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

The group arrived at the Great Ghost Village

The raging flames engulfed the entire village of the Great Demon, mercilessly scorching every corner and leaving behind shocking scars.

However, what was even more terrifying was that the pig-headed tribe was frantically devouring the corpses of the great demons, and even mercilessly consuming the corpses of their own kind.

This bloody and cruel scene is chilling, as if you were in hell.

"Ah! You damned pig-headed people!"

The red-haired demon clansman's eyes widened, filled with anger and hatred. His gaze was as fiery as he stared intently at the pig-headed men who were devouring their kin.

Even the pink imp standing to the side couldn't bear such a miserable sight and closed its eyes, its heart filled with sorrow.

Gransta watched the scene unfold before him silently, his brow furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of worry.

"As expected, it's the Pig-Headed Emperor's special skill, [Hunger]! This is getting a bit troublesome."

"It seems my fears have come true. We must get this message to Rimuru as soon as possible so the village can prepare."

Gransta focused his mind and used his magic to sense his surroundings.

However, to his disappointment, the two murderers who killed the Great Demon Clan Chief had already disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he could find the demon behind him, he could warn the demon king behind him.

Tell him to stop interfering in the affairs of the Jura Great Forest. If that doesn't work, you can use force to deter him, since this world usually judges right and wrong based on strength.

Gransta naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch these giant demon corpses be devoured at will.

So he took action!

A blue-green magical energy began to spread outwards from the ground beneath Gransta's feet, freezing everything in its path.

The raging flames were extinguished instantly, but the pig-headed men who were frantically devouring the corpses seemed completely oblivious, remaining motionless.

Some of the pig-headed men sensed something was wrong and charged toward Gransta with their weapons. However, they hadn't gone far before their feet became entangled in icy thorns.

These ice thorns, like maggots clinging to bones, quickly spread up their bodies, eventually transforming them into lifelike ice sculptures.

"Click-clack~"

The sound of freezing echoed everywhere, and not even a scream could be heard. The life force of thousands of pig-headed soldiers was thus extinguished.

"Successfully hunted down the Pig-Headed Man ✘N, Raider activated successfully! Gained [Charge Strike] and [Fur Enhancement]..."

"Materials obtained ahead of schedule! Successfully acquired C-rank material [Fang] ✘N..."

"The skills synthesized using [Infected] are quite useful."

Gulansta looked at the scene before him and was filled with surprise and joy.

These C-rank monsters aren't worthy of him drawing his sword yet, so they're a good opportunity to test his new skills.

He looked at the effect of his new skill with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

This powerful and unique skill is a masterpiece created by Gransta through the fusion of [Extreme Cold Domain] and [Ice Thorns], and with the help of the power of [Mortals].

It's known as the "Ice Thorn Hell"!

With a single skill, the lives of thousands of monsters were easily claimed. The area instantly transformed into a chilling, icy hellscape, a truly terrifying sight.

"Gulp~ Gulp"

Six consecutive sounds of swallowing saliva could be heard.

The six great demons behind Gransta swallowed hard, their eyes fixed on the man's back, especially the slight upturn of his lips.

Is this the real powerhouse?

The scene before them, a frozen wasteland resembling hell, delivered an unprecedented visual shock to them.

Just looking at Gransta's back gave them an irresistible feeling, as if they were facing a cold and terrifying demon king.

"Thank you so much, sir! You helped us kill all those pig-headed men. On behalf of the Great Demon Clan, I thank you for your help."

The red-haired young master walked up to Gransta, bowed deeply in thanks, and the others followed suit.

Their expressions became much more respectful at this moment, indicating that they were truly frightened by Granstas's move.

If they knew that Gransta had just been testing a new skill, they would probably be even more shocked!

"Please get up. I don't really like bowing or kneeling all the time. Just call me Gransta."

Gulansta looked at the people bowing and scraping before him and said calmly.

Upon hearing Gransta's words, the red-haired young master and the others exchanged glances, then slowly stood up and stood aside.

"It's a pity we didn't encounter the Pig-Headed Emperor and the demon behind him, otherwise..."

Gulansta paused abruptly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Gransta, are you referring to the legendary Pig-Headed Emperor, who is said to be born only once every few centuries? And is that masked demon the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

The red-haired young master couldn't help but ask, a look of surprise on his face.

Gulansta nodded and said in a deep voice.

"That's right. According to the information I received, that masked demon should be a subordinate of a demon king, and the demon king's strength is not so easy to deal with."

The red-haired young master and the others became serious upon hearing Gransta's words.

They knew that they alone had no chance of getting revenge, after all, the opponent was a demon king.

The red-haired young master stared at Gransta in disbelief, only daring to confirm it when he saw Gransta nod.

"Only the legendary Pig-Headed Emperor could possibly command so many pig-headed people. But what's even more worrying is the [Hungry Ones]..."

It was the older, more experienced ghost with white hair who spoke up at this moment.

But what he really wanted to say was that with the people left now, they simply couldn't get revenge.

"But don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll be fine."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Gulansta quickly offered words of comfort.

He had the idea of ​​subduing the other side, so protecting them was definitely necessary, since he was determined to intercept Hu.

After hearing Gransta's words, the red-haired young master and the others felt a little more at ease.

"I promised you I would help you get revenge, but I failed, so I can't ask anything of you. What are your plans now?"

At this point, Gulansta spoke to them.

The red-haired young master and the remaining few exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of confusion.

"Thank you very much, sir, but we don't know what to do now..."

His eyes dimmed slightly after he finished speaking.

Gulansta wasn't surprised by this answer; that's exactly what he was waiting for.
