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

As for the deepest part of the desolate graveyard, several figures gradually appeared, stepping on the withered ground, making a "crunch" sound as rotting bones broke.

"Is that the castle we can vaguely see ahead Clayman's lair?"

"Based on the intelligence information, that should be it."

Cangying followed behind the two, glanced at the castle hidden in the shadows at the front, nodded, and then fell silent.

"Heh, logically speaking, given the cautious nature of Demon King Clayman, the area around his lair should be the most dangerous."

"We... should still be careful."

Old Bai, dressed in white, stood out from the oppressive environment around him, his eyes alert and on high alert.

"That's right... but this place is full of nothing but broken bones."

Victor, the wind spirit standing beside Elder Bai, frowned, his expression slightly puzzled.

He lived more under the World Tree of the Salian dynasty, and frowned at such a gloomy environment.

The three of them were there on a mission, their destination being Kreman's headquarters.

Clayman is not home right now, and the most troublesome demon army is currently locked in a fierce battle with Benimaru's legion.

They will seize every opportunity, and with one burst of energy, they will strike the enemy's lair.

When Rimuru explained to them, he had a wicked smile on his face and a despicable expression.

They unanimously agreed with the tactics devised by Lord Rimuru, believing it to be a good opportunity.

......

"etc....."

Elder Bai's senses were extremely sharp, especially his third sense, which caused a faint tremor in the eye on his forehead. He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"I sensed a different kind of aura."

"If we go any further, it might be dangerous."

"Danger?"

Victor glanced at the old man in front of him with surprise. As a sword saint, his senses were just as sharp, but he couldn't sense any danger.

Upon hearing Elder Bai's reminder, Cangying did not hesitate to stop exploring forward. Instead, he crouched down and put his ear close to the ground. Thin threads, like ice crystals, burrowed into the ground, carrying his senses as he explored the surroundings.

Soon, Cangying sensed something was wrong; his perception, after extending to a certain range, was plunged into darkness.

"It's a barrier."

Cangying quickly realized that his attempt to send information to the outside world had been completely ineffective.

Victor's expression changed upon hearing this, and he gripped the longsword at his waist.

Just as the three were on high alert of their surroundings,

"Hehehe—"

Strange, eerie laughter echoed from all directions, accompanied by a sense of schadenfreude.

"Damn old man, I was hoping you could venture a little deeper into the barrier, but we've been discovered."

"However... it doesn't matter, this is enough for you all to die here, hehehe..."

Strange laughter echoed around him, and Victor's eyes twitched visibly.

"This guy..."

Cangying crossed his arms, his eyes calm and indifferent.

"Hehe... This guy is not easy to deal with, you guys be careful." Old Bai stroked his chin and beard and chuckled, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

"Hehehe—"

"Stop struggling, just wait to be drained dry, bit by bit."

Just then, a white forbidden spell lit up the barrier, and the broken bones on the ground slowly floated upwards, condensing into a giant skeleton, with ghostly blue flames burning in the hollows of its eyes.

A dragon-shaped creature made entirely of bones came into view, and it roared a few times after being resurrected.

Viktor was greatly alarmed and instinctively said:

"Is that a skeletal dragon? Could it be necromancy?"

Necromancy, also known as evil magic, is used by people who are either incredibly powerful or have psychological problems.

Without hesitation, Victor drew his longsword and unleashed his strongest attack almost without thinking.

But another figure was faster; a flash of cold light appeared almost instantly and struck the bone dragon's neck.

click-

The slender sword sliced ​​through the dragon's head with the swiftness of cutting tofu. After the vanished figure of the old man reappeared, the entire dragon head fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Victor paused, his grip on the sword tightening, his throat bobbing, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Old Man Bai.

"So fast..."

If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that sword strike either. This old man is incredibly strong.

The strange laughter, which had been lingering for less than three seconds after the undead bone dragon appeared, suddenly stopped as if it had been frozen in place.

For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward.

"Holy crap..."

Outside the barrier, a figure in a long robe gasped, his movements somewhat flustered.

The figure in the long robe immediately activated the staff in his hand, casting a forbidden spell into the air, and shouted:

"A chilling dread from the very soul, the soul of the king of hell..."

To everyone's astonishment, the forbidden spell spawned three more enormous undead bone dragons, which slowly coalesced into an even larger, three-headed monster.

Roar--

The three-headed monsters roared, and a gust of wind swept across their faces, causing a slight change in their expressions.

Viktor covered his nose with his hand, frowning and saying with disgust:

"It stinks...it smells bad."

"Is this huge thing trying to suffocate us?"

The undead bone dragon was immediately enraged. He was a high-ranking undead in the realm of the dead, a king-like existence. With a single roar, countless undead trembled in fear.

This elf dares to humiliate it?

I simply can't stand it.

The undead bone dragon bared its fangs and unleashed a deadly breath, aimed directly at Viktor.

Victor snorted softly. As Salion's swordsman, he believed his strength was no weaker than the old man's.

He unleashed his strongest slash with his longsword, combining it with the special skill "Wind Chaser" to create an attack that could pierce through anything.

After unleashing this attack, Viktor's thoughts drifted back to the moment when he fought against the Ice Guard in Salion.

After confidently unleashing his attack, the result... he fell.

Viktor never imagined that such a monstrous ability existed in this world; it must be because the Ice Guardians were quite special.

Yes, that must be it.

He also possessed the pride that belonged to the Sword Saint Salion.

Today, let's regain our confidence from this three-headed monster we've summoned.

"Hmph." Victor confidently sheathed his sword, turned around, and exposed his back to his opponent.

A real man never looks back at the outcome.

"boom--"

The white death breath and the piercing sword technique collided, causing the magic energy to go mad and chaotic, but an unexpected event occurred.

The death breath of the undead bone dragon seemed to possess terrifying corrosive properties, and the power attached to the sword technique was rapidly fading.

"Victor...watch out!"

Cangying quickly reminded Viktor, "How could this guy turn his back to the enemy?"

So presumptuous?

"Hmm?" Viktor looked at the anxious Cangying with a puzzled expression, then suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back and a chill on the back of his neck.

Before Victor could turn around, he was struck in the back with a terrifying blow, and his face turned pale instantly.

"baby--"

He flew straight out, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and reluctantly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The scene changed too quickly; Old Bai didn't have time to save Viktor, and then he saw a figure fly backward.

After a long while,

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"That's hilarious, I thought he was something special..."

"You made me so nervous, and this is it?"
