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

Ifrit's lips curled into a sinister smile. He knew all too well that he had paid a heavy price to cast this spell, expending the fire magic power of seventeen clones to complete it.

"How cunning, Gransta! I actually fell for its trick. It looks like it's about to use its ultimate move."

Rimuru was filled with remorse, silently cursing Ifrit's treachery and cunning.

However, Gransta didn't take it to heart. Don't forget, he and Rimuru both possess the ability of [Thermal Resistance], making them natural enemies of all fire attacks.

He was very interested to see what tricks Ifrit could pull.

As time passed, the magic circle covering the entire battlefield began to slowly activate, and at the same time, Ifrit's cold voice reached everyone's ears.

"【Max Flame Burst Inferno Array】!"

What? Such a powerful move!

Rimuru's face was full of astonishment. Just from the name, one could feel the terrifying power of this move. It was clearly an ultimate skill that could determine the course of a battle.

Granstas was even more bewildered. He clearly remembered that there didn't seem to be such a skill in the original work. Why was Ifrit not playing by the rules?

Immediately afterwards, a huge light shield with a diameter of over 100 meters descended like an insurmountable city wall, enveloping everyone, including the ice giant.

Gransta, still feeling uneasy, put a layer of [Ice Armor] on the Ice Giant.

A cruel glint flashed in Ifrit's eyes as she slightly raised her hands, and a surge of magical power began to gather around her.

"Lift!"

As a crisp, icy shout rang out, the temperature within the light barrier rose sharply, as if magma were erupting from the earth. The intense heat spread out, making it difficult to breathe.

"Gransta, why does this skill seem so familiar?"

Rimuru, who was standing to the side, turned his head and whispered to Granstas as he watched the commotion.

Gransta rolled her eyes in annoyance, glared at Rimuru, and replied irritably.

"Isn't this the Flame Pillar you just ate? I thought it was some kind of powerful skill, but it's just an enhanced version."

"Ah...this..."

Upon hearing Gransta's words, Rimuru was stunned for a moment, then an awkward smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, the next moment, an incredibly thick pillar of fire shot into the sky again, like a sharp sword, piercing directly through the dark clouds and creating a huge hole. Its terrifying power was enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

Ha ha

"The power is good, but..."

Granstad shook his head, stood in the middle of the giant pillar of fire, and looked at Ifrit with a calm gaze.

Even Rimuru was staring at Ifrit with ill intent.

The room fell completely silent, as if time itself had stopped flowing.

Judging from Ifrit's astonished expression, she clearly had no idea that such an abnormal property as [thermal change resistance] existed in the world.

Ifrit was truly bewildered this time, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

He couldn't understand why his powerful attack had no effect on the other party. Even if the Demon King himself were here, he wouldn't dare to easily take this attack head-on! So why were these two people in front of him acting as if nothing had happened?

Gransta didn't pay attention to Ifrit's expression. Instead, with a slightly mocking smile, he turned to Rimuru and asked.

"Rimuru, is your Predator skill still usable?"

Rimuru was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Gransta to ask such a question. However, he quickly recovered, a sly glint in his eyes, and then answered confidently.

"So you're thinking of... hehe, no problem, then watch my performance!"

With that, Rimuru's body began to soften, and his originally small frame instantly swelled up. He opened a gigantic mouth, large enough to swallow the entire world.

As Rimuru moved, a powerful magical energy surged from his body.

A huge vortex of magical energy formed around him, continuously drawing in the surrounding fire magic.

Guided by the magic circle, the fire magic flowed like a torrent into Rimuru's mouth, where he swallowed it without hesitation.

The giant magic circle on the ground then flickered with a faint light, as if it were crying for help, reminding its master that the magic power it contained was beginning to wane.

At this moment, Rimuru finally stopped moving. His belly was swollen and round, just like a fully inflated balloon.

A flash of blue light appeared on his body, and then he returned to his original appearance.

"Uh... Uh, Gransta... I really can't eat anymore... I can't digest it all."

Rimuru said with difficulty, burping.

Gransta nodded with satisfaction as he watched Rimuru devour most of the fire magic.

He knew that Rimuru's magical power would definitely increase significantly in the near future, a power that was truly enviable!

After all, these are real magical powers, and Rimuru can directly devour them with Predator and convert these fire magical powers into his own magical power for storage.

"Okay, now it's my turn!"

Gransta gazed at the remaining flame magic around him, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But he didn't waste any more words; instead, he activated his skill verbally.

"【Extreme Cold Region】"

As Granstas finished speaking, a biting wind suddenly swept through the surroundings.

A chilling aura quickly spread, colliding and intertwining with the remaining flame magic. In an instant, the entire space was enveloped in the fierce clash between ice and fire.

The space around Gransta turned ice blue. The temperature, which was originally terrifyingly high, dropped drastically to zero.

The scorching flames gradually subsided, and the air was replaced by a domineering, icy blue magic. Even the ice giant's aura became stronger under the extreme cold.

The space battlefield was instantly covered in ice and snow, and even the flames on Ifrit's body seemed to be extinguished.

Ifrit stared blankly at Gransta, who was dressed in a blue robe, as frost slowly began to form on her body.

And surprisingly, a hint of relief flashed in its eyes, at which point Miss Jingjiang's consciousness began to return.

Gransta didn't stop. He took out his eerie, icy blue Ice Demon Longsword and swung it at Ifrit's location.

【Ice Crack Cutting】!
