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

When Gransta saw that the goblins and frost wolves were all looking at him, it seemed that he had to adopt the demeanor of an instructor.

"I had already planned the training program before I came, so just train according to my instructions!"

"It's amazing that Lord Granstas is personally training us."

One of the goblins seemed quite happy.

Gulansta smiled when he saw this, saying, "You'll be crying later."

"Goblins and Frost Wolves, separate for now. I won't train your teamwork skills right now; I'll correct your laziness first."

The goblins all stood apart as Granstas had instructed.

Then Gransta used his magic to draw a magic circle on the ground.

The magic circle covered an area of ​​about 150 meters in diameter, and then about a hundred ice stakes appeared on the ground.

"Why is Lord Granstas using so many ice stakes?!"

The goblins looked at Gransta with curiosity, momentarily confused. Wasn't the plan to correct their lazy habits?

"You each have one ice stake, stand inside the magic circle!"

Gransta then spoke loudly to the goblins.

"Oh, I'll choose this thicker one!"

"Okay, then I'll choose this one!"

Once Gulans saw that they had all made their choices, he slowly revealed what the training would entail.

"You must use all your abilities today, but without using weapons, to destroy the ice pillars in front of you. Only then will you be considered qualified."

"What? All you have to do is destroy the icicles in front of you? It's that simple, watch me."

A goblin said nonchalantly.

"Watch my [sweep leg] skill."

"Bang!" Not a single ice shard fell from the icicle.

The goblin, refusing to believe its fate, continued to use its skills, one after another, until it ran out of magic power.

"Ugh, Lord Gransta, this... is too difficult!"

Gransta ignored the goblins and cast a slightly modified ice magic circle on the other side of the Frost Wolves.

This magic circle will continuously emit powerful hailstones, and Gransta has all the Frost Wolves enter the magic circle.

"Your purpose is to avoid these hailstones. Remember, only those of you who can survive for an hour within this magic circle will be considered qualified."

after that

"Ugh, why is it so hard!"

"My magic is almost gone, what should I do?!"

"Awoo~"

Inside the magic circle, one frost wolf after another was struck by the rapidly falling hailstones and sent flying. They paused briefly outside before darting back into the magic circle.

...

Jura Great Forest

Today the sun is shining brightly, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the temperature is pleasant—it's the perfect time to slack off.

On a towering tree that pierces the sky, countless thick branches, each as thick as a thigh, are intricately intertwined. On one of these branches, a small blue creature seems to be perched.

As the camera zooms in, you can see the delicate face and a pair of transparent wings on its back. It turns out to be a tiny, exquisite elf, leisurely enjoying a midday nap in the sunlight.

Faintly, terrified screams could be heard.

"Run! Why are these fire ants chasing us so relentlessly?!"

"It's all because you, Captain, insisted on poking that ant nest!"

"This is really bad; we've been screwed over!"

As Ai Ling complained to Kabaru, she quickened her pace.

The masked woman following behind them was speechless. How many times had this happened? How had they managed to survive this long unscathed?

"Stop complaining. If you don't run faster, you'll really get eaten by the ants."

Kabaru couldn't help but turn around and remind him.

He was running at the front, and his eyes immediately fell on a big tree not far away, and he was overjoyed.

"Come with me quickly, there's a big tree up ahead, let's climb it."

With a shout from Kabaru, the group sped towards the tree like the wind. When they arrived at the base of the tree, they all looked up at the towering giant that seemed to reach into the clouds.

Wow, that's so tall!

A gasp of amazement rose from the crowd.

"Why aren't you climbing up yet? You still have time to sit here and complain?"

Kabaru urged anxiously.

"oh oh."

Upon hearing Kabaru's urging, the group snapped out of their daze and began climbing the tree, using both hands and feet. Their practiced movements clearly indicated that this was not their first time doing this.

At this moment, a large swarm of fire ants was tightly surrounding the tree, hissing and roaring at the people in the tree.

Each of these fire ants was over a meter long, and their massive bodies looked extremely intimidating. Kabaru secretly rejoiced.

Luckily, I guessed right. These guys don't seem to be very good at climbing trees, and they don't seem to be very intelligent either.

"Haha, trying to catch me? You're dreaming!"

Kabaru stood on the tree, shouting triumphantly at the fire ants on the ground. His face was radiant with confidence and pride, as if he had already forgotten the pathetic state he had just been in while being chased.

However, Kabaru's provocation enraged the fire ants. They took a few steps back and then began to violently pound the tree trunk with their hard skulls.

The enormous impact caused the entire tree to shake violently, and the people on the tree turned pale with fear.

"Captain, please stop talking nonsense!"

She cried out, her voice trembling with sobs. At that moment, everyone was filled with fear and unease, terrified that they might accidentally fall from the tree and become a meal for the fire ants.

The tree swayed the most violently at the top of the canopy, where a little guy who should have been sleeping in drowsy opened his eyes.

"Hmm... what's going on? Was it an earthquake?"

Another violent shaking occurred, and the little thing, unable to maintain its balance, fell downwards.

"Ouch, something fell on my face!"

Ai Ling quickly removed the object from her face, and after seeing what it looked like, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Wow, what an adorable little person!"

As he spoke, he pinched and squeezed the little figure's face with his hands, causing the little figure in his hands to immediately make a disgusted expression.

The people around Ai Ling also looked over when they heard the commotion.

Their expressions were especially interesting when they saw the little thing in Ai Ling's hand.

"No, this little guy looks so familiar!"

Kabaru was the first to speak, expressing his question.

The masked woman was clearly not as naive as the others, especially after she saw the small object in Ai Ling's hand, she exclaimed in surprise.

"It's an elf!"

The others who exclaimed upon hearing this only realized what was happening after a long pause.

Holy crap, this little thing looks exactly like the legendary elves!
