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

The Pig-Headed Emperor looked at the enormous ice giant in front of him with a puzzled expression. When did such a monster appear in the Great Forest of Jura?

The ice giant's magical aura was comparable to his, and when combined with the red-robed demon above, it subtly suppressed the Pig-Headed Emperor.

Keep in mind that the Pig-Headed Emperor had already devoured a vast number of souls, and the demons had only just reached the level of a Demon Lord, while the Ice Guardians...

"You Pig-Headed Emperor, the murderer who destroyed my village, let's settle things today!"

Benimaru's cold voice rang out at this moment, but his face remained expressionless.

"snort!"

"It's just the law of the jungle; that's the rule of this world."

The Pig-Headed Emperor snorted disdainfully, his face expressionless, and his aura began to rise, clearly preparing to gather his strength.

"This opportunity was given to me by my master after much pleading, all for the sake of avenging the massacre of my clan."

The terrifying magic power emanating from Benimaru began to circulate, causing his red robe to flutter without wind. One eye emitted black flames like karmic fire, while the other eye erupted with white, eerie flames like a grim hell.

This was Benimaru at full power, his eyes bursting with strange-colored flames, and in an instant, Benimaru's body disappeared from the spot.

"Bang!"

The Pig-Headed Emperor reacted quickly, blocking a slash wreathed in black flames with his palm. However, these black flames were quite strange, beginning to cling to the Pig-Headed Emperor's arm and continuously burning it.

All the actions happened in the blink of an eye, and Benimaru's figure appeared before the Pig-Headed Emperor.

He gripped a longsword wreathed in black flames tightly and clashed with the Pig-Headed Emperor. The immense force of their clash caused the ground to sink slightly.

"You pig-headed emperor, let me show you just the tip of the iceberg of my master's power!"

Benimaru's voice rang in the Pig Emperor's ears, seemingly tinged with mockery.

"Kid, don't talk big..."

Then the Pig-Headed Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted. He sensed a sense of danger coming from the red-haired demon in front of him.

"Boom!"

"【Black Flame Hell】"

A massive purplish-black flame shot into the sky, sweeping outwards with billowing flames.

After the flames subsided, only a bare ground remained, along with the pig-headed emperor whose entire body was covered in soot.

"Is this what pain feels like? It's been so long..."

The Pig-Headed Emperor looked at his charred body, a flash of green light, and he was restored to his original state.

"This is the [Self-Regeneration] skill..."

Benimaru landed on the ground not far from the Orc Emperor, looking at the Orc Emperor who was still unharmed despite the damage from his skill.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was still some distance from the strength of a Demon Lord, but he hadn't truly used Lord Gransta's power yet.

suddenly

The Pig-Headed Emperor clenched his fist and charged directly at Benimaru, who was still standing there in a daze, and punched him in the abdomen.

"Bang!"

Benimaru only had time to hold his weapon horizontally in front of his chest. A terrifying force struck, and his body smashed through several trees before coming to a stop a considerable distance away.

The Pig-Headed Emperor was even more puzzled, because his strength was mainly reflected in his physical power, but his punch just now had not caused any damage to the red-haired demon.

"Kid, you seem to have some kind of protective ability..."

Benimaru slowly walked over from a distance, dusting off his clothes as he spoke in a calm tone.

"I forgot to tell you, we're now two against one..."

The moment Benimaru finished speaking...

"Whoosh~"

An ice-rock fist, as large as the Pig-Headed Emperor, landed directly on the Pig-Headed Emperor.

...

Meanwhile, two figures watching from high above were observing the entire battle.

"Phew, I thought Benimaru was going to be seriously injured..."

Rimuru looked on with lingering fear as he watched Benimaru being sent flying by the Orc Lord's punch.

"You're not worried about Benimaru and the others at all, but you agreed to Benimaru's request, so if..."

Gransta shook his head upon hearing this and turned to look at Rimuru.

"I know it's a bit dangerous to let Benimaru fight the Orc Lord, but Benimaru's desire to take revenge himself is making me conflicted."

Moreover, regardless of the outcome of this battle, it will be a valuable learning experience for Benimaru.

"Besides, didn't I send Ice Guardians to help? With their protective abilities, Benimaru won't be in any danger..."

Rimuru nodded thoughtfully after hearing Gransta's explanation.

"Gransta, do you really think so highly of Benimaru? You actually have such high expectations for this subordinate."

"Um."

That's for sure. Although Benimaru is a bit impulsive in battle, his military talent is definitely that of an army marshal. With such great strength, he's even more perfect.

Gransta thought that only after establishing the nation could he feel at ease entrusting the heavy responsibilities of military operations and all military affairs to Benimaru, and then he could peacefully hide in the castle and sleep...

This was clearly Gransta's true thought; he had already begun planning his future life of slacking off.

Haha, Gransta thought to himself as he looked at Rimuru, who still seemed completely unaware.

"Rimuru, just relax and be your 'Meeting Demon King,' I've arranged everything."

Rimuru had no idea that the cunning Gransta had already set his sights on the future.

"Gransta, it's two against one now."

Gransta looked down and, sure enough, saw the Ice Guards begin to make their move.

"【Ice Fist】"

"Boom!"

The enormous fist landed on the Pig-Headed Emperor, and even with the Pig-Headed Emperor's terrifying strength, he could not withstand the power of this punch.

This time, it was Pig-Headed Emperor's turn to fly backward, his body covered in ice shards.

Benimaru didn't let such a good opportunity pass by, and conjured a ball of ice flame, throwing it at the Pig-Headed Emperor.

"【Ice Blast Flame】"

"Boom!"

Blue and white flames swept out, bringing with them a terrifying burst of ice power, instantly turning the surroundings into an ice world.

The sky was filled with swirling ice shards, creating a scene reminiscent of a snowstorm.

Pig-Headed Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood as ice crystals pierced his body, unleashing terrifying destructive power.

Everything in its path froze, and the Pig-Headed Emperor felt his soul begin to tremble.

"Even the soul can be frozen..."

The Pig-Headed Emperor looked at the red-robed figure in front of him, then at the Ice Giant.

"However, you underestimate me too much. I'll show you what the Hungry Ghost Hell is like..."

"Devour them all..."

The Pig-Headed Emperor's evil devouring power began to devour everything around him, even magic and skills.

A devouring force began to move towards Benimaru's location, as if it wanted to devour him entirely.

"Lord Benimaru, watch out!"
