is a derivative of potential enhancement and racial evolution, which is equivalent to each follower being given the racial form of "Ice Elf".

In this form, one is affected by Gransta's presence. If Gransta wishes, he can even establish a Soul Magic Corridor with nearby followers, temporarily sharing the terrifying magic of awakened demon king level, and the skill tree except for ultimate skills.

In other words...

With Gransta present, they can unleash the power of an ordinary Demon Lord, or even awaken the power of a Demon Lord!

Gransta can take over the "Ice" form of her Favorites at close range, or choose to enhance their abilities.

Rimuru looked at Gransta with a bewildered expression and said:

"Granting you the form of an 'ice' sprite? And the ability to briefly share magic essence and skills? Isn't that just like asking you to possess someone in the present day for a quick fight!"

"Rimuru...you can't say that." Gransta shook his head. "This trait has a fatal weakness."

"I must be near the Favored One in order to share magic essence and skills."

"Think about it... I'm already near the Favored One, is there anything I can't solve with a single 'Ice Blast'!"

"So... this 'granting' property must be used under specific conditions."

Rimuru thought about it and agreed with Gransta.

If Benimaru and her friends were facing an invincible enemy, and Granstar were to throw an ice blast right next to them, very few people could withstand it.

At this moment, Gulansta stroked his chin and said:

"However, in their 'ice' form... their magic power will be significantly increased, and they can inherit many of my skills."

"Hiss..." Rimuru gasped, knowing full well how terrifying the destructive power of many of Gransta's skills was.

"Frost Erosion"... "Soul Freeze"... "Ice Explosion"... "Ignore Physical Damage"... "Spatial Lock"...

Special skills combine these characteristics, and it all depends on whether the enemy is able to withstand them.

If you can't hold on, there's only one word: death!

"Gransta... don't forget, we haven't even paid back the money for freezing an entire city of the Dwarf Kingdom last time... If you all join forces..."

Rimuru felt a pang of bitterness at this thought; how much wealth would it take to withstand such torment?

Granstas glanced at Rimuru speechlessly. He had already said that what happened last time was purely accidental. Besides, he wasn't the kind of demon lord who could freeze human cities at will.

...

The far north, a land frozen in ice.

Deep within the continent lies a demonic gate, radiating an aura of darkness.

The door slowly opened, and two rows of strangely shaped high-ranking demons stood as guards above the hall.

A jet-black throne was placed there, flanked by two delicate-looking maids, one in blue and one in green.

At this time,

Two high-ranking demons approached, respectfully prostrated themselves at the foot of the steps, and asked for instructions.

"Your Majesty... Demon King Clayman has sent important news..."

On the throne lay a handsome man with red hair in a languid posture, exuding a heavy aura.

but....

She was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.

The oldest demon, and also the oldest demon king. He was summoned by the human empire through an evil ritual ten thousand years ago, who asked him to destroy enemy nations.

Then... he did as he was told, and then destroyed the country that had summoned him.

From then on, he became a source of fear in the human heart, and even named himself after the sound of human fear!

A demon from the abyss, the embodiment of fear, the Primal Red—Kykullimthorne.

"Qi Yi..." the maid beside her whispered a reminder.

This time, Qi opened his eyes and looked at the two high-ranking demons below the steps, instantly discerning what they wanted to report.

Guy sat up straight in his seat and said with interest:

"How many years has it been since Clayman planned to hold a Demon King's Banquet?"

"What's even more interesting is... two of the Ten Demon Lords are dead, Frey and Carrion?"

Qi Yi's words were startling, and the two maids beside him couldn't help but look over, a hint of surprise appearing on their calm faces.

You should know that the Ten Demon Kings are among the strongest people in this world, absolutely at the very top of the pyramid!

Who is capable of slaying the Demon King? It's two of them!

It's worth noting that what caused such a stir among the Demon Kings was hundreds of years ago when a human hero challenged and successfully replaced one of them.

Later, this human hero who fell into demon king status gained Guy's approval of his strength.

Since then,

The list of the Ten Great Demon Lords now includes a new figure named "Platinum Demon Lord" Leon Krenwiml.

"It seems a new Demon King has been born in this world. Is it because I haven't been out and about enough that some people are becoming increasingly unruly?"

Qi Yi gave a wicked smile and stood up from his seat.

He may not have been active for many years, but he really wants to see some old friends.

Moreover, Frey and Carrion are potential Demon Lords that he is quite optimistic about, and they still have a chance to advance to the level of Awakened Demon Lord within the next few hundred years.

But now that he's been killed, a slight sense of displeasure rises in Guy's heart.

"Qing, go and invite my dear friend 'Jin,' and tell him I miss him!"

Immediately, Qing rolled her eyes at Qi Yi, feeling somewhat speechless.

If she really said that, which Platinum Demon King would come?

"Yes."

Qing nodded, turned and walked away.
